Would these movie stunts kill you in real life?

Like my wife, are you completely taken in by over-the-top movie stunts? Or, are you (like me) the complete bore who continually shouts ‘Urgh, that is so unrealistic!’ at the TV?

Since the emergence of CGI special effects, stunts have become more and more outrageous, leaving many of us questioning if they are even remotely possible.

Well, BetWay have settled the argument. They’ve analysed stunts from twelve popular blockbuster movies to determine whether they could really happen in real life.

Check out the interactive ‘Mission Implausible: How realistic are Hollywood’s best stunts?’ below.

You can find out whether Tom Cruise should have been chopped into little pieces by a helicopter, if Bond should be swimming with the fishes rather than kite surfing a Tsunami, or whether The Rock really is capable of jumping from a crane with his prosthetic leg.

BetWay’s Mission Implausible interactive analyses these twelve popular action movies:

Die Another Day (2002)
Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)
Live Free or Die Hard (2007)- Transporter 2 (2005)
Bad Boys 2 (2003)
Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003)
Face/Off (1997)
