What qualifies as a blogger stunt? Pantyblogging?
Yeah, bethy, we can be pretty sure that Chan does his own, because, if nothing else, we see him wiping out in the outtakes. I'm skeptical that other actors don't occasionially do their own as well.
This is why Jackie Chan doesn't like to make movies in the US.
Lost in La Mancha, the documentary about Terry Gilliam's illfated Don Quixote project has some interesting segments about the anxious movie insurers.
"Do stars really never do their own stunts?"
Too vague a question to be answered other than by the uninformative "yes, sometimes."
Anyone who is gullible enough to believe that Jackie Chan, who is 51 years old, never uses a stunt man, I'd like to have a nice discussion with about some property for sale.
Does Jackie Chan Do His Own Stunts?
Brace yourself: No. For several minor stunts and one or two major ones, he has used a stand-in, sometimes due to an injury and sometimes for other reasons. But he has done the vast majority of the insane stunts in his films.
So this property you have for sale, I imagine it has one or two minor drawbacks but is for the most part just as you represent it?
I hereby appoint myself the first member of the Gary Farber Less Curmudgeonly Rewrite Bridage Brigade (GFLCRB).
6: "Do stars really never do their own stunts?"
Well, sometimes they do. With regard to Chan, keep in mind that he's 51 years old, and whatever his PR man says, it's very likely that he uses a stunt double for some scenes. In fact, here's a page that concedes as much. Have a great day :)
Is it a prerequisite to joining GFLCRB that one doesn't follow GF's links? ;)
Does Johnny Knoxville count as a star?
How does one dislocate a cheek bone? I wasn't aware that there was a cheek joint.
I know a drag queen who had cheekbone implants put in and one got dislocated in a fistfight a few months later. True story.
What qualifies as a blogger stunt?
Steve does all his own stunts.
Oh, yeah, that qualifies. Especially the fermented soybeans. Yech.
According to the director's commentary, Burt Lancaster did all of his own stunts in this movie when he was 50. He doesn't do anything Jackie Chan-like, but he does jump onto and off of (once he's even shoved off) moving trains.
And y'all will be thrilled to know that Ben Affleck doesn't use a stunt bottom; the nekkid ass you see is his own.
OTOH, many of the naked body parts one sees in films are body doubles - after all, showing off cellulite is far more dangerous than jumping from a 10th floor window.
