Also love how he takes on both roles so great. Speaking out and at length about his experience while being a guest, and also sitting back to allow other guests to tell their stories and supporting them when necessary. Hes top notch for a reason.

He IS the best!

This comment has been true for nearly ten episodes and yet every single video there's someone who posts almost word for word this same sentiment. I call dibs for posting this next week guys, I need these fake internet points really badly to feed my family!

Hes that best friend a lot of us have that can just randomly walk in the house and its completely normal 😆

@@W4TH3JE5U5 It was probably me. I've been a Gui stan since he showed up. He's just a cool dude.

Yep, I assumed it was all CG, especially with the wonky physics.

Its all about giving the director options though. For that movie the broken physics make sense, its just a shame they didn't realize that from the start and spare the stunt guys potential injuries.

@@jasonblalock4429 Though since it's supposed to be literally in a video game, job well done I'd say.

Not job well done. Needless danger and injury. That shot should have been full CGI if they’re gonna make it look so artificial in the end. Poor direction.

@@mnoir7257 They often don't know how it's going to be in the end. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20, but when you've got a bluckbuster movie to shoot and bring to the world, you want your options. Also, a stunt person can get injured walking down some stairs. It's part of the job. It does suck that it happened how it did in that stunt though.

breaking leg, getting knock down all in one scene.. damn

@AgirlnamedMichael The amount of money that actors demand these days is absolutely obscene. 1000s of people work on a movie and bust their ass for nothing while RDJ makes some quips and walks away with tens of millions

@AgirlnamedMichael the people breaking feet and getting knocked out are the ones making him look good enough to be worth seeing.

@@Vivi2372 yeah it's kinda crazy because especially these days an action star is probably more replaceable than a good stunt team

@AgirlnamedMichael Yeah but would those actors be famous if their characters never did any stunts? A lot of these tough guy actors like Hemsworth would definitely not be as famous.

They actually have a similar kind of episode recently featuring Joel Haver. It's called "Hollywood stuntman meets the guy who stole his job" on the corridor channel

They aren’t making Mythbusters anymore, so Buster would be available.

@@mrhax4464 No, Buster got vaporized by a rocket sled...

The end of Don’t Torture a Duckling has the most entertaining dummy fall ever filmed.

You think they could try to get Buster to react with them?

MY buddy who is a roto master up in Vancouver is always singing the praises of the stunt crews.

Especially stuntwomen. Cause this show really highlighted that most of them wear skimpy outfits. So there's not a lot of ways to wear protective gear. I'm glad it's starting to change

It's that old Movie Magic. But the magic is what happens before the cameras and how you don't get to see how they trick you. But like so many things there's just that much you can do by faking it. A fall is a fall, even if there's padding on the ground. You have to decide just how much you want that shot and what it has to look like. Can you use a dummy? It's the safest but give you the least control. It can look amazing, but most of the time arms and legs doesn't move right, and it's to easy to see that it's a dummy. Do you have to show the entire fall in one shot, or can it be broken up into three or four simpler shots with less risk? Often the viewer won't even think about two cuts during a fall. The see the start, cut to the middle of the fall, cut to the stunt man, men or women hitting the ground and we are so conditioned that we see it as a one fall. But each can be made a lot safer than the full one take fall. It's all about risk management and knowing what works for the camera. The single take version, even if faked, is the most impressive, but also the hardest to make safe. As an audience I'm pretty insensitive to jump cuts. It's just something I've learned to live with. Some friends however get really upset when scenes are hacked up into confetti. With digital effects continuously improving some of the most dangerous stunts can be faked, keeping actors, stuntmen and the budget safe. But I have a feeling it also puts more pressure on the stunt crews. There's some status to being able to say that yea, that sequence, all practical.

The guests on this channel, yes. But I’ve met a few stuntmen and women that think they’re better than the actors even to the point they hate actors.

very true, and you'd assume it was the opposite. If every stuntman was a jerk then people would be more apt to throwing them off of buildings LOL!

No, but it is a requirement for being a guest on a KZfaq channel

@@dozer11 They do have a point, though....

How cool is it to as a stunt cordinator to let a stuntman working for you do 2 crazy stunts with a broken foot and him going uncondcious?

Yeah its nuts how he talks about it so casually too like I guess you get used to it but still

…. and the Academy still refuses to create a category that recognises the importance and significance of stunt teams and the stunt men and women that help sell major films.

Indeed, what a fucking legend this guy is :D

I'd hug Gui in a minute. He seems comfy

This makes no sense

@@The_Ostrich it makes the most sense

@@The_Ostrich they are the best buddies in real life they even swap their forenames

He going to double both in the new Deadpool movie?

No, it's Hugh Rayman and Ryan Jacknolds!

Yep. Being manly isn't acting tough. It's being tough.

@@coder0xff Yes indeed. And being tough is not denying vulnerability but embracing it openly.

Yeah... not so sure that breaking your feet is healthy.

Bump+

I haven't seen this, but I'd guess that the dent was there and they edited it out in post and then after the hit it's the real thing with the dent

Sounds like a good one to break down on this show

@@michaelprice605 just search for "hell or highwater gas station scene", it's pretty easy to find on here. Even if it is that simple, I'd still love if they could break it down cause I'm sure they would also love just how seamlessly and effectively both stunts and vfx were used for that one scene

Jeannie Epper (Lynda Carter's WW double) is 81 and still out there. I bet she'd be an amazing guest.

I would love to see an episode dedicated to Yakima Kanute. An absolute legend of stunts in "action westerns" -- he also devised many of the rigs and devices that kept other stuntpeople of the day safe (or safer...), like breakaways for the "runaway horses dragging a stagecoach behind" trope.

Yeah that is one of them.

Yes! Bring the two brothers especially!

They really shouldn't have to break their bodies for our entertainment. It's not something to admire or respect. We're using people, brutalising them, all to make us entertained for an hour or two. There has got to be a better solution other than letting real people get destroyed with chronic pain

@@RedNymph234 trust me I'm on the same boat as you, but obviously it's what they have been doing for years and the industry won't change so easily sadly, I just wanted to pay my respects for them at least.

@@RedNymph234 It's not just for US to you know. a lot of them enjoy making movies and doing stunts as a way to create art. What we admire them for is the thought and engineering that goes to the stunts to make it as safe as possible while also making it cool and tell the story. What we need to improve upon is the safety, not put them out of the job.

@@RedNymph234 We still have boxing and ufc around. These are every more direct examples of watching people hurt each other for our entertainment.

Right?Lmao

I just commented about that. Great scene.

yeah all their "react" shows (Stuntment, VFX Artist, Animator) they do such a great job of just letting the guest talk and share their insight, I'm sure if you looked at the raw footage there's more of Nico/Gui/Whoever asking questions that is just getting edited out to keep the focus on the guest

I would love to see them break down the Narnia movies. Those were my childhood right there!

Craft Services React!

Gaffers react!

The sauna fight in Eastern Promises needs to be covered (maybe it has been & I forgot)

He looks high af lol
