Keanu Reeves fights in slowmo because the other opponents are much faster. Then they speed it up in the editing.
jason statham, keanu reeves and tom cruise
There's no Jean Claude
Clearly Buster should be #1. Many of the clips you showed (like bond leaping from one crane to another) were actually stunt doubles whereas Keaton had no one. Chad Stahelski and many other stunt legends credit Buster as THE craziest. Many were so dangerous that one mistake meant death.
Jet li is too high up the list, but the list is solid. I would put keanu reaves were jet li is and li were keanu is.
Expecting Jackie Chan to be #1 without watching the video
You were so right about number one
Same.
Big same
yup same
i think they already have Jackie Chan's own top 10. LOL
Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but you’ve gotta admire his dedication for doing his own stunts
He’s one of the best at what he does my favorite actor
@@blairmcauley2497 he’s one of my favs too
He's the biggest movie star of all time lol
He's a madman... I love that guy
@@rottieshepcalibre9156 as do I
Tom Cruise does incredible stunts and is a true artist to his craft. Same with Keanu Reeves dedicating himself to the visions he sees in his head, that he puts on screen. Donnie Yen is also one of the bests. Just nobody will ever surpass Jackie. He’s broken damn near every bone in his head, has a metal plate in his skull. Holds the Guinness Book of World Records for most stunts done by a human. He’s a legend that paved the way for many before him and during the same time. But from that, give a lot of thanks to Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. They inspired Jackie. It’s just beautiful to think how all these guys have an affect on each other and make their stunts and action, their own!
Jackie Chan is the undisputed king of stunts. And hats off to all these actors to pull off their own stunts
I’m glad Buster Keaton got recognition
Well you beat me to it. The man is a legend 💪
I mean he is the OG, so
Seriously. Awesome to give him some love.
Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, and Jackie Chan are my favorite action stars.
Jackie Chan is the GOAT when it comes to stunt work, you can’t change my mind.
#1 spot DESERVED.
True. Not trying to change your mind but only Tom Cruise himself flew an actual fighter jet on film as far as I know.
@@adriannalundasan7570 nobody cares.
Tom Cruise work ethic is impeccable. I love his passion and dedication. There's no one like him in Hollywood. 💜
Scott Adkins deserves more mainstream appreciation, that dude gets his ass kicked filming all of his starring movies, for our entertainment.
Tom cruise is my favorite actor and this is one of the reasons why he puts his blood sweat and tears into every stunt he does his dedication to the craft and to his films are amazing
#1 is literally reserved for my man Jackie
We all knew Jackie Chan was gonna be number 1!!
Such a awesome list!😁 Mat,Angelina,Harrison,.Sylvester,of course Tom. Amazing movies and actors. All of them. Jackie is awesome :D Love his movies. Action,or comedy. I agree. His stunts are legendary. His injuries are epic too. Great list! :D
When they mentioned Keanu whoa I did it exactly at the same time...😅😂😂
TOM CRUISE = LEGEND
He was great in The Last Samurai.
Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, Tanner Buchanan, Jacob Bertrand, Ray Park
Just by the title I knew Tom Cruise was gonna be in the video
Thank Christ the first thing that appeared in the video was a Mission Impossible Fallout clip
That’s so good!
Scott adkins comes to mind great action star 🌟
Arnold Schwarzenegger's primary stunt double has always been Peter Kent. He's roughly the same height, has a similar build, and a somewhat similar face and head. He played the guy in Twins that Schwarzenegger first mistook for his twin, because they almost could be twins. In the Terminator 2 motorcycle jump scene, they didn't even bother to hide his face, because from any distance further than a closeup, they don't need to.
So ???
You could see in T2 bike scene that the man wasn't Arnold. Trust me, there is a scene that was obvious.
@@freddiemercury2075 We could all see that it's not Arnold, if we notice it and look again to make sure. But it's close enough that they didn't bother to hide it. And the "mistake" probably helped Mr. Kent, professionally, so why not give the dude a cameo, he earned it.
@@BlackHatCinephile agreed. Mr Kent earned it. And I think it's sweet from the big man Jason Statham who proposed that stuntman should be nominated for major awards.
My top 5:
1. Keanu Reeves
2. Harrison Ford
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger
4. Hugh Jackman
5. Tom Holland
My honorable mentions: Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Sylvester Stallone, Daniel Craig, Angelina Jolie
I love this and agree with every single analysis. Jackie Chan will still be number one in a hundred years to come.
