The Greatest Movie Stunts of All Time

View a larger version on our Facebook Page to fully enjoy the bone-crunching action!

We've picked the greatest stunts in movie history and put them all together in one death-defying, jaw-dropping video for you to enjoy! If you have a favorite that we didn't show, leave a comment! Chances are we wanted to include it but had to narrow our list down.

This compilation doesn't showcase complicated fight choreography or movements, but celebrates big, single-event, one-take gags, car stunts and falls. For instance, Tony Jaa doing a spinning leg kick isn't on the list, but Tony Jaa doing a spinning leg kick with his legs set on fire is definitely on the list!

We avoided any CGI and steered clear of scenes with a lot of edits, camera trickery, excessive wirework and any effects-enhanced stunts. We gave extra points to stunts that further a story or have some emotional resonance in the movie – like Toshiro Mifune's horse stunt in Hidden Fortress. It might not be as spectacularly death defying as the other stunts, but it is an incredible moment in the film and you can see that it is actually Mifune performing the stunt himself.

P.S. It's amazing how clever the Roger Moore era Bond films were in devising show-stopping stunts, and of course Jackie Chan's creative stunts are legend.

Greatest Waste of TV Airtime Award Goes To...

American Idol's Josiah Leming, the most self-absorbed, wrong-minded teen blunderkind to grace the airwaves this week!

Why the judges and producers decided to let this whining, infantile buffoon continue as far as he has is baffling. The greatest favor anyone could have done for this young man, and America, is to have doused him with icewater and instantly sent him packing with the word "talentless" superimposed over his whining, delusional face. This young man needs a dose of reality in the worst way. To imagine this mediocre, tacky, off-key stupe leaving his family to childishly live in his car and pursue his pie-eyed dreams of a career in music is sad. Add to that his off-key, vapid, Coldplay-imitating, fake-British-accent vocals, and we have a winner of a loser.

This photo, from his myspace page (so many homeless teens living in cars have myspace webpages these days), should inspire society to create a powerful space cannon in order to propel this kid into the farthest reaches of space, where his special brand of entitlement will not appear on network television and influence any other kids to try their hand at being an ass. His self-penned caption underneath the photo reads:

a little something for all the lovely ladies ( :


In conclusion , I'd like to say that you've also gotta love when an 18-year-old white kid refers to his synthesizer as "The Keys."
