According to the Stockton Record, the area has been baking in 100-plus degree heat this week. Schneider was not the first to feel the heats knock out punch. The AP reported that firefighters had been called out to the set several times already to treat crew members for heat exhaustion.

The film, Big Stan, centers on a con man – played by Schneider who also directs - who is sent to prison on a fraud rap, but before he goes he enlists the help of a martial arts master who teaches him some wily moves to ward off fellow inmates "who want to hurt or love him," per IMDB.com. Confirmed cast mates for Schneider on Big Stan are David Carradine, Jennifer Morrison and Dr. Drew Pinsky About 150 local Stockton townies are playing prison guards and tough-guy convicts in the film, as well. "These are the best extras in the world," Schneider told the Stockton Record, on what was another 100-degree day of filming.
"I told one guy, we've got to put some tattoos on you…Oh, you've already got them, okay."
