Peter
choreographed the cliff-top swordfight in'Princess Bride' - considered one
of the finest film fights of recent years...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Three
Carry On films, more appearances in the original Star Wars films than the main
cast, a Muppet movie, a Tarzan film, Dracula films with the great Christopher
Lee, and a turn on a windmill for a Solvite advert. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
list of Peter's achievements is endless. So, if you've ever wanted to learn
how to use a lightsabre, then try learning from the original Jedi Master; the
one who instructed Luke Skywalker. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
And
Darth Vader. And Obi Wan.
