Who We Are
OLIVER JUHRS
Stuntman| Stuntcoordinator | Fightchoreographer
„As a kid, I always wanted to be a stuntman and doing fight choreography!
And thats what I do now.
For more then 20 years.
In my youth I was fascinated by Jackie Chan, Jean Claude van Damme and Brue Lee’s films. Back then, I couldn’t wait to go to the video rental shops after school, which were mushrooming after the wall fell in 1989, to lend the next tape.
Today I can say that I worked as a fight choreographer for Lana Wachowski (“Sense8”), Gore Verbinski (“A Cure for Wellness”), as a stuntman for George Clooney (“Monuments Men”), Tom Tykwer (“Cloud Atlas „ , “Babylon Berlin”), Quentin Tarantino (“ Inglorious Basterds „) or as a stunt coordinator for the Netflix series“ DARK „, among others. I was doubling Til Schweiger („3 Musketeers in 3 D“), Mathias Schweighöfer („Zweiohrküken“), Ben Foster („Pandorum“), Leland Orser („Berlin Station“) and many more.
In the last 10 years I was happy to have worked and studied with different fight choreographers like Michael Bornhütter („Pandorum“), Nick Powel („Three Musketeers in 3 D“), Roman Spacil („The Musketeers“ TV Series) or Laurent Demianoff („Gunpowder Milkshake“). While working with different fight choreographers, directors and actors I got to know different ways of doing moviefighting.
MIKE MÖLLER
Stuntman | Stuntcoordinator | Fightchoreographer
My professional stuntman career began in 2000 when a dream
came true and I had the chance to work with my idol Donnie Yen
for the German martial arts show “Puma”. After that I worked for
many national and international directors and stunt coordinators.
In 2003 I was nominated for the Taurus World Stunt Award in the BEST FIGHT category for the Steven Seagal film “Half Past Dead”.
In 2012 I released my first independent martial arts film “Urban Fighter” (aka “Street Gangs”) and won the award for BEST ACTION FILM at the Movieville International Film Festival.
In the same year I starred alongside Fred Williamson and Lorenzo Lamas in the action film “Atomic Eden”.
My second independent martial arts film, “One Million K (l) icks”, followed in 2015. “Ultimate Justice”, my third self-produced film, was released in
2016, in which Mark Dacascos and Matthias Hues also starred.
Till today I am bussy working as a fight choreographer, stuntman and coach.
If you want to become a good Movie Fighter then always keep your mind and body in good shape.
Train different martial arts and
find your own unique style.
