Section c
Stuntmen is not a movie star, but he is a hidden hero in many movies.
They existed long before movies appeared. Even Shakespeare may use them in fighting scenes. In order to look good, the fighting scene must look real. You must bite the enemy's chin when you punch. Fencing must use a sword. Several actors usually appear in a fighting scene. Their actions must be arranged so that no one will get hurt. It's almost like planning a dance performance.
If a movie scene is dangerous, stuntmen usually use stars instead. You may think that you saw Tom Cruise running on the top of the train. But this is his body double. Stuntmen must play the stars they represent. They should be about the same height and size. But when close-ups are needed, movies use stars. Some stuntmen play roles in certain scenes. For example, a female stuntwoman named Jane Davis can do all kinds of jumps. She jumped off the plane and even jumped off the top of the waterfall. Every jump needs careful planning and expert guidance.
Yakima Canutt is a famous cowboy stuntman. Among other stunts, he can jump from a window on the second floor to a horse. He performed a famous trick of sliding down a moving stagecoach. This is also a new way to make fists look real. He is the only stuntman who won an Oscar.
