This week we look at everyday possessed folk in this classic horror flick.
In particular we look at stuntman CHUCK WATERS and his stairwell at the end of the picture. A beautiful example of directing, editing and performing by one man.

Music is from Tubular Bells (1973) Tubular Bells 2 (1992) and Tubular Bells 3 (1998)

After last weeks episode about the BSR and its many benefits we find ourselves looking to the rest of the world. One seasoned stunt coordinator is asking the same questions we ask when looking at the qualifications required by the BSR. He asks why stunt coordinators have no qualifications at all. Why? Because they aren't required.

Back in 1973 a very important decision was made by the UK stuntmen and women. They decided to create a register of performers. Instead of everyone having trouble finding work, they pulled resourses and changed the way action was created.
Over the last 50yrs many of the great moments ever captured on screen have come from this register.
Let me give you a brief rundown of how this all happened.

Enjoy

Tom Cruise doing that thing he does, this time as investigator Jack Reacher. A man who knows how to handle himself and evade capture.
Stunt Coordinator PAUL JENNINGS does a brilliant job prepping the action scenes. Stunt double CASEY O'NEIL works with Tom, as always, to test everything thoroughly before each sequence is filmed.
ROB ALONZO is brought in as Assistant Stunt Coordinator and trained Tom Cruise for a number of months before filming.

A must watch

This movie does exactly what it says on the tin.
Chuck Norris, assisted by Lee Marvin and a handful of stuntmen take on Robert Forster as a terrorist who hijacks a plane.
Stunt Coordinator DON PIKE lays the action on with a butter knife and JOHN EPSTEIN doubling Chuck does a wonderful.

This weeks adventure see's us taking to the high seas in search of a map, and treasure and an explanation as to why 'CUTTHROAT ISLAND' lost so much money.
It certainly had nothing to do with the action, brought to you by assistant stunt coordinators JORDI CASSARES and DICKEY BEER and their stunt supervisor VIC ARMSTRONG.

The entire movie is an homage to the great days of the Hollywood action adventure pictures of the 30s and 40s.

A celebration of the French stunt professional.
Wonderful driving action with JEAN CLAUDE LAGINEZ in charge and legendary British stuntman JOE DUNNE in charge of the physical action.

Still regarded by many as one of the great car chase pictures in cinematic history.
If you haven't seen it I urge you to do so

Enjoy
