........had to be VERY dangerous in real life for the stunt people involved ?? For instance, whenever I think of dangerous stunt work, I tend to think of the chariot race scene from Ben-Hur (1959), which, if I'm not mistaken, was DEADLY difficult.  Anybody have any that made them 'nervous' ??  SAVE FERRIS |

Those people are trained professionals and I'm sure they go into it knowing the risks.

SAVE FERRISHow about when a stunt goes wrong, and they leave it in because it has impact. Sometimes you can tell it wasn't the usual kind of stunt you see in a movie. For instance, I saw "Shamus" (1973) in theaters, and I audibly said, "Ow" when I saw this stunt (at 2:35 mark in trailer) www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9-9zMl_AXANo fancy cutting in the shot. It just looked to me like the guy had a painful fall. I found out much later that wasn't the way it was supposed to go. The stunt went bad. Another is in Thunderball (1965). When Bond is in a shark pool, there is a clear shot of Sean Connery (no stunt man) in close proximity with a shark. That was a mistake, where a shark snuck in where it wasn't supposed to be able to go. |

Roar (1981)- a film with numerous wild, untrained lions, tigers (etc) interacting with cast and crew. Had me wide-eyed and cringing quite a lot. Very intense viewing.

It does bother me though that when anyone is killed on a movie set during stunts or other dangerous work. It's like, "Why did they get killed just making something for our entertainment?" |

The story of the death of a stunt man during the chariot race in the 1959 Ben-Hur is an unban legend. Snopes writes: However, there was an earlier movie version of Ben-Hur, a silent film, released in 1926. There are witnesses to a death in the filming of that chariot race (which I, personally, prefer over the 1959 race). Again, here is Snopes: Stunt pilot(Paul Mantz died during the filming of the take-off of the title airplane in The Flight Of The Phoenix (1965). The final flight, July 8, 1965    |
