Speaking as someone who has participated in stunt training with industry professionals, and has seen the aggressive way in which stunt industry performers have to unionize and defend one another or else nobody else will care:

I think there should be fewer stunts in films. I think extremely dangerous and complex feats of superhuman physical exertion should be reserved for animation. I think there are some things that stunt crews should just…not be made to do anymore.

Too many stunt performers have died for some of this shit to be worth it.

Sure, they make a big deal about how “no animals were harmed in the making of this movie,” and not being able to have that literal seal of approval in your end credits is a BIG DEAL that always causes a controversy, but they don’t have to ever verify that no human workers were injured, do they?

Imagine a world where “no cast or crew were harmed in the making of this film” was considered a basic standard, and any production that couldn’t meet it got investigated and held accountable if it proved necessary.

Imagine.

This post got a surge in notes again today because another stunt performer has been killed by the job.

Too fucking many, y'all. Too fucking many.
