I was the SFX floor supervisor for Ted lasso Season 2, you got it right about the wire work, we had a huge crane in and the stunt guy really landed in the dumpster, he was soo close to the edge we only did one take of it. I was going to have some air mortors in the skip to launch trash but I pulled them after testing due to safety concerns of the accuracy of his fall. So the little puff of dust was a little bit sprinkled on top and put in post. I've got some behind the scenes pics and videos if you guys want to see them? Love your stuff also!

Hi there. I was a grip trainee on the musketeers. I was standing on the roof of that set and had to keep an eye on the wires. It was a crazy rig to hold 2 to 3 actors together on wires and have them move all over this narrow-ish ladder room. The cables got tangles a lot. I had to watch out if it got out of hand. The stunt coordinator was the most hardcore dude i ever met. They had a bus full of stunt guys. They got hurt a lot and got exchanged straight away. One down a new one in. No mercy. That was a crazy shoot a long time ago. Thanks for the nostalgia trip ;) Greetings from luxembourg.

When Gui said "all 190 pounds" of a lion, I had to look it up, because there was no way lions only weigh 190. A female average 280, a male 420.

[@cenciende9401]

Meanwhile most people had to look it up because the literal rest of the world don't use dumb crap like imperial units.

[@modprog]

maybe Gui is a metric boy in secret, because 190kg would line up for a male lion.

[@jonmills6927]

190 lbs is just a kitten.

[@jamyangpelsang3099]

Turns out the reason why The Musketeer’s final fight is similar to that of Once Upon a Time in China is because The Musketeer’s fight choreographer Hung Yan-Yan aka Xiong Xin-Xin played one of the main characters in and stunt doubled for Jet Li in the Once Upon a Time in China series. So it was basically Hung Yan-Yan basically paying tribute to the very Hong Kong martial arts film that made him big.

[@Leprutz]

The scene in OUATIC1 is just epic. Kuddos to Tsui Hark, Yuen Woo Ping, Jet Li and Xiong Xin Xin, which is one of my favorite fight choreographer, but so underrated.

[@joethomas1775]

The movie Roar, had a young Melanie Griffith in it. Melanie was mauled by a lion during filming, and required plastic surgery. Griffith reportedly received 50 stitches to her face. It was feared she would lose an eye, but she recovered and was not disfigured. On another occasion, a lion grabbed her hair and wouldn't let go. That shot made it into the film.

[@lisah-p8474]

Melanie's mom Tippi Hedren (not Henderson like Nico said lol) had her leg broken by an elephant during filming as well. Because of course they had elephants too!! She was climbing on/off the elephant's back and started to slip and the elephant tried to help her with its trunk. It wrapped its trunk around her legs to catch her and squeezed too tight. Broke her ankle. Again, like Nico said not an attack. Very much the opposite! But overall the set was very reckless and haphazard.

[@Blewlongmun]

@@lisah-p8474 That elephant example weirdly sells the risk of wild animals more than the lions. Elephants have a stereotype for being kind and docile (atleast for people who don't actually see wild elephants) so the notion of a gentle giant actively trying to help and still breaking legs I feel is more intuitive. There's not an animals alive that doesn't kill; herbivores, cuddly, fluffy, and cute ones included.

[@NBSV1]

@@BlewlongmunPeople also don’t realize how strong animals can be. Most of the time they’re trained to be gentle, or aren’t trying that hard. But, get one using most of its strength and it’s amazing.

[@mc888l]

The stunt coordinator for The Musketeer is a Chinese actor and stuntman from Hong Kong who also worked on The Once Upon a Time in China movies. He actually played one of the main character's disciple named "Club Foot 7" in the movies...hence you can see the similarities between the stunts in both movies.

[@woutthielemans5073]

His name is,Hung Yan Yan and he doubled Jet Lee in that OUATIC fight because Jet had broken both ankles,jumping down from a,roof - an injury that plagued,him for years which is why he was doubled so much in his up to Hitman (1997). Hung Yan Yan deliberately copied that end fight in The Musketeer, even though it made no sense in a western context and the lead ‘actor’ was a talentless Calvin Klein underwear model.

[@aussiecountry9320]

That was a really good question, ive never even considered how they do it

[@dndbasement2370]

Selling the pain isnt hard really. Just act how you would in real life. Thats basically what gui said. People say JC is comical in his doings but its what one would do in real life. Rubbing where it hurts. Weird face because of a hit to the jaw or nose. All thing a regular human being does when they get hurt. All of it has a single purpose to lessen the pain. What hollywood does that really never happen in real life are 3 minutes long fast fights. In real life its more like 2 to 5 moves, break, rinse and repeat until an opening.

