Speaking of Joie Chitwood . . .
In the 1977 movie Sorcerer directed by William Freidken, he wanted a car crash. After 7 takes, he was not not happy at all. His Director of Photography took him aside and said he knew a guy who could probably pull off what he wanted. "Get him here." Joie showed up, asked Friedken exactly what he wanted. Friedken told him. Joie searched around the set, picked up some scrap lumber, built a small ramp, then got in the car and preformed the stunt - that is the one you see in the movie.
Sorcerer is a remake of the 1953 movie The Wages Of Fear. Very few people have heard about the movie due to it's release date. That was the same year STAR WARS was released. I highly recommend it.
