Okay so its a John Wayne movie and he's playing a cop. You get the idea. He does his hard hitting cop thing, but the action is very good indeed and a piece of history was made whilst filming. The climactic car chase on the beach contains the first ever 'cannon roll' captured on film. The car is driven by Glen Wilder and is as brutal as any seen today. Just think without this film you wouldn't have had the Aston Martin 'cannon roll' in Casino Royale....gets you thinking doesn't it?

Wreck-It Ralph 2012
As good an animation as you'll ever see. Great voices, beautiful to look at and in 3D you are transported to a world of arcade game heroes from way back when. I loved it and the kids loved it. All boxes ticked.

A 100ft fall from a bank in Rio. The revoloutionary 'decender' used for the first time. Roy falls tethered for a hundred feet then performs a breathtaking fall of the remaining hundred feet into an airbag. His movement is graceful and the result is stunning.Translated from by -
Escape to Athena 1979
My very first movie at the cinema. I was 6 and a bit and captivated. Beautiful scenery, the screen was so big I convinced myself I was in the movie. My first viewing of Roger Moore who became my Bond. Also the first time I found a love for the action flick and stunts in particular. Vic Armstrong as Stunt Co-ordinator.
