BEHIND THE STUNTS

Send us Fan Mail

Long before those all inclusive holidays and exciting package deals - and before COVID - there was Westworld. The place to go and let your wildest fantasies loose in a safe environment.

Safe until the robots decide to get their own back. Wasn't it Jeff Goldblum who said when someone made the comment about Jurassic Park being like Pirates of the Caribbean , "the only difference is on Pirates they don't come alive and eat the public". A similar situation here - from the pen of Michael Crichton who also directed the movie.

Stunt Coordinator is DICK ZIKER and the fire gag in this movie is still talked about today. That's how good it is.

I don't do film reviews but I've decided to have a stab at a quick go at one, but obviously I'm not remotely interested in the plot or story for this. Purely the action. A few nods and my own opinions but mainly a thank you to all those who took part and created action for the film.

New shows coming soon so keep checking back with the channel and all the social medias

Enjoy

The final Pierce Brosnan installment which came out on the 40th anniversary in 2002.
The action is hot and the ice is very cold...its ice after all.

We talk to 2nd Unit Director Vic Armstrong and stuntmen Rocky Taylor, George Cottle, Jim Dowdall and Mark Mottram  about their experiences on the movie, filming the ice chase and making the good commander look amazing.

Thank you to my friends from Roger Moore's Cubby Hole for use of their Jim Dowdall interview and to the team from Cunning Stunts for their George Cottle interview. Click the links below and discover more about these two great podcasts.

James Bond is Pierce Brosnan once again and in my opinion my favourite of his four outings as  007.

Simon Crane is back in the coordinators chair and  he delivers on the action.

We talk to VIC ARMSTRONG  about creating the pre-title boat chase down the river Thames and to stuntman MARK MOTTRAM who doubled Pierce on this movie for many of his iconic moments.

Vic interview is exclusive to Behind The Stunts (c) 2021
Mark Mottram interview is (c) 2019 The Stunt Pod

Pierce Brosnan has established himself as a great Bond after his appearance in Goldeneye, now he must go that little bit further with Tomorrow Never Dies and what a ride.

Simon Crane wasn't available as he was off shooting the movie about the sinking ship....no not the Devonshire the other one so director Roger Spottiswoode managed to get hold of his pal Vic Armstrong who returned to Bond after 10yrs away doing other projects.

We speak to VIC ARMSTRONG then  ROCKY TAYLOR  gives us a crash course in becoming a 'cunning linguist' and the man himself PIERCE BROSNAN explains what it was like to see his BMW drive around with nobody in it....apart from stuntman STEVE GRIFFIN that is.

With NO TIME TO DIE being just around the corner I thought we could enjoy an interview from 2020 when Lee was in Morocco testing Triumph motorcycles, the same bikes that appear in the movie.
He talks about the bikes and his doubling work plus a nice little bit about Indiana Jones if that floats your boat too.

My thanks to ADVRIDER for use of the interview

Ladies and Gentleman Pierce Brosnan is Bond and everything is alright with the world.

We've been waiting since 1986 and finally 1995 comes along and he's got the gig. A new man in the top job and a new man as stunt coordinator as SIMON CRANE takes over.

We find out about how some of these extraordinary scenes are put together with stuntman JIM DOWDALL who was responsible for a lot of military advising and a bit of tank driving, GARY POWELL who not only drove the tank for majority of that amazing chase in St Petersburg, but also dies a thousand deaths as did PAUL HERBERT who starts his dying for Bond as the pilot of the plane in the pre-title.

James Bond is back......You were expecting someone else?


Thanks to David Holmes, Daniel Radcliffe  and the team at 'Cunning Stunts' for use of the segment from Paul Herbert's interview. Find their podcast wherever you find yours today,
