audiences saw were shots of soaring adrenaline. In fact, most of them were taken by professional stunts who risked their lives. Although there must be safety precautions at the scene, they were injured. The odds are still very high, sometimes even fatal. For example, stuntman John Bernanke unfortunately left on the set of The Walking Dead.
Many people think that professional stand-in actors have not received the recognition they deserve. Although many Hollywood actors are praised for taking action scenes in person, many actors can only rely on stand-ins to help them. .
also has a lot of big names in Hollywood publicly stated that they did use doubles and emphasized the importance of stuntmen.
Then why can't they make action scenes by themselves? Let's take a look.
Ryan Reynolds
"Deadpool" is a movie that balances comedy and action movies. This is also due to Ryan's natural sportsmanship, handsome appearance and smart mind. After watching "Wolverine 1" After that, many people still had doubts about him. It was not until later that he starred in the independent film "Deadpool", which started his second career.
Deadpool’s mouth is always full of energy, but his battle scenes are also very fierce. Some staff in the film crew even joked that this role is basically Ryan himself. This also proved that he was born to play Deadpool.
is different from Deadpool in that Ryan does not have the ability to regenerate. Because of the serious injuries in the previous filming, he could not take action in action. Therefore, he had to find a substitute for health problems. When
was filming the movie "Hiding Place", he had several fractures on his body. That was the seventh time he went to see an orthopedic doctor that year. The doctor told him that he had better not make action scenes in person. Stunt actors are better.
In order to be healthy, the doctor's orders must be listened to, so Ryan never took action in action scenes again. Instead, he recruited four stuntmen who were similar in body and temperament to form a team to help him.
Danny Tejo
When an actor decides to take a stunt by himself, he actually has a sense of prestige, but such bold people are not common, and most people still choose to act as a stand-in.
However, many people will not say anything even if they use a substitute, except that they can’t shoot because of an injury, they are basically silent, except for Danny. Although he is a lightweight and heavyweight double champion, but He will also use a substitute.
His reason for using a stuntman is indeed very reasonable, because in his opinion, if he gets injured while filming an action scene, it will affect the entire filming cycle of the film. The example he cited is Tom Cruise, I sprained my ankle while shooting Mission Impossible, and as a result, the filming progress of the entire movie was delayed by two months.
If the professional stuntman is injured, he will feel very sorry and sorry, but the crew only finds another tall Mexican as a stand-in, and puts some fake beards on the opponent’s face, and the movie can still be shot normally. , But if he himself is injured, the whole movie may be affected.
seems possible in this way, and the use of doubles is also a clear decision.
Brandon Fraser
Brandon is another actor who was unable to make action movies in person because of injuries, and his injuries were even more serious. In the 90s, popular movies such as "The Mummy" made him a success. Many girls and some boys have the brave, handsome and first-rate Prince Charming.
But he was a little too hasty, and kept taking on the next movie after another. The action scenes and special effects were also performed by himself, and finally he completely broke his body.
After "The Mummy 3", he kept a low profile for almost 10 years, basically just doing some intermittent guest appearances and dubbing work. The few next movies are mostly dramas, even if there are some action scenes, they are made by substitutes. of.
Then where did he go? And why did you use doubles later?
is not going to enjoy life freely. He spent painful years under the surgeon’s scalpel. He underwent many operations, including some operations to reduce the pressure on the spine and repair the vocal cords, and some similar to knee replacements. He later revealed to the public,I received seven years of treatment inside and out.
Drew Barrymore
Drew is one of the best child stars in Hollywood. Romance films, horror films and drama films can also be shot. The action scenes in "Girls in the Thunderbolt" make people feel that this girl is so handsome!
is just now that she will no longer take stunts in person. This is excusable.
is not very young, but she has been in the show business for decades, but she doesn’t feel bored. She is still diligent. But the decision to insist on using a double in the action scene happened after a terrible thing happened.
When she was filming the American drama "Taste of a Town", she played a scene where she jumped onto a person's back and attacked him, but an accident happened during rehearsal. Drew fell from a height of six feet. When he came down, his head hit the concrete floor. Although there was no major trauma, it caused a concussion.
stayed in the hospital for two days because of the accident, and the filming of the entire drama was suspended. Although she returned to the set after a one-week rest to continue filming, the incident had a great impact and made her She will never do stunts by herself anymore, especially now that she has a child, she will definitely let a stuntman play instead of herself.
Katie Lotz
As a singer and actor Katie, she started her acting career in 2006, and then has very good roles in "Mad Men", "Legends of Tomorrow", "The Flash" and "Superwoman" .
In fact, she is a girl who loves sports and has strong agility coordination, so it is not difficult for her to do stunts herself, and she has also received various martial arts training and loves parkour.
Although most of her works were shot by herself, she also pointed out the danger of stunts, so she would still let her stand-in perform when appropriate. As an actor, it is basic professional ethics for
to play in person, but sometimes it is necessary to break the routine, even if there are many airbags and protective measures on the scene, it does not mean that there is no possibility of injury, despite Katie’s sports background Very well, in the early career, there was no serious injury, but bruises and so on are still very common, and as a beautiful actress, it is understandable to protect yourself.
Nathan Fillion
on the set of the movie "Out of the Tranquility", Nathan willingly hit his face on the hard glass floor. This shot was taken many times, shot and shot again, just to capture one Perfect close-up shot. After
took the sixth shot, the makeup artist noticed that his face was swollen due to the impact. Even the director of this film praised his enthusiasm and dedication. It can be seen that Nathan is actually a super dedicated actor who is not afraid to pay.
However, after 5 years, when filming "Ling Shu Miao Detective", he decided to let the stunt stuntman replace himself.
Because Nathan is a bit older at this time, and he suffered a knee injury before, leaving a lasting pain, and he has also cultivated a consciousness that the stuntman can only get the money and rely on it when he is on the stage. You can eat your own skills, and if every actor goes to the battle himself, the stuntman should be laid off.
