I'm watching Eraser on tv right now, and the part where Arnie jumps out of the plane and the plane hits his parachute. Stunt guy is free falling with his shute tangled all around him trying to get free. Brillant stunt work. Not saying its the best but what's the some of the best tou've seen?

Still think the corkscrew jump from The Man with the Golden Gun holds up well.

The pole cats in Fury Road.

Pole cat guys in mad max are class

Hats off to golden gun though, the amount of times i've seen that film and never thought about the guy in that car. Thats unreal!

I remember being blown away by the stunts Tony Jaa did in the early Ong Bak film, and his subsequent films. Not the same as stunts in cars and that, but his ability to use his body and bend/lean//fold on the fly (ie: jumping feet and arms first through a ring of barb wire...).

Nobody comes close to Buster Keaton for me. Not only one of the most inventive filmmakers we'll ever have the pleasure of seeing, but also incredibly daring when it came to his stunt work.

The amount of injuries he endured on set was ridiculous, even managing to break his neck without knowing he had done so (only learned of the damage done a few years later!). And he was never one to refuse a stunt, even towards the end of his life. I mentioned this in another post: in The Railrodder, he insisted on doing all his own stunts, otherwise it wouldn't be right.

Keaton and Gerald Potterton, his director, discussed and occasionally argued over gags in the film with the director concerned about the safety of his star.

Keaton insisted that his comedic ideas about a map flapping about on his ride was not a dangerous stunt; the scene remained in the film.

Every frame is a painting did a really good piece on Buster Keaton.
