Ever since Yakima Cannut slid underneath the stagecoach for his incredible stunt back in 1939 stunt performers have been desperate for a chance at recapturing his glory. The opportunity finally came for Terry Leonard while shooting Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark, the action-adventure classic which set the tone for action movies in the1980s. Rumour has it that Harrison Ford was up for doing most of the stunts in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but even he was wise enough to draw the line when it came to the truck drag stunt - one false move to the left or right and he'd have been crushed under the weight of the truck. Fortunately Terry Leonard had the skills required to avoid such a fate himself and the result is a great homage to Stagecoach and a terrific stunt in its own right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0Iw-_cd1GU
