Dangerman: The Incredible Mr. Goodwin

There doesn’t seem to be any trickery here, no video sleight-of-hand. Goodwin is upfront in his methods.

Dangerman is packed with more danger than you could ever have hoped for. And that’s the problem. Too many stunts, too tightly packed together, and none of it live.

He sits around thinking up outrageous stunts, and you have to admire the fact that he’s turned it into a career. That doesn’t make it any more compelling as a spectator sport, because with each succeeding stunt the gasps get a little less visceral.
