Title: Worlds stupidest human 007 style
Post by: fightingquaker13 on September 18, 2009, 05:32:20 AM
Worlds stupidest human, grand master of ceremonies at ALL future Darwin awards dinners and proof that Bond was a pussy, though a smart pussy, cause he hired a stunt double. ;D Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the undisputed winner of the too dumb too live/ I ain't getting paid enough for this award. ::) Russ Kanandas (sic), world's dumbest human! Sorry phil, but y'all really need to encourage birth control. Crikey! ;)

Good thing those were gators and not crocs...

Obviously strapped down but stupid is an understatement.  Now we know where Burt Reynolds gets his smarts!

Actually Timothy, they are crocs not gators. You can tell by the shape of the snout and the fact that the teeth are visible outside the mouth. As you said, stupid is an understatement. It would be stupid with gators, with crocs I don't think there's even a word for it. ::) What part of 8 foot long carnivorous aquatic lizard did this fool fail to understand?

 It doesn't get mentioned but maybe he WAS getting paid "enough".

Note that the snouts of the pissed off crocs exceeded crotch level height. Tell me how much money  is enough to risk that? As I said, world's stupidest human. ;D

I stand corrected, they appear to be Caymans....not quite as aggresive as the salties but nasty nonetheless..

I misread "nasty" as "tasty", thought this was heading the same direction as the iguana thread.

The crocs/gators/caymans/whatever were probably well fed and were clearly in shallow water. That one fall in the middle would have been the end if both facts were not true.

Probably also tethered in some way since they did not move from take to take, and when the stunt guy got his pants hooked on a big lizard (!!!!!) on the end, the animal could only raise it's head - backwards.

The stunt men are no dummies, and yes he probably got well paid!  ;D

I think I would have reversed direction after the first couple attempts to try to outsmart them.

Actually I would have changed direction and gotten my arse out of there.

Hey, Hey, .... Remember,...this was long before the modern sissy's had computer generated "effects" to make a scene more dramatic, and safer for the actors,....

Stunt men was real men back than, even if sheep were nervous,... ::)

And real actors did there own stunts,....

Yes, that is Steve McQueen...

Ah, yes, the ultimate Steve.

McQueen always did his own stunts if the insurance company on the film would allow it. They did not on The Great Escape, that ain't him jumping the bike over the wire.

He loved driving though, LeMan is a mediocre film with great race scenes.

The saddest of them all.

Roger Moore once told Johnny Carson that he even used a stunt double for the more vigorous love scenes.

Sean Connery is still laughing.
