The Most Dangerous Movie Stunts of All Time

Shooting a movie isn’t always about saying your lines correctly and showing the right emotions. Most movies nowadays -especially action ones- are full of dangerous stunts that only certified professionals are allowed to even try them.

With today’s CGI technology you’d guess that this is a thing of the past, right? Well you’re wrong! If you don’t believe this be sure to check the most dangerous movie stuns of all time! You’ll be surprised!

20. Truck Flip, The Dark Knight (2008)

The stunt crew of the Batman movie wanted the iconic stunt to end up differently. The wanted the truck to flip upside down and even though this stunt was tested multiple times before the actual shooting the truck fell to the side and almost smashed in the nearby building… Luckily for all of the crew no one was injured and the scene turned out to be better than expected!

19. Flaming Coals, Drunken Master II (1994)

Jackie Chan may have been famous for his dangerous stunts but this one was one of the most dangerous ones of his career. In the movie, Flaming Coals, Drunken Master II, Jackie has to do a crab-walk on hot coals!

You can already feel the burn even by watching this scene… What’s more shocking though is that Jackie didn’t like the first take and decided to shoot this for a second time!

18. Corkscrew Car Jump, The Man With the Golden Gun (1974)

While not one of the best James Bond movies, the car jump scene in the movie “The Man With The Golden Gun”, is admittedly one of the most dangerous ones to happen in a James Bond movie that the director decided to enhance the scene with -then early- computer modeling in order to keep the stunt man safe.

17. The Cocktail Supreme, Jackass 3D (2010)

While Jackass movies aren’t exactly known for the safety of their stunts, there is one that surely crossed the line of what’s is considered “monitored enviroment”.

Jackass director decided to shoot a scene where Steve-O strapped himself in a chemical toilet that was shot in the air by 2 cranes much like a reverse bungee jumping… Typical unsafe Jackass stunts.
