Hey guys, the handle for Eric in the description is wrong, it should be @ericlinden long time follower, love your channel, thanks so much and best of luck to you all!
I just respect their dedication and professionalism to give it their all doing stunts for dumpster fires like dc movies or most recent marvel ones haha I can appreciate the craft even for bad movies But yeah, gui is the best
Would love to see a silly, choreographed fight between Gui and Eric. Like an OLD SCHOOL corridor action flick EDIT: Super proud of Christian, keep going man, YOU, ARE, KILLING IT!
The impression I get with Gui is they did an episode, then he just never left. They came into the office the next day to find him still there and every day they are confused why he is there but he’s also a perfect shoe in for these episodes so they don’t say anything. They’ve adopted Gui like a wild cat.
I fucking love this series. Please never stop, Eric and Gui are so interesting and fun to watch. The chemistry really pops whenever they are on the couch
How about a sound designer reacts episode? Would love see a sound designers tought process and how they would approach scoring or doing sound effects for different scenes.
I feel like that scene in Tora!x3 is just so perfect because the sheer terror-laced confusion matches perfectly with what on-ground personnel would actually react back in the day. They kind of have to stay on the ground per orders, but they were also shocked and confused as to why an attack would be happening in that particular day when there's no news nor orders to anticipate a fight. Props to the cameraman who keeps rolling, he probably thought it was all part of the act lol.
Eric really is one of the best guests on the couch. It really is a shame that these episodes aren’t longer. If only there was a website with an extended cut available
Please react to some fight scenes from Warrior Nun!! There's an awesome one shot fight scene in a church on S2 E4 at the 30:40 mark and a kickass hallway fight in S1 E4 at 32:20 that has a jaw dropping parallel in S2 E8 at 31:50!
Tora! Tora! Tora! actually had ANOTHER plane accident on film. The B-17 earlier in the film had a landing gear failure where they couldn't get the gear down. The pilot radioed it in and said he was going to have to slide it on the belly. The filmmakers had him circle around while they got cameras moved into position and then they filmed him making that landing, then reworked the script to include it.
Yeah, if people had actually died we probably wouldn't see it (the paperwork would be ridiculous.) It's safe to say we're able to laugh at it 50 years later.
Talking about the Rambo tree-branch sequence, one thing that you guys might touch on in the future: The relationship between stunt coordinator and prop master. How the limitations of what a stunt can be is changed and elevated by the ingenuity of a particular prop or modification on set. Just a thought.
Related to this, there's a helicopter scene from the Wonder Woman show that is why they hired a stunt supervisor. Wonder Woman grabs the skids of a helicopter flying off to follow it. Lynda Carter did the stunt not knowing she was supposed to put her hands through safety straps, so she was just hanging from it until it circled back a minute later. Nearly killing your star opens up that budget.
We had a retired neighbor who did camera work for shows, commercials, smaller movies. He would record everything. Street fights (lots of dumb gang fights back then) parties, etc. He never flinched, he filmed everything until he was done. There was a drive by at our neighborhood park, he filmed the whole thing. Old school cameramen are something else.
For your next video can you please do either the Hallway fight scene from Warrior Nun 1x04 (from 32:20-33:40) or the Church Fight Scene from Warrior Nun 2x04 (from 30:40-32:24). Both great fight scenes, the one in 2x04 is a 2-minute long one-cam-shot.
You guys need to check out stunts from the show “The Fall Guy”. It was broadcasted during the 80s and the entire show is about a Hollywood stunt man who earns some extra cash being a bounty hunter. There are some impressive stunts throughout the show.
I loved that series. There are a couple of really hairy pick-up truck jumps in the title sequence; along with the (SPOILER for an almost 50-year-old movie) car getting his by a train from "Dirty Larry, Cazy Mary".
All those early 80s action shows. The fall Guy as well as TJ hooker, with William Shattner's stunt man hangin' off of car hoods every other episode like it had his name on it.
@@TheRealAlpha2 The A Team and Knight Rider would be a couple more I would be interested in seeing. I know how they did a lot of KITT driving himself from the Knight Rider channel.
