7 Stunt Falls Used Over And Over In Movies And TV Shows | Movies Insider
There are no retired stunt people without lifelong injuries. These people sacrifice their bodies to make stars look good and do it for not a lot of pay and for very little recognition. I was always in awe of the list of stunt people in James Bond movies. Thanks for making action movies great!
They get paid plenty my friend.
they do get serious injuries sometimes
For the pay
@@evenkeel6131 we get paid decent definitely not as much as you think.
@@geza1014 It's been a handful years since I've been on a movie set (I moved to television) but the last one I was on the stunt men got $950/day as their daily rate plus $200 and up per stunt depending on what it was. If I remember correctly, simple falls were $200, stair falls were $350 and falls over a certain height (I can't remember the increments) were $450 and up depending on how high. Per take. If the simple fall took three takes to get, that was $600 on top of their daily rate of $950. That's damned good pay. Not suggesting for a second that it isn't earned.
Hats off to the camera guy jumping from the roof next to the stunt man. 📸
Yeah, I noticed that too! Like wow!
Seriously!!!
Absolutely. Although he could also be a stuntman himself, just with the job of holding the camera this time. He looked very controlled, in any case!
"I would describe stair falls, for me, fun and addictive, but super dangerous." i cant-
I am in awe of every stuntman/woman out there. I've always had an extreme amount of admiration towards them. They are superhuman!
Same
Quentin Tarantino do too, enough that he made one of his favorite stuntwomen to play the main protagonist on one of his movies.
I have tremendous respect for the stunt industry
Thanks
they're the real heros of action movies.
That precision window Jump in Bourne Ultimatum was incredible.
then you should watch Jackie Chan's movies from the 80s (Police Story 1 and 2, Dragons Forever, Winners and Sinners, Heart of the Dragon, etc) cause he's my favorite actor in the entire history of cinema, and he's been doing these things 40 years ago... although, truth being told some of the dangerous stunts he's learned from Buster Keaton
i have nothing but the utmost respect for these stunt performers/body double. Their work often got underrated/underappreciated but without them, the movie WON'T work
To all the stunt people out there.... U are what makes these TV and movies work. U put your body's on the line to entertain us in way no other people can 👍 thank u
4:43 that cameraman have balls of titanium to belive on that rope
And look sexy while doing it.
I was about to write about the same thing but I saw your comment !! 😂
or unconsciousness, which is the same thing.... It's also why I will never, ever, EVER do parachute jumping. Trusting blindly into ropes to save you from a few km high jump is utter unconsciousness
what movie is that clip from?
@@ktushar36maybe jason bourne
That assassins creed stunt has convinced me to watch the movie just to see that. Lmao
Not worth it.
@@infaqkhan2222 Oh come on, it was all right.
@@Fenris30 bruh. They picked the story from the end with insanely poor cgi, performances story and cinematography etc. Assassin's creed is a game with potential of spawning a whole franchise of movies with multiple realities. Assassin's creed has never been famous for time travel etc. They should've stayed honest to the games.
Oscar's need a stunt category
Saturn Awards
@@DOI_ARTS - these need to be televised! More exciting than Oscars.
I’m a massage therapist and I massage some of the biggest stud performers in New York City. I massage the girl who is the double in the matrix for Trinity I am massage one of the guys who is the double for Bruce Willis in his last action movie… And let me tell you those are some severely underpaid underappreciated people. I have this one guy who came to see me one day he was in that harness that Yanks you back when there’s a big explosion scene to make it mimic like you’re flying away from the explosion… Yeah that rig nearly broke his hips his right leg and his back I was working on him for three days straight trying to get him out of pain. He also had a very severe injury on his lower left leg-I believe from an explosion on a movie set. There are the real heroes that we should be touting when we watch the stupid Marvel movies 🤘🏿
Thank you for sharing! More people should know this
I got something stiff that needs massaging
The Assassin’s Creed fall is incredible, and then the way they crammed so much vfx around this incredible physical feat kind of takes away from it and makes it sort of seem like they just did the whole thing in CG anyway. Kind of a shame when that happens
most modern movies look live video-games
definitely just a marketing tactic for sure
I really admire and salute all the stuntman/woman for their hardwork to give us a worth, quality movies despite of all the injuries they got.
