This whole thread is hilarious!

Especially this:



Hahahaha!

Thanks for sharing everything you found Aussie. I never cared much for the movies but this is still interesting (and funny).

Hahaha imagine if the majority of Angelina's scenes where just one shot takes every time her face is on camera and the rest is a man. I wonder if they used a body double for the shower scene in the first movie you couldn't really make her out behind that frosted glass!

It's the Judith Gibbin's situation all over again! There is a reason we are not supposed to know who plays Lara...

Pretty sure the shower scene did use a body double, I believe a body double was also used for the main title shot of COL showing 'Angelina' in the silver wetsuit.

To understand the insurance problem and why Angelina could not have a go at doing more of the stunts herself, here is an interesting little article on the problem.

Oh god how funny. Well at least Angelina looked good pouting and delivering her very limited lines.

The Luna Temple sequence was the only good thing about the second movie so pity thing Jan wasn't kept away from the rest of the movie.

I think some male lara cosplayers should cosplay her body double from COL with the crotch bulge. I actually think it would be pretty awesome.

Although I have a few more Tomb Raider stunt stars to look at, the best of which is proving elusive, while trying to pin her down I came across this award winning performance from Salt. Of course it was not Angelina's performance that won this stunt award, it was Janene Carleton's. But we all saw Angelina pretending to do the stunt, and taking all the credit for the stunt. But as always there was a real person who did the real stunt. And she actually got some recognition for it.

Taurus Awards for 2011


Angelina had two stunt doubles covering her stunts for that scene, the other was the elusive one I am having trouble catching, Eunice Huthart. The screen below will be one of them, it is certainly not Angelina Jolie. Personally I think this one looks more like Eunice so perhaps Janene's stunt only got in as the distance shots where it is not possible to identify her. I will look again later.

That was a pretty amazing stunt. I'm glad she got some recognition for it.
