One of the greatest gangster movies ever made.......I'm not going to argue with that, but its also reliant on stunt coordinator Roy Alon and his stunt team to bring the action to life.
In its 40yrs run of success, this hasn't been highlighted. Until now.

So lets look at the stunts on The Long Good Friday and give Harold Shand a little bit of peace and quiet eh?

Stuntman TERRY LEONARD is regarded by many as the greatest in the business. His work with director JOHN MILIUS is the stuff of folk law and here he talks to us in an exclusive interview conducted back in 2018 for THE STUNT POD.

He discusses his work on the film WIND AND THE LION and explains, in detail, some of the styles and equipment used to get the final incredible results.

His work with horses and surrounding himself with the best American and Spanish riders meant the action scenes were always going to be memorable.

To hear the first part of a two part interview with Terry about his life and career click THE STUNT POD episode link below and if you enjoy that explore the rest of the back catalogue.

The very first movie I ever saw at the cinema and started my love affair with all things action. What a way to start though!
