The actor Jon Erik Hexum also was killed that way. He was playing Russian Roulette with a blank .44 magnum and it blasted skull fragments into his brain.
Yeah imo there’s no need to use blank firing weapons. Airsoft guns are literally just like the real thing without the ability to accidentally kill or seriously injure someone.
Absolutely do a Jackie Chan episode based solely on Jackie's stunts, and maybe a big segment on his injuries. I know hes amassed a crazy amount of them over the years, sometimes they even keep the takes where he gets hurt! Not to mention the crazy awesome practical effects and choreography, which is managed by Jackie himself! What an amazing dude.
YES. and also, how about Corridor team invite Bradley James "Brad" Allan for that? Because he was the only Caucasian from Australia who Jackie accepted as his disciple and The Member of Jackie Chan Stun Team! Not only he contributes to Jackie since Mr. Nice Guy, he also Contributes in The Chronicles of Riddick, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Pacific Rim, The World's End, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Ant-Man. as Stunt co-ordinator & 2nd unit director. so please Corridor team, Contact him to react all of his previous work, with or without Jackie.
Dude, they're having big league hollywood stuntmen on already, and they're awesome. What do you think Jackie Chan could tell us? Obviously he's incredibly experienced, but I don't think he looks back on his movies with the same bright-eyed enthusiasm that these young up-and-coming stuntmen have for them.
@@kidkangaroo5213 And imo that'd be a great perspective to hear for a change! Jackie has done stuff no sane person would attempt these days (or even be allowed to try), it'd be interesting to hear his insight on it! Maybe he wouldn't want to reflect on it, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
another fun fact about the horses falling: the wire is called a "running Y" and that stunt killed many horses and some stunt riders, because the horses wouldn't be given any cues before the wire was pulled. they'd be running at full speed (25 or 30 mph) and then they're falling flat on their faces and flipping over, risking severe spinal injury in the process. the horses that get up are the lucky ones, and clearly that isn't done in film anymore. modern movies with horses falling you'll see the horse turn its head and fall sideways similar to a stage faint, where the rider is telling the horse to fall. it's a lot safer for horse and rider because they're both prepared for it
Hardcore Henry: When chasing a bad guy and sliding down the center of an escalator, Henry clotheslines a woman who face plants and then checks on her instead of following the bad guy. This wasn't planned and when they stopped to check on her, she reportedly popped up and asked if they'd gotten the shot.
Reminds me of the little girl actress from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. "I didn't hurt you with that throw did I?!" "No No No No, I'm good! I got pads on. I always throw myself on the floor, just for fun, even when I'm not getting paid". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yqy-fTTvAgs.html
I got to say you guys struck gold with these react series, I don't watch any other channels react to stuff, and 90% of the time I always click through and watch the whole thing. Amazing.
The key is not just them reacting and being overdramatic , But actually explaining how and why the scene is like it is. It's more informative than empty entertainment.
Fucking douche bage Hollywood and their elitist cult. Too far up their own arses to even see the dedication to stunts. Without stuntmen, movie developers are screwed.
@@PittsburghSonido to be fair, when have the acadamey awards ever been respected by most people. Like you said, only old rich men influences the awards
@@hundredeleven nobody right in their head does that. They're not evil Knievel. They have a job to do, if they're uncomfortable with it they don't do it.
"You think he broke a rib?" "I broke a rib just watching that." That's really hard to watch when you come out of "movie mode" and just think of how much that probably hurt.
Rush Hour. As opposed to Jackie's other movies this one being American had a much shorter time frame for stunts. So it's cool see if there were any tricks they did that had large visual impact but easy and quick to implement as opposed to large visual impact with ample setup time.
There's a behind the scenes look between Jackie & one of the Production guys going through one of the scenes with Jackie telling the Production guy why certain things wouldn't make logical sense and they would go back & forth with Jackie ultimately winning but also keeping the original intent of the scene alive. A good example was "as scripted", Jackie's character was supposed to just toss a gun oh willy nilly, even though it was "loaded". Jackie pointed out that that didn't make any logical sense on multiple levels including safety reasons. But yeah, this is why I love a lot of Jackie's movies, especially the Non-Americanized ones because every fight scene is choreographed beautifully for it to make sense. They also "follow through" with a lot of the fight scenes to where it works, as opposed to filming/cutting/filming/cutting/rinse/repeat and there would be massively noticeable cuts, especially if the Actor/Actress are mainly one handed (their right hand is the predominant hand) while Stunt Performer is the opposite causing the SP to hold the weapon/foreign object one way while the Actor/Actress holds it differently.
