Alf Joint
Alf Joint (22 September 1927 – 25 July 2005), born Alfred Charles R. Joint, was a British film and television stunt performer, stunt coordinator and arranger.
He was notable for his contributions in numerous films over a 30-year period including: ''The Heroes of Telemark'' (1965), ''Kelly's Heroes'' (1970), ''The Omen'' (1976), ''A Bridge too Far'' (1977), ''Superman'' (1978), ''Superman II'' (1980), ''Superman IV: The Quest for Peace'' (1987), ''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi'' (1983) and the Bond films ''Goldfinger'' (1964) and ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' (1969). He also had small acting roles in some films including two Michael Reeves films, ''The Sorcerers'' (1967) and ''Witchfinder General'' (1968).
As a stuntman he specialised in high falls and fight scenes. He doubled for Sean Connery in the film ''Goldfinger'' and for Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood in ''Where Eagles Dare'' (1968). Memorable appearances include his fight with Connery as the Mexican thug Capungo in ''Goldfinger''. The fight ends with the character's electrocution in a bath when a sunlamp is thrown in by Bond, followed by his famous quip "Shocking…Positively shocking". Joint also took part in the fight scene on the top of a cable car in ''Where Eagles Dare'' and performed a jump from one cable car to another doubling for Richard Burton. On television he appeared in ''Doctor Who'', ''Dick Turpin'', ''Return to Treasure Island'', ''Danger Man'', ''The Prisoner'', ''The Avengers'', ''Space: 1999'', ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'', (for which he plunged 430ft into the Reichenbach Falls doubling for Eric Porter) and ''London's Burning''. He also performed a memorable stunt for a Cadbury Milk Tray television commercial in which the hero was seen diving off a cliff into the sea.
Joint was a mentor to younger stuntmen such as Vic Armstrong and the late Rod Woodruff (d.2011). He retired in 1995 and died in 2005 of cancer aged 77.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/9317/alf-joint )〕
