Director/Stuntman Hal Needham Dead
RIP

Hal Needham Dead; Legendary Stuntman and Director Was 82

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/ha...82-1200763031/



Hal Needham, longtime stuntman and director of “Smokey and the Bandit” and “Cannonball Run” for Burt Reynolds, died Friday in Los Angeles after a short battle with cancer, his manager confirmed. He was 82.

At one time the highest paid stuntman in the world, he was said to have broken 56 bones, broken his back twice, punctured a lung and knocked out a few teeth while working on 4500 TV episodes and 310 feature films. His work was admired by generations of filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino.

Needham, a native of Tennessee, broke into show business as a stunt double for Richard Boone on the series “Have Gun, Will Travel.” Among the hundreds of films on which he did stunts were “Stagecoach,” “How the West Was Won,” “The Bridge at Remagen,” “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” and “Little Big Man.”

He became friends with Reynolds, who offered Needham the opportunity to direct “Smokey and the Bandit,” for which Needham had written the screenplay. Needham also directed “Hooper,” “Stroker Ace,”"Street Luge” and “Rad.”

Needham received a Governors Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences last year, where he was introduced by Tarantino, who said, “I have ripped off a lot of shots from you, and today I say, ‘Thank you very much.’” At the tribute, Needham called himself “the luckiest man alive and lucky to be alive.”

He developed numerous camera and production innovations, and won a Scientific and Engineering Oscar in 1987 for the design and development of the Shotmaker Elite camera car and crane. Among his other inventions were the air ram, air bag, car cannon turnover, nitrogen ratchet, jerk-off ratchet and rocket power.

Even as a young kid, I can remember That whole southern redneck trucker craze was big in the 70s and early 80s. Reynolds and Needham were a huge part of that.

Hooper was my favorite. And damn Sally Field was hot/cute back in the day. As much as Valerie Bertinelli, it's because of her that I've always preferred brown-eyed brunettes.

Yeah, me too!

Smokey & the Bandit has been a top 10 favorite of mine for eons. Best value I ever got out of a DVD. Must have watched it 25 times.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes Sheriff Buford T. Justice look like a possum's pecker.

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.

You sombitches couldn't close an umbrella!

Get off of there, you Moose twit!

I'm gonna barbeque yo' ass in molasses!

There's no way, NO WAY that you came from my loins. Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo' mama in da mouth!

I take my hat off for one thing, and one thing only.

I don't think my dog bit you, mister. 'Cause Fred definitely DON'T like grease!

Before I tell you where I am, Sheriff, there's just one thing I wanna say. You must be part coon dog, 'cause I've been chased by the best of them, and son, you make 'em look like they're all runnin' in slow motion. I just wanna say that.

Well, thank you, Mr. Bandit. And as the pursuer, may I say you're the godamnedest pursuee I've ever pursued. Now that the mutual bullshit is over, WHERE ARE YOU, YOU SOMBITCH?

You run up to Boston, and bring back some clam chowder for me and my daddy.