I absolutely love to see them react to all of the behind the scene extras that are added to a lot of Jackie's movies, especially the more infamous ones. The ones that almost ended his career, & almost ended his life.
It's actually the other way around. Meaning that JC's American movies take so much time to set up due to safety regulations as opposed to his Hong Kong films where precautions are kept to a minimum.
@@jp3813 What I meant is that Jackie & his stunt team will fully choreograph their scenes, and his team probably is one of the few, possibly only, that would probably have the highest safety regs in Asia. But I do get what you mean.
The making of special features of The Protector show how that long take was made. When the guy is thrown off the balcony is pretty neat as you get to see them pull the pads in for him to fall on, then pull them back out of shot, and the guy is on the floor. I think it was side by side with the final shot. Impressive work.
for future stuntmen reacts: Ninja Assassin - they literally created a martial art for this movie The Mummy (1999) - Brendan Frasier destroyed his body during most of the stunts
Assassin's Creed (2016) has a lot of cool stunts. According to IMDb: "The film features the highest free fall performed by a stuntman in almost 35 years. The stuntman Damien Walters performed a free fall from the height of 125 feet (38 meters), which lasted almost 3 seconds with a 61 mph impact speed." Would love to see you guys react to that!
If I remember right the last record holding free fall 35 years before was Dar Robinson in Sharkies Machine with Burt Reynolds, Dar stunted on a few of his films and was lead stunts and had bit parts and was a lead henchmen in one movie as the Albino Hitman
I've seen horses trained to take a fall, and they did it without any cables or any kind of "hardware assist". But they couldn't do it at full gallop like in the Stage Coach. The way they used to do animal stunts back in the day was pretty brutal, and if a horse broke its leg or neck or whatever then it wasn't a big thing, just put a bullet in it and bring in a replacement.
The story of Yakima Canutt is absolutely fascinating. He was "the" stunt personality on so many Westerns (both silent and talkies), and eventually moved into the realm of designing rigs, harnesses and setups for other stunts, like breakaway harnesses and cable rigs to make the stunts safer. He transferred many sensational bits from rodeo (horse falls, wagon wrecks) to the screen.
Craziest Jackie Chan stunt. "Who Am I?" where he wraps himself in a rope and jumps off a building and spins and unravels himself in midair. Haven't seen the movie in like 15 years but that stunt still amazes me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a9Ydhi8Qtqc.html
I think the stunt were he slide on the top of a 45° glass building only to almost fall at the edge was more impressive, because it was not a stunt. To each his own.
The one from Rumble in the Bronx, where he jumps from one apartment window,to the other apartment across the street! That stunt was insane as well. Jackie is a stunt legend
All the stuff with the helicopter (and the rope ladder, and the moving train) in Kuala Lumpur at the end of Police Story 3/Supercop was completely nuts as well, what a fucking legend.
I love all of the channels like this CinemaWins, nerdwriter etc. that talk about different aspects of movies. It's greatly increased my appreciation of all the work going into film.
@@uwirl4338 He appreciates and notices things about movies that most people don't take the time to go through and talk about. And it's refreshing and more purposeful than the haphazard "sin it because we've sinned it before" jokey thing that CinemaSins does, it's gotten old for me. Half of the reason for CinemaWins is to talk about the good things in "mediocre" or "bad" movies, it's in the description of his channel.
@Duende2211 I don't, I'll have to check it out. CinemaWins is the opposite of CinemaSins, except where CinemaSins takes a funny, joking take instead of serious critique CinemaWins is a bit more serious.
@@Wheels-of-terror CinemaSins is almost insultingly bad, I'll give you that, but CinemaWins isn't great either. Cheap appreciation isn't good appreciation
this show feels like its devolved into "how'd they do this?" "they padded up and just went for it" and i'm not complaining about that. i love seeing them really just go for it
About the blanks: When we were making 1864 'watch that movie, I honestly believe it was the best project I work on) I got hit to the back of my head with blank from about 1 meter away. It took about 4 years to heal... Blanks are super dangerous...
@@explodingtomahawks7589 Thank you, I'm fine :-) I got married and decided it is not a good job for a husband and a father so I got a normal job in IT. Still I have a lot of stories from the filming period of my life :-D The neck got better, the only permanent damage I have is from a piece of burning gun powder, that got into my lung, but nothing serious.
