Synopsis

The life of legendary daredevil Robbie "Evel" Knievel is depicted in this biopic directed by John Badham. Before extreme sports became widespread, Knievel performed high-risk motorcycle stunts, leaping over canyons, crates of venomous snakes, and snarling cougars. As he accumulated wealth and world records—and suffered 35 broken bones—his lifestyle reflected a strong appetite for both adventure and indulgence, including a taste for liquor and women.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
