Rick English stunt performer talks spy movie stunts with Dan and Tom on their show Cracking the Code of Spy Movies.\xa0 If you\u2019ve seen at least three spy or action movies in the last two decades, you\u2019ve likely seen Rick\u2019s work in at least one of them.\xa0\xa0

Among the topics we discuss, Rick tells us how the stunt performer business works, how the motorcycle crash stunt he did in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION was done, and he tells how they did the zero-gravity hallway fight in INCEPTION, what he wants from a stunt coordinator.\xa0 Listen to find out how.
