Death Wish 3 - A phenomenal cheesy Cult flick directed by Michael Winner (1935–2013). Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) is back in New York City bringing justice to the streets with the help of ludicrous dialogues and refreshingly ruthless violence. The last NYC Street punks (in dreadful costumes!) are on the verge to extinction. They have no chance against the secret weapon of Paul Kersey, hilarious one-liners dynamically fired without warning. High body count - low grade. What a glorious brainless crap! Love it! During the production of the movie in London, England, in June 1985, 'Fall Guy' Rocky Taylor leapt for his life when a film stunt gone terrifyingly wrong. |

The famous British Stuntman Rocky Taylor was hired for a 40ft jump from the top of a blazing building. After the roof was set alight (petrol sprinklers), Rocky waited until the flames were at their height. But the wooden parts of the building were in flames quite fast and he could no longer see his landing pad of cardboard boxes. He was trapped in the fire. The only chance to get out of the enormous heat was to jump 'blind'. Rocky missed the boxes and crashed on to the concrete in front of the shocked crew. The daredevil was rushed into the hospital with a cracked pelvis, fractured vertebrae and minor facial burns. Rocky Taylor was several weeks in hospital and unable to work for some years, but he is still active today and did the 'Death Wish' stunt again for a charity purpose. |

Rocky Taylor, born on February 28, 1945, doubled for Roger Moore and Sean Connery in James Bond films. The lionhearted Stuntman, Stunt coordinator and actor did some great shows like 'Indiana Jones', 'Monte Carlo or bust!', 'A Bridge too far', 'The Wild Geese', and 'Krull'. What a great career with a bunch of wonderful jobs. Check out his website: www.actionstuntsrockytaylor.com |