I would love it if you could give your opinion on one of the fights in the show Warrior Nun. There are 2 really good ones. First, in S01E04 32:20-33:40 there is a hallway scene of a battle nun against security guards. It is an extremely well-executed, fast, and efficient takedown that looks and feels a lot more realistic than a lot of stuff I have seen on the big screen. In S01E04 30:40-32:24 there is a big chaotic group fight inside a church. While the execution is not the same as the hallway scene in S01 (because it is the actors doing all the moves and not trained stunt doubles) the fight is very interestingly choreographed. It was done in a single giant shot & they had only 3 takes or so to get it right.
With the heli, you can see what happened in your clip, the tail rotor struck the ground and disintegrated, this means there's nothing preventing the heli chassis wanting to rotate along with the rotors and you lose all control.
Correction: not along with the main rotor, but in the opposite direction. The main rotor exerts torque on the fuselage, trying to spin the fuselage in the opposite direction (which is countered by the tail rotor).
At least they were intending to land, anyway, so they'd lost most of the forward motion and the crash was relatively low speed. Still a proper brown alert for the pilot, I expect.
I really appreciate these react videos. Listening to the breakdowns and discussions helps me appreciate stunts, especially the stunt actors and coordinators, so much more. For me, it doesn't take away from the entertainment or immersion while watching newer films. Instead, it actually adds to the enjoyment when I see or recognise something as a stunt instead of CGI - especially if it's something pretty bad-ass or dangerous - because I now feel I have a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the art and the people involved. I was always intrigued with the outtakes shown during the end credits of Jackie Chan films, which were the first highlights to me of the kinds of risks and dangers involved in performing stunts, but this series has helped me further my understanding due to the discussions. So, a big thank you to everyone in this series and, of course, much love to the stunt actors! Also, it's always great to see Gui! 👍
Would love to see a stuntman react for the Thomas Jane Punisher. The fight against the Russian is amazing. The bridge jump, the parking lot explosions, even the chase at the beginning. Director wanted to do everything practical.
That's the fight where Thomas Jane accidentally stabbed Kevin Nash in the chest, for real. 😱 And then Kevin Nash said something like, "I've had worse". got patched up, and kept on with filming the scene. No wonder Thomas Jane was terrified of him 😄
The Phantom (1996) opening truck chase, primarily when the bridge is failing and the truck inverts, and the stunt guys have to blind catch a vine in a canyon as the fall out of the truck. Also, the plane ditch scene. Two people from a low flying bi-plane, to a single below at matched speed before the plane crash. Definitely an underrated Comic book movie of the 90's. Great episode guys!
Wish they'd covered the high fall from the beginning of Lethal Weapon as well, they printed the image of the car and the street ONTO the airbag for the stuntwoman to leap into, and cut at the moment of impact, so it looked like she was landing on the roof of a real car. I remember watching that sequence over and over again trying to figure out how they pulled off that gag
Agreed. As a kid when Lethal Weapon was released, I always noticed that she is off-centre while falling but the after-shot shows her having hit dead centre, but it wasnt until DVD came out that I finally noticed that the car was a painted air-bag!
Same deal with that shot; it took several years for me to approach it with a fresh pair of eyes. Something about the perspective of the car itself (from that angle) struck me as a little 'off,' and it was then that it dawned on me. Clever use of the idea, repurposed in the freeway chase in the third movie (dropping through the scaffolding after dangling from the unfinished section of the roadway), but they messed that one shot up because the canvas drop with the planks printed/painted on it was left still unkempt from a previous test fall (I'm assuming, anyway). Donner always had a thing for one perfect 'how the hell did they do that' shot in each of his movies. Think back on the 'Can you read my mind' sequence in Superman, where he flies away and is back at the apartment door in mere seconds; pre-internet, I finally worked out that it was a rear-projection shot combined with live action. That only occurred because I was watching a less pristine print and the grain of the rear projected image was more noticeable. It's still a great shame that Mic Rodgers never quite got the recognition he deserved for being Mr Gibson's stunt double (probably on camera for around 75% of all of the action scenes!) for close to twenty years, but it's always nice to see him roped into the background cast in LW1 (as the bus driver) and LW3 as a uniformed cop at the opening bomb threat scene.
