THe Waterworld Stunt Show has LONG been my favorite. Sitting in the RIGHT spot for the plane to shoot out TOWARD you is THE most thrilling experience ever.
Such a fantastic show. The performers are always top notch and even though the show hasnt changed since the 90's, its still such a rush to watch it live!
Well, there were a few changes, especially to the overall structure of the show. For example, the seaplane crash originally happened much earlier (at the scene where the deacon shoots the mariner with the bazooka)
Ok question for you! That plane at the end I NEED TO KNOW how do you get it back into place? How is it launched with such precision everytime and has it ever failed? If so what are the contingency plans for a failure in the show itself? Does the script change at all? Do the actors get to improve at all?
Originally, at 21:27 when she get hit into the swing it’s meant to go on its own (so she would be separated from the fight). However, there wasn’t enough force when she fell in and she even got up and looked concerned that it wasn’t moving. So it’s a good move that the evil guy (sorry can’t remember his name) noticed this and pushed her while improvising a funny line.
My cousin and I saw this show for the first time today and absolutely LOVED it!!!! We actually saw it TWICE cause we loved it the first time. The second time we went there was one point at the start where the guy was telling people to sit down and I said to my cousin “Yo watch this.” I stood up and shouted at the guy with the water pistol to hit me not thinking he was gonna do it and he ended up blasting me with the water and I was completely drenched by the end of it and we were FREEZING! But it was 10/10 action packed and fun!
I like how they have a pre-show with those three guys playing around with the crowd, getting them emotional invested in them… And then they get killed off in the show.
Would I get to learn from these guys because I’m actually interested to do some stunts because Im from Hawaii and I want to do stunts for TV shows in Hawaii like Magnum P.I so I was hoping maybe this could help me out by watching them
Bummer they have removed some of the stunt guys from this act. When the plane crashes they used to have 2-3 guys run or jump off the tower while the plane crashed...now its just 2 actors visible....feels so empty.
I’m actually interested in doing stunts and I was thinking if watching this could help me out plus I’m an extras cast right now on Magnum P.I and I wanted to move it up so I want to do stunts for like roles that I see that are stunts so I was gonna hope that this could help me out because I’m interested to do this that’s why too
How they managed to turn one of the most mediocre movies into one of the best live stunt shows, I’ll never know… but man has this always been a treat for stunt and practical effects nerds
Soooooo when did they remove the plane scene where the DeHavilland Beaver comes flying over the wall and lands in the pool? Cause I vividly remember that happening in the show