Tom Cruise does more than his own stunts, he does his own crazy as well
Definitely Jackie and cruise hands down the best stunts in Hollywood one honorable mention I would have said is Wesley Snipes
4:11 Christian Bale doing his own stunts I believe that, you’re going to be fit enough to do your own stunts to play the Batman.
12:45 I heard that punch in Rocky IV that put him in intensive care was actually for detached retinas.
Tom Cruise is the ONLY one who's flown a fighter jet !!
You can't beat that !!
He will be flying into space soon. He has mad skillz
@@rottieshepcalibre9156 Living LEGEND !!
Jackie Chan is better
@@toxicjutz1168 he is the greatest.
To me, It's criminal that AMPAS refuses to honor stuntwork! Oscar's must be awarded to stuntworker and stunt coordinator!!!
Saw John Wick yesterday and Keanu Reeves stunt work was amazing.
Buster Keaton should be higher. His stunts were wild at a time when nobody gave af about safety
PRACTICAL EFFECTS BEFORE CGI
That's my motto
🏆 🥇
@@BlackHatCinephile you do realize that some people may not care about what number comment they are
@@Reaperguy67 Like it or not, it's there. Who knows, he might like it. An accolade for commenting early. What's not to like about that? If he's a normal, rational person, the worst he'd feel about it is indifferent. If he's offended or upset by it, well;, that would make him as insane as you, and I'm betting that he's probably not. Nutbag.
@@BlackHatCinephile for one I'm not insane at all.. I'm just letting you know the truth about those comments..again grow up and act your age. It's sad that you claim to be adult and you attack people in the comments.
Scott Adkins should be on this. Or there should be a part 2 of this list with Scott and other under rated action stars.
I agree with your list, altho I might have put Buster Keaton as #1, bc he started it all.
Some favorite guys of mine that you missed are: Harold Lloyd, James Garner, Paul Newman, and Clint Eastwood.
Thanx muchly for sharing!
I found that a lot of my favorite actors are on this list and I wonder if it is a contributing factor.
Sweet
Make the Top 20 Greatest Comic Book Origin
the Stuntman of the Past
Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton.
the Stuntman of the Middle Age
Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan.
the Stuntman of the Modern Age
Michelle Yeoh, Tony Jaa, Matt Damon, Jason Statham, keanu Reeves, and Tom Cruise.
the Stuntman of Today
Tom Holland and Iko Uwais.
A great honourable mention would have to be Bruce Lee. Much like Jet Li years later, Bruce Lee had to be asked several times to slow down with his martial arts just so the cameras could pick up what he was doing.
Nice 👍. Bruce Lee is up there among the greats. A super martial artist. But I believe he wasn't mentioned because he often didn't do his own stunts. I see a lot of stunt doubles in the course of his movies.
@@titanwa6509 jackie chan is one of his stunt men
The same day to the same hour I was telling my nephew about Jackie Jan and how he does all his stunts, couple hours later this video is uploaded LoL 😂
Don't Forgot, Iko Uwais, and Bruce Lee
The Big Three in Movie Stunts Buster Keaton, Tom Cruise, and Jackie Chan. Legends.
TJ Miller from “Unstoppable” (2010).
How does SCOTT ADKINS not get on this list?!?! 🤦🤦🙄🙄 Ridiculous!!!
Unbelievable!!!! Scott Adkins not being here....
Criminal.....
Considering WatchMojo has a "Top 10 Greatest Jackie Chan Stunts" video. He better be number 1.
Milla is really tough as nails!
Our Idol Jackie Chan is without peer.:)
It was always going to be Jackie Chan!:)
if jackie chan isnt number 1. i swear
Scott Adkins does his stunts as well
Harrison Ford severely injured his back in the palace fight choreography for "The Temple of Doom". It occurred during the stunt were he's being strangled from behind and bent to throw the antagonist off. A good potion of some scenes were filmed with his stunt double Vic Armstrong because they favored each other in appearance.
i think we all knew who number 1 was from the title alone :)
I don't want to hate on Arnold but you can count the times in each movie where there's a stunt double. Predator, The Running Man, Last Action Hero, Total Recall & Terminator 2. He did jump from the small pickup truck bed to the semi in T2 then a stunt double was used to grab the wheel and flip it. He's still a badass though.
