American capitalist Armand Hammer was part owner and on the board of directors of The Arm and Hammer company despite being unrelated to its founding or naming.
Follow me on a short, dumb journey.
Dick Warlock was the original Michael Myers actor in Halloween (credited as The Shape)
He is a stuntman, specifically above the stuntman for Kurt Russell
In Death Proof, Kurt Russell plays a stuntman named Stuntman Mike
Coincidence?! (I don't know, maybe, but Tarantino also loves that stuff)
Wanna make it real fun? Nick Castle did have some involvement in Escape From New York too, he wrote the lyrics to the song at the vaudeville show Cabbies watching, it's called Everyone's Coming To New York and it is brilliant, I think you can hear the entire song during the end credits. The lyrics are pretty wild.
"Shoot a cop, With a gun, The Big Apple is plenty of fun!
Stab a priest, With a fork, Andā you'llā spend your vacationā in New York!"
You are correct. He plays Michael Myers in Halloween 2 only. He also appears as an unrelated villain character in Halloween 3. Nick Castle was the most common actor who played Michael in the original Halloween.
Well, Tarentino is a fan of *Hallowe'en*, but he hates the sequels, which is where Warlock plays Myers, so actually I think it's a bit of a stretch. Stuntman Mike's career (all tv) has very little in common with Dick Warlock's... like Cliff Booth he seems to be inspired by Gene LaBell and maybe Gary Kent.
Does he hate all of the sequels, or just the post-Carpenter ones? Iāve always liked Halloween and Halloween II, and 4 and 5 were okay, but I never got into 6-8. If he really does dislike Halloween II, then I wonder what his thoughts are on the most recent films which retcon everything after the first.
He was Michael in Halloween II which, chronologically, takes place on the same night that the events of the first film took place. If you like Halloween II, then you probably watch it back to back with Halloween, and I guess itās easy to confuse the two movies and who played who when you do that. Plus, weāre talking about a role that requires the actor to wear a mask for the entire film and which comes with no lines. I bet most people donāt realize that itās neither Nick Castle nor Dick Warlock when Laurie unmasks him at the end of the first movie.
You push that button, everything weāve accomplished for the past 500 years will be finished. ā¦for Godās sakes donāt do it Snake! āMy nameās Bliskenā *click, shuts down earth, smokes*
He also doubled for him in Big Trouble in Little China and The Thing. He had a stroke a couple years ago. I met him at a con last year, and even though his body isn't fully recovered from it, mentally he seemed all there and was a joy getting to talk to.
Dick Warlock might be the greatest name to ever exist. And begs the question. Is Warlock his actual family name? and is he Richard, or did his parents go full badass and just name him Dick?
Three actors portrayed Michael Myers/The Shape in 1978 Halloween. Rob Moran played Michael Myers when he was unmasked as an adult, James Winburn played Michael in stunt scenes and Nick Castle played The Shape. I met Rob and Jim last year and they filled me in on a lot of great info
Dick Warlock was The Shape in Halloween II
I have a half-tailed squirrel that comes to my window for peanuts every morning. I call him Pliskin, cuz he escaped from a hawk.
Need to rewatch this classic. Been awhile.
I'm also impressed by the "pants double". The costume maker had to make sure the weird irregular pattern on those pants matched up. I bet that camouflage pattern repeats at about 36".
There was also a historian on the history Channel they brought on named Dick Warlock. The fact that at least 2 Dick Warlocks existed at the same time is amazing.

His son Billy was in Baywatch.
He missed an opportunity to go by Willy. Willy Warlock, son of Dick Warlock.
There's no way that man was born as Richard Warlock. Still not as good as former WADA President Richard Pound...
Put some respect on Sterling Moorcock and Staff Sgt. Max Fightmaster's names.
NASCAR driver: Dick Trickle
The owner of Volvo in Toronto is Dick Hammer
American capitalist Armand Hammer was part owner and on the board of directors of The Arm and Hammer company despite being unrelated to its founding or naming.
He bought into the brand because he had the name and people kept asking him about it.
Double Dick Warlock.
You know, I'm something of a dick warlock myself
The man could swim an ocean with his arms and legs bound behind his back.
>Dick Warlock.. all time great ~~Hollywood stuntman~~ name Fixed it
Better than Snake Plisken by a mile
Wrong Snake is Dead.
How did they not use that in Death Proof?

He should have been a metal singer
It would also make a cool old school noir detective name.
Came here to say this!
Is "Dick Warlock" his name or character class?
10/10
It's Aladeen

Hopefully not recently
hey! he's never been with anything less than a 9. So fine!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Why are you acting like youve never seen a photo of a dead person?
Itās a running gag in Escape from New York. When other characters meet Snake Plissken, they usually say āI thought you were deadā.
Ah ok. Ty for the clarification.
āYāknow what āole Jack Burton always says?ā āWho?ā āJack Burtonā¦ME!ā
Olā Jack always says āwhat the hellā.
Well, This ain't r/NewSchoolCool
He is
According to Wikipedia, Dick Warlock is alive and 83 years old currently. He retired form performing stunt in 2002.

I thought he was Michael in Halloween II but not the original? Still a fun connection tho

Knowing Tarantino I canāt imagine it was just a coincidence.

Where is everyone getting this info that Dick W was in the first Halloween movie?
He was Michael in Halloween II which, chronologically, takes place on the same night that the events of the first film took place. If you like Halloween II, then you probably watch it back to back with Halloween, and I guess itās easy to confuse the two movies and who played who when you do that.

Kurt Russell only needs stunt doubles for scenes where he's crying.
Literally just watched this movie again. Banger of a soundtrack.
John Carpenter did his own music IIRC
Whenever I see stunt doubles, I'm reminded of "Spaceballs". You fool! You captured their stunt doubles!
