Best 'Own-Stunts' in a Movie - Blu-ray Forum

Jezza · 06-28-2010, 12:59 PM

So out of all the action movie ever made, which stunts or stunt sequences do you think were the best when performed by the actual actors themselves?

I'll start off by adding the boat chase sequence in Quantum of Solace where both Daniel Craig and Olga Kurylenko had to act, fight and steer the boat all at once, whilst all the gunshot effects were going off. I though that was very impressive.

But what do you think are the most impressive stunts you've seen performed by the actors in a movie?

Anything done by Jackie Chan, he's always fun to watch

Pretty much anything from Thailand..."Ong Bak," "Ong Bak 2," "The Protector," "Born to Fight," "Dynamite Warrior," "Chocolate," "Raging Phoenix," etc.

My personal favorite is probably either "The Protector" (the four-story fifty-man fight is EPIC!) or "Chocolate" (people got hurt making this film!).

+1000 to Jackie Chan. Especially his older stuff.

Clint Eastwood jumping from the bridge onto the school bus in Dirty Harry is pretty impressive (and insane!).

Don't forget Buster Keaton's and Harold Lloyds films!

P@t_Mtl · 06-28-2010, 07:37 PM

Like others mention

Old School = Buster Keaton

New School = Jackie Chan

Some of the stuff these guys would do are just crazy

You just had to end the thread with the first response didn't you?

Zoe Bell is a mad woman, and is fun as hell to watch. I must agree this might be my favorite stunt of the last 20 years.

For old school, I would say Steve McQueen in Junior Bonner riding the bucking broncs, or Bullitt in his Fastback plowing down San Francisco's city streets.

Pretty much everything Jackie Chan has done

Daniel Craig has some cool action scenes in the new Bond movies as well that he did. I was always a fan of Harrison Ford in some of the scenes in the Indiana Jones series when he did some of his own stunts in those

Yep, Chan da man!

Especially his staunts in the movies Ong Bak and The Protector.

The chase scene in Ong Bak is probably the best stunts sequance i have ever seen.

Here is a link for those of you who want to see it. It doesnt spoil the movie if you want to see it later.

Gerrit Graham in Used Cars

The scene where he realizes he was driving a red car and walks backwards across the freeway. If you have seen it, you know what I am talking about.

NO WAY that would ever get tried again. Totally real and Graham had no idea the car got that close to him!

Jezza · 07-02-2010, 05:27 PM

I knew I should have said not to put Jackie Chan, because I was hoping to see which other actors you thought were great. Oh, well.
