was that a stunt double for mr. hoffman?
does anyone really know?
shareno one seems to know for sure. Some say it's a cut to a stunt double, some say there's some kind of a cushion implanted in the asphalt. But no one seems to know. At first I thought it was an accident and Hoffman really did fall, but now I'm kind of thinking it was staged. It's something PTA would do, I think. But I'm not sure either.
It's still quite funny though.

I'd say based upon the way the camera was setup, they were expecting him to hit the pavement, but then again I watched it pretty closely and it's tough to see how they'd use a stuntman. It wouldn't be that difficult to use trick asphalt.
shareWhen I watched it I could tell that he was obviously meant to hit the pavement (they would have to be stupid to not expect it the way the mattresses were set up).
And If i can remember correctly wasn't hoffman wearing a jacket that could have covered over some padding, I couldn't really see where a cut would have been used so maybe Hoffman was just really well padded up and game enough to do it.
i haven’t seen it but hearing you people talking about i think i know how they could have done it. if anyone has seen Austin powers : goldmember you will remember a scene where mini me is flung against a wall, seamlessly mini me gets up from being thrown with no camera change its amazing. it is obvious that its a dummy that was thrown because the stunt would be far to dangerous. and on the dvd it explains they used morphing software to morph the dummy on the instance it hits the ground in to the actual mini me. they could have used this to make the cut between the stunt man and Hoffman more seamless.
Maybe but It would be cool if Hoffman had actually done it.
'Morphing software' we sure have come a long way since 'The Goodies'.
wow way to talk out of your ass based on something you haven't seen.

the more i watched it the more i'm sure it was staged...right when he hits the mattresses you can see him trying to kind of pull himself off as he's bouncing.
