If people ask (for example) "who played Indy in Raiders?", the true answer is "Harrison Ford, AND Vic Armstrong and Terry Leonard", because some of the most defining scenes which "make" a character aren't the main actor. Therefore, a stuntman is just as much the character as the closeup actor is.
After I moved to Los Angeles and a California Highway Patrol officer pulled me over to give me a ticket I said to the officer: "I spent countless hours watching 'CHiPs' does that count for anything?". And he said: "Sorry to tell you this, but you wasted your time watching that crap. I'm still going to give you a ticket." Well, you can't win them all.
That's funny. I once mentioned Adam-12 to a police officer years ago and he looked at me like he never heard of the show. Personally, though, I do think those old shows are great examples of at least the types of attitudes good policeman should have, or at least in a perfect world.
Any time you saw a vehicle drive on two wheels in films and tv shows produced during the 1970s and 1980s the driver was likely legendary stuntman Buzz Bundy. He was the master at balancing a vehicle on two wheels. His work is featured in Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider to name a few.
12:33 I used to listen to a The Greatest American Hero podcast where these two guys would discuss each episode of the series. And many times they brought up how many times you can see the stunt-man and his badly fitted wig.
So we learned that crappy camera resolution hides stuntmen better. Real dynamite...that's crazy don't think safety was top priority at that time. Hulk Disco action figure coming soon LOL. Maybe the girls from Charlies Angel forgot to shave that day... :) Nice to see a face behind the voice, until next time.
The stunt with the mannequin in Chips had a stunt driver with a crash helmet. The scene in Chips with the exploding truck had two stuntmen in two bikes. Trust me I know - I saw those stunts using a 100 inch projector frame by frame😂. The 'screen' was my bedroom wall but the picture was big enough to see the details.
The Stooges did a football short and used the Pepperdine University team as the opponents, and the only stuntman who wasn't hurt was the one doubling Curley because he was wearing so much additional padding.
one of the few scenes where uncle jesse needed a stuntman on dukes, it's obvious only because the guy's beard nearly falls off during the fight. season 5 return of the mean green machine
I never realized that the character Burgess Meredith was playing in the Wild Wild West, which was supposed to be back in the 1800s, came up with Einstein’s theory, well before Einstein was born, according to “his calculations“.
I'm pretty sure they did not use dummies on the motorcycles in the exploding trailer Chips stunt. If you look, the guy on the left really cracks the back of his head on the pavement and he is probably concussed at that point and seized up his arms and legs. Also if you look the guy on the rights helmet flies off, so all in all that stunt was pretty dang serious!
Guy Williams had a stuntman on that episode of "The Time Merchant" when his character fought Chronos at the end of that epissode. That stunttman was Dick Durock who later played The Swamp Thiing (1982).
I figure that if a superhero can fly they don’t need to jump in any way let alone a running jump. They did it right in the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves when he floated up from a standing position.
One thing I have to give my hats off to is the stuntman for the Three Stooges. They were great about mimicking their movements. They may not of looked much like them, but at least they knew how to make it happen fast enough to where the audience wouldn’t notice
Bio-rythems looks like two stuntmen with jerk wires on the bikes. The guy on the left looks like he took a real shot to the head and was probably out before the cut. Fighters do this sometime when they get ko'd
People didn't really notice Stuntmen back then. They were so caught up in the Action and Story that they didn't notice they used Doubles of the Actors in most episodes.
I think when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s I used to notice, or my parents pointed it out, one, but it never turned me against the show or anything. Seems like they used make big deals about how stunts were done on TV specials and what not, so it was fun to notice stuntmen.
because it gets farmed out and subcontracted down the line. That way whoever gets the OG contract can keep more of the money for doing as less of the work as possible. Animators in south east asia and korea get shit tons of sub contracted CGI work.
@@nobodynothing00000 Thank You. A lot of things now make sense. I wondered why the essential presentation seemed to change on so many basic levels at seemingly random points.
I never liked the A-Team. I thought it was more a comedy. They must have fired a million rounds of ammunition, but no one ever got killed or seriously hurt. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone ever even got wounded by an explosion or a bullet.
You have to keep in mind the A-team was an action show for general audiences. It came on at 8 PM during the time slot shows had to be family friendly. It sort of continued the tradition of the Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers, except they used to shoot the guns out of the hands of the hands of the bad guys.
It looked like female riding the motorcycle to replace Don Knotts
3:00 ...and, loving it!
Star Trek the original series was the worst for obvious stunt doubles. I could see them on my black and white portable TV.
What a show it was still so popular decades later
I hope you all enjoy this latest compilation video I put together from all the stunts and stuntmen scenes I've ran into doing my goofs videos.
"Police Squad!" spoofed this by having a "stunt"man with a full beard obviously replace a pretty lady as soon as the action started.
SCTV spoofed Towering Inferno. They had a scene where Edith Prickly met her double, who she commented was also "double size" lol
If people ask (for example) "who played Indy in Raiders?", the true answer is "Harrison Ford, AND Vic Armstrong and Terry Leonard", because some of the most defining scenes which "make" a character aren't the main actor. Therefore, a stuntman is just as much the character as the closeup actor is.
I remember Benny Hill doing a skit on these stuntmen replacing actors. It was hilarious.
That would have been a hell of a team up. Superman,Captain Kitk, abd the greatest American hero.

