Australialainen stunttimies Bradley James Allan on kuollut 48-vuotiaana. Allan oli ainut valkoihoinen Jackie Chanin stunttitiimin jäsen, näyttelijä, stunttimies sekä stunttikoordinoija.
Allan toimi Marvelin tulevan Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsin stunttikoordinoijana sekä second unit -ohjaajana.
Allanin töihin kuuluivat myös muun muassa Solo: A Star Wars Story, Wonder Woman, Riddickin aikakirjat, Gorheous, Hellboy 2: Kultainen armeija, Rush Hour 2, Ninja Assassin, Avatar, Kick-Ass, Pacific Rim ja lukemattomat muut blockbuster-elokuvat.
Allan tapasi Chanin vuonna 1997 Mr. Nice Guy -elokuvan kuvauksissa. Taistelulajimestareista tuli tämän jälkeen erottamattomat kaverukset.
Lepää rauhassa, Brad.

I’m devastated that the great Brad Allan has left us far too young. He was simply one of the best action directors & designers out there. I was lucky enough to work with him twice (on Scott Pilgrim & The World’s End), and call him a friend. I have more to say about this genius…

Brad Allan’s action design work was legendary, what a loss. So many incredible fight scenes, but The Beehive brawl in The World’s End has always been one of my favourites – a major factor in why it’s secretly my favourite Cornetto Trilogy film. Raise a glass 🍻👊🏻🐝 pic.twitter.com/P1O8gxbgHr

A sad RIP to the super-talented Brad Allan. We brought him on on @edgarwright’s recommendation as the stunt coordinator on SOLO. He was a creative master of fight choreography — helped us design Han and Chewie’s fight in the pit and the Enfys Nest train fight and so much more. pic.twitter.com/W0Lb2VIKD3

This is devastating. Brad Allan is easily one of the all time greats. https://t.co/ZVPKe7sUQX
