This mid-1970s Australian TV series was later edited into a ninety minute compilation documentary which played on television and was released on home video on VHS in Australia during the late 1980s. This doco has been released on DVD and is available to view via streaming services. The original television series though, unlike others, has never been released on DVD or Blu-Ray nor previously on tape on home video.
According to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, this was a ''mid-1970's TV series, consisting of 13 episodes of 25 mins and starring Australian stuntman Grant Page. The series follows Grant as he travels around Australia and the world meeting other stuntmen and stunt-women. Grant Page performs just about every type of stunt for this series: car crashes, car hits and transfers, building climbing, fire gags, rope slides & being attacked by a big cat !''.
A 2016 interview with Grant Page by 'The Sydney Morning Herald' states: "-'I very foolishly agreed to have a fight with a leopard in Africa. Leopards have a nasty streak that I didn't know about'. Filming the TV series 'Dangerfreaks' in the 1970s, Page hurled the big cat away but it came back just as fast. 'All I could see was the jaw with the mouth open and the ten talons on each side. That was the start of what was supposed to be a ten-minute fight that went for three hours trying to get this leopard back in its cage.' The only damage for the former physical education teacher and army commando was to his trendy '70s outfit. 'I had a brand new denim suit. Chewed the shoulder pads right out of it.'.''
This mid-1970s Australian television series was comprised of thirteen episodes each running about twenty-five minutes long.
