All that build up to fall off ? 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Americhuh lost all interest in him so he had to go to Europe to make some money.

Evel was being interviewed by a British reporter, who was quite insulting. She then said "You Americans, you are all alike." Evel responded "Hey, if it wasn't for us Americans, I'd be jumping for the Germans."

Beautiful movie. I cried. THE BEST WAY TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY IS TO BECOME THEIR FRIEND.

Этот человек должен быть почетным гражданином планеты Земля с правом проживания в любом месте и полным обеспечением страны - местом проживания. Должен получить Номебелевскую премию за хранение планеты , всего живого на ней . Как это Путин, который тоже обязан ему за сохранение его жизни, до сих пор не удосужился встретиться с этим Героем? Стыдно должно быть ему и всем думцам тоже.

Fractured pelvis/broken hand/concussion. His next jump was 5 months later where he successfully jumped 14 buses.

Turned out nice again

Damn fool!

One of the most important documentaries ever made. Stanislav Petrov Literally Saved The World.

Poodle Canoodle !!!! 🐩🚲

Gene has such great stories, of being Evel's bodyguard. He is thankful for the fathering in a way Evel did for him. He comes up with new stories about his travels with him all the time! Gene Sullivan was headed to the big title in boxing. He even saw Joe Frazier at Evel Knievel's funeral (he did, will leave link in comment), because Joe expected to fight him also. A relative talked to George Foreman on a plane, and asked, what happened to Gene, I expected him to be my contender? Gene Sullivan. He was ready to sign a training contract with Rocky Marciano but he died right before he did in a plane crash. Then Gene ran off with Evel Knievel, but HE GOT SAVED at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes luncheon. LIKE REALLY, HE WALKED AWAY FROM A 10 MILLION DOLLAR stunt contract, that HE DID SIGN. ONE OF HIS BIGGEST REGRETS, was watching George train in FL. about a month before you got saved. He felt like the Lord wanted him to reach out to you and give you his testimony, but HE WIMPED OUT. (no one has ever known him as a wimp either! ) We watched George's movie tonight and really enjoyed it. Gene actually ended up finding out WHO his REAL father is the last couple of months. Here is a little bit about that and how in the 1920's he was offered to train as a boxer for a month for 350 thousand dollars back then. It's a fun story. Gene along with boxing, was a stunt man, could have been an NFL star himself, but ran off with Evel Knievel instead. He knew Prescott Sullivan a famous Sports Writer in his day, as seen in the movie THE ODD COUPLE with Walter Matthaue, was not his father. His WW2 Command Pilot mother in the Aviation Hall of Fame, kept the secret. UNTIL ANCESTRY exposed it. Gene's real father? The FAMOUS Ernie Nevers... has a movie about him George Clooney did called LEATHERHEADS. He invented the HOOK SHOT in basketball, Played Professional basketball and baseball, even Pitched to Babe Ruth. Was in the movies too, BUT, was one of the FIRST ever to be inducted into the NFL HALL OF FAME, and holds 3 records that have never been broken. Pop Warner called him the BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER in the first half Century of the 1900's. So did Sports Illustrated. He is in 4 FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMES. His son Gene is in 4 museums, buried Evel Knievel, and the longest touring Motorcycle Jumper in History. Ernie was offered about 320k in today's economy to train to box for one month. Gene? He was ready to sign a contract with the famed ROCKY MARCIANO to turn him into the heavy weight champion of the world, before he died in a plane crash. Gene was heavyweight champ in the Navy and for the State of Ca. Joe Frasier even asked Gene who did Evel Knievel's funeral (you can find that on KZbin) why he never showed up in the ring. So Ernie and Prescott were good friends. Even found a news paper article where they are arm wrestling. They were both good friends, and golfing buddies with John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Joe DiMaggio, Ward Bond, among other famous people who hung out together. Been great fun getting to know about Ernie due to Ancestry. He died in 1974 but everyday, more things come up in the news, on ebay, he is still a sports hero talked about and written about if not every day, at least every week. There is much more to tell.... IT ALL MADE SENSE, when we found ERNIE NEVERS. Gene looks TOTALLY like his son, and had all the same ATHLETIC skill, that his bookworm Sportswriter father had none. Even how we found out with Gene famous sports documentary Emmy award winning son, is very fun. He came over one day and said, DAD will you spit in a tube for me? Knowing it would be highly unlikely he would. Soooo much more to tell but will end here.

Fantastic and he's still with us the great Stanley Baxter

They should've changed their names to "DANGEROUS Angels" after this show !!! ...FFS :/:/:/

🇺🇸👨‍👩‍👧🎙️📽️👩‍🚒👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🚑 "Great entertainment" (We all have our thing)

Such a dramatic glory hound

THAT CHICK WRECKED BIG TIME!

Such a good parody, the real Formby could have sung it.

I BET HE PEGGED THOSE 3 ...😝

Evil was every boys hero in the day

Idiotic

Elvis broke every bone in Evel Knievel’s body

Elvis broke every bone in Evel Knievel’s body.

People are ignorant as hell and gave it all we had just like he's snobby sons of b****** and make him sound off to the Royal public when it's his day and his jump that he's doing in their country he could have made three times the money in America but he did as a favor to the Royal family talk about Evel Knievel sacrifice and you call him bad words God bless you evil Knievel and family

Franks collar .....whoa!

Brilliant comedian loved his picture shows.

Second only to super Dave Osbourne !!!

his voice like an angel, he was really so talented!

3.10 I THINK SHE MEANT IT

It almost seems sacrilegious to say anything negative about E K, but rumor has it that was a notorious drinker, womanizer, and at times quite self diluded. I especially liked how careful he was at times to be politically correct, yet on another occasion he pummeled a reporter with a base ball bat. I think when he realized when he had some kind of power and status that he almost didn't have to appologize anymore for his behavior.

nice one bill..r.i.p. my pld mate

My daddy, voice of angel. Sleep tight, hoping your rocking away to Elvis up there.

Bill, you are legend you know? Such a great voice, please sing it up in heaven!!!

Evel and Frank Gifford where buddies....Evel must have shown Frank how to get plenty of women on the side.

Outstanding ovation ⭐️❤️ I’m 59 and remember well 😁 classic times to have been young 🌈

Boy Sue was pissed

9:30 Was too jarring of a ramp at the entrance of it. Way too blunt 😥

Muhaha

Did the first girl ever find her bike? If that was 1979, it would have been fairly close to Knievel's retirement. I wonder what happened to the Danger Angels?

Yea, 1975. When health insurance was more free market and much more affordable.

I remember watching this actual Don Lane show live !

My Hero.

What a surreal spectacle.

2:21 perverted camera man. 100%.

I was there as a 10 year old and seem to remember the drum majorette dropping the baton a few times and also some guy jumping into a pool of water having been set on fire😂😂. I remember the Wembley scoreboard saying Emerson Lake and Palmer were there and thinking who are they?

Total legend

LMFAO off at those 3 girls.

He got famous for failing....lol. Those girls were clueless...that was some HILARIOUS stuff.

From Butte Montana USA 👍

The cheek of Evel giving advice to the girl who fell off the jump. Evel failed the landing on 99% of his jumps.
