After the success of the first movie a sequel was inevitable.

This, like the first, has some memorable moments and stunt performers are involved. We talk to stuntwoman JEAN COULTER about her time on the picture and celebrate the work of stunt coordinator TED GROSSMAN

Biological war has come to the streets of LA, and Charlton Heston is trying to survive. An everyday story of pandemic...art imitating life eh?

Stunt coordinator JOE CANUTT doubles Heston and arranges all the action scenes. Great fire gags in this picture and some splendid motorcycle work by BUD EKINS too. My thanks to DANNY EPPER for his assistance on this episode.

In 1939 YAKIMA CANUTT performed a stunt in the film 'Stagecoach' which changed action cinema forever.
It is the one stunt that is loved universally by stunt professionals. But why?

We discuss this with the one man who has plenty of experience in this very gag. The magnificent TERRY LEONARD who has had two bites of this fast moving cherry. So sit back and enjoy the big man talk us through everything that involves lying on your back under six horses.

Without question the greatest Christmas movie of all time. Well, in my opinion anyway. Not only a wonderful story, fine cast, beautifully shot and another magnificent score by John Williams, but the stunts are quite simply iconic.

Nowadays on the set of a Film or TV show you may hear the stunt coordinator telling the stunt performer that they have to do a 'Home Alone' in the next shot. They will know that this means crashing to the ground hard and from some height or distance.

Stunt Coordinator FREDDIE HICE was the man behind the action on the film but without stuntmen TROY BROWN and LEON DELANEY the bad guys just wouldn't have been funny.

Enjoy and see you all in 2022

Back in 2019 I co-wrote Jump, Rocky Jump with veteran British stuntman Rocky Taylor and he went off an did a number of TV interview to promote the book.
We didn't get much chance to do many together so when we did it was always a fun time.
This is an interview from that time where we both appear on 'The Stunt Pod' talking about the book and Rocky's life in general.

Enjoy.

Take an story of everyday folk.

Two college friends from the US go on a trip to the UK. They find a rural north English village and enquire what the 5 pointed star on the wall is all about. From then on its not going to go well.

Both attacked on the moors. One is killed the other will become a werewolf at the next full moon....luckily for us what the script doesn't allow the action makes up for. ALF JOINT is in charge with VIC ARMSTRONG as his assistant coordinator. Great action in the capital makes this one of the must see pictures.

Enjoy and don't miss Friday's YouTube episode.

Once again HALL NEEDHAM takes the reins of the rollercoaster that is the Smokey movies and BURT REYNOLDS and SALLY FIELDS help an elephant get across the country....anyone under 25 is going, "They do what"?

Stunt coordinator is DICK ZIKER and to double Burt they have BOBBY SEARGENT. Lots of action, plenty of fun

Without question one of the greatest movies ever made and with two of the biggest names in the business.
HAL NEEDHAM and BURT REYNOLDS - not content with living together for 11yrs they went on to take over the world in movies like GATOR, CANNONBALL RUN 1 & 2 and two SMOKEY AND THE BANDITS.

ALAN GIBBS in charge of the action and to this day it remains one of the best adventure comedies ever made. Lets bask in its glory with our look at this classic

The story of a hard hitting cop who's dealing with some hard hitting action going down on the east side.

No I have no idea what any of that means either, but all I do know is that this week we look at COBRA and in particular the work of stuntman COREY EUBANKS who doubled Stallone on the movie and his stunt coordinator TERRY LEONARD.

Corey gives us the lowdown on what really happened on this movie in particular with the 1950 Mercury the character drives around in.
