00:00I feel like I'm coming back to myself, but I can't remember nothing.
00:04I didn't whip out, did I?
00:05No.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks from the most impressive, exciting, and or elaborate movie stunts from the last 10 years.
00:18It appears Mr. Week won't be joining us.
00:21Number 10.
00:22Rig Ambush.
00:23Furiosa, a Mad Max saga.
00:25They look like water fires!
00:28Water fires.
00:29They ride with the Mantis.
00:30Not anymore.
00:31They've gone rogue.
00:32George Miller's post-apocalyptic series never skimps on great action.
00:35The prequel, Furiosa, follows the formative years of the title hero, while also showing her in a pivotal ambush scene.
00:42This also includes some elaborate staging and stunt work.
00:45There's performers above, below, and alongside a tanker.
00:49You even get to see people flying in parachute rigs.
00:51Each step of the way, this high-octane sequence looks exceptionally dangerous.
00:56Miller's vision, his stunt team, and some believable CGI combine to make this a thrilling time.
01:08It's one to rival the amazing chases and the pull work from Fury Road.
01:13Number 9.
01:14Flying Scenes.
01:15Top Gun Maverick.
01:16Hey, man.
01:17Where's your wingman?
01:18Who's sick?
01:19Where are you?
01:19I got you, man.
01:20I'm coming.
01:21Hang in there.
01:22Hang in there.
01:22In an effort to push the envelope, Top Gun Maverick offered up some of the more believable aerial combat scenes in movie history.
01:28They developed a system of onboard cameras that filmed the actors inside real jets.
01:33With every turn and maneuver, you feel the intensity of the moment.
01:36The tighter the turns, the more intensely the force of gravity on your body multiplies, compressing your lungs, forcing the blood from your brain.
01:44This is especially true of daring sequences, such as the test run.
01:48Tom Cruise proves once again that he and his projects go the extra mile to entertain audiences.
01:53You could have cheated all of it with simulations and special effects, but the filmmakers decided to make it much more authentic.
01:59Come on, give me tone, give me tone, give me tone.
02:02Step out of it, coyote.
02:03Come on, come on.
02:04The heavy breathing, sudden jolts, and sheer speed of it all contribute to an immersive experience.
02:10Hey, hangman.
02:11You look good.
02:12I am good, rooster.
02:14I'm very good.
02:15Number 8.
02:16Window Swing.
02:17Atomic Blonde.
02:19In this fun movie, there are many moments for Charlize Theron's character, Lorraine Broughton, to prove she's a badass.
02:25That's right.
02:26I'm not going anywhere.
02:28This includes one apartment fight that builds to an effective climax.
02:31Ah!
02:33Ah!
02:34Ah!
02:35With limited options, Broughton jumps out a window and swings to a lower floor.
02:40It's a daring move that requires a stunt performer to be precise and nimble.
02:44With the help of wires and editing, Atomic Blonde makes the audience believe that somebody could actually pull this off.
02:50It's as if they took some kind of fantasy and made it an exciting part of a spy thriller.
02:54Needless to say, you shouldn't try this one at home.
02:57Ah!
02:57Ah!
02:57numéro ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
03:27With the addition of cameras and crew members, this shot already has a lot going on before
03:32it spirals out of control.
03:34It also broke the record for cannon rolls once held by the James Bond film, Casino Royale.
03:39Watching it back, you wonder how they did one roll, let alone eight and a half.
03:43The explosive and destructive nature of the stunt makes it look even better.
03:57Number 6, Helicopter Roll, Spectre.
04:01During the opening of this 007 film, James Bond chases baddie Marco Sciarra to a helicopter.
04:11The flight doesn't go as planned, as the flight leads to a few acrobatics.
04:15These expert moves look incredibly dangerous, with the vehicle taking big rolls.
04:19It looks like one of the basic things you shouldn't do with a helicopter.
04:23Miraculously, the pilot keeps the aircraft from hitting the ground.
04:26The entire sequence plays out with pure excitement, as Bond and Sciarra tussle inside.
04:31Stunt pilot Chuck Aaron clearly perfected this maneuver, and showed it off to a global audience.
04:35It's not the last time Bond movies featured a huge set piece either, with a bike jump and
04:48No Time to Die being another standout.
04:50Number 5, Roof Fight, The Foreigner.
05:00This movie proves that even an older Jackie Chan gets the job done.
05:04His character finds himself battling enemies before ending up on a roof.
05:08This sequence mixes Chan's efforts with other fieldist stunt performers.
05:20You have to admire the dance-like routines that make it all look effortless.
05:24Tumbling across shingles is one thing, but the jump to a pole takes it to another level.
05:32The protagonist takes a beating, while also showing that he can compete with any number
05:35of assailants.
05:37In this underrated gem, the cinematic legend and an incredible team help him bring a breathtaking
05:42scene to life.
05:46Number 4, Backwards and Forwards, Baby Driver.
06:01With a cool soundtrack, the title character is the perfect getaway man.
06:05He helps robbers escape the police with some fantastic driving.
06:09This includes a few tight moves down an alley, including a maneuver that involves forward
06:12and reverse.
06:21It almost seems like you shouldn't be able to do this outside of video game.
06:25Baby Driver enlists the great help of stunt drivers, gliding through tight corners with
06:28ease.
06:29You certainly need all kinds of practice to perform this one.
06:32With Edgar Wright's brilliant direction, the frenetic sequence comes together thanks to
06:36some skilled and fearless technicians.
06:45Number 3, Falling Down Stairs, John Wick Chapter 4.
06:48You shouldn't be against John Wick.
06:50He fights and shoots his way up a long staircase, but even the unstoppable force meets his match.
06:55The exhausted hero gets launched back down to where he started.
07:09Wick ends up flying back down the stairs, rolling and taking brutal hits on the way down.
07:13They feel for the stuntman as they sell each and every moment.
07:28Not only do they fall, they make it look excruciating.
07:31It might be one of the assassin's more brutal injuries in the film.
07:34Making it all look authentic, the performer takes it like a champ.
07:37I need you to get to the top of those stairs, John.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Number 2, Marching Band, Jackass Forever.
07:48Hello, my name's Johnny Knoxville, and this is the Marching Band.
07:52For every installment of Jackass, the guys seem to find new ways to hurt themselves.
07:56This particular segment finds them jumping onto a high-speed treadmill.
08:00Wearing band gear and carrying instruments, the group launches towards a hard surface.
08:04Most of them hit hard before flying off the exercise equipment.
08:17As opposed to a regular movie stunt, these performers take it all on the chin, with few safety concerns.
08:22Steve-O even gets medical attention after a head injury.
08:25It's entertaining, darkly hilarious, and cringeworthy to watch.
08:29Jackass Forever doesn't disappoint, with its outrageous feats of courageous stupidity.
08:34You still got those million-dollar teeth, that's for sure.
08:41They're dropping like flies.

08:59Number 1. Bike Off a Cliff.
09:02Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning Part 1.
09:05In the Mission Impossible films in particular, Tom Cruise puts his body on the line for our entertainment.
09:16The series is the gold standard for the star's stunt work.
09:19Dead Reckoning Part 1 allows him to once again play with gravity.
09:23But this time, he's not just holding onto a plane.
09:26The seventh entry features a wild scene, where he drives a motorcycle off a cliff.
09:44After zooming into a free fall, he ditches the bike and opens a parachute.
09:48Two actors working today are willing to do their own stuns, or train for them to this degree.
09:52Not only did he do the work, he had to perform the maneuver multiple times.
