Vic’s involvement with the Indiana Jones series spans from the start. He first served as a stunt double for Harrison Ford on Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), again doubling for Ford and also acting as Stunt Arranger on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), and progressing to Stunt Coordinator on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). His abilities were noted by the chronicle’s director, Steven Spielberg “What Vic means to me, and to many of my contemporaries, is his capacity to do the impossible. He can make the wildly improbable seem totally credible. He can perform amazing feats, as well as planning them for other people to do safely.”. As the, then, third instalment in the Indy series, Vic had since moved solely into Coordinating stunts rather than performing them, but came ‘out of retirement’ to double for Ford in The Last Crusade. The famed leap onto the tank exists as a stunt that represents the franchise for many.
