The Adge Files – Ross Kananga
















Ross was Roger Moore's stunt double for the iconic croc-hopping scene in Live And Let Die, and he ended up getting 193 stitches in the process. Sadly, he's no longer with us – he survived an attack by 'Satan', one of his pet black leopards, only to die of cardiac arrest at the age of just 32, while spear-fishing in the Everglades. But in this ever-changing world in which we live in, at least one thing remains constant – our admiration for his magnificent ADGE. We like to imagine that those MANLY sidies are still at large in the wilds of Florida today, feeding off UNENDANGERED SPECIES but maybe clogging up the fan of the occasional airboat for shits and giggles. Then emerging from the blades unscathed, because of course they bloody would.