YES. but if they cannot. Corridor team should invite Bradley James "Brad" Allan/ Because he was the only Caucasian from Australia who Jackie accepted as his disciple and The Member of Jackie Chan Stun Team!

My favourite part of this video is watching Gui flinch and cringe at the incredibly dumb, painful and overall cool stunts that probably took years off the stuntman’s life. Thank god for modern safety precautions.
Really happy you guys covered *Stagecoach* I wanted to mention it in several comments sections of your vids, but I wasn't sure if you'd covered it already or not. I only just recently discovered this channel and this series. Yakima Canut is definitely a legend in cinema history. His son was also a stuntman, and is the guy who gets jettisoned up over his chariot during the chariot race-sequence in William Wyler's *Ben-Hur*
Yes, I noticed that too. I believe the plan was to swing on the chandelier towards a more controlled fall.. but the darn thing couldn't handle the weight, hence the dramatic (but mostly painful) landing.
Definitely looks like the chandelier broke without planning. It even looks like that stunt guy hit and hurt really bad the arm he landed on top of at the end of the shot
Here’s an interesting suggestion: The Lucas Lee Stunt team multi-man brawl from Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Really any fight scene from that movie, but that one felt the most eventful.
I love that John Woo just interprets every bullet from a gun as a mini explosive round that blows everything out 10 feet from its impact. It makes everything look so powerful.
I remember watching some of the behind the scenes for the protector. For the three story drop they pulled out a big stack of boxes on wheels that takes up almost the entire floor and swapped it out for the little hut the first guy crashed into (also on wheels). One of the takes they did they didn't get the thing out on time and luckily Tony looked down and saw that was the case before he accidentally merc'd the dude.
I see picture the squib episode already: “Corridor Digital Executes Co-founder” then there’s gonna be someone on the roof with a sniper rifle and Michael Bay explosions in the background
"How did those horses do that?" Ah because killing animals for the sake of film making was ok back then, they just got sent off to the dog food factory......I mean there's a reason films all say there were no animals harmed in the filming of this movie now.
In the DVD extras for The Protector, they discuss that scene in full depth. I think they had to try it like 6 times before they (mostly) nailed it. Cleaned up a few minor details in post. But on one take, when Tony was lifting that guy up to throw him over the rail, he noticed in a fraction of a second that the pads weren't in place yet, and managed to stop himself from throwing the guy over. You brought up the importance of him looking for the pad, which genuinely already helped him save that man's life. Please do the scene where he permanently cripples and entire mob
I've watched every Jackie Chan movie. He is the undisputed king of action comedy. I was lost watching 2 of his stunts in the movie "Who am i". There is a scene where he manages to outrun a lion and climb up a tree which looks so good even after all of these years. I am clueless as to how it was done. 2nd scene is also from that movie where he almost gets hit by a semi...it was epic and i would love for you guys to explore those 2 stunts.
Since yall did the scene from Stagecoach it made me think that you really REALLY need to react to the chariot race scene from Ben Hur. Absolute insanity.
Old movies were not at all kind to animals. Even the 'rabid dog' in To Kill a Mockingbird had its legs yanked out from under it with a wire in the scene where Finch shoots it. So glad that LotR used motion capture to create realistic CGI horses whenever they needed to show a serious fall or injury.
In the Cannibal Holocaust they straight up cut open and ate a live large turtle. First time watching it we were convinced it was a very realistic prop since there's no way they were allowed to do that but I looked it up online aaand it was the real deal.
@@ferro1398 In that movie wasn't a lot of it too real for comfort? Things like bones and shit being actual human bones of the dead. I heard something about not just that turtle death being extremely real.
Great as always! Video idea: "VFX Artists React to Viral Videos Faked with CGI" - this was a previous topic I did a video on, but I would love to see Corridors take on it and think it would be a big hit!
There’s a shot in “The Other Guys”. The shot is from the scene after they get their shoes taken from them. The moment is when one of the officers points this out their lack of footwear and for some reason, their feet are (very poorly) CGI’D. I don’t get it. Theres also the bar scene, which I thought was pretty cool.
I watched Cloverfield recently and couldn't figure out how they were tracking in all the cgi with how shaky the camera was. U guys should do a video cause it looks like it would've been tough!
@@chrism45 I'm not saying this is the case, but you can eliminate parallax by matching the optical centre of your equipment to the centre of your tripod. This is how parallax is eliminated for panoramic photography, for example.
