I was so clueless as a kid. Around the time they were hyping the Grand Canyon thing, there was a documentary on TV about him and it ended with him about to do the jump across the canyon. But the film cut away and didn't show it. I was so bummed that they almost showed it and didn't.

For years I thought it was just a promo shot to build excitement about the real jump coming up. But I just looked it up and it's the end of a George Hamilton movie where he plays Evel. A movie!

I don't know how to embed the exact movie scene, so here's a link.