[@mostlyokay]

@@dndbasement2370 Right! Just act how you would in real life. That's not hard at all, hence why everyone could be a world-renowned actor if they just felt like it

I'm always excited when people talk about the Last Samurai. The film is pure eye candy and has a lot of emotional weight to it. The music is excellent, the acting is awesome, and the stuntwork is spectacular. I almost wish you guys would've shown at least part of the forest battle, ninja battle, or final stand. I think the final battle included over 500 extras with guns and melee weapons in broad daylight instead of during rain or at night, making the whole battle feel more visceral and alive than most battle scenes.

Japan has had a thriving movie industry for a hundred years there's some really amazing movies out there. If you ask Martin Scorsese where he got his idea's he'll start talking about Akira Kurosawa. Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Ran, Yojimbo, Throne of Blood, there's so many great movies. And that's just the best director, It's like a whole genre of Japanese film. If anyone hasn't already, go watch the original Seven Samurai from 1954. Get some popcorn, put your phone away, dim the lights, clear 3 hours 24 minutes on your schedule and watch Seven Samurai. Toshiro Mifune alone makes it worth the time.

Can you please look at some of the James Bond movies? Maybe a James Bond episode? There’s some crazy stuff that I don’t think I’ve seen you guys react to yet. The Tanker Chase in Casino Royale (2006) has some really cool stuff. My favourite probably being when Bond leaps off the truck onto the ground and rolls out of the way of another truck just in time. Seeing if and where VFX may have been used would be cool too. The whole opening sequence of Skyfall (2012). The leap off the bridge in No Time To Die (2021). I read it was a 150 foot leap. The Crocodile Farm Escape and the Boat Jump in Live and Let Die (1973) The Car Jump in The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) The ski jump from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) The Airplane Heist from License to Kill (1989) Thank you so much for making Stuntmen Reacts!

You guys talked about the Musketeer! I saw that movie like 3 times in theaters. Can’t find it anywhere physically or digitally so I started to think it wasn’t real and just a fever dream

[@dooka008]

Love to see Gui back! Here's to more stuntmen react soon

[@RainyDayForge]

When the trailer for Last Samurai played in the theatre, a lot of the audience laughed out loud when Tom Cruise appeared. It’s an underrated film. It was released when there was a bit too much tomfoolery.

[@MaaZeus]

Yeah the trailer did not exactly make it clear that the title Last Samurai is not about Tom Cruises character, which is probably whay a lot of people thought at first and found it hilarious. 😅 But I did go to see it in theater and now it is one of my favourite movies ever.

[@RainyDayForge]

@@MaaZeus they must have redone the trailer for tv because, I went to watch it the theatre too.

[@GravelordNito150]

That The Musketeer movie's fight choreographer was Hung Yan-yan, who was also in Once Upon a Time in China

[@hanshans387]

The next time you have Gui on the sofa could you look at the golf club / driving range fight scene from The Brothers Sun? Amazing stuntwork with a drone flying through the fight for some amazing shots!

[@alyphatnoe8771]

Steven Segul canceled and Wren was kind enough to take his place.😂

[@Maddest_of_Hatters]

Maybe sitting on the couch felt too much like his recent movie work, although the couch is an upgrade from the chairs he has been using. 🤣

[@dominicwright9272]

i'd love to see a stuntmen react to pro wrestling. maybe around wrestlemania time?

[@sunbleachedangel]

That would be pretty sick

[@jonathan__g]

Ya especially since Gui is a known fan of wrestling.

[@Combaticus]

Or if they can get a wrestler that can drop kayfabe to explain, that would be dope as well

[@MC-Clap-Yo-Hands]

@@Combaticus Its 2023, Kayfabe is very much dead

[@PK-eg8yz]

Get Mick Foley on the couch with them

[@christianboehlefeld5168]

Xin Xin Xiong was the stunt choreographer for The Musketeer and was Jet Li's stunt double in Once Upon A Time in China.

[@drew-km6pu]

So good to see Last Samurai on one of these. It's easily one of my favourite films of all time. Please react to that full scene. Music is insane! The fight scene depicts perfectly the clash of philosophy in the movie. East vs West: The shame of 'not knowing when you're defeated' vs the shame of 'giving up'. Unbelievable meaning within the fight scene!