Buster Keaton is soooo panic and anxiety inducing lmao. Like Jackie Chan is amazing and everyone on this list but holy shit Buster is insane
Tom Cruise may be short, but he’s still a genuine Hollywood badass.
Jackie Chan is shorter lol
@@scottbarkley496 No way! Really?
The fact that you have Donnie Yen at 13 is disrespectful on so many levels.
Vidyut Jamwal is also do his own actions scenes
When Jackie Chan And Tom Cruise are younger they did all of them
They are brave. Truly brave .
Tom always thinking of how to break his own record and to entertain his audiences, earth may be not enough for him, his next mission may be going to the space after IM 8...
This list could be completely filled by 19 hongkong actors and one Tom cruise 😅
I didn't know Freddie Mercury was in Commando
Margot Robbie, Cynthia Rothtock
Jackie Chan had a dedicated stuntman team, handling his stunts if he doesn't do the stunts himself.
Robin Padilla doesn't use doubles for his stunts. He was once injured when an explosion tore near his arm, scarring it. But still doesn't use doubles when doing his stunts.
Alex O'Loughlin (Steve McGarrett on H 5-0) did a lot of his own stunts
Keanu Reeves 🎉🎉🎉
I would like to Run from a Boulder!
great video watch mojo is a good channel
Keanu is my Fav
Glad Jackie chan is number 1.
I know little of Buster Keaton, but don’t know much of Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa.
There's no Jean Claude van Damn!!
I’m sorry but how is Theo James not on this list?!
He has experience in martial arts & has done many of his own stunts like in Divergent for example!😆
He even got so many bruises in his time on the HBO show Time Travelers Wife😤
What happened to Scott Adkins?
Lots of actors now can do their own stunts.. like Dylan O'Brien he was almost died in maze runner.
Margot Robbie, Chloe Grace Moretz, Gal Gadot, Chris Evans, Adam Driver, Millie Bobby Brown, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling.
What about Chow Yun Fat??
I knew Jackie Chan will be on this list
2:31 You better call ripley’s believe it or not because Even though they literally buried Hugh Jackman’s incarnation of the wolverine in 2017 Jackman’s Wolverine is back in Deadpool 3 yes you heard me right the king of the cage will be facing off against the Merc with the mouth.
When it comes to doing their own stunts Jackie Chan will always be the GOAT
Stallone N Statham
Tom Cruise's stunts are more death-defying than Jackie Chan's tho. But I agree for the list anyways
We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. While I'm a fan of both, you'll have to keep in mind Tom Cruise wasn't really considered an action star till maybe early 2000s with the Mission Impossible franchise, while Jackie has been doing this since the early 80s. While it's arguable which stunt is more death defying, (Armour of God where he had to jump onto an air balloon with nothing but a parachute) I can say with certainty who was in better hands in terms of safety and preparedness. Tom had the best stunt/ safety coordinators with US / Hollywood's safety standards where everything is checked checked and checked again. While Jackie had a bunch of rag tag "stunt coordinators" pulling him around in wires. There's a reason why he nearly broken every bone in his body. Anyway, just my 2 cent. :)
"Statham's respect for stunt work is such that he believe stunt doubles and teams should be eligible for academy awards." You're goddamn right they should be.
When it talks about slowing down The same thing had to be said to Bruce Lee on the set of the green hornet.
Donnie Yen!!!
8:21 Harrison Ford was also well known for actually also being a real life hero because there’s more than one story online about how he jumped on his helicopter and saved an injured climber.
How did scott adkins not make this list? I cant argue and say none of these otheir terrific performers dont deserve to be on this list cause they do, but scott adkins has been in the business for almost 20 years or more and he literally does all if not most of his own stunts.
Mistake found
The Bourne identity came in 2002 not 2004
🎉
As if there would be anyone else? Jackie is the goat of stunts… his entire stunt team is legendary
V l 0:29 Salesforce Tower in San Francisco!
Bruce Willis
It's kind of weird seeing Jet Li at 3, but Donnie Yen is not in the top 10
Did Matt Damon actually go to Mars for filming?
Donnie Yen, 13? C’mon...
Definitely should have included Rambo 1 First Blood for Sylvester Stallone. He went through hell for that movie.
Buster Keaton should’ve gotten first place just for his era alone.
how about steven seagull?
Anjolina's most risky stunt was being married to Brad Pitt lol 😆
Scott Adkins...
