The story of one man trying to be the best....I know that could be any movie, but this one stars EDDIE KIDD as Dave Munday who accepts a challenge to jump his motorcycle over an 80ft viaduct to prove he's the very best.
If you're looking for Academy award nominated acting here you won't find any, but what you will find is an hour and a half of good fun and great bike stunts.

Its it a bird....yes and she's lovely....Helen Slater is Supergirl and a fine figure she cuts too....ALF JOINT as stunt coordinator as he was back in 1978 with Superman.
A fun film, sadly lambasted by the critics....and a Jerry Goldsmith score to die for....enjoy

It's time to take a look at a great TV show from the eighties. Mike Hammer as portrayed by Stacey Keach was given a new lease of life during this period and gathered enough momentum to warrant a couple of spin off TV Movies. Which we take a look at this week....enjoy

A television series that made big stars of Rowen Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones and Pamela Stephenson and gave the occasional stuntman a job.
This episode from 1979/80 was one such occasion. NICK WILKINSON performs a spectacular car knockdown just to get a laugh - enjoy
watch the knockdown here:

A simple story of everyday folk....girl meets, horse, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, gains horse and together they live happily ever after....they go through a few ups and downs during The Grand National steeplechase held at Aintree Liverpool. Only this movie never went anywhere near the UK and filmed everything back in Hollywood....plenty to explore....so why not join me at the three strand tape and wait for the starter to send us on our way?

We learn today via social media of the passing of a huge action icon.
CHUCK NORRIS was part of a stunt family. Not just in his films but in his actual family. AARON, and ERIC were both stuntmen who moved into the world of stunt coordination and directing.
A Norris production was always a fun ride according g to those who worked with him. He was alway there to take advice, give it with his huge martial arts experience and be prepared to stand back and let the stunt double take over when it was deemed appropriate, not only for the actor but also for the film.
He will be sorely missed.....thank you for everything you did sir.

Charlie Picerni is without shadow of a doubt one of the best stuntmen/coordinators and 2nd unit directors the business has ever seen.
It was such a thrill to spend some time with him on zoom, as he's not LA based these days, to chat about his thoughts on the business and how it's changed over the years. We touch on a whole bunch of topics and it's a fun listen. Enjoy.
