God, it's awesome
0:00
And it just also makes me always think about the every single time I pass a building with a slam, I'm like
0:04
I wonder if I could skateboard down that. And I don't even know how to skateboard. We are going to be ranking the top five craziest movie stunts
0:13
Craziest movie stunts. That were completely real. Now, there is already a list over at ranker.com
0:17
where tens of thousands of people have already voted. So we're going to be comparing our list with the general public's list
0:23
throughout this whole episode and whatnot. You guys know the drill. You've seen the show before
0:27
What's your number five? My number five junkies number three the steamboat bill the house
0:33
Falling on top of nobody like makes it through the window thing. Yeah Buster Keaton Buster Keaton
0:37
I like this one just because it feels iconic It's just not really real, but it's so cool that they were like, okay
0:44
We have to do this perfectly or this guy's saying squished now I feel like movie stunts are so like we're just not gonna really do it because there's so much liability
0:52
There's so much liability insurance companies and budgets and whatnot Back then they were like, just do it
0:58
My number five was actually also number three. I think what makes it most impressive for me as well is the fact that if you're watching it
1:07
he is acting the entire time. Beforehand, he's doing like a, what, why I oughta
1:11
And then it like, nearly kills him. And he just stays in character and is like, who, me
1:16
Like, it's just, it's amazing. I think that is the most iconic stunt of all time
1:20
Just because the more you think about it, the more you're like, he would have died if it was off by an inch
1:24
Yeah, literally. Crazy. You can just type in Buster Keaton's greatest stunts, and there's so many things where it's like
1:29
that would have killed you if you did not nail it. What's your number four
1:33
My number four is record number one. Jackie Chan sliding down the skyscraper, and who am I
1:37
He's just impressive all around. He literally is just sliding down this building. Yeah
1:41
Which was the perfect building for the stunt, because it's like an angled building. And it one of those buildings too that the amount of times you thought in your head as you driving by like I wonder if you could slide down Yes and it like he just did it Yeah And it just
1:56
What? But yeah, what I like, another thing I really liked about this stunt was the scene they showed was kind of a really long action sequence
2:06
because they were like, we have to show the whole thing. Yeah. Because normally in like movies, they're like, oh, he slid down this and it took like five seconds for him to slide down. Yeah
2:13
They had a minute long scene of him just like, kind of like, down
2:17
There's no nets, there's no wires. He just did this thing. If he did it wrong, he was going to fall off a skyscraper
2:23
There's a recurring theme of certain actors on this list. Jackie Chan, Buster Keaton, and Tom Cruise
2:30
seem to be the holy trinity of actor stuntmen. Like, half the sense of those three
2:35
OK, so my number four was Ranker's number seven. And it was the damn bungee jump in GoldenEye
2:42
That's my number three. That's your number three. I like read the whole backstory of it and all and how like the guy who did this stunt off of this dam
2:49
It was 720 feet for a bungee jump. That's so far. I always say I would much rather skydive than bungee jump
2:58
I don't trust bungee jumping. I hate it. I totally agree. It's so scary
3:02
I feel like you're going to hit something. I went for the rope snaps. I don't know. There's just too many things. It's insane
3:07
I hate it. Yeah. That's honestly why I put that there too is like for me that's one of the scariest things
3:12
Yeah. I could ever, you could ever do it. Yeah, that's my number four. That's your number three. Okay
3:16
so my number three is another James Bond movie. It's Rangler's number 10. It's Live and Let Die
3:22
The Crocodile Escape. This one is another one where it's like, I can't believe that this is
3:27
actually real. I would have never assumed that was real. It was so unnecessary for that to be real
3:32
It was so unnecessary and it so fakeable Basically in the movie James Bond has a run across a pond with crocodiles and he does it by running over like uses the crocodiles step This is true This actually happened
3:46
It wasn't the James Bond actor. It was the guy who owned the crocodile farm
