Ok, so I get using a real chainsaw. But why not remove the chain or teeth? Or replace the teeth with something a little less... Decapitatey?

Reaction gif with the man that does all his own stunts... nice!

How do you not check first when you want to stab someone with a fake knife?
PiffTheMagicDildo
The chainsaw one... you can't be decapitated by a chainsaw flying through the air. So he wasn't "almost decapitated"

Zoe Bell is an absolute bamf, I'd love to get smashed with her and jump off stuff.

#15 - so did they film the stunt thrice or did Cameron operate all three cameras at the same time, driving two vehicles in the process?
MischievousMagpie
Either way if I was Cameron I would have been firing a few pussy ass camera man that day
aTokenOfMyExtreme
Yes
bingtittletittlebong
He also was flying the helicopter.
WannabeHobo
Vincent Chase also did his own stunt once.
TastefulMemesOnly
What happened with the merry go round?
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
I don't think anything bad happened. He just can't believe that he let the old man actually crawl under a legit Merry-Go-Round.
likehelly
yeah, I saw these on cracked, too

My favorite stunt goes to Jackie Chan's helicopter ladder ride from Supercop
ThePedrodactyl
Not in this list : Jackie Chan. Because this list would have been all Jackie Chan.

Also, filming The French Connection which was done in NYC without permits and notifying anyone from the city. They even crashed a car 1/2
SilentScreamsX
His autobiography is awesome. It starts out with him preparing to do a stunt and remembering his old master, then he tells the whole story.

#1 Those trucks are not going 60MPH. It's almost like some of these are bullshit.

Tom Cruise actual does quite a lot of his own stunts
IvorJBiggun
superwasabi
meh
TheNax
Don't really believe the first one. he can easily keep the door open, and it stays open after he leaves the truck. 60mph? air pressure isbig

#15 - James cameron is apparently an amazing cameraman - he got 7 different angles all by himself.

Fun fact, I wanna be a pilot....Not a commercial pilot, with 100s of lives on my hands, but a small private plane kinda thing...
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
Say whatever you want about Tom Cruise, but he's basically willing to die to get amazing looking stunt shots.
Attaroo
Well, he believes that as a Thetan his consciousness will be born again into new flesh along the Bridge to Total Freedom.
qqkikilicious
Stunmen. They put the act in action movies.
Taresz
Wait a minute! Doesn't a button on a chainsaw have to be pressed at all times for it to work??
Drathe
#4 Knowing how Hitchcock normally treated actors, I have no doubt he only said that after some major public backlash.
jonbristow
why did you cut the source cracked.com from every pic?
tirisal2
could you please go and check the site and confirm whether the source images had cracked.com already or not ? BTW these are GIFs.
jonbristow
lol, I made some of these for cracked. there are GIF contests too.
spakkii
Right. Let's put the real knife next to the collapsable knife. Brilliant idea. The BEST idea.
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
The knife is only 2 years old and it's YUGE, way better than the ones you get in Mexico.
awexdakidd
Right!? Seems like a complete cock up to me. Idiots.
Brewsx
The director says, "Oh yea, by the way, make sure you put on that Kevlar vest." *wink
kubi
If I was in a position where I had a collapsable knife for a stabbing scene, I'd be testing that knife before every take.
Pominator91
Reminds me of the theatre mission "curtain call" in hitman blood money
spychik
That! I was thinking the same thing !
receivedko
Im not sure i believe that. Why would he be wearing real kevlar? And kevlar cant stop knives ive heard..
Icollectpuns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz3YE2NkON4 Stab vest
Omez
probably a stab vest. they are also made out kevlar.
faceofpoopy
I'm guessing any protection vest would make it at least harder to pierce and by that time the actor has time to realize it's not collapsing?
CaptainWildBillKelso
I guess Brandon Lee should have been wearing one of those
sabedroid
So many movies owe their success to the stunts teams. Incidentally, they've been trying to get an Oscar category to recognize stunt work
TheClayKnight
They'd have to give Jackie chan a lifetime achievement award or something
thegriffin88
The Buster Keaton awards! That's what we should call them!
UnluckyLunkhead
The studios don't want it as it would acknowledge that there's fakery involved.
vanella
I don't think they want to give away the real stunts vs the CGI :)

