While logging anecdotes from the Luc Merenda interview for my documentary (
http://www.lovelockandload.net/forum/index.php?topic=1936.0 ), I noted that he mentioned his three most dangerous stunts as being:
1) Stepping from one moving bus to another (I couldn't tell if he meant he was on the top of the bus or not).
2) Brawling while handcuffed (this was only dangerous because he fell while handcuffed),
and
3) A car jump where the car had to land on something (on the water, I think -- a barge maybe?). From the way Merenda tells the story, it makes it seem as if both he and stunt coordinator Remy Julienne were in the car together for the actual jump.
None of those scenes immediately rang familiar so I popped in all the Merenda Eurocrime films I have on hand. I scanned through:
THE VIOLENT PROFESSIONALS
DEADLY CHASE
THE LAST ROUND
GAMBLING CITY
MAN CALLED MAGNUM
KIDNAP SYNDICATE
...and didn't find the moments in question (but admittedly, I watched on 2x or 4x speed). Of course, Merenda made about eight or so more Eurocrimers that I haven't seen, and they could be from those.
Anybody remember these moments, and if so, what film they're from? (It's always possible that he got off topic, and these stunts came from movies outside the crime genre....)