3:52
and I read, like, a whole article about it. It was the guy who owned the farm. He had never done that before
3:57
This was his first movie stunt, obviously, because he'd never been in a movie before. The first take, he kept on missing
4:03
and the more takes he did, the more the crocodiles, anticipated that he was gonna do it
4:07
And you can see, they snap up. They start, like, the second he's about to step on them
4:12
moving and snapping up, trying to, like, catch him. Yeah. It's hilarious that that was real
4:16
because it was just so unnecessary. And crocodiles actually scare me more than any other
4:21
out of them by far. Oh, yeah, they're crazy. What's your number two? My number two is number five on Raker.com
4:26
It's the Tom Cruise plane stunt in Mission Impossible. Again, that's one of those ones, they didn't really need to do it
4:32
but because Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, he went ahead and Tom Cruise and jumped on the plane
4:37
I just feel like that shouldn't be a thing that people can actually do. It's to hold on to the side of a plane in the scene
4:42
It's like he holds on. Obviously, he's strapped in and stuff for the stunt. But it's like, just the wind force on that
4:48
it's like anything can go wrong. This is another one, like the crocodile one, where I just assume that it's fake
4:53
You would never believe Tom Cruise is actually hanging off the side of the plane. He actually is hanging off the side of this plane
4:58
Feeling the force of the wind hit me. I'm actually scared of this
5:02
You would assume it's like, here's a green screen and he's on a plane on hydraulics
5:05
and it's moving up like this. You can basically make it look the same. I know
5:09
Goddamn, Tom Cruise really is insane. He really is insane. I honestly feel like he did it for bragging rights
5:14
I think 100%. I feel like that's why he always does it. Yeah. So he can be like, yeah, do my own stunts
5:18
It's so easy to not do that. It's so easy to not do it, but it's insane
5:22
and I would never, ever do that. Anyways, what's your number two? My number two is you already done this it was Ranker number one it the skyscraper slide with Jackie Chan It like you said it just so insane It so long he going down the skyscraper And it
5:36
another one of those where it's like Buster Keaton, where it's like, he's such a good actor
5:41
even while he's doing this, arguably the most dangerous stunt ever, there's a certain point where he literally stands himself up
5:46
and is kind of doing his comedian Jackie Chan tripping down the thing. He makes it funny
5:52
God, it's awesome. And it just also makes me always think about it every single time I pass a building with a slant I'm like I wonder if I can skateboard down there
5:58
and I don't even know how to skateboard what's your number one? my number one was ranked as number 20 from the movie stagecoach
6:05
they did this stunt where it's like a horse and buggy thing
6:10
it's a chase scene it's a cowboys Native American movie sort of thing
6:13
someone jumps onto the stagecoach so there's like six horses and the guy jumps on and he's trying to steal it get to the cart whatever
6:22
One of the cowboys shoots at him, and he falls between the horses, and the stagecoach goes over him
6:29
All six horses run past him, and the stagecoach goes over him
6:33
Because it's like, you can get trampled to death. By the horses and the stagecoach
6:37
And the stagecoach. But they figured out that if you get the horses to go fast enough, they end up in a straight line
6:43
So if you fall straight between them, like he did, no horses touch you, and the cart goes right over
6:48
But then you're falling with it going really fast, too. Yes. So then you can get caught
6:52
But he pulled it off. And it was like a 1939 movie
6:56
That one of shows wasn't a thing. They're like, whatever. Like, you think you can do it? OK
7:00
God, you must feel so alive when you finish that. Oh my god, yeah
7:04
My number one was Ranker's number five. I think it was your number three. It's the Mission Impossible plane one
7:08
That's another thing, too, where you're, whenever you're on a plane, you're like, I wonder how long I could last standing on the outside
7:13
Like, he just, and he does it. And he does it. And it's not even just that it's a plane. It's one of those planes with the propeller things, the big ones. Yeah
7:19
That makes you think, like, you're just going to get to captain. Yeah
