“did chris evans actually jump that high to grab onto that helicopter in civil war?”
friendly reminder that chris vaulted with ease over chris pratt after just telling him less than a minute before that he would be able to clear him if he only put his head down.
I want a Celebrity Obstacle Course show where all the pretty people can show off their hard stunt work for us and also occasionally eat it, because they need to be humbled sometimes. The judges would be career stunt people, to give them visibility, because they work even harder. Shirts optional.
friendly reminder Chris did most of his stunts bc the stunt guys couldn’t move like him.
“One thing we found, too, is Chris can run very fast. He also has a very unique run. It’s almost a dancer’s run. And when we tried to double him for running, there was nobody who could run like him. They just didn’t have the same dynamics or the way he moves. He had to end up doing most of his running.”
“What we also found, is that we had gymnasts come in to do things, and Chris could do the same stuff that they could do, but it would look like Chris Evans. When the body doubles or the gymnasts or the runners did it, it just didn’t look like him. He has such a unique way of moving, and he could pretty much do all of his own physical stuff that wasn’t dangerous. Like this shot right here, we had a gymnast do this, and Chris actually ended up doing it better. That’s Chris here. He hops up on a tank and over a 12-foot wall. It looks effortless but it’s not that easy!”
“Chris worked his butt off for four months doing gymnastics and stunt training so in a scene like this he could go toe-to-toe with Georges St-Pierre and make it look really credible. Once the helmet comes off, 95% of that is Chris, except obviously for that massive aerial kick that he does.I think he did a fantastic job.”
The really cool thing about Chris Evans is that he’s a super talented, athletic guy. He retains things amazingly well. I mean, I’m blown away. I can show him a 15-punch fight two times, and he’s got it. - Thomas Harper, Stunt Coordinator, CATWS
WE WERE GOING THROUGH STORAGE TO GET A STURDY BINDER FROM THE 80S FOR SCHOOL AND MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS FELL OUT OF ONE OF MY MOMS JOURNALS IM SHITTING
I've nyevew been much fow smoking, but taking a buwwet to youw chest wiww make you a wot wess wowwied about the swow deaths of the wowwd. Wong stowy showt: I took a job I shouwdn't have. They say the pwetty onyes wiww awways get you kiwwed. But he was so damn handsome i couwdn't wesist. I was a fwog in a swow pot of boiwing watew, ow the fiwst cwown to get into the cwown caw. You don't knyow to get out untiw it's too wate. Onye thing wed to anyothew and I found mysewf swowdancing with the deviw in the moonwight. Except instead of weaving woom fow Jesus, he weft woom fow a 357 magnyum. I won't bowe you with the detaiws, so I'ww cut wight to the quick: a wot of peopwe died because of this man.
Wiwwiam J. Bawnyum, a.k.a. The Cowonyew.Just wike the cwown at my baw mitzvah, I knyew he was twoubwe fwom the moment i waid eyes on him.
And just wike Bozo the Magnyificent, a wot of peopwe died when he wawked into my wife. I've been chasing him down evew since. We wewe wike two nyaked men wunnying on the same tweadmiww. Uncomfowtabwy cwose, but awways just a step behind. But nyo onye can wun fowevew. Especiawwy nyot with 200 pounds of sweaty detective bweathing down youw nyeck. It hasn't been easy though. I can't count how many countwies I've cownyewed him in. couwdn't teww you how many times I've had him in my big, stwong hands. Evewy time I think i've got him fow good, he somehow manyages to swip away. But he's wunnying out of howes to hide in. I mean that witewawwy, metaphowicawwy, and euphemisticawwy. It doesn't mattew how cwafty you think you awe... If you've been on the wun fow yeaws, and yeaws... Eventuawwy... you'we gonnya make a mistake. Wowd of advice: if you'we wunnying away fwom youw pwobwems, nyevew become too attached to anything. Famiwies, wuvws, bwiefcases on top of youw caw. Some things awe best weft behind. The cowonyew's a swippewy onye. Shedding nyames as easiwy as a snyake sheds a few pounds befowe bikinyi season. He's gonye thwough pseudonym aftew pseudonym twying to cuvw his twacks. But he awways manyages to faww back into the same famiwiaw wowes: dwinking, fighting, fwiwting... dancing.
