My favorite 'gone wrong' stunt will always be Viggo Mortensen deflecting the dagger that was thrown at him in Fellowship of the Ring.

My favorite movie stunt that went sideways but made it in the film is from The Punisher in 2004. Thomas Jane was in a fight scene with Kevin Nash and was supposed to stab him with a trick knife. Due to reasons Jane didn't use the knife with a retractable blade but stabbed him with an actual fixed blade knife with a dull blade. All props to Nash for keeping in the scene until after cut was called and pulled the knife out. That was the cut that made it to the final film.

Viggo Mortensen breaking his foot while kicking a helmet during LOTR part 2 where he is trying to find Merry and Pippen and thinks he has discovered their dead bodies.

Love the thumbnail, Bradley Cooper becomes Simon Cowel 😂

"Steve you actually broke Stallones neck" Steve : "WHUT"

Thomas Jane accidentally plunging a REAL knife into Kevin Nash’s chest during their fight scene in “The Punisher”

This could have just been Jackie Chan movies. Rumble in the Bronx has a shot where he breaks his ankle for real.

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" had a helicopter landing go wrong. The helicopter actually hit the ground and wrecked live on camera, before bursting into flames, while all the cast ended up reacting to the crash. Fortunately the pilot jumped out safely and was unharmed, so it all stayed in the picture.

I'm not sure how much this qualifies, but i feel it worth mentioning that the hoverboard stunt incident wasn't the last time something went wrong with a stunt, but the result (kinda) stayed on screen. In Back to the Future part III, Michael J. Fox, Marty McFly himself, was nearly killed during the filming of the courthouse hanging scene. If Marty getting hanged looked a little too real, thats because it was. The safety line that was supposed to keep pressure off Michael J. Fox's neck failed, resulting in him being accidentally actually hanged. Fortunately, stunt director Walter Scott and director Robert Zemeckis realized something was wrong or Michael J. Fox's career could've had an early, and very tragic end.

Isla Fisher almost drowning in Now You See Me should be on this list.

In the wizard of oz the first appearance of the wicked witch of the west was practiced unfortunately it caused serious burns which meant Margaret Hamilton was to scared to redo the scene so the take in the film was the practice which is why you can also see the trapdoor she disappears into

What about the gladiator escape scene in Spartacus? Kirk Douglas is attacking Marcellus the leader of the guards in the kitchen area and was supposed to drown him in a large cauldron. However the timing was slightly off and Charles McGraw cracked his jaw on the iron pot. He was semi concious with a broken jaw for the rest of the scene as Kirk Douglas forced his head under the soup and that take was left in the finished film.

Brendan Fraiser: getting hanged for real in the mummy The director: wow what an actor it looks so believable

Back in 1924 Buster keaton broke his neck while falling uner a waterspout. not only is the take kept, he just took a few days off with headaches and then carried on filming, not realising until years later his neck had been broken.

Stunt men and women are so highly respected

I think that Jim Caviezel getting struck by lightning was even worse than the whipping. He almost died making that movie!

I think that one extra that smacked his face on the ground in Tora, Tora, Tora was injured. That was pretty brutal.

Surprised there are no Jackie Chan stunts on this list. He’s had so many go wrong, and I’m sure that at least some of them have made it into the final films….

Moviemaking can be straight up a gladiator sport, I feel like this is something that needs to be talked about

Bradly Cooper in a bag looks like Simon Cowell😂

And every Jackie Chan stunt ever performed

I've never seen someone crawl for their life so fast before. (Tora, tora, tora)

Nice work putting the names of the stunt professionals in the video. 👏👏👏

Trojan races in Ben Hur was the gnarliest. You watch the man die.

Former actor (and LIVE fight performer/choreographer) here. I wish more people understood just how much real human beings go through in order to produce entertaining, dramatically powerful scenes in films. Unfortunately, most simply think it's all a walk in the park, with bottles of champagne, adoration from fans, and luxury at every turn. *HA*. Think again, Buster Keaton.

This is almost as fun as watching the “Strike Back” How- to videos! The show didn’t have a big budget. The lead actors were doing all the stunts themselves… and since most of the time they weren’t filming in the US (or anywhere else with sane safety rules)… it’s honestly surprising that nobody died 😮 or was permanently injured.

How about Ben Hurr? I mean that stunt guy died and it is still in the movie.

Best bit in the spy who shagged me is when Bond (Roger Moore) leaves the cabin after his oats and the honey in the bunny sighs "But James I need you" And he replies " So does England" Greatest living Englishman.

