Stunts - where ?

(1/2) > >>

squashcourt:
OK, so Jake G. chickened out jumping into the lake from a 10-foot-or-so cliff.
Bull riding was another time when a stunt was used.
The GMC truck driver at the beginning was probably another stunt.

There were also stunts for Heath (falling off the horse when he encountered the bear, I think).

Any other stunts used where Heath and Jake couldn't handle.

Looking forward to replies.

Affectionately,

Hopefully not in TS1 or TS2 !  ;D

If that were the case, then BBM goes out the window.

Seriously, though, what other scenes when stunts were used?

I know Anne Hathaway has a stunt rider for her barrel racing scene -- she rode the horse slowly, but couldn't do the fast stuff.

I close my eyes for the scene with Jack being beaten, so I don't know if that's actually Jake in that scene. I think I've heard someone say that it isn't... but that isn't a scene I enjoy watching at full speed, let alone in slow motion.

Jeff Wrangler:
Didn't this topic come up somewhere else?  ???

I could be imagining it, but I think I remember someone asking, somewhere, whether there were legal/contractual reasons--like being already committed to Jarhead, which filmed after Brokeback--that Jake wasn't permitted to jump off that cliff? I don't remember if there was an answer. ...  :-\

I really, really want to say, "You shut up about Jake, maybe it ain't his fault," but that wouldn't be very nice, would it?  ;D

Ooops. I guess I just said it. ...  ;)