It would be cool to see you guys react to the differences in vfx from the first Godzilla movie to the newer ones. The evolution and the different usages of practical and vfx is very interesting
I think it'd be interesting to see a Stuntmen React to movies where stunts have gone wrong in modern movies. Everyone talks about the stunt performers death in Ben-Hur in the 20's like it's some legendary thing that never happens anymore, but stunt performers have died on Deadpool 2, The Walking Dead, The Expendables 2, very recent stuff! And obviously serious injuries happen all the time too, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in particular had a terrifying production. I just think it'd be nice to bring attention to these people and talk about either the bad work conditions that caused the issues or if it was just unlucky.
You guys have probably already done the SEA film 'Chocolate' already, but I'd love to see you guys go through the credits where they show the 'gag' reel and everyone who ends up in hospital.
Another great episode! Talking about the seventies (and eighties), it would be great to see you react to French stunts from that time. The work or actor and stuntman Jean-Paul Belmondo and the car stunts of Rémy Julienne come to mind.
Excellent episode as always! I'd like you guys to do an animators react episode to the 1986 Hungarian movie Macskafogó (Cat City in the US). It can be almost anything, the city ambush against the mice, how the Mexican bats shoot at the cats with revolvers or at the end when they get captured at the end. There's also a 2nd part called Cat of Satan which came out in 2007, where the antagonist squshes mice and their car into a large dish which they play back to watch the footage of the incident.
The shot of that helicopter clipping it's tail rotor and spinning out was bonkers! Saw that hit and I was like "yeah that wasn't intentional... there's no way they'd allow that stunt"
What I love in the movie Black Adam is the slow motion part, as it was raining you can the see the intensity of the punches the slow movement and highlighting every move on that seen. It makes me feel like i was watching the Spartan movie with the slow motion .
I don't know if a shootout could be considered a stunt, but the police shootout in the movie Heat is amazing, very coordinated, lots of timed explosives for bullet holes, and my favorite part, shooting several magazines of blanks.
Since @EricLinden is a stunt coordinator, they could do an episode on shoot-outs from the concept stage through to practical. i.e. what makes one great/good/average/poor.
GREAT to see Eric back on the couch! I love the Stuntmen React series, we're about due for a new StuntWomen React, too! Right?! Looking forward to the new series, be careful with those trusses and make sure ALL the proper mounting and bracing is done right the first time!
Fun fact! The P-40 pictured here (the airplane that blew up) is a tail-dragger. Most planes today have tricycle landing gear, meaning the main wheels are rear of the center of gravity of the craft, and the "steering" wheel is under the nose, holding the nose up. But tail-draggers have the main gear FORWARD of the center of gravity, so the TAIL is the part of the plane that needs to be held up by the steering wheel. That wheel acts like a caster. The advantage is a lighter airplane, with less hardware needed to keep the propeller off the ground; the disadvantage is that the rear tail wheel acts like a caster on a shopping cart. Because it is BEHIND the main gear, any deviation in direction gets amplified, and the plain goes into what we call a Ground Loop. Imagine giving a shopping cart a stiff push in reverse, how it tends to spin out of control. That's exactly what's happening to the plane here! My dad recently built a tail-dragger airplane in his garage, and has to modify the controls and rear landing gear to counter the ground loop issue.
Killer Tomatoes!!!! I remember watching that on VHS! Looking at that, the helicopter damaged the tail rotor when it flared to slow down. The body of the helicopter spins in the opposite direction of the main blades and the tail rotor is there to counter that rotation.
