RIP Grant Page (Australian stuntman, "Stunt Rock")

[El Pollo Guerrera]

If you like digging up 70's cult classic movies, you've probably seen this trailer:



The star of this was Australian stuntman Grant Page. He passed away recently at age 85, his passing was announced today (March 14th).

He was stunt co-ordinator over the last 45 years for such movies as "Mad Max", "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdone", "The Man From Hong Kong", "Mad Dog Morgan", and much more.

He also acted, appearing in "Stunt Rock" as a (slightly) fictional version of himself, and "Road Games" with Stacey Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis as a possible serial killer.

Rest in peace, sir.

Wasn't he covered in Not Quite Hollywood documentary?

I know I have seen a pile of old footage and recent interviews with him.

Most likely, he's been all over Aussie movies for a long time.

Sorry to bug you, but the latest news story about Page's death (see link) has a picture of him from the "Not Quite Hollywood" documentary.

Here's the link.

I thought that was him. Reminds me I need to rewatch that documentary.

Dude was so fearless that even the Hong Kong stuntmen thought he was crazy.