& that's how they make us fools and made millions of USD :(
This is why I have so much respect for the WWE/F (haven't watched since teens lol) they go through this every weekend + practice and only get 1 shot to make it work or else injury.
Come now. This isn't a thing, in my opinion. Opinion !!
And they all have lots of injuries. Fake wrestling, real injuries.
indeed. hence why i got problem when ppl calling pro wrestling as "fake". Its not. Its staged, yes, but injury hazard are real
7:15 I understand they are just doing this to make the movie dramatic but this breaks the laws of physics. The force of a bullet impact physically cannot be greater than the recoil on the shooter, infact it will be less due to drag, so the shooter should also be pulled back on a wire.
It is for movies so it need to be more dramatic than reality. Same with grenade explosion. In the movies the grenade usually make a big fireball just for the sake of dramatization.
I'm trying all of this at home! 🤣🤣🤣👊💪
applaude the cameraman doing everything to get the best shot👏👏
Awesome and awesome I love this behind scenes of my favorite movies
This video was sponsored in part by Home Depot cardboard box department.....only teasing..!! I am 70 and I was raised watching Westerns and I always liked watching the shoot-outs where a bad guy is shot on the roof or second floor balcony and watch them crash through the railing but make a perfect flip onto their back right before hitting the ground. Those dead men sure had some good balance...!!
Got to appreciate these stuntmen and women. I thought it's all CGI 👏👏👏
Hold my beer - Jackie Chan 😅😅😅
Stuntwomen and Stuntmen rock 🙌
they should be an award like oscar
As an x-ray technician I only see all the broken bones. It might be interesting to work in a clinic near Hollywood haha.
Okay but srsly, I don't think stunt men and women get enough recognition, they do incredible and really important work!
Makes you think about pre-CGI too. Even tougher
Incredible! because of their hard work action movie stunts seems so convincing..
How the Oscars don’t recognize their work beats me
Banger video
3:26 SWANTON BOMB
I can attest to falling correctly. I took an accidental fall off a two story roof. I basically did a paratrooper roll and came out unscathed.
It depends on the scene nowadays they have stunt people but a lot of that is done with computer generated imagery because it avoids a lot of liability insurance requirements when you with stunt performers because if they get injured the recovery periods are extremely lengthy and these people have to have income while they're laid up on the hospital recuperating
The fall at 9:42 gives me chills
Super Documentation.- I love these ones
Props for showing the killer church shotgun explosion scene for like 1 second.
So much time and energy
Thank you stunt people prayer contribution to making movies awesome, even to this day nothing beats the real thing
More on stunt performers, please.
Great video!💯
the camera man is also a stunt man at 4:46
which movie is that clip from?
flat back bump like in wrestling
Would love to see a piece on stunt cinematography. Connected with Storror Parkour on a project several years ago, and our production team was blown away not only by their stunts but also by the composition of their cinemagraphy. Everyone should keep in mind that for many of these stunts, there's another person performing the same stunt along with the stunt actor but while also holding a camera.
when Jackie Chan's stuntmen crew were doing these things 40 years ago these guys didn't even know what parkour is. But still, good clip
Awesome stuff guys.
You’ve got to be a tad crazy to do this, but nevertheless they keep us all entertained.
'인사이더'는 언제나 흥미롭고, 놀랄 만한 재미있는 이야기가 가득하네요. 영화를 위해 노력하는 많은 분들에게 경의를 표합니다. :)
I wish i could read and understand this😭
@@adelegowein9992 ‘Insider’ is always interesting and full of surprising and amusing stories. A tribute to the many people who work hard for the film. :)

I genuinely enjoyed this video, very educative
Every time I see a crazy move in the movie, I just feel extremely painful/scared for the stunt man/woman. I always think, what makes people get into this profession? I can't imagine what the actual rewards are for them to take such high risks. If the pay is not crazy high and recognition is limited, is this a career of passion?
Very interesting. Love this
Great Job Well Done 👍
There must be more stunt actors than normal actors working these days.
Salute to the unsung heros!
I wonder if there is a way to improve upon this. Great video.
125 foot high fall is plenty high and requires a skilled performer to do safely. Kudos to Damien Walters.
