Description
This programme looks at 3 Hollywood stunts and scientifically proves if they are possible. A scene from 'Last castle' is investigated to see if a grappling hook can be propelled from a water hose h...igh enough to hook around the landing support of a helicopter in the air. A scene from 'View to a kill' is investigated to see you can stay underwater by using the air expelled from a car tyre. Finally they look at a scene from 'Deep blue sea' and find out if it is possible to put a live cable from the fuse box and plunge it into an attacking sharks mouth without electrocuting yourself
