Have you got what it takes?
The Stunts Each stunt consists of a series of clearly defined
objectives,
which can range from 180-degree spins, to perfectly timed
jumps, dramatic barrel rolls and T-bone smashes. In order
to succeed the player must achieve all or some of each
scene's
set objectives.
Locations As in the hugely successful Driver titles, STUNTMAN
is set in a number of different and well-known locations.
The Stunts take place on movie sets in 6 different
countries
around the world.
Completing each stunt rewards you with bonus items. These
can be used in the Stunt Arena, which you create
yourself.
The Real Stuntman Vic
Armstrong
Reflections and Infogrames have been dealing with one of
movies biggest Stuntman, Vic Armstrong. Vic has appeared
in a huge number of well-known blockbusters such as
Rambo,
Indiana Jones, Universal Soldier, Starship Troopers and
the big remake of the hit TV series Charlies
Angels.
Vic Armstrong has worked in motion pictures for over 36
years and is well known all over the world.
His resume reads like a whos who of
film
history, including some of the most popular films of all
time. Following his stunt debut as an accomplished horse
rider doubling Gregory Peck in Stanley Donens
Arabesque,
Vic went on to work as a stunt performer in countless
movies,
commercials and television shows in Europe and around the
World. He is still the only person ever to have
successfully
jumped around The Grand National Course at
Aintree
with a helmet mounted film camera on his head; this is a
throw back to his early teens as a steeplechase jockey.
Vics earliest stunt work included stints on the
Peter
Cook & Dudley Moore Show, Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang and some of the classic James Bond films
such as You Only Live Twice, On Her
Majestys
Secret Service & Live and Let
Die.
His reputation for precision and attention to detail with
the most complicated of stunts, earned him the
opportunity
to become a Stunt Coordinator, beginning with his work on
the 1968 British film Figures in a Landscape
for Joe Losey, and continuing with such epics as A
Bridge Too Far, Young Winston and the
first two Superman films, in which he also
doubled
for Christopher Reeve. His skill made him a popular
double
for several other leading men, including Sean Connery,
Donald
Sutherland, Timothy Dalton, George C Scott, Malcolm
McDowall,
Roger Moore, Richard Chamberlain, George Lazenby, Ryan
ONeal,
John Voight, Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson.
His resemblance and friendship with Harrison Ford
established
on the film Raiders of the Lost Ark,
merited
Vic the opportunity to double Ford and Stunt coordinate
throughout the Indiana Jones trilogy, making
Vic (along with George Lucas) one of only two creative
members
to work on all three segments of the Indiana
Jones
films plus the three seasons of the Young Indiana
Jones TV series.
As an Action Unit Director and Stunt Coordinator, his
creative
vision has lent itself to films helmed by some of the
worlds
most respected and prominent directors, such as Steven
Spielberg,
Paul Verhoven, David Lean, Peter Yates, Roland Joffe,
Roman
Polanski, Sir Richard Attenborough, Ridley Scott, Michael
Cimino, George Lucas and Martin Scorsese.
It was, in fact, his association with George Lucas, that
led him to his directorial debut, on the première
episode on the second season of the Young Indiana
Jones Chronicles.
Ironically, it was in that episode that Vic directed his
friend of old Christopher Lee, whom he doubled in the
Hammer
horror films.
In his first directorial feature, the 1994 film,
Joshua
Tree the casting of George Segal also proved to be
an ironic throwback to Vics stunt days, as he had
doubled the veteran actor in the British release A
Touch of Class. The international success of
Joshua
Tree proved that Vics expertise and finesse
in creating action sequences are not lost on a worldwide
audience, The venture equally established him as a
talented
principal director, whose guidance elicited a more
personal
side of the films lead actor, Dolph Lundgren.
Vics extensive body of work includes films of all
genres and size, including The mission,
Empire
of the Sun, Black Beauty,
Terminator
2, An American Werewolf in London,
Double
Impact Dune, Total Recall,
Air America, Universal Soldier,
Return of the Jedi, Bladerunner,
Henry V, Rob Roy, Starship
Troopers, Tomorrow Never Dies,
Entrapment,
The World is not Enough, Charlies
Angels,
Captain Correllis Mandolin and
Gangs
of New York.
Vic is a truly international moviemaker having worked on
more than 250 movies in over 50 countries and the list is
still growing. During the rare times that he is not
working
Vic lives between his farm in Berkshire and his house in
Los Angeles.
Now hes been working closely with us on one our
