i hear ya, but this seems like a monumentally simple thing to fix.

fall frontwards, lay a mat down, change the camera angle, etc etc

oh MANNNNN. i know that scene very well, as BTTF is one of my favorite movies ever and it gets me every time. the sound when his skull hits the pavement is bone chilling for me.

I guess back in the 80s it was a little more "put some ice on it and laugh at the stars circling around his head" and now its more - yikes thats a brain injury, but it still gets me pretty bad.

EDIT: to be clear, im talking about him hitting his head on the pavement in the movie, not the stuntman.

thats what i thought too.

i figured if it was a stunt fall (which i am sure it was), there would have been some protections in place to make sure the head didnt slam onto concrete.
