November 12th - It was on this day in history in 1910 that the 1st movie stunt was performed. A man jumped into Hudson River from a burning balloon. What would we do without stuntmen? Movies wouldn’t be the same. Stuntmen are what really make the action movie packed with action. They do flips, jumps and crazy moves that blow us away…but we go on thinking it’s the actor who’s doing all this. Ya right! In some cases yes, but in most, they’d never risk it. Take Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie for example. The scenes in which she’s jumping to and from boats, doing twisted flips in the air…that’s actually a man! Sorry if I’ve ruined anyone’s obsession with the puffy-lipped actress. Go ahead; rent some action-packed movies with tons of stunts to pay tribute to the real risk-takers behind the scenes - stuntmen! Find action movie DVDs for less by shopping at Sony Style.
