Live and Let Die Crocodile Jump attempts
« on: December 23, 2021, 01:31:12 AM »
Short video showing the 4 or 5 attempts to run across the backs of the alligators from the Live and Let Die movie.

I saw this brought up on another video earlier.  Behind the scenes attempts at jumping across alligators.  Honestly, if someone had asked, I would have said the ones they jumped on weren't real.

This video talks about it.  One guy said they had them held in place by their legs.  I guess they would have to do that.  That they can still bend around and snap at the stunt man.

I doubt today's movies would even attempt this.  It would be a CGI scene more than likely.

Stunt assist by Dunning / Kruger.

for a lead role in a cage?
