Can you believe it's been 40yrs since Roger Moore bowed out of the James Bond role? Seems like only yesterday for me and as long as I have breath in my body he's still my favorite. But, at the time, there was a great deal of flack when the public realized just how old Roger Moore really was.....simple arithmetic would have told them he was 57 but they had to go and make a big song and dance about it. "I do all my own stunts, and my own lying", said Roger whenever he was asked about being the good commander.

Luckily for him he had stuntmen like Jason White around to take the blows for him. We chat to Jason and find out a bit more about this remarkable experience.

This is the first time that Bonny and I have recorded a podcast that isn't on Zoom. Couldn't waste the opportunity so we sat down and did that thing we do....face to face. 

You will note that my colleagues voice is delicate and tiny and may not be as loud as you'd hear when she's several thousand miles away from me.....

An everyday story of murder on a train and an innocent man caught up in the middle of it.

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor deliver two wonderful performances in this classic. The action is provided by stunt coordinator MICKEY GILBERT, no stranger to the world of action adventure. 

An excellent movie, great score and fine action beats

No, it's not an episode about the conspiracy surrounding Stevie Wonders sight....although that would be an extraordinary episode....no, this is about those moments in films and on TV where a vehicle, often a car or truck must appear to drive itself.

Before the days of cgi as we know it now, everything was done in camera. The blind driver played a wonderful part in this....enjoy

Fights in movies are ten a penny, but only the good ones remain and give something for each new viewer to take home with them and want to know more about.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT from 2018 does just that. A fight in a bathroom that pushes the boundaries of what can be done to make the average fist fight look extraordinary. Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill and professional stuntman Llang Yang are all over this fight creating magic. Let's find out more shall we?

Enjoy.

A tail of double cross, intrigue and a very daft idea that didn't work but was tested for three weeks before filming commenced.

Paul Newman stars and John Huston directs 'THE MACKINTOSH MAN'

JIM ARNETT is the 2nd Unit Director, but we had so many UK stuntmen at the time on this picture that some of the sequences were probably handed out to others to coordinate.

Enjoy....it's a good one this
