As everybody knows, filmmakers often employ stuntmen/women to do the dangerous scenes in movies instead of the actors. Many times the stuntmen look so much like the actors and the direction is done so carefully that you never notice the stuntman. But sometimes due to sloppy direction and a non-similar stuntman, one can easily spot them.
So this thread is to list movies/scenes in which you were able to spot the stuntman while watching the movie. Here are mine:
* Terminator 2 - Bike jump scene
* Tango & Cash - the bomb explosion scene inside the dirty cop's house
* Die Hard 1 - pretty much every fight scene

BTTF II
Clock tower hoverboard crash. I read a piece by the female stuntperson, said she nearly died & her footage is kept in the film. First she bonks into a prop pillar on the building, then crashes through the glass & falls straight to the ground. She says had she landed on her back, her head would've split open like an egg.
Oddly, she supposes she can appreciate their single take remained in the film, she wouldn't have wanted her presence on the cutting room floor.
And yes, her ordeal is entirely visible to the discerning viewer.

Yeah, that's brutal looking, and something I never noticed for years.

Speaking of T2, kinda obvious it's not Robert Patrick at times when him and Arnie are going at it in the factory.

before I start.... I typed ob[vious...] and it automatically finished as obvious stunt doubles!!! but then you get mostly lame pictures of them posing with each other!!!! that and star trek action pics. Even as a kid I knew that was a stuntman on that flattened bridge in Temple of Doom. not in a popular movie but in the Lois and Clark tv show [superman romance show from the 90's] Clark [Dean Cain and all 6 foot 0 inches of him--superman should have been 6 foot 4]'s stunt double is SHORTER THAN HIM! how the hell can you be REMARKIBLY SHORTER??? AND SMALLER???  |

In the first film, there's a few moments where it's obviously not Michael Biehn, such as when he's hauling ass out of the parking garage and we can clearly see the much bulkier stunt driver through the windshield in a couple shots. |

Dragnet '87 ... At the P.A.G.A.N gathering, Joe Friday and Pep Streebeck (Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks), make a move back from a deep cistern, in preparation for a heroic dive into it. It's obvious that they duck out-of-the-way, and that two stuntmen move forward to make the dive.