[@a_real_one2000]

They got to react to the fight scenes & stunts on the DC show Arrow. That series was mostly spot on amazing stuff.

[@duoquendo]

that hole roar thing, im out of words is just impressive

[@salomevirtanen286]

Just watched the Mask of Zorro for the first time, andgot interested in the stuntwork in it and you came to mind immediately. Especially the scene with the horse chase, where a group of men are chasing Zorro's horse while Zorro himself is chasing them, taking them out one by one on horseback... horsebacks? there's some amazing work there and would love to see it broken down. I also really loved the swordfighting scenes.

[@chineserockethands4578]

You guys should try to get Hiroyuki Sanada on the couch. His list of film credits is crazy, and good timing because Shogun is about to come out, so his agent may be looking for promo opportunities.

[@FunnyHaHa420]

During the filming of ROAR a young Melanie Griffith was bitten on the head and had to get 50 stitches. They thought she might loose an eye that was injured and she required some reconstructive surgery.

[@Maddest_of_Hatters]

Tippi wasn't being a great mom on set that day.

[@FunnyHaHa420]

@@Maddest_of_Hatters But her kid was being a great entrée.

[@ULTRAVISTA.]

This show only gets better

[@Rodytohti]

I love animators and FX artists reacts, but I've missed the stuntpeople on the couch. Happy to see Gui back on it.

[@SpiderPariah]

Great to see Last Samurai being talked about. Genuinely surprised however that Boone mentioned the bit where a horsekicks some poor extra below the belt. Dude took it like a champ! 😂

[@weavelcow9596]

This looks like it's going to be a fun one Edit: It was, I can't believe the lion story.

[@timschantz3233]

I'm glad to see love for The Last Samurai. It's my second favorite movie, twenty years running.

[@namstel9225]

I love Gui, he's just so chill and knowledgeable about his work and you can tell he really loves being there on the couch.

[@mpmyprojects6687]

‘Roar’ was shown in my hometown in the mid 80's and we kids (about 9 or 10) got tickets from our school to see the film. It was part of a nature awareness project, and I suspect no one in the school knew what the film was about or what the scenes might show. I remember feeling kind of amused and uncomfortable at the same time watching the film with 100 other kids around me.

[@swordmonkey6635]

As historically inaccurate as The Last Samurai was, the one thing I'll give it was the sparring with bokken in the rain featured the samurai striking Tom Cruise with the pommel of his bokken ( a rare, but authentic kenjutsu move). It's done as a non-lethal strike as is using the sword handle to grapple with the opponent's wrists and hands. It was showed the samurai striking Tom with the "flat" of the bokken in another non-lethal strike meant to stun or injure rather than kill. The samurai was clearly looking to beat up Tom Cruise, but not kill him (which is still easily possible with a bokken).

[@bentinho]

I remember seeing that Musketeers fight in theaters and also being like, hold up, this is Once Upon A Time in China! lmao

[@shimba90]

The Last Samurai is one of my all time favorites. Such a beautiful movie.

[@HollywoodTacticool]

the choreographer for the musketeer was xin xin xiong who did a lot of the stunt double work for it. as was his role in OUATIC. then in the sequel, he played a villian. then played a disciple character clubfoot in future installments

[@SL4PSYM4XY]

Last Samurai is one of my fav movies of all time. I could watch it every day.

[@bradleywagman6535]

the Pirates of the Caribbean balancing sword fight must have been inspired by the musketeers and once upon a time in China, so many similarities!

[@iDEATH]

So nice to see Gui and another Stuntmen React again! That whole "Roar" thing really is mind boggling, isn't it? That anyone could think that's a good idea...it really is a wonder no one died. And who would you blame? You can't blame one of the top predators on the planet for doing what predators do. That production showed a lot of evidence of the kind of damage these incredible animals can do when they aren't even trying, imagine if one of them got mad!

[@jetguy5]

The house fight scene in “the killer” caught me off guard with how punchy it felt, would be great to cover that one!

[@TheOthersparktank]

The Musketeers 100% made me think of Once Upon A Time in China. I wasn't big into the Mukseteer movies. Regrettably, the first one I watched was Paul WS Anderon's sci-fi/steampunk version. I didn't even pay full attention when Disney did it with the duck and the mouse.

[@JC-gv6sq]

Awesome to Gui back on the couch, would love to see more John Wick stuntmen or Actors!

[@langleymneely]

Please tell me you guys looked at the clip where the elephant breaks Tippi Hedrens leg by squeezing with its trunk!? It’s all on camera and used in the film! It’s insane!
