9 Most Insane Film Stunts You Won't Believe Actors Performed

By Dan Woburn /

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger - Commando

The scene in Commando where Ah-nuld climbs out of a Boeing 747 onto the tire, in order to escape said rapidly-accelerating plane, is baffling at first - as a viewer you flip-flop between thinking it's real, then fake, then no wait it's real again, until finally you're sold - that's definitely him clinging onto the wheel of a plane that is actually moving at dangerously high speeds. Apparently, due to the fact that it was incredibly difficult to find a stuntman of Arnie's stature, director Mark L. Lester ultimately just had to get the Austrian Oak to do it himself. Schwarzenegger, ever the macho man, thankfully obliged - and thus we get one of the most insane stunts from the 80s to enjoy again and again.