However, there have been much higher free falls into airbags. A.J. Bakunus did 220+ feet from a Helicopter in the movie Hooper. Dar Robinson has done 320+ feet. (not for a movie... but still) He also did over a thousand feet from the CN Tower in Toronto... with a parachute though. And once on a descender rig. I have a couple of buddies in the biz who have done over 200 feet free falls into airbags. I have done 60 feet... and that was high enough!! Anything over that is crazy high.
Nowadays for most high falls they will use descender rigs or decelerators. Very often these don't look realistic though. There is something about an untethered free fall into an airbag that is hard to duplicate.
I believe Sean Connery did a 90 foot fall into a Box Rig on The Man Who Would Be King.
Stunt performers do some amazing things.
Fun fact: The athlete in that casino royale clip is actually Sebastien Foucan, founder of parkour!
If you want a great high fall, check out Bob Brown`s 187ft fall while on fire after crashing through a window. Sadly a dying art as most falls now are done with Decelerators.
This is amazing.
Very interesting video! Thank you for it! 🔥
Beautiful work
"Who's the unknown stunt man who made Eastwood look so fine....."
(Fallguy lyrics)
Impressive. Very nice
Very interesting. Thank you.
Seems like a pretty cool job
If you like injuries and other people taking credit for your work.
I was always wonder how Tom Cruise did that jump from Mission Impossible: Fallout
the camera man that just did a canon ball of the roof lol
That's i call real leap of faith
Interesting!
Awesome such amazing
Awesome
Oh yes the classic blow back when getting shot, lol
😱 Thank u stunt ppl... 😌🙏🏼
Yea
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tuck and roll baby, tuck and roll 👍
ITZ AH BAHHHM ! 1:14 lol
Cameran the best ever
I fell out of a tree from 15 feet up, and I relaxed as I fell and hit the ground in the same way as these stunt people, and was totally fine. Missed every branch on the way down too.
Does the Oscars have a Category for Stunt Actors? If so , the Deserve the Highest Award
No, they do not
I LIKE THIS VIDEO
Love this!! 💥💥
Thanks Corey
Seriously the stunt actors are way more important to me than the face actors
won't say that-they can't act.which is why i watch movies
I think i got injured just after watching this video:)
Cool
Martial art expert is a great line for people that don't know enough to tell. When I first got into martial arts, if it said someone was the greatest martial artist of all time, I would be like, "oh, okay, I guess they are."
When I was at high school , i was playing Trazan from a 🌳 tree branch from a slide during break which must at 10 feet height. The branch which we were using had worn out, it was my bad day the branch broke I fell into gutter passage below land me on my buttock the impact was so hard my friend had to pull me out of gutter remove all the branch covered on me , I had lie straight for some minutes till break bell 🔔 rang. I couldn't walk properly my friends carried me on their shoulder till the class room couldn't tell at home would even get more beating 🙃 for nothing . Afterwards couldn't take part in any sports event for longer distance after certain time the muscles used to cramped up or get jammed........
I had always imagination for stunts afterwards I used to watch CZcams and other videos thanks to Jackie Chan, Tony jaa, Damien Walter's, Cyril Raphelie, David Belle.
Judo moves, how to break falls Is quite effective here
Brought to you by The Home Depot😂 I work there.
This is cooler than the acting part.
Who wants to be an actor ?
Imagine if Bollywood or Nollywood got a hold of this technology 😂.
Bollywood would squeeze in a 2 min dance segment during their guys 2 storey building jump
Can you do a video about stunt camera operators. Like that guy in the bts clip from Bourne Ultimatum?
What is that movie with the Roof to roof stunt with the cameraman?
And that's why Tom Cruise is so amazing and incredible because he does his OWN CRAZY stunts!!!
More than 100 year ago, Charly Chaplin has been falling effortlessly in movies without rope ... How d heck did he do that...
If its anything like Buster Keaton, the answer is "many, many injuries"
❤❤❤❤
👍👍👍
Whats the movie shown at 1:17 ??!!
Some of the falls are similar to pro wrestling bumps
Front fall is kinda like a face bump
Back fall is kinda a back bump
Pay raise for stunts folks
This techniques should be teach before applying for a job!!!!!!!!🤫
2:50 blue screen