No mention of the one from XXX where the stuntman actually died from hitting his head on the bridge? Granted you don't see the impact, because that wasn't supposed to happen, but the rest of the stunt is in the film as it was meant to be.

How could you not add the scene in Lethal Weapon 2 where Jenette Goldstein's character dies from an explosion at on her diving board. When the explosive charge was triggerd before the stunt actress jumped and she was blown off the diving board. Apparently she was pregnant and almost died.

Didn't Michael J Fox almost get hanged on Back to the Future 3, too?

Pretty sure David Spade said he hit Chris Farley with the wrong side of the cut 2x4 in the scene on the side of the road in Tommy Boy. Not as bad as some of the mistakes shown in this video but still...

In the Movie The Right Stuff they depicted Chuck Yeager's flight in the NF-104 (in real life it was not a spur of the moment flight but had been fully planed out) In the real life event this was a flight above the Kármán line which is the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space. Practically it is the point where the density of the air is so low that standard flight controls are no longer effective. On this flight the NF-105 was equipped with a large rocket engine and attitude control jets to control the airplane in space. A malfunction in this system caused the airplane to reenter at a wonky angle and the NF-104 never became controllable. Yeager ejected but a bit of burning rocket fuel got into his space suit somehow causing a nasty burn. He landed safely and recovered but in the movie you can see the stuntman trailing smoke struggling, depicting Yeager's attempt to get the rocket fuel out of his suit. In this scene the stunt man's parachute failed to open and he was killed.

IMHO The beginning of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" during the battle in the garden. The helicopter's tail clips the ground and spins out of control was not in the script. ✌🍅

It would be nice if the editor would highlight the shot that the narrator is talking about instead of putting a bunch of clips and leaving it to the audience to guess which one is being talked about

Wasn't the "I'm walking here" line also a result of a random member of the public driving into a guerrilla filmed scene?

I love that the chapter heading is "Tom Cruise breaks his uncle." That would indeed be a stunt that went very wrong.

I guess it doesn't count because 'running a bit' isn't really a stunt, but this list deserves an honorable mention of Daryl Hannah. There's a moment in Blade Runner where Pris slides into a parked car and her arm goes through the window. This broke her fucking elbow in eight places, *but she still finished the take.* Blew my mind when I learned that. There ought to be a special Oscar for most impressive moment of not breaking character.

The Ghostrider scene definitely looks CGI. Not the visor hit but a split second after when he hits the ground. 99.99% that part is CGI. Still a great shot though and the visor break looks perfect.

Didn't Stallone get seriously injured in a scene in Rocky IV when Dolph Lundgren hit him so hard in the chest his heart swelled up? I had never seen the Mad Max films until about three years ago but I have to admit aMad Max 2 is my favourite. The stunts are insane and it's got a great plot.

Bradley Cooper in a plastic bag is Simon Cowell, Who would have guessed.

Video idea: 10 characters killed offscreen that deserved onscreen deaths

I always thought that Mad Max: Road Warrior stunt was a well planned one, but knowing that it wasn't, and seeing him fly through the air like that 😨, that would be scary af, and... !!!OUCH!!!

Anyone see the thumbnail?.... Bradley Cooper looks like he threw on the plastic bag over his head and suddenly became Simon from AGT 😂

There were way too many mistakes made on the Passion set. I think not questioning Mel's sanity would be playing devils advocate.

Why does Bradley Cooper turn into Simon Cowell when he puts a plastic bag on over his head in the thumbnail?

"The Man From Hong Kong" has George Lazenby (former James Bond) in a fight scene that sets his jacket on fire. That was the planned part, but the stunt goes wrong when he desperately tries to get the damn thing off and couldn't, and George sustained 2nd degree burns before he got loose.

Surely the stuntman breaking his leg for real trying to jump over the bus in the opening scene of "Hot Rod" would qualify?

There should be an Oscar's category for choreography.

I always thought it was that gnarly spear from Stone Cold that injured Stallone in The Expendables.🤔

I think Van Damme blinding a guy in Cyborg should qualify.

That thumbnail is disturbing. Bradley Cooper puts a plastic bag on his head and turns into Simon Cowell.

The scene in the crow...

For this I liked the opening from A Knights Tale. Where it tells the audience what jousting is all about. It seems to simply show a knight being unhorsed, but is in fact Heath Ledger's stuntman being knocked out while filming a scene that takes place later on. Apparently it was just too good of a shot to not put in the movie.

Was the tragic helicopter crash scene in the Twilight Zone movie that led to the death of 3 people not kept in the movie ?

you do see the stunt girl fall in back to the future 2, its in the clip you showed, thats not a dummy.7:37

Uhhhh, how is Vic Morrow and two kids being decapitated in Twilight Zone not #1!?

