It was edited in such a way that you couldn't tell the runners were really doing it. They looked just like average stuntmen doing normal movie stunts.

Originally Posted By dizkid Well if they do five then they will have to finish it off with 6. Thats just the way it works. The number of movies before ending a story: 1, 2 , 3, 6, 8. The only special cases are the James Bond series which can do as many as they want. But be warned the more you make the more the probability that the next film will have the word 3-d will go up. Not like (Film Title) in 3-D, but (Film Title) 3-D, and thats when the franchise must DIE.
