10 Hilarious Stunt Doubles That Ruined Their Scenes

Despite being paid millions, actors don't tend to enjoy doing anything strenuous or life-threatening.

'Ruined' is a bit much as you had to freeze most of these videos in order to tell that they were doubles.

I'm sorry but almost all of these are practically unnoticeable by the naked eye

[MonarchsFactory]

All the "boo actors not lifting a finger" jokes come across a little weak and hollow when basically everyone knows that most actors aren't given permission to work on anything close to a stunt because if they got even just a noticeable scratch or bruise it would throw out the schedule for filming entirely and add tonnes to costs...

How is it ruined if you couldn't see they were doubles unless you paused the movies?

This guy is like that guy in school that tries so hard for people to like him that the opposite happens, people hate him.

Bad jokes and a click bait title. Careful WhatCulture, I normally like what you do but you dropped the ball.

You're gonna talk shit about Sly Stallone? It's kind of hard to have any respect for you as an authority on film when you trash a legend like Stallone with decades of successful performances, both in front of and behind the camera. Did you not see Creed? He got a fucking Oscar nom for that performance!

This is a seriously pathetic list. When you watch these scenes you can barely tell there is a double. There are far worse movie double scenes out there.

To be fair, actors aren't allowed to do ANYTHING other than stand there and look pretty... Seriously. I did a stage combat course a couple of weeks ago, and the guy who led it has worked on several films (most notably, all the fighting in John Carter) and he said that even something as small as hitting a table is considered a "stunt" to directors, producers etc. The simple fact of the matter is, unlike in theatre, there are no understudies so the actors/actresses cannot get hurt in any way, shape or form. Because of this, even the tiniest thing that could cause injury is considered a stunt and needs someone else to do it, thus making us all look like pansies who don't wanna get our hand dirty!

We need the channel 'WhatCultureAdam'
I'm only subscribed for Adam

Mizdow is the greatest stunt double ever

[JPKloess]

Maybe I'm just not too observant, but I can barely tell the stunt double from the actor even when the frame is paused for a lot of these.

I remember in the season 4 commentary for Buffy Joss Whedon comments "Oh yes, here you can see Buffy has strapped on her combat breasts"

[promontorium]

The content of this video does not support the promise of the title.

[Ponchorc]

Guys, we need Adam. This guy sucks... #MakeWhatCultureGreatAgain

[ChaseSummers]

of course, show the only scenes where the stunt doubles are used. In the case of Buffy, it was a tv show and they had a short time to complete each episode. Stunt doubles help do scenes faster.

Sarah Michelle Gellar did in fact "lift a finger" in fights but wasn't expected to, she's an actress, like all the actor's mentioned in the video. They act and they are successful for their acting.

'Don't forget to like, share and subscribe' always feels a bit patronising from any channel. I'll like it if I actually _liked_ it, not automatically because you instructed me to do so. Same applies to a greater degree still re share & subscribe.

Great video! Your next video should be "Top Person To Butcher Potentially Great WhatCulture Videos" #GiveUsAdamBalmpied

well this was incredibly below average

Face/Off starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. The scene at the end of the speedboat chase features the longest slow motion shot of two stunt doubles flying through the air in cinema history.
