Wicked Game (2002)
Stunts not planned as they appear
I worked on this film. Another viewer had this comment on the stunts: (I'm pretty sure there's no safe way to land directly on your head, or be forced to head butt a wooden roof by a speeding car!?). Neither of these stunts was planned this way. Tatsuro had no idea his head was going to hit the support beam and Tadahiro was not necessarily supposed to land directly on his head. There is another shot just before Tadahiro lands on his head where Luke gets side-swiped by a car and thrown 15-20 feet. Another miscalculation. This stuff looks great on film (actually miniDV), but this type of flagrant disregard for the safety of the crew should not be tolerated in any country.
