"Ain't nothin' like the life
of a Hollywood Stuntman!"
At least, so says Burt Reynolds in his homage to the genre, HOOPER. And Lee Majors on his hit TV series
The FALL GUY
Written by Wayne Hargreaves, former stuntman on Paul Hogan's Australian TV show before he became famous as Crocodile Dundee, this training manual teaches the basics of falling and rolling safely. How to rig dramatic stunt effects safely, and a bit of history about how Yakima Canute trained John Wayne as a stuntman who later became a star. The Duke's advice? "Hit your mark and say your line. How hard is that?" The motion picture industry is always looking for people willing to sacrifice themselves for the safety of a "star." You might be one of them. At least be prepared.
