Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show follows a movie director, stunt manager and production crew as they work on a "live" film set to capture intense vehicle stunts and pulse-pounding chase scenes for an action-packed spy thriller in the south of France.

The show is a scheduled 33-minute attraction for big kids, teens and adults at the end of the Streets of America area in Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process, as secrets are revealed in this thrilling combination of complex vehicle stunts choreographed with split-second precision:

• Engines rev
• Tires squeal
• Breaks screech
• Motorcycles fly through rings of fire
• Cars hurdle over trucks
• Fireballs billow 40 feet in diameter
• A professionally-trained stunt person falls from a 5-story bell tower, another appears to be engulfed in flames
  

Watch the high-speed spy thriller film shot "out of sequence" as the carefully orchestrated stunts play out, increasing in intensity from the first one, a precisely timed "ballet chase," to the frenetic finale: an all-vehicle chase that involves cars, trucks, motorcycles, pyrotechnics and sometimes even high-horsepower jet skis that rocket across a water canal.

The shots are then edited chronologically to create the complete sequence and the extraordinary video is played back on a wall-sized screen.

The Cars

The stunt cars in Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show are highly-modified Opel brand cars. Though they appear stock, they are reinforced with a rally car roll cage for driver safety. They weigh less than half that of a standard production car, but they're twice as powerful. Propelled by a 1300 cc, 150 horsepower motorcycle engine, these cars have a unique gear system: 4 forward gears and 4 reverse gears—useful for quick getaways out of town… backwards!

Show Origins

From France to Florida: The Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show is based on Moteurs… Action! Stunt Show Spectacular that debuted at Walt Disney Studios Paris in March, 2002. The name for the show comes from the French term "Moteurs, Action!" And "action" in this case is an understatement!
