Stunt people (替身演员 ) who entertained cinema-goers by falling for the sky, swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by technology. Aft
27、er generations of street fights, high falls, and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action. In the mid-1990s there were 12,000 registered stunt pe
