    Stunts is a job that you know you can die or become disabled. What kind of awards you want? You only do it because you wanted to be in Hollywood (Jeff said it at 10:44 ). I can live without films that require stunt people. You want recognition? How about the factory that makes the wires? Without them you couldn't do your job successfully. See how stupid it sounds?

    I know other people have said this here, but it's ridiculous that stunt-people are so devalued and can't win any Oscars. I don't see anyone else in Hollywood risking their lives for a production. What the actual fuck?

    So that's where the idea for The Fall Guy came from. 😳 Just one thing I noticed out of place in this video. In the section at around the 18:00 mark. Michael Lush was not a professional stuntman. He was an ordinary member of the public who went onto a TV show to do a bungee jump from a crane. Had it been a professional stunt double doing a professional shoot, it wouldn't have garnered the attention it did on TV and in the press.

    These people risk there lives to give US the thrills at the movies!! When i was a young man i was blown away what i was seeing in the movies! I wanted to be stunt guy! I did some stunts by my self and i loved it!! As one stunt guy said " i did not talk just listen..just listen..to the other stunt people....to learn. " and oscar for stunt people would be the next cat in at the oscars...

    On the topic of "awards for stunts": Competing for the best acting performance, script, direction, etc. = Sure, why not. Competing for the most dangerous stunt = That sounds a lot like competing for the best Darwin Award. I'd reconsider that notion.

    I was watching something about what happened to Olivia Jackson and somehow I stumbled upon this video... I truly cannot believe how neglected and how ignored the amazing and incomparable stuntmen and women have been throughout Hollywood history. To be honest, I never even thought about it. You all deserve to be rewarded at every single award show, you deserve huge paychecks, and finally you deserve the admiration and respect from your peers and the audience for your skills and the risks you take for our entertainment. You risk your lives on a daily basis for us. Thank you for your enormous contribution. How we have taken you for granted. Never again!!!

    Cool documentary! You should try and make sure though that you are filming at 25 frames or 50 frames per second. In most of the interviews I think you were probably at 12.9 frames or something? Thats why you have the strange motion blur where people are using their hands to express themselves.

    Such a great film! Thank you!! The "no space for a new category" excuse is obviously bullshit... the Academy added (and subsequently retracted, thank god) the 'popular film' film category just last year 🙄These amazing stunt people should get the credit they deserve.

I really want to get into stunts but I'm (already?) 24 and have no martial arts background whatsover.. just dancing and weight training and I feel like I'm already behind on the people my age that are already in stunts you know?

      Get that out of your head (your age I mean)! A friend of mine got into stunts at the age of 30, and she's kicking some butt! Just take some classes and learn how the body moves and get good at manipulating it! Train and know your body. Good luck! :)
