The Man with the Golden Gun. 1974. This stunt was the first to use computer modeling to calculate the correct speed & trajectory. Referred to now as the ‘astro spiral jump’, it was shot in Thailand w/ British stunt driver Bumps Willard behind the wheel of this AMC Hornet X. #filmsky #bond #cinema

Die Hard w/ a Vengeance. 1995. One of the coldest, stop-dead-in-your-tracks openings. This isn’t digital FX, this was a controlled explosion using propane mortars at 23rd & Fifth in collaboration with the FDNY. Months of planning to shoot a few seconds in a single take. #filmsky #diehard #cinema

High and Low. 1963. Dir: Akira Kurosawa. If you haven’t journeyed into Kurosawa yet, this is an excellent starting point. 60s film noir; a perfectly twisted crime thriller, set against a backdrop of Tokyo hilltop mansions and their guttural slums below. Spectacular. #filmsky #cinema #kurosawa

Friday the 13th. 1980. Dir: Sean S. Cunningham. While not the first slasher, it put the genre on the map — on a $500K budget it made $400M, and by 1981 the genre exploded, churning out 3-4 slashers per month. Do you have a favorite slasher? 🔪 #filmsky #horror #slasher
