About
Stunts Unlimited
Stunts Unlimited was founded in 1970 in Los Angeles by Hal Needham, Ronnie Rondell Jr. and Glenn Wilder to pool resources and standardise rigging across the working stunt-performer pool. Membership is by-invitation and peer-elected, with a strong emphasis on documented work history and active credits.
The collective’s membership has overlapped for decades with the Stuntmen’s Association of Motion Pictures (the older 1961 group) but the two organisations are separate and have evolved different working cultures. Stunts Unlimited’s mid-century founders led much of the cycle of vehicle-stunt feature work that Needham later directed himself (Smokey and the Bandit, The Cannonball Run, Hooper).
Active members coordinate and perform across studio tentpoles and independent features. The group maintains its own internal training-and-mentor system and acts as a casting source for productions that contact the office directly.
