Fights in movies are ten a penny, but only the good ones remain and give something for each new viewer to take home with them and want to know more about.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT from 2018 does just that. A fight in a bathroom that pushes the boundaries of what can be done to make the average fist fight look extraordinary. Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill and professional stuntman Llang Yang are all over this fight creating magic. Let's find out more shall we?

Enjoy.

A tail of double cross, intrigue and a very daft idea that didn't work but was tested for three weeks before filming commenced.

Paul Newman stars and John Huston directs 'THE MACKINTOSH MAN'

JIM ARNETT is the 2nd Unit Director, but we had so many UK stuntmen at the time on this picture that some of the sequences were probably handed out to others to coordinate.

Enjoy....it's a good one this

Back in the 80s crimefighting was much simpler. In the UK we had 'The Bill'. Uniformed police operating out of a fictional Sun Hill police station fighting villains and crime across London. In LA they had TJ Hooker, going above and beyond the duties of a uniformed police officer to get the job done.

It didn't matter what it took, he'd be prepared to do it, which was excellent news for the stunt teams who were given many wonderful action sequences to be involved in.

Back in the good old days of great action TV and classic rock albums the lines could blur and the stunt business would be called in.

In 1975 Pink Floyd released their album 'WISH YOU WERE HERE', a perfect mix of rock and political statement. In 1977 the TV series 'CHiPS' was screened for the first time. Two wheels of Motorcycle Highway Patrol chasing the bad guys....fabulous.

Stuntman Danny Rogers worked on both....hear more this week....enjoy.

Stuntman Mike Runyard is a very familiar name in the business. He's a motorbike guy and has worked on many wonderful movies and TV shows over the years including 'To Live and Die In LA', 'Cobra', 'Hook' and 'Lethal Weapon 3', but he is probably best known for his work as stunt double to Michael Douglas. Their working relationship started in 1989 on 'Black Rain' and has been going strong ever since, regardless of if it's on the big screen or the 18th hole.

I caught up with Mike during the week and we chatted about some of his work from 38yrs in the business.

We take a look at one of the most talked about moments from any Jackie Chan picture. The fall from the clock tower. How was it done? Why do we see two very different falls in the final take and another one over the end titles?

What is significant about this moment and how does it change what was yet to come from the remarkable Mr Chan?

Enjoy
