Биография
Born in Prague during the war era, Peter Horak is a filmmaker and legendary stunt professional whose career spans decades of international cinema. After escaping Czechoslovakia in 1968, he defected to Canada and later moved to Los Angeles, where he trained at Paul Stader’s stunt school and began working in Hollywood.
A former Czech national judo champion, Horak combined athletic skill with mechanical expertise, designing and building his own stunt equipment and performing some of the industry’s most dangerous stunts. In 1980, he set a world record with a 120-foot jet-boat jump, surpassing a record established during Live and Let Die and earning a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for 16 years.
