"Stagecoach" (1939) would be John Wayne's starmaking picture.
His friend, actor/stuntman Yakima Canutt, was the film's stunt coordinator.
Yakima personally performed one thrilling stunt in particular...
...which would famously inspire a similar one in "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
And then there's the next one...
Yakima Canutt would win an honorary Oscar award in 1967.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
