Top 5 Dangerous Stunts in Hollywood History

Top 5 Most Dangerous Stunts in Hollywood History JORDAN BROWN

007 Goldeneye (1995) - Dam Jump - Director Martin Campbell wanted to come up with something big that could rival the 1977 Bond movie Spy Who Loved Me - In the 1977 they did a one take ski shot that completely captivated Campbell - Stunt actor Wayne Michaels preformed the jump in a single shot just like in The Spy Who Loved Me

The Dark Knight (2008) Truck Flip - Christopher Nolan's take on the classic film series Batman rebooted the series and gave it a fresh but dark take.

- Nolan was inspired by Michael Mann's 1995 movie Heat - Nolan shot the stunt in downtown Chicago where they virtically flipped a massive 18 wheeler.

- They pulled the shot off with only one run through - The stunt was preformed by stuntman Jim Wilkey

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) - Wing suiting - Michael Bay's third transformer series - The final battle nearing the end of the movie was one of the most epic - In the midst of the helicopters being blown up, they're forced to make the jump from the helicopter and wing suit all the way down to the ground - The entire scene was shot with real people flying around in real wing suits

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Truck Drag - Harrison Ford's fight sequence in Raiders of the Lost Ark is considered a classic - Ford's character has a brawl towards the end of the movie where he ends up under the chasis of a truck and dragged - Stunt was preformed by Terry Leonard, while the truck was driven by stunt driver Glen Randell Jr. a close friend of Leonard.

- For the stunt a small safety ditch was dug for the truck to drive over long with the tires of the truck being elevated.

Mission Impossible: Fall Out (2019) Helicopter Chase - Actor Tom Cruise is not shy to preforming his own stunts.

- For this MI movie they wanted to do something bigger and better that wasn't expected - The helicopter they used was only big enough for a camera rig and Cruise himself - Cruise obtained his helicopter licence just for the movie to preform the stunt
