Unfortunately stuntmen were not credited in the old days. About a half dozen show up in those credits but it's safe to say that a couple of dozen probably worked on THE FIGHTING REPUBLICAN. In the Duke biography "Shooting Star" he's quoted as saying Jock Mahoney was "our chief stuntman" on FIGHTING REPUBLICAN. Doubtful full credits will ever appear unless someone has access to old studio records.

Does anyone know what films Jock Mahoney doubled Duke on or for which stunts? He ended up being quite famous himself a few years later as "Range Rider". I seem to remember reading years ago that he was hired for "Wake of the Red Witch" but that Duke thought his hips and waist were too slim. I've heard his name connected with "The Fighting Kentuckian" as well. Did he do the jump off the second floor balcony onto the horse in that? Thanks.
