Send us a text After the untimely passing of Robbie Coltrane recently I was very moved by the amount of tributes that were pouring in from many stunt performers/coordinators who had worked with him over the years. I thought it would be interesting to explore doubles wearing costumes and especially those who have to wear costumes that could prevent regular movement. Robbie played Hargrid in the Harry Potter films and his costume is an excellent example. So stick around and i'll throw so...
Send us a text It's hard to believe that it's 25yrs since the creation of the Taurus World Stunt Awards. Here in the UK we saw it on late night TV, 2am in the morning in the graveyard shift. But it harked back to the stuntman awards from the 1980s. Its still going now, although its a very different animal now, but we should celebrate this remarkable venture.

Send us a text Can you believe it's been 40yrs since Roger Moore bowed out of the James Bond role? Seems like only yesterday for me and as long as I have breath in my body he's still my favorite. But, at the time, there was a great deal of flack when the public realized just how old Roger Moore really was.....simple arithmetic would have told them he was 57 but they had to go and make a big song and dance about it. "I do all my own stunts, and my own lying", said Roger whenever he was asked a...

Send us a text No, it's not an episode about the conspiracy surrounding Stevie Wonders sight....although that would be an extraordinary episode....no, this is about those moments in films and on TV where a vehicle, often a car or truck must appear to drive itself.
