This morning I caught Have Gun - Will Travel's Gun Shy with Dan Blocker. There's something slightly unbelievable about my beloved Richard Boone delivering a 1-2 breadbasket punch to dear old Dan before finishing him off with a double-fist slam on his spine. It simply didn't look real. We all know that Dan Blocker was a pussycat, but still... Was Dan ever in a film with the Duke? Is there a thread? (My right wrist is in a splint and I'm lazy.)
One of the best things that happened to HGWT was when Hal Needham was hired as stunt double for RB. From then on the stunts looked real and the fighting improved astronomically.
