I was telling someone to watch We Are The Champions on Netflix.

I went to IMDB to find the Worlds episode, got the “More Steve Brown suggestions” at the bottom.

Was Steve part of Lone Ranger? What did he do?

Nice. I’m pretty sure it was the part when Hansel (Owen Wilson) pulled out a yo and started doing boingys or something. I’m sure someone knows more or can pull the scene but afaik, it was Steve Brown who was doing the trick

Edit. Didnt read lone ranger part . I tunnel visioned in on zoolander in the pic sorry haha

He taught Tom Wilkinson to do the pocketwatch trick featured several times in the film. On the set he actually taught Arnie Hammer (before it was known that he was pretty much psycho) some yoyo tricks! And he was of course Owen Wilson’s skill/stunt stand-in for the yoyo scene. 🙂

I wish I could find a youtube video of the pocket watch trick from Lone Ranger (2013)!