I loved the opening fight scene in Black Adam. Really gave the "this is what fighting with a supernatural entity is like" feeling. Pity that feeling doesn't persist through more movies
A couple lifetimes ago, I worked on a movie that had Bill Riley as one of the stars. He's the guy in the blue suit in the helicopter scene for "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". I asked him about the scene and he confirmed that he was in the chopper when the tail rotor hit the ground.. He and the pilot got out safely, and just continued on with the scene. The kamikaze tomato line was improvised in ADR. The chopper burst into flames. It was later found out the owner/operator wasn't licensed to do that kind of work, so the insurance didn't cover it and most of the profits from the movie went to pay off the cost for the helicopter. As Schoolhouse Rocky used to say.... Knowledge is Power !
Yes! Loved the reaction to the Tora Tora Tora part. Can't wait if they can do another part to the reacts in aviation stunts. Would be cool to see their thoughts to the B-17 crash in Tora Tora Tora, the entirety of Battle of Britain, Devotion, or the helicopter scene in the beginning of For Your Eyes Only.
Please review old cowboy films and tv series stunts. Some of the stuff on horseback, wagons, trains, gunplay. So much to look at. I’d recommend The Lone Ranger and Bonanza for that.
STUNTMEN REACT IDEA. 1974 James Bond Man with the Golden Gun. When they jump the car over a river, it barrel rolls once and lands on its wheels. They actually did this stunt. The worked out the math for the speed, weight, and wind speed/direction, to land it perfectly. Plus there's a fun slide whistle noise!
This past New Years my family actually decided to watch the first two Rambo movies for whatever reason. And yeah, I was pretty impressed and intrigued about that cliff fall scene. Hearing Stallone actually broke his rib, and just now looking into all the other injuries he endured. Really makes me respect the film as a whole way more.
If you want an obscure but ridiculous stunt go look for the house raid scene in Avenging Force. A guy falling off a roof is one of the most insane fall gags I’ve seen
Since you just reacted to a crashing helicopter, I recommend you react to the scene from apocalypse now with the little bird rocket hit. The pyrotechnics team put a little too much explosive on the heli the explosion was so large that the pilot lost control of the hole for a moment but regained it after a few seconds. After landing, the production team praised him for his amazing stunt flying ability for making it look like he really lost control of the heli not knowing theat he actualy did.
I would LOVE to see more “stunts gone wrong” and the analysis of WHY they went wrong. What was supposed to happen and what happened instead. Not so much injuries or anything, just things going off plan, like Lethal Weapon.
Tora Tora Tora is my favorite war movie. Just the practical stunts and effects are great. Fun fact: In that same movie, they're supposed to get a shot of the Nevada pulling away from the dock, all majestic and awesome Well, the Navy didn't tell the production crew they were about to move the ship, so the crew was caught by surprise and had to hurriedly start filming, which is why they only catch the aft end in the scene.
Tora Tora Tora stunt: the moving crashing plane was controlled from that plane seen in the background, and a cable can be seen trailing behind the crashing fake plane. The planes made for this sequence were a mix of fibreglass over metal frames ( visible when one explodes ), and some with real aero-engines driving props that move the plane. The prop centre boss or spinner can be seen to collapse and disintegrate into the prop as it begins to move. This gag was then run a second time, to try and get it to work as expected. This is the one that can be seen to explode on the runway and spin to a halt, with it's prop coming off and whirring to s stop. These two runs had many cameras on them, and most of the cameras' shots were used in the film as shown. Again, both planes are controlled by cable from behind the plane standing on the runway at the rear of shot. Also: a plane used as a Japanese bomber ditched successfully into the harbour during filming, was not captured on film, and was later recovered. Some of these planes still exist and can be seen at airshows in the USA: modified versions of North American AT-6 or SNJ trainers and Vultee BT-15 crew trainers, some modified to appear as three different Japanese Navy planes. The Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the the Nakajima B5N Kate, and Aichi D3A Vals.
Man, I love Christian. I've just realised he's been my low-key inspiration for fitness goals for a little while. Send him some love for me and anyone else who is quietly inspired to get fitter every time we see an update from him.
