They got especially famous by the great succes of "Alarm für Cobra 11" in 1996.
Next they made also in 1996 the actionmovie "Der Clown". Since 1998
"Der Clown"
is also
broadcasted as a serie on RTL Televsion. In march 2000 the start was made with broadcasting

German television. It is "Wilde Engel" (Wild Angels). The pilot of this

Team 2" (Alarm for Cobra 11 - The Second Team). More info about this serie elsewhere on this homepage.
To keep up with the level of the stunts around the world Action Concept keeps
good contacts with american stuntteams, who made action-movies as "Terminator" and "Speed".
They also bought a computersystem with which spectacular special effects
can be created. With this for example aids in a stunt can be removed from the
recordings. Action Concept also have their own cameras and digital editing facilities.
Whit this they can record the actionscenes and put them together as an independent film-unit.
By investmens in modern equipment from the USA Action Concept is according to what they say
capable to work on an "international stuntlevel". This can do no other stuntteam in
Germany. A few examples: air-ramps launch stuntmen in the air. Whit the
Ratchet-system they are pulled away out of explosions by a steel rope.
They are also investing in the safety of the stuntmen. With for example
roll-barrs, special protection in cars and special rope-systems there is taken care for
that the stuntmen can do their job as safe as possible.
