CGI-weary audiences’ demand for complex ‘real’ action is increasing the risk for performers

This week, the British stunt performer Joe Watts suffered a serious head injury on the set of the film Fast & Furious 9, at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, after he reportedly fell 30ft from a balcony. He was airlifted to hospital and has been put in an induced coma. Production on the film was shut down, and the Health and Safety Executive is investigating.

This is truly a shock news. We hope you get well soon

Participating in stunts has, is and always will be a dangerous practice and these people know what they’re taking on.. I just hope the elf and safety brigade don’t ruin it like they’ve knackered everything else.

What demands? Oh right, last time I left the theater I thought, dang, that would've been so much better if only there were real stunts!

That scenery is amazing.

That's why they have stunt people

You show a picture of Tom Cruise, somebody who does all his own stunts.

I still can’t believe deadpool 2 wasn’t more controversial because of the stunt woman who was killed and the circumstances she died under

Soon all stunts will all be done in post production , locations shoot will be a green room
