Vitali has appeared in a number of martial arts films, including Superfights, Revenge of the Ninja, Wheels on Meals, The Cut Off, No Retreat, No Surrender 3, and American Kickboxer.[citation needed] Vitali has since focused on producing child safety videos and writing children's literature.[1] His book on bullying entitled, "Bullyproof Your Child" was released in fall 2007.[citation needed]
