Trivia
Hyla's first film stunt was in Deadly Hero (1975) where she had to dodge a speeding car by leaping over its hood just before the car crashed into a newsstand and flipped over. The risky shot had to be done in a single take. A still-photo of that stunt was widely published in the media with one article calling Hyla the most gutsy stunt woman in the world.
