I LOVE this movie mainly because I grew up 3 blocks from the River edge site. It was a construction supply house. Cement, sand, gravel and the like. The grain silo down along the canal is long gone. I used to see it every day walking to and from school. The River Edge site is also diagonally across from the former Washington field where the Brooklyn Robin's played prior to moving to Ebbitts field and rename the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. 😉❤❤
I'd heard it was Burt, too. Don't remember why I thought so. The fall HAD to be injurious. I'm amazed it wasn't crippling or worse. Thanks for the refresher and new info on this fine and fun film.
The two things that every film fan knows is that Burt wore a wig and Harrison Ford was a chippy. I think Hal Needham knew Burt's limitations regarding stunts and put him in sequences that looked good but were quite basic for an average fit guy, which Burt certainly was. Another piece of trivia is Glenn Randall's dad trained Trigger....Nice episode again, Jon.