I've never paid attention to the Oscars but I am legitimately disappointed in now knowing such a category does not already exist.
Kamnum
Maybe that's a bad idea. Imagine people competing for the most dangerous stunt. I am not saying that some of them don't deserve and a oscar.
SquidJesus
Exactly. Sure, it's cool that they pulled it off and everything, but shit's still wack yo.
MasterDefenestrator
Taurus Awards. By Stuntmen, for Stuntmen, every year (and yes, Jackie Chan has a Lifetime Achievement award from them since 2002).
ProphetTenebrae
Was that just to stop him hogging all the awards?
sabedroid
...and I never thought about it before someone pointed it out but stuntwomen often have costumes with no way to add protective padding :-O
Ryang256
They need it. I mean the have Oscar categories for so many other achievements.
vanella
...weirdly not for "casting director" which is a big part of the movie, I mean cast the wrong person and the movie is shit....
Olec
I imagine they don't have a category because putting stunt people into competition with each other is a dangerous incentive (1/2).
Olec
Which is why they also don't tend to give oscars for actors who would be generally willing to fuck themselves up for a role, like DeCaprio.
zacramenta
But why did they give three awards to Daniel Day Lewis then?
Olec
Mainly because he's a fucking fantastic actor and his performance speaks for itself, even if you take away dangerous scenes in his movies.
TheSwedishCryptid
I guess the reasoning is that if they do that. People try attempt deadly and risky stuns for only the sake of winning that oscar.
MrDeadsr
That's the exact reason
LurkerBee
So important; there is such little recognition, even for actors who do their own stunts.
yeahSeriously
Oh, those poor Millionairs..
LurkerBee
The only reason I can see not to have this category is to prevent people from pushing the envelope of safety in practical effects...
LurkerBee
and avoid sympathy for people dying on the job.
StormheartKing
Wow, yeah, never thought about that.
LurkerBee
Yah, Deathproof isn't a documentary... but there are a lot of ballsy folks out there.
Zaayl
True, but you also dont want a oscar hungry producer coming up with dangerous stunts just for a award.
thelittlemaninthecorner
Part 2 please
jonbristow
cracked.com
myotherusernameismyotherusername
You'll have to wait until Cracked.com makes a part 2, since that's where op stole them from.
tirisal2
Wow.... In the age of piracy, when did sharing become stealing ? You really think i am doing this for imgur points, dont you?
myotherusernameismyotherusername
You went out of your way to crop the watermarks out.
IcyLucario
Well yeah that's what everyone does, no one makes a post and says "I want this is die in usersub, or get no more than 6 points."
tirisal2
Yeah right, its sure a pride moment for me when i show these points with my username to my wife and my employer... Great
VonShnitzel
You posted a bunch of other peoples' work without giving any credit whatsoever and gave no impression that this wasn't yours, so yeah.
myotherusernameismyotherusername
Not just not giving credit, those images had the Cracked watermark, he had to go out of his way to crop them out.
VonShnitzel
As cunt-y as OP is being, they didn't go that far. The gifs are stolen, but it's one of the rare situations where Cracked didn't slap 1/2
StormheartKing
The plane stunt was great, but I still think T Cruise climbing and performing stunts on the Burj Khalifa is his most impressive.
ImperatorWesticles
They claim that the knife to the eye stunt in MI2 was real and used a metal cable attached to the hilt of the dagger
avspook
Talked to the pilot filming - the director had head in hands with how close the blades were too TC's head
sojlewy
You're talking about John Woo who directed MI2. He said that he couldn't watch when TC was climbing the mountain and turned around.
EvolvedLurker
Woah, Tom Cruise and Mia Khalifa!? Sauce! Lol
tigerbearguy
Oooh swing and a miss
waffleincubator
You should have used a stunt double for that joke dude. Critical fail
EvolvedLurker
I know. I panicked trying to come up with something witty before anyone else. Sigh.
waffleincubator
Nobody remembers a coward tho!
EvolvedLurker
Lesson learned. The internet is no place to show weakness of any kind.
