Members ReddFoxx Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 I don't know if this has been done, but I thought it would be a fun topic. What I'm referring to is stunts and visual effects so bad that it is stands out. My pick is from the Bold and the Beautiful when Stephanie was shot, the direction was off and the stunt double looked nothing like Stephanie, just off all around.

Members Antoyne Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Might as well make this a Days thread :-). But Dru's epic fall on Y&R still makes me giggle. <iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CryFVPL7q4A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R Sinclair Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Good. Both of them were posted. What immediately came to mind was Dru & the Cliff (which made it look as if they shot her from up above laying on her stomach) as well as Clear Springs (don't get me started on the pebble hitting Victoria, because I'll laugh myself to tears) -- both Y&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Okay, I thought GL's earthquake scenes were rather well-done for a soap. They certainly wouldn't have been able to do that in 2007! Remember when Reva was "hit" by Olivia's car in 2007 even though she was standing in the middle of Main Street and no car physically struck her? Oy, that was a bad scene. Just like B&B's Stephanie scene, DAYS once had a bad stunt-double back in 1999 when Princess Gina literally set Stefano on fire. One moment, we see Stefano (Joe Mascolo) with his arm on fire; next we see some skinny stranger with some sort of fire-protectant shield covering his entire head, dancing around the room with his whole body on fire. It was kind of funny and kind of disturbing at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 The stunt double in "Who Shot Stephanie?" looks like Phil Donahue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 I was fine with the whole San Cristobel earthquake until I heard possibly the most ridiculous supposition I've ever heard on television in my life. "Do you think Olivia arranged this little earthquake to cover her tracks?". WHO JUMPS TO THAT KIND OF CONCLUSION??? Please tell me it didn't turn out that that actually was the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted September 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 I had forgotten that Clear Springs was staged like something on public access in a rec room. And Drucilla's fall just speaks for itself. Some shows should never be allowed to use CGI, because that was a terrible use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 I pretty much hate all CGI on daytime. It is obviously the cheapest CGI available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 Stephanie on B&B always has the worst stunt doubles. It's always so obviously a man in a silver wig. The same happened in September of last year when she was going down that damn slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 Coronation Street - the closeup of the tram driver's (Piers Morgan's long lost twin brother) face is a hoot, and at times it looks like a toy train gone wild, especially when it slams down.

Members ReddFoxx Posted September 13, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 Now that was really too much, at one point it looked and sounded like the train was alive and causing destruction on it's own. More hilarious than terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
