The Stunt That Almost Killed Jackie ChanJackie Chan is famous for doing his own stunts, in real time, without much in the way of safety devices that would need to be digitally excised from the film. He has been injured countless times, which has affected his health over the decades. Was it worth the risk? Only Chan can answer that, but that's because he's still alive. One tiny misstep in any of those movie stunts could have spelled his end, but whether it's skill or luck doesn't change the fact that these stunts are incredibly dangerous, and we are thankful that most movie stars don't take such chances. Half of this video is an overview of Chan's rise to stardom, which is worth the price of admission in itself. Then we get a close look at the closest Chan ever came to dying in making a film. There is also a minute-long ad in the middle. -via Digg#JackieChan #filmmaking #stunt #moviestunt

How Tom Cruise Prepared for the Biggest Stunt in Movie HistoryMission Impossible 7 won't be released until May of 2022, but naturally, the Paramount presentation at CinemaCon promoted all their biggest movies on the schedule for the next year. It included details of that big stunt in the seventh Mission Impossible film, in which Cruise rides a motorcycle off a cliff and then parachutes to the ground. Cruise spent an entire year training for this one scene!Over the course of a year, Cruise completed about 500 skydives, which sometimes included 30 in one day, as well as 13,000 motocross jumps on a specially constructed track. All of this was done to make sure Cruise was a complete expert at not just base jumping and parachuting but motocross too. He’d need to be all of those things to pull off the stunt on the day.
