Yee-haw!
Shamelessly stolen borrowed from Midwest Chick. See if you can identify the movies concerned without looking them up at the video's YouTube page. I recognized five out of six of them.
Aaahhh, yes . . . memories of my younger, movie-watching days . . .
I was ready to feel disappointed if they did not have Hooper's bridge jump in the video. I was told that the movie back then broke several stunt records including the most stunts in a continuous scene and more stunts in a movie.
But if not for nothing, the bar fight between the stunt men and the SWAT team (played by the Superbowl Winners of the era, The Steelers) is worth watching the movie.
I still think whoever was responsible for the slide whistle on the jump in The Man With the Golden Gun ought to be horsewhipped. They traded a perfectly good (if campy) stunt for some stupid yuks that were lame even in the 70s. Even for the Moore era that was a particularly bad low point.

That was back when movies were entertaining. :)
