John “Bud” Cardos
Seemingly half the fight scenes in the sixties were doubled by the iron-headed Bud Cardos. He also directed more than his share of movies, including KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS, THE DARK and FORBIDDEN WORLD.
Bobby Sargent
Grew up in the stunt industry surrounded by the great generation of stunt innovators that preceded him. A fount of stories and lore. Sargent has performed and coordinated stunts for scores of films including such favorites as SHARKY’S MACHINE and FIRST BLOOD.
Bob Ivy
Starting with THE DUKES OF HAZARD in 1985, Bob Ivy has been one of the most reliable and busy wheelmen and jack-of-all-stunts out there. The towering Ivy has created and performed stunts in a dizzyingly large number of films and TV shows including NEAR DARK and BUBBA HO-TEP.Be warned, we expect foul language and adult situations.
