The more you watch making-of documentaries or listen to oral histories **produced decades after the production** the more you slowly realize that nearly every big action movie filmed in the 70's and 80's was a death trap.
every one of these oral histories/documentaries: "That shot looked incredibly dangerous." "Yeah, it's because there was very little planning, zero safety equipment, and we 'just' filmed it. People easily could have died. Let me describe the injuries that happened on set..."
@tvaziri This scene from the movie Used Cars (1980) is mind boggling
@tvaziri Have you forgotten about this? english.elpais.com/culture/2023-0…
@tvaziri And they absolutely rule because of it
@tvaziri OK, so you wouldn’t do those stunts… and your stance aligns with your profession… but you know what? There’s something to be said about cinema being bold, daring, fearless, unique (and a bit reckless, sure), not just safe, secure, homogenized; finished behind computer screens.
