Channel 4 has commissioned a two-hour special featuring Hollywood legend and action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger from Zig Zag Productions.
In the two-hour special ‘Arnie’s 50 Greatest Ever Stunts’, Arnold Schwarzenegger will take viewers through the stunts that have wowed audiences with their feats of strength, endurance, bravery and sometimes just dumb luck.
In addition to commentary from fans, comedians, stunt coordinators and daredevils, this celebration of skill and courage will take a behind-the-scenes look at how these jaw-dropping stunts came together with Schwarzenegger offering insight into what it takes to be a real life action hero.
The special will feature some of the most famous, well-orchestrated, expert driven stunts ever; from Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits in between two speeding lorries to the big budget jaw-droppers harnessing the most cutting edge technology, such as Felix Baumgartner’s legendary supersonic free fall from 128,000 from the earth’s stratosphere.
