BEHIND THE STUNTS

Its always a pleasure to talk to one of my heroes and especially during the realize week of the new SUPERMAN movie hitting the UK cinemas.

PAUL WESTON isn't just a remarkable stuntman and coordinator, he is one of a select few who were there at the very beginning. Under the direction of RICHARD DONNER they found a way to make CHRISTOPHER REEVE fly for real as SUPERMAN in 1978.

The most spectacular thing many have ever seen on film.

If they hadn't have done that we wouldn't be here 47yrs later watching a new installment of this incredible franchise.

In 1975 a movie was made that didn't do the sort of business it was expected to do. The star was Joe Don Baker and he was riding high on the back of 'Walking Tall'.

Forty years later its made a bit of a comeback...oh, not the movie....the stunt we look at today. A train crash with a difference.

Lets take a look and then explore the rest on Friday.

Turns out that its 50yrs since Evel Knievel attempted to jump 13 buses at Wembley Stadium in May of 1976...it didn't go according to plan and recently I've seen a number of posts telling me that Evel was the greatest 'stuntman' who ever lived....I beg to differ....

I am joined by stuntman ELLIOTT COOPER who performed a brilliant 'gag' in the movie 'The Beekeeper' and earned himself a Taurus World Stunt Award nomination. I incorrectly credited his fall to someone else...stuntman HARRY MACKANGA who won the award for Hardest Hit. 

Luckily Elliott is a lovely guy and was happy to chat about it and how his stunt was created.

Yes, its that time again where the stunt community comes together to celebrate the success of the last twelve months. 

This episode genuinely couldn't have been made without the wonderful cooperation of stunt professionals, Lasha Mdzinarashvilli, Lucy Johnson, Heidi Pascoe, Tammie Baird and Brett Sheeran who have gone above and beyond to help me out with audio and video for this weeks episode.....thank you.

Is the world a safer place without Clouseau? Not really...as the man sent to find him is a bumbling Buffon...called Clifton Sleigh. Stunt Coordinator JOE DUNNE delivers with his action and uses the very best in the business at the time.

Apart from having one of the great movie themes ever, its also a wonderful example of the excellent work of the stunt double.

Directed by Bond director Guy Hamilton, the stunt coordinator is GLENN RANDALL JR, and Fred Waugh is doubled by the sadly missed STEVEN LAMBERT.

HAVOC is out today on @Netflix and I was lucky enough to catch up with the action designer and stunt coordinator JUDE POYER during the week and I got to ask him how the remarkable action was to create.
