Because I don't know where else to look...

I'm writing about bounty hunters but have no knowledge of them AT ALL besides Cowboy Bebop and random tidbits of Dog the bounty hunter's reality tv show thing.

Does anyone know of any shows/movies/clips on youtube related to bounty hunting? Hook me up!

How's my novel coming? >< I hate Thursdays and Fridays; I'm always so tired from the week by this point. Solution: Reading a good novel for an hour and finishing with a good cuppa English tea.

My knowledge starts with Janet Evonavich and ends with Cowboy Bebop. Check on wikipedia and government websites?

She's awesome! (I can never spell her last name correctly though.)

Awesome! I love the Stephanie Plum series. That Easter Bunny incident had me cracking up for like an hour!

What does the erri part mean?

It was the original last name, if I remember correctly, because the customs cut the name short. I simply love Stephanie's grandmother!

This is all my knowledge of Bounty Hunter. :P

Bounty hunters-- the quicker picker uppers!

Try looking under "skip tracers" as well. All my resources are at home and I'm at work now, but bounty hunters most often work for bail bonds companies, so you might try looking there, as well. I don't know of shows specifically, though I do know of a few books.

There's a movie called "Domino" about a female bounty hunter. It stars the girl who was in PotC.

Cowboy Bebop for the win, btw.

Yeah. I couldn't think of her name.

Try this site: http://money.howstuffworks.com/bounty-hunting.htm

How Stuff Works can be a pretty useful site.

I'm drinking English tea right now with milk and sugar!
I love pretending to feel cultural. Ha.

The only bounty hunter movie I know is 'Midnight Run' with Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin.

I doubt it's entirely accurate, but I think the movie is absolutely fabulous. It deals more with the gathering of a criminal than the inner workings of bounty hunting itself, though.

There's also a bounty hunter in 'Jackie Brown' (which Robert De Niro was also in.)

I think these could both be used for inspiration for the hunter's character or how they go about tracking down the criminal, but the sources other people have are probably more informative.

play Dark Savior. it has a main character who is a bounty hunter. it won't tell you much realistic information but its an awesome game. where else will you get to run around a prison complex with a lizard man balanced on your head fighting people with your pet cybernetic bear?
