Non martial artist actors who look awful trying to bust a move

Did they have a double for actor Nicholas Hammand?, in the following fight scene Spider-Man is outclassed by his foe. At least in terms of performing the choreography. The following clips are taken from Spider-Man The Dragon Challenge(1979). Maybe @AlbertV, can I-D that stunt guy in the first clip?

 

The guy in the first clip is Emil Farkas, a Hungarian-born martial arts expert and author. He currently holds a 7th-dan in karate and 4th-dan in both judo and jiujitsu. He co-wrote the original Martial Arts Encyclopedia with John Corcoran. 

Nicholas Hammond's stunt double as Spider-Man is Fred Waugh, known as the co-founder of Stunts Unlimited. His sons are all involved with the film industry and have worked with both stunts and are filmmakers. One of his sons is Scott Waugh, the director of the upcoming Project X-Traction with Jackie Chan and John Cena. His other son, Ric Roman Waugh, directed the recently released Angel Has Fallen.

Thanks for the very informative answer @AlbertV.

Comedian Sinbad, who studied under Billy Blanks, didn't look all that great performing moves in First Kid.

Cecelia Cheung and Yuko Moriyama looked dire under Ailen Sit's direction in Tokyo Raiders. The latter had been more convincing in the two Zeiram films.

No,  I can't tho. 😂😂😂 

The Hoff and his stuntdouble are no match for Avadon.   Come on, I wasn't sold back when i was kid and even as an adult.  I'm still not sold on the Hoff being a match for Loren Jake Donahue Avedon.

Funny, Craig stands there holding his hands awkwardly while his double does all the kicking, who isn't bad!

The Hoff was doubled for some of the more elaborate kicks/movements, who was his double?.

 

 

 

Perhaps Loren Avedon, who once appeared in an episode of Baywatch.

It might have been him?, the guy knew how to throw a screen kick.

Loren had the makings of a martial arts comedy star. I would have loved to see him kick it in a 90s action comedy show.

The closest was a stunt he did on In Living Color when he confronted Damon Wayans in the spoof 48 Hours Again. Go to 2:10 of the clip below.
