Community Guidelines
- Be constructive. As a community this is place for discussion, things you liked, things you didn't like, any everything in between. Low effort comments don't add to the discussion.
- Be civil. Disagreements happen. Don't attack others. Take a moment and reconsider before you post an inflammatory comment in all caps.
- No spam. Please don't post spam, trolling or other low effort content. If you're a human and you saw something interesting or had an interesting thought, you're probably fine.
- Memes are allowed. We're a small community, feel free to post memes or similar content. Funny things are good. If it becomes a problem we can discuss changing the rules.
In addition like any community we follow the Lemmy.World content policy rules. In short, don't attack people or groups.
Spoiler Guidelines
- Be mindful when posting spoilers or spoiler content.
- If you're making a post put "(Spoilers)" at the start of your post.
- If your post is an image mark it as NSFW.
- If you're making a comment use the Lemmy spoilers markdown.
When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,
- For films, wait until it's been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
- For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.

Stop doing stunts if you aren’t a stuntperson. No one is impressed. You’re also putting stunt people out of work. And if you get seriously hurt or killed, the film could tank or be canceled and the next film might not be able to secure insurance.
Jackie Chan:
Good but also poor example.
He broke his leg filming a stunt (bad landing onto a boat). Filming stopped for two weeks and he had to film the remaining scenes after with a cast on his ankle.
He stopped doing major stunts after that because he realized it wasn't the right idea.
Didn't he start as a stunt actor for Bruce Lee?
Never heard that, cool if true.
He's still the star of the movie, though. So the risk of him getting injured or dying because of a stunt puts the future of the production in jeopardy, even if he has more skills than the typical action star.
Iirc Jackie became a famous movie star because of his stuntman work and owns a stuntman company
I think it was ~~Dwayne Johnson~~ Danny Trejo who said in an interview that he never does his stunts, for exactly the reasons given. The key point is also that if the actor performing a key role in the movie gets injured it'll cause at least delays, possibly worse. But it will affect literally hundreds of people just so s/he can feel like a macho for doing the dangerous thing.
A stunt person getting injured isn't just less likely (it's literally their job), it's also much less problematic for everyone else involved if it does happen.
Performing stunts yourself is pure ego.
Danny Trejo has said the same. It is taking work from someone trained to do this and risking the whole production.
Ahh you might be right, it might have been Danny Trejo who I had in mind. Updated my comment, thank you!
It's not either/or - a lot of actors take training for action roles seriously and they work closely with the stunt team to get the best coverage possible.
It is not that easy to define where "stunt" begins. If an actor tells me "I won't run down this alley, have the stunt person do it" I'm not gonna applaud him for being lazy. Actors doing small stunts is completely normal and should be. Big stunts of course should be done by professional stunt people.
James Marsters who played Spike on Buffy talked about this. He would do stunts he thought he could do and would benefit the scene. However if both feet come off the ground it's not him.
Big appreciation for stunt actors. Only Murders S4 has a lot to say about this!
