    I always thought McQueens good friend Bud Ekins did the famous motorcycle jump over the fence

    To be honest, l can't say whether he did or not.......... a number male stars did their own stunts, Burt Reynolds did them in Deliverance. He said later on in years, that his back was never the same.

    On the right is James Coburn, maybe that's Charles Bronson back middle but I dont think so. Definitely no Dickie Attenborough

    Coburn and McQueen were great friends and Ferraristi - I have many books and records on their cars - James Garner also. Must have been great fun making the Great Escape and the Magnificent Seven as most of them were mates

    Screenshot_20250828_103623_Pinterest(1).jpg 1966 Coburn outside his house in LA with his 250 Lusso (L) and his 250 California Spyder (R). The California was subsequently purchased by annoying ginger Chris Evans