Hey WhatCulture - you do know that the time stamp for the Mission Impossible one says "Tom Cruise breaks his *_uncle",_* right...?

If you watch the Back to the Future one, you do see her fall on the outside of the building from the interior shot @7:39

That is the second neck incident Austin has been involved with.

They do this on purpose. It's an unwritten rule that if someone gets injured during a stunt that's the take they use because if they don't, they got injured for nothing. Plus its the most realistic one.... because the injury was real

"Charge of the Rohirrim" from "Return of the King". One of the Riders feet gets caught in a stirrup, and he's dragged along. And it ISN'T one of the CGI Riders either. The story of it is on one of the Special Features on the Extended Edition dvd.

Where is all of Jackie Chan's failed stunts that made it into the movies?

What? No Police Story where the stunt performers crash through the windscreen of a bus onto the road when they were supposed to land on the parked cars instead?

Firestorm a parachute doesn’t open. Stuntman dies, they used it in the film and got sued by the stuntman’s family.

I'd say Brandon Lee in the crow should have been number 1..

The 1st Mad Max has another properly scary motorcycle accident that was not intentional. A red helmet guy in a motorcycle gang gets forced off his bike during a chase and while tumbling down the road, in slow motion, another bike comes up and smacks him in the helmet with its tire. It is at the 1 hr & 20 minute mark.

Dunno’. This channel I used to feel like ten mates from the north east with a lot more on screen editorial content. Has it been sold or something?

5:23 Why did Bradley Cooper with a bag over his head look like Simon Cowell?

There's a scene in The Order of the Black Eagle where stuntman Steve Winegard gets his head run over by an ATV. Not a great movie, great scene! There's an interview with him about it.

I always wondered how they did that stunt in Road Warrior. It looked so real, but I thought there's no way it could be because that would smash the guy's legs. I guess it looked so real because it was.

If I was a stunt person and was seriously injured and it didnt end up in the movie, I'd be pissed.

Griff Tannen? Did I hear that right?

You dont recover from a broken ankle in 7 weeks.

How about the original "Gone in Sixty Seconds" There were more accidents that weren't part of the script than those that were.

Don't forget the Hanging Scene in BttF III. He was not just acting when he was clawing at the rope around his neck. Yikes.

Some of these I knew (the Back to the Future 2 one is pretty famous). Others I had never heard of. They look so good that you can see why the director kept them in. I mean, why waste a good shot, especially if the stunt person is up for it being kept in. I think the Stallone one is the best considering he was a) the one hurt, and b) the director.

Yeah #1 sounds like a story they would tell to promote the movie.

Blues Brothers mall scene and the finally

No permits, no problem. Just race through a major city on crowded streets. What a time for cinema. Not to come off as too curmudgeon, kiddos your filmmakers have no huevos. Nothing but safe, cookie cutter remakes, sequels, franchises and universes.

Cheryl wheeler hitting the ground is in fact shown in back to the future 2. seen from the interior shot showing the doors just behind biff as he crashes through the door. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itGpf9GI0pfNc6c.html at 2:45-2:46

Stone Cold would murder Stallone irl

An Adam from Whatculture????

I just watched DJANGO and during “the raid” scene one of the riders falls off of his horse while they are going down the hill, FULL SPEED in a stampede of horses in the dark. wondering if he was ok🙏

Jackie Chan movies could easily fill 1-10

Cooper was not suffocating 🙄

Bradley Cooper turned into simon Cowell

Biff* not Griff lol

Bradley cooper looks like simon Cowell 'in the bag' . so weird.

Cruel summer is blatantly obvious during the videos

Burnt forgetable?

Gotta say something about it at this point. I've no clue why it drives me mad - but your pronunciation of "Romero" (add "albeit")... grrr. Maybe it's how often it's said. Still love ya, Tyler. ❤ I agree with you mote often than not.

👍🏿

Before watching the video: Isla Fisher nearly drowning to death in Now You See Me Edit: Aww. You didn’t mention it. 10:08: Ironic

No Jackie Chan....this is a poor list.

If it works it works i guess😅😅😅😅

Getting flogged just a fraction of what Jesus experienced probably increased his faith, since he was was already a Christian.

Only Bradley Cooper could suffocate himself with a plastic bag. What a dolt.

“Boogie” or “buggy”?

Whenever a stunt performer is injured, the take is in the movie, unless it’s unusable. It’s a way to pay tribute to their dedication. If someone dies however, the take doesn’t make it (thankfully!).
