favorite stunt

always shakenalways shaken LondonPosts: 6,287MI6 Agent
I suggested (on last film seen thread ) favourite stunt dosent have to be BOND and me old mucker TP thought also
this would be a good thread ,seeing as we all like films,
so I will kick off with
the Aston Martin multi roll in Casino royal , appently this holds the world record for a vehicle to flip/roll
the out come of this stunt would be to a degree unpredictable ,which in my mind makes it even more wow factor
(producer to stunt co-ordinator ) you want to right off WHAT ??
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Still a big fan of Rick Sylvester's ski jump in TSWLM.

    yes that is a great stunt ,that nearly went wrong big time , on the decent ,the stunt man discards his skis
    and one of the skis almost gets caught up in the parachute , if that had happened it would have almost been certain death
    for the stunt man,

    So many fantastic stunts.....
    From Bond.

    The croc escape, as a kid watched this on a movie show. It's what
    Made me nag my big bro to take me to the film.
    Car jump TMWTGG
    Ski jump in SPY
    Freefall pts from Moonraker
    The mountain climbing sequence from FYEO
    Train Sequence from OP
    Loved the pts from TLD ( although it was a dummy pulled out of the land rover )
    Truck driving in LTK
    Bungee jump GE
    Motorbike jump TND
    Surfing DAD
    Free running CR
    Motorbike chase SF

    In fact I've probably left many out but I wanted to list Bond first. {[] :))

    another stunt I like is in the Blues brothers ,when they go to see "The Penguin" and Jake (Belushi) falls down the stairs
    while sitting in a chair , I suppose in stuntmens work probably a simple stunt, but effective and very funny. :)

    The croc escape

    That's my pick. I've never seen anything like it before or since.

    does make you wonder if the director shouts ACTION very loudly, or whisper sit, so as not to startle the crocs

    one croc to his mate ("ere Sid when the bloke in the hat shouts action, you know he is on his way ,you grab his leg ill grab his arm ") ok Fred :))

    I'm sure everyone has read the story as he had to run across about three times to get it.
    and the crocks were waiting, Licking their lips. :))

    just watched that very funny ,did they have a man with a big gun nearby just in case?

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Is the gun for the Crocs or "Ross Kananga" as given the choice of been eaten by three crocs
    or getting shot, I'd go with getting shot. :))

    Like the Old joke, ......
    an escaped gorilla is on a ladies roof, a cop arrives with a big dog. he tells the woman
    " I'm goning to push the gorilla off the roof, when he falls this dog will bite off his B*lls ! "
    then hands her a gun " What's the gun for ?" she asks
    " In case the gorilla pushes me off the roof first, Your gonna shoot that Dog !!" :))

    Wow, I'd never seen those outtakes before. You would really want to nail it properly first time, wouldn't you? You can just imagine the first script read-through:

    Director: "And then Bond runs across the stream by striding across the backs of live crocodiles."
    Stunt co-ordinator: "Excuse me?"
    Director: "The live crocodiles will be like stepping stones for Bond. Got it?"
    Stunt co-ordinator: "Sure. Okay. Bob's quick and not very bright...I'll call him."

    {[] it's still a great stunt. No safety harness etc. Just
    nerves of steel ! :))

    Indeed you would, a very impressive stunt that. And sadly, Ross Kananga died not very long after that. A real-life contender for a Bondian dare-devil if ever there was one... -{

    actually this reminds me about 5 years ago ,we was back in Florda , and on the news channel ,this big croc had swam up this river into a housing estate ,when I say estate ,this place didn't have roads as such but rivers canals waterways ect
    as everybody had boats, anyway they called the Sheriff, who called the state police ,who called the Florida game and fisheries dept , and of course numerous tv stations called WXKB 12 ect , so they collectively decided to shoot this big croc
    it was far to big to lasso, (croc thinks to himself "what do yah mean shoot me I was bloody well here first) 8-)
    so this cop shoots this croc in the back ,the bullet ricochets /bounces off and ends up in the gut of one of the other cops
    standing on the boardwalk, who then begins to roll around on the decking, effing and blinding, in much pain ,so then the paramedics were called (for the wounded cop )and the big croc thought to himself f**k this for a laugh and swam off
    to fight another day ,true story ,im sure agent bondcollectorsweekend has similar tales to tell :)

    in the Wilson /Stiller film version of Starsky and Hutch , Wilson/Hutch. convinces Stiller/Starsky to ram the fleeing speedboat/yacht driven by Vince Vaughan ,by launching Starskys beloved Ford Gran Torino, driven at full pelt down the dock , fly through the air crash into the boat ,and stop VV fro escaping , simple but dangerous stunt (they could drown )
    but timing is off and the red Torino nose dive into the Pacific Ocean ,(just for the record I hate that bit as I really want that car)

    Just a little one ( now where have I heard that before ) :)) but I
    Love in Indy 3, I think it was Vic Armstrong's last filmed stunt.
    His jump from a horse to on top of the tank, that's one hell of a
    Jump. -{

    This is my favorite as well. The guy who owned the Alligator farm actually performed this stunt if I remember correctly? I remember watching the attempts on the dvd special features. He literally almost died at least twice. It was crazy, but such a classic stunt lol.

    I doubt, given modern rules on safety etc, that this could be done today. :))

    Well if we're talking Bond films, Kanaga's run across his crocs' backs is impressive, but I still think some of the greatest stunt work was partially behind the camera.

    Willy Bogner Jr's skiing in OHMSS

    Not only his skiing but his camerawork. Some of the shots he filmed SKIING BACKWARDS. He did some filming for FYEO, too, but the stuff he did for OHMSS is still amazing. Watch the extras on the discs people....

    As a stunt alone, my favourite is the car stunt in TMWTGG. But it was ruined by you know what. Such a tragedy for film-making worldwide.

    On the crocodile stunt, I heard a great tip on QI the other night.
    If you are attacked by a crocodile, offer it your arm. That way
    You still have two legs to run away ! :))