I hrew up on Othello, BC, where Rambo: First Blood was shot (Othello was where the tree scene happened, just up the mountain from Hope.) That tree was left behind after shooting and you guys are correct; The branches were individually inserted into the trunk to be replacable. Really cool to see that scene covered since growing up in Hope, a small town, Stallone filming Rambo there was a big part of our identity back then - especially for us kids that loved the movie.
There's a production of The Goes Wrong Show called 90 Degrees where part of the set is built upside down, but it's shot right side up. There's a character who's dying in bed, and then he just flies straight up (or rather down) through the ceiling when he dies.
It’s a little stunt, but I just watched the Season 7 episode of Night Court, “Branded: Part 2,” and the cold open ends with the character of Phil doing a classic “fainting and falling backwards” gag. Except instead of falling through the doorway, he hits his head on the side. 10/10 stunt injury!
Oh my god they finally looked at Tora! Tora! Tora!! I left a comment for this film years ago! Such an insane shot. Honestly the whole scene is pretty insane with mad pyrotechnics and so many airplanes.
As a kid in the 90s my babysitter was obsessed with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. So much nostalgia. I never knew the helicopter crash was an accident. Is TORA! TORA! TORA! part of the inspiration for some of the gaffs joked about in Tropic Thunder?
For a VFX episode you should react to the 2004 live action adaptation of Casshern. Not very mentioned among the first feature-length live action films to be shot on a digital backlot.
Corey Eubanks would be a great guest. He got his start on The Dukes of Hazzard, did driving stunts in Cobra, rolled the bus in Fast Five, and lots more.
There was some pretty amazing car stunts from the Blue Brothers, I think they still hold the record for more cars flipped or something like that. There's a scene when they destroy a mall and people are running around the mall avoiding the cars being driven around, it's pretty crazy.

9:40 Gui laughing hysterically then realizing people almost died that day is just freaking hilarious
TBF, the sequence probably wouldn't have been anything like as impressive if it had gone as planned. Just have to be thankful nobody got hurt.
Yeah, if people had actually died we probably wouldn't see it (the paperwork would be ridiculous.) It's safe to say we're able to laugh at it 50 years later.

Please consider reacting to the fight scenes of Warrior Nun!
Timestamps for 1x04 (Hallway fight scene): 32:20, 2x04 (Church fight scene): 30:40
Yeah, both of those scenes really set the tone of the show!
Oooh yes, I love Season 1 of Warrior Nun.

Clever use of the idea, repurposed in the freeway chase in the third movie (dropping through the scaffolding after dangling from the unfinished section of the roadway), but they messed that one shot up because the canvas drop with the planks printed/painted on it was left still unkempt from a previous test fall (I'm assuming, anyway). Donner always had a thing for one perfect 'how the hell did they do that' shot in each of his movies. Think back on the 'Can you read my mind' sequence in Superman, where he flies away and is back at the apartment door in mere seconds; pre-internet, I finally worked out that it was a rear-projection shot combined with live action. That only occurred because I was watching a less pristine print and the grain of the rear projected image was more noticeable.
It's still a great shame that Mic Rodgers never quite got the recognition he deserved for being Mr Gibson's stunt double (probably on camera for around 75% of all of the action scenes!) for close to twenty years, but it's always nice to see him roped into the background cast in LW1 (as the bus driver) and LW3 as a uniformed cop at the opening bomb threat scene.
Congratz on hitting 6M!! The work and the dedication that everyone puts in is truely amazing!! Looking forward to 2023!!
It would be cool to see you guys react to the differences in vfx from the first Godzilla movie to the newer ones. The evolution and the different usages of practical and vfx is very interesting
I think it'd be interesting to see a Stuntmen React to movies where stunts have gone wrong in modern movies. Everyone talks about the stunt performers death in Ben-Hur in the 20's like it's some legendary thing that never happens anymore, but stunt performers have died on Deadpool 2, The Walking Dead, The Expendables 2, very recent stuff! And obviously serious injuries happen all the time too, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in particular had a terrifying production.
I just think it'd be nice to bring attention to these people and talk about either the bad work conditions that caused the issues or if it was just unlucky.
