Tom Cruise may be crazy, but damn is he a hard working actor. I don't think anybody can question his commitment to his projects. Everybody who works with him says he's like a machine when he's on the job, just solely focused on getting the shot and making the movie as entertaining as possible.

Stuff like this any other actor would get a stunt double to do, but he's said repeatedly that he always wants to do the stunts himself if possible because he feels the audience can tell when the doubles take over. And the stuntmen totally respect him because at this point in his career he's as good at it as any veteran stuntman.

I wonder though if Tom Cruise movies have higher insurance costs because he insists on doing his own stunts.

71' Nova was the Death Proof car used 1st by stuntman Mike....

The World's Next Top Stuntman.

I don't care what any PR/Ad Agency says.....This is 100% Fake. A car salesmen wouldn't act like a bad actor during a crazy test drive.

Also, I'm pretty sure it was established that the car wasn't driven by Gordon, but by a stuntman. With that in mind, how do the scenes at the beginning and end of the commercial fit together with the car driving scenes taken from inside the car.

It just don't make no sense1!!!!

Fixed and thanks.

I hope he finds work. I feel a little bad for him though. He made a demo reel for someone who wants to be an action star, not so much a stuntman. I think he's going to need to 'up his game' a lot more than this to find his way into one of the several stuntman organizations in the Hollywood area.

In what could have been the greatest cardboard castle ever, was ruined by a stuntman.

It was the least tense fight scene ever because this Darth Maul guy was a nobody in the story, just a redshirt stuntman with makeup. Does he even have lines?


Ray Park gets more money if he shuts the fuck up. It's written into his contracts.

If you're talking about the no-longer-top comment which ends, "Yes I realize the video is a joke but that fight is by far the best part of the movie not to mention my childhood", then that alone is enough to dismiss it.

The top Reddit comment makes a convincing argument that the Force makes this fighting reasonable:

This certainly would have made the film better. But you'd still have Ewan McGregor giving a stilted impression of Alec Guinness, and Natalie Portman being equally unnatural. And Darth Maul was a mute played by a stuntman. Without better acting and dialogue, all of these plot improvements would be wasted.

A terribly late thank you.
