The climactic showdown in PTSS is a little trickier than your average double scene. Both professors' faces are clearly visible, so one can't be a stunt double. They physically interact with each other, so there can't be a split screen at work. So how'd they pull it off?
Well, the following freeze frames make it painfully apparent. John Rhys-Davies' face was superimposed on his stunt double's head... and the moment the stunt double starts moving, the effect falls apart.