You guys have probably already done the SEA film 'Chocolate' already, but I'd love to see you guys go through the credits where they show the 'gag' reel and everyone who ends up in hospital.
that movie was nuts!
I love that you reacted to Tora! Tora! Tora! it's my all time favorite war movie. I had no idea that scene was actual chaos!
I'm a simple man, I see a corridor video, I click
I see Lethal Weapon and I click
I see nuclear bomb detonation button, I click
I’m a simple man, I see a fart video, I click
I see 6 million subscribers, I click.
Another great episode! Talking about the seventies (and eighties), it would be great to see you react to French stunts from that time. The work or actor and stuntman Jean-Paul Belmondo and the car stunts of Rémy Julienne come to mind.
Excellent episode as always!
I'd like you guys to do an animators react episode to the 1986 Hungarian movie Macskafogó (Cat City in the US). It can be almost anything, the city ambush against the mice, how the Mexican bats shoot at the cats with revolvers or at the end when they get captured at the end.
There's also a 2nd part called Cat of Satan which came out in 2007, where the antagonist squshes mice and their car into a large dish which they play back to watch the footage of the incident.
Are you serious...
Well I guess you couldn't imagine that.
@@M0RGAT0RY Why though?
Brilliant to see Gui as co-host and Eric back!
As much fun as this show normally is, this episode really feels like masters talking about their craft that they’re super passionate about.
The shot of that helicopter clipping it's tail rotor and spinning out was bonkers! Saw that hit and I was like "yeah that wasn't intentional... there's no way they'd allow that stunt"
I love this show so much. I have gained such an appriciation for stunts and VFX!
What I love in the movie Black Adam is the slow motion part, as it was raining you can the see the intensity of the punches the slow movement and highlighting every move on that seen. It makes me feel like i was watching the Spartan movie with the slow motion .
Such an wholsome ending !
Can't wait for more new videos thank you Corridor Crew!
My jaw hit the floor when I heard Dubstep guns 2. The first one was my introduction to these guys, been a fan ever since
Could you look at some of the fight stunts in Zatoichi and the one Armed Swordsman?
I don't know if a shootout could be considered a stunt, but the police shootout in the movie Heat is amazing, very coordinated, lots of timed explosives for bullet holes, and my favorite part, shooting several magazines of blanks.
Since @EricLinden is a stunt coordinator, they could do an episode on shoot-outs from the concept stage through to practical. i.e. what makes one great/good/average/poor.
Linden is honestly a legend. I would not be surprised if he is the face of movie stunts in the future! Get Linden and Chang together already !!!
The warrior nun scenes are pretty epic ! Please consider reacting to them :)))

Yes please! I second this suggestion.
The Attack of the Killer tomatoes clip made me laugh so much. What a fantastic clip to show, kudos to the person who recommended that.
Such a great episode! It would be cool to check out more "accidents" that made it into the final cut!
GREAT to see Eric back on the couch! I love the Stuntmen React series, we're about due for a new StuntWomen React, too! Right?!
Looking forward to the new series, be careful with those trusses and make sure ALL the proper mounting and bracing is done right the first time!
that camera man in the expendables 3 is committed .....a damn legend
I love how they had never seen "Tora! Tora! Tora!". So many stunts in that movie.
any scene from "The Musketeer", some of the coolest swordfights in any movie
Fun fact! The P-40 pictured here (the airplane that blew up) is a tail-dragger. Most planes today have tricycle landing gear, meaning the main wheels are rear of the center of gravity of the craft, and the "steering" wheel is under the nose, holding the nose up. But tail-draggers have the main gear FORWARD of the center of gravity, so the TAIL is the part of the plane that needs to be held up by the steering wheel. That wheel acts like a caster. The advantage is a lighter airplane, with less hardware needed to keep the propeller off the ground; the disadvantage is that the rear tail wheel acts like a caster on a shopping cart. Because it is BEHIND the main gear, any deviation in direction gets amplified, and the plain goes into what we call a Ground Loop.
Imagine giving a shopping cart a stiff push in reverse, how it tends to spin out of control. That's exactly what's happening to the plane here!