True!

Fun fact: neither Ponch nor Jon ever drew their service revolvers on the show. (CHiPs)

Thanks. I think they should give Disco Hulk a movie cameo or at least a comic book😀.
❤😂
We seen all this before ,can you do something new please...
He was up front about this being a _compilation_ & it's not like he was trying to hide it.
Have you watched my new Car 54 Where Are you video, I put out the day before? ruclips.net/video/U5cYQ0TbbEM/видео.htmlsi=OHZpB-PVBqT0cDHz

Sometimes these seem so obvious that I feel a little stupid that I never noticed them back then. Crazy
The quality of TV’s just weren’t what they are now, that’s why they just didn’t bother to really hide it too much
I pulled some stunts when I was a kid. Although, my mother didn't need a Tvcrazyman to know who it was.😆
The Stooges did a football short and used the Pepperdine University team as the opponents, and the only stuntman who wasn't hurt was the one doubling Curley because he was wearing so much additional padding.
10:15 The dummy chips officer is a stuntman that got knocked out when the back of his head hit the pavement. I think...LOL
I’m certain that is correct.
This video has a stuntman taking Tvcrazyman's place.
I love this channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤..
Great escape from modern crap
one of the few scenes where uncle jesse needed a stuntman on dukes, it's obvious only because the guy's beard nearly falls off during the fight. season 5 return of the mean green machine
When I was younger we always tried to pick out the stunt double back in the day was so obvious not so much now with CGI ruines the fun 😶
Yeah, watching a CGI character in action is kind of like watching a live action movie become a video game.
How come Mick Jagger new got credit for playing The Joker ? lol
02:10 That was really good, slowing down the video with a close-up.
Stuntmen were so obvious back than so noticeable it's hilarious goofs
Alfred had a flash back to being a stormtrooper on the Death star.
I like your vocal delivery and your channel.
Thanks
Lol! I love the stuntman scene in Spaceballs
I never realized that the character Burgess Meredith was playing in the Wild Wild West, which was supposed to be back in the 1800s, came up with Einstein’s theory, well before Einstein was born, according to “his calculations“.
Meredith is one of my favorite actors. Always fun to see him pop up in shows. I just rewatched Rocky last night.
I'm pretty sure they did not use dummies on the motorcycles in the exploding trailer Chips stunt. If you look, the guy on the left really cracks the back of his head on the pavement and he is probably concussed at that point and seized up his arms and legs. Also if you look the guy on the rights helmet flies off, so all in all that stunt was pretty dang serious!
Hopefully, no one was hurt. I would like to think they wouldn't have put the same exact scene in the show, if someone had gotten hurt badly.
Guy Williams had a stuntman on that episode of "The Time Merchant" when his character fought Chronos at the end of that epissode. That stunttman was Dick Durock who later played The Swamp Thiing (1982).
Kenneth Johnson said that the dangerous part about Lou Ferrigno doing his own stunts was that he couldn't hear you yelling "Cut!" or "Look out!"
That does make sense. That might have been tricky.
@@tvcrazyman And it was hard to find people who could stand in for a former Mr. Olympia.
You forgot the Chips episode where cars suddenly came rolling off of a car carrier truck!
I figure that if a superhero can fly they don’t need to jump in any way let alone a running jump. They did it right in the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves when he floated up from a standing position.

Thanks, you too!

I really enjoyed this video. Plz keep them coming. take care. 🙂
What is the thing behind the desk in the Get Smart clip before he gets tossed over the desk?
Thanks, of course, now it's easy to spot these with pause and slo-mo...in a theater or on t.v. in the old days, it was tougher to spot! ❤
Very nice video.
Thank you very much!
You are hilarious 😆!! That’s what I think . 👁 I agree with what you’re thinking too. Enjoyed. 👍💕😆📺
Thanks
Wow, I thought for sure the Stooges did their own stunts.
William Forsythe @12:03.
Nothing better to do isee 🤔😒!!

CGI seems to have gone backward for the past twelve years. Not sure why.
because it gets farmed out and subcontracted down the line. That way whoever gets the OG contract can keep more of the money for doing as less of the work as possible. Animators in south east asia and korea get shit tons of sub contracted CGI work.

Just say you don't really care for the action genre, because that's pretty much always the case. **shrugs**
