The Epic Split — A Defining Piece of Practical Action

Peter played an instrumental role in the development and practical execution of The Epic Split. The celebrated sequence was performed for real and filmed with the trucks travelling in reverse.

It remains one of the projects of which Peter is most proud—a precise combination of preparation, performance and practical filmmaking.

The Unofficial Science
of Die Hard

Peter Pedrero — Stunt Coordinator. The Unofficial Science of Die Hard puts some of the original film’s most iconic stunts under the scientific microscope. From Hans Gruber’s dramatic fall to crashing through windows, walking over broken glass and surviving explosions, the programme explores what would happen if these sequences took place in real life. Combining stunt expertise with scientific experiments, we examine the forces involved, the consequences for the human body and just how closely Hollywood action matches reality. Yippee-ki-yay!