My dad recently built a tail-dragger airplane in his garage, and has to modify the controls and rear landing gear to counter the ground loop issue.
You need to do the speedboat chase scene at the end of Face/Off! There are some extremely intense stunts done at full scale with epic cinematography.
Killer Tomatoes!!!! I remember watching that on VHS! Looking at that, the helicopter damaged the tail rotor when it flared to slow down. The body of the helicopter spins in the opposite direction of the main blades and the tail rotor is there to counter that rotation.
The accidental stuff like the airplane crash and helicopter crash were amazing to see, would love to see more like that.
I loved the opening fight scene in Black Adam. Really gave the "this is what fighting with a supernatural entity is like" feeling. Pity that feeling doesn't persist through more movies
A couple lifetimes ago, I worked on a movie that had Bill Riley as one of the stars. He's the guy in the blue suit in the helicopter scene for "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". I asked him about the scene and he confirmed that he was in the chopper when the tail rotor hit the ground.. He and the pilot got out safely, and just continued on with the scene. The kamikaze tomato line was improvised in ADR. The chopper burst into flames. It was later found out the owner/operator wasn't licensed to do that kind of work, so the insurance didn't cover it and most of the profits from the movie went to pay off the cost for the helicopter. As Schoolhouse Rocky used to say.... Knowledge is Power !
Really loved seeing these "when things go wrong" clips, would love to see more!
Bangkok Knockout is a gem for its action. The same stunt crew and choreographer that did Ong Bak
I re-watched The Mask of Zorro recently, and y'all simply MUST react to the stunts, swordplay and swashbuckling.
This ad read was very well done! I like how personal it feels.
Yes! Loved the reaction to the Tora Tora Tora part. Can't wait if they can do another part to the reacts in aviation stunts. Would be cool to see their thoughts to the B-17 crash in Tora Tora Tora, the entirety of Battle of Britain, Devotion, or the helicopter scene in the beginning of For Your Eyes Only.
The timelines have converged!!! Eric and Gui on the same couch
Congrats on 6 mil! If any channel deserves it you guys do. All of my nerd and filmmaking friends love you guys ❤
Please review old cowboy films and tv series stunts. Some of the stuff on horseback, wagons, trains, gunplay. So much to look at. I’d recommend The Lone Ranger and Bonanza for that.
STUNTMEN REACT IDEA. 1974 James Bond Man with the Golden Gun. When they jump the car over a river, it barrel rolls once and lands on its wheels. They actually did this stunt. The worked out the math for the speed, weight, and wind speed/direction, to land it perfectly. Plus there's a fun slide whistle noise!
This past New Years my family actually decided to watch the first two Rambo movies for whatever reason. And yeah, I was pretty impressed and intrigued about that cliff fall scene. Hearing Stallone actually broke his rib, and just now looking into all the other injuries he endured. Really makes me respect the film as a whole way more.
If you want an obscure but ridiculous stunt go look for the house raid scene in Avenging Force. A guy falling off a roof is one of the most insane fall gags I’ve seen
Since you just reacted to a crashing helicopter, I recommend you react to the scene from apocalypse now with the little bird rocket hit.
The pyrotechnics team put a little too much explosive on the heli the explosion was so large that the pilot lost control of the hole for a moment but regained it after a few seconds.
After landing, the production team praised him for his amazing stunt flying ability for making it look like he really lost control of the heli not knowing theat he actualy did.
I would LOVE to see more “stunts gone wrong” and the analysis of WHY they went wrong. What was supposed to happen and what happened instead. Not so much injuries or anything, just things going off plan, like Lethal Weapon.
Love the new and improved overlay, you thought no one would notice but we did, it’s great!
While we're looking at old-school stunts from random movies, Smokey and the Bandit has some great ones!
There are some great car stunts in the Blues Brothers! Especially when they have like 50 cars just piling into each other!!