I think they tracked the camera movement by detecting certain points from the enviroment and used them as reference to place/move the characters, as seen on these behind the camera. Also, it helps that at certain points the camera aims up, so they could recreate most of the stuff easily. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I7DhNvfVgsc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I7DhNvfVgsc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-taqkR_kw31w.html I hope any of thse helps, there was another behind the scene i wasn't able to find where they talked more in-depth about the monster itself.
As a horseman here's a little info on that horse fall. Old School Hollywood was not kind or ethical in its treatment of animals. What you are witnessing here is some pretty serious animal abuse by today's standards. back then horses were not trained to fall like you see today. A horse can't fall safely at great speed - check the difference between the training video and the footage. A leg is being pulled from under them by a wire - or they are hitting a wire (usually taught piano wire). The horses might get away with a shock and a few bumps and bruises - they may injure themselves and require euthanasia (think like a racehorse). Doesn't need to be a a bone fracture (most common in racing), damage to a joint, tendon, ligament or a multitude of other things would mean euthanasia. This was the olden days. Better get the shot - and if the horse survives good - if not, well we got the shot. Don't whitewash the fact that these animals suffered for entertainment purposes though. A stuntman chooses to be here - none of those horses had a say in what happened to them. If you want more info on this - brandon@bmchorsemanship.com
And that's where the "No animals were harmed in the making of this film" certification by the American Humane Association comes from: when they finally stopped doing it.
Yeah they really played this down in the video. I was sitting here like, yeah no that horse definitely was not trained to fall and had no say in when it happened.
Yeah I was surprised they didn’t know that a lot of horses were often horribly abused in old movies. Often they would be in extreme pain before they were euthanized and by euthanized I mean a bullet to the brain.
10:13 if you watch closely at the zoomed in footage, you can see how the chandelier broke as he was still holding on to it. I guess it wasn't supposed to break =/
Jackie went to the Peking Opera school as a kid and was trained in Dance, Gymnastics and Stage Fighting. He said he never took a real Karate class but I assume he had more advanced stage fight training as his career got going. He sad he could never out kung fu a real martial artist so he made his performance as unusual and funny to give the audience a show
Watching this and his explanations of how they fall and spread out their body weight and things like that made me realize how similar these are to "bumping" in professional wrestling. I know it is a little outside your wheel house but I wonder if we could examine some wrestling falls and bumps from a stunt man point of view. It would be awesome to see how they react and see some of it. Wrestling stunt work is super impressive. Edit: Well, that happened. I typed this after the spreading out your body comments to spread out the damage from the fall and thought it would be a cool idea. Shortly after finished, Macho Man was on the screen making my request much less original. Lol. Anyways, I don't know if you guys read this but seeing some traditional stunt men react to wrestling falls and bumps (good and bad) would be pretty awesome.
Future stunt reacts I’d love to see: Kill Bill Vol.1 the Crazy 88’s sequence Game of Thrones: Battle of the Bastards The Witcher: The Blaviken sequence The Mandalorian: the series as a whole
I believe the covered part of "legend of the drunken master" and i was surprised they didn't talk about jackie getting his hands burned up pretty bad from a stunt.
Omg Corridor, 'The Protector (2005)' was a film i've been searching for since I was a kid! Only remembering the spiral staircase scene, so great to see an analysis on this and thanks for the nostalgia!
I remember when it first came out, and thinking how great the animation, fur simulation, and everything looked. Now I'm curious to go back and re-watch, and see if it holds up
I've been wanting them to look at Disney's Dinosaur as well. I rewatched it recently and was pleasantly surprised, though my nostalgia for it may make me a tad biased.
My grandpa was a Western movie fanatic and was a cowboy from Stetson to spurs. He liked to point out how in the chase scenes, when the hero fired behind him at the bad guys and he joked that the safest place was the back the guy in the back always would be hit. I miss watching Westerns with him
This was IINTEEENSE! Watching this gave me a touch of anxiety at times, especially the large falls or the old wild west stunts. I am very happy that stunts are relatively safer for people to pull off today, at least in some parts of the world. Great commentary and insight, as well as edits and choices for such amazing stunts. Another awesome video!
My favorite Jackie Chan stunt has to be his scene in The Karate Kid (2010) reboot. I just love that scene and it shows that he is willing to fight fair without even throwing a single punch.
