Well, at one point in the film, the bad guys are attacking Coburn with a helicopter, and he actually jumps on to the chopper! So Coburn hires a crack team of (wait for it) hang gliders and he and the hang gliders go to rescue his kids and his ex-wife. All attempts to rescue her have failed because the bad guys are hold up in a mountain cliffside fortress that is inaccessible by most means of transportation. In the 1976 film, The Sky Riders, James Coburn plays a man who….okay, prepare yourself for the plot of this film….must help his ex-wife’s new husband when Coburn’s ex-wife and his children are kidnapped by terrorists. The opening credits for the series always had a number of notable film and TV stunt shots.Īmazingly enough, one of the more prominent stunts (it appeared in the opening credits the whole run of the show, unlike most of the other stunts, which were cycled out over the years) was actually NOT performed by a stuntman, but by the actual actor from the film!!! ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine. It’s true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.
‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star. The theme song to Lee Majors’ TV series, The Fall Guy, about a Hollywood stuntman, was titled “The Unknown Stuntman,” and had lyrics such as: TV URBAN LEGEND: One of the stunt shots in the beginning of the Fall Guy was not even done by a stuntman.