Tora Tora Tora is my favorite war movie. Just the practical stunts and effects are great. Fun fact: In that same movie, they're supposed to get a shot of the Nevada pulling away from the dock, all majestic and awesome Well, the Navy didn't tell the production crew they were about to move the ship, so the crew was caught by surprise and had to hurriedly start filming, which is why they only catch the aft end in the scene.
Everything everywhere all at once! The stunts we're so good!
Tora Tora Tora stunt: the moving crashing plane was controlled from that plane seen in the background, and a cable can be seen trailing behind the crashing fake plane.
The planes made for this sequence were a mix of fibreglass over metal frames ( visible when one explodes ), and some with real aero-engines driving props that move the plane.
The prop centre boss or spinner can be seen to collapse and disintegrate into the prop as it begins to move.
This gag was then run a second time, to try and get it to work as expected. This is the one that can be seen to explode on the runway and spin to a halt, with it's prop coming off and whirring to s stop.
These two runs had many cameras on them, and most of the cameras' shots were used in the film as shown.
Again, both planes are controlled by cable from behind the plane standing on the runway at the rear of shot.
Also: a plane used as a Japanese bomber ditched successfully into the harbour during filming, was not captured on film, and was later recovered.
Some of these planes still exist and can be seen at airshows in the USA: modified versions of North American AT-6 or SNJ trainers and Vultee BT-15 crew trainers, some modified to appear as three different Japanese Navy planes.
The Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the the Nakajima B5N Kate, and Aichi D3A Vals.
I love the chemistry amongst you three
Man, I love Christian. I've just realised he's been my low-key inspiration for fitness goals for a little while. Send him some love for me and anyone else who is quietly inspired to get fitter every time we see an update from him.
The fire fight between Andy On Chi Kit vs Jayce Chan in the movie Invisible Target.
I hrew up on Othello, BC, where Rambo: First Blood was shot (Othello was where the tree scene happened, just up the mountain from Hope.) That tree was left behind after shooting and you guys are correct; The branches were individually inserted into the trunk to be replacable.
Really cool to see that scene covered since growing up in Hope, a small town, Stallone filming Rambo there was a big part of our identity back then - especially for us kids that loved the movie.
There's a production of The Goes Wrong Show called 90 Degrees where part of the set is built upside down, but it's shot right side up. There's a character who's dying in bed, and then he just flies straight up (or rather down) through the ceiling when he dies.
It’s a little stunt, but I just watched the Season 7 episode of Night Court, “Branded: Part 2,” and the cold open ends with the character of Phil doing a classic “fainting and falling backwards” gag. Except instead of falling through the doorway, he hits his head on the side.
10/10 stunt injury!
Lethal weapon 2 springboard explosion is a stunt that always made me wince.
I am so glad they finally reacted to bko. One of my fav action movies out there
The amount of love in this video is amazing!!!! You 3 looked doable comfortable loved it!. The wngery is very positive
Oh my god they finally looked at Tora! Tora! Tora!! I left a comment for this film years ago! Such an insane shot. Honestly the whole scene is pretty insane with mad pyrotechnics and so many airplanes.
As a kid in the 90s my babysitter was obsessed with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. So much nostalgia. I never knew the helicopter crash was an accident.
Is TORA! TORA! TORA! part of the inspiration for some of the gaffs joked about in Tropic Thunder?
For a VFX episode you should react to the 2004 live action adaptation of Casshern. Not very mentioned among the first feature-length live action films to be shot on a digital backlot.
Yes! I was literally saying 2 days ago how much I wanted Eric back
Corey Eubanks would be a great guest. He got his start on The Dukes of Hazzard, did driving stunts in Cobra, rolled the bus in Fast Five, and lots more.
Love you Gui! So cool to see you on the channel again!
Just rewatched Robocop 2 and man there's so crazy stunts in the chase to get Caine.
Civil War is my all-time favourite film and every time I see Gui I hear, "Before we get started, does anybody wanna get out?" 🤣
There was some pretty amazing car stunts from the Blue Brothers, I think they still hold the record for more cars flipped or something like that. There's a scene when they destroy a mall and people are running around the mall avoiding the cars being driven around, it's pretty crazy.
