For the DVD and Blu-ray launch of the Wolverine movie, Fox Home Entertainment invited me along to what I was told was "something really cool", and by crikey they weren't kidding, by the end of the day I had lived out a life long dream of being a super-hero stuntman, and got to play with the loudest motorbike I'd ever had under my nuts!
