"So to recap—that's Superman, James Bond and Indiana Jones. Almost every action hero you watched growing up was actually just Vic Armstrong, punching guys, taking hits and trying to hide his face from the camera."
―From Cracked's "7 Artists Who Secretly Made Your Favorite Movies" by David Christopher Bell[src]

Victor Monroe Armstrong, better known as Vic Armstrong, performed some of Harrison Ford's stunts in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, as well as the Indiana Jones films.
