Transcript

Introducing Uh, chair devils of Hollywood! Alright everybody, I want you to realize this is supposed to be a war! A terrible war! So make it look that way! Are you about ready for my scene with the Gilmore?

Yes, we're ready in a couple of takes, Dick. Now here's what I want you to do. We're going to blow up that building with a cork bomb. A shell is supposed to hit it, I see.

But to really pull it down with the anawires won't you? That's right. But the explosion will look real. Now there'll be rocks, bricks and everything else falling. I get it, I get it. And where am I supposed to be?

You're dubbing the leading man, standing in the doorway. Now when the explosion starts, you begin to run. But you fall, and all these bricks and rocks land on top of you. Now you get the idea? Yes, sir.

Everything's ready to shoot, Mr. Gilmore. Alright, let's go. Set your exit, Charlie. Faces! Take your places! Quiet! Now we'll do it, justice will rehearse. Hey, special effects, y'all. Set the most bombs. I'll set the still ones.

Alright, the take! Pull them! From Hollywood, the motion picture capital of the world, we bring you the thrilling true life experiences of those men behind the scene.

Those daring unsung heroes whose breathtaking adventures on the screen have thrilled millions. Whose daily jobs bring them face to face with them. Those men who comprise the strangest fraternity on Earth. The Suicide Squad. The movie Stunt Man.
