The one occasion you get Michael Caine and Roger Moore in a movie together and it turns out to be this....sadly its not great but is rescued by ROY ALON as stunt coordinator who creates a number of action set pieces to take your mind off the fact that Michael Winner has written and directed this nonsense.
TERRY WALSH doubles Michael Caine and STUART CLARK doubles Roger for the few moments he's in the thick of it.
Check out the YouTube video on Friday for more details

Its the final chapter of the Indy trilogy and its incredibly important.
We look at this from Vic Armstrongs point of view as he had effectively retired from performing and was concentrating on Stunt Coordinating and 2nd Unit Directing. So having to get himself back into shape for a doubling job is an incredible effort. Some of his finest moments - lets explore

With the release of Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One marks the 27th year of this incredible franchise. These movies have continued to push the boundaries of action after the other action pictures may not have hit that bar.
Lets celebrate these films with a walk through those years and have a special look at the action

The media loves lists, primarily when we have slow news days....but are these lists any good?

Lets find out shall we?

Back in the day, I'm allowed use that phrase as I'm of a certain age, ITV was the home of light entertainment. 7pm you could see Emmerdale Farm, not Emmerdale...this was in the days when it was about farming and not adultery or murder.
This would have been followed by Coronation Street and then at 8pm was This Is Your Life hosted by wonderful Eamonn Andrews.
This episode is only one of two where a stuntman is the unsuspecting guest. 

The sound is a little loose in places but its a wonderful moment in history and I hope you enjoy it.

A look at what was happening in the world of Bob Simmons and Bond back in 1983.
An important time to be a fan and if you worked on the Bond a great time to have Bob Simmons on your side.

He was a remarkable man and his achievements on the picture with his stunt team and supervisor Paul Weston are a major reason for the films success.

Step back to June of 1983 and lets look at why Bob Simmons and the stunt team gave Bond his all time high
