Stunt City

This TV ad is from 2006 but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. It’s so good though…no reason a deodorant commercial has to go this hard!

Features a pub you have to visit if you visit Sydney, the Palisades in the Rocks. I've never seen this, despite it being filmed in Sydney and I'm guessing Australian?

I would love an interview with all those stunt performers about the creation of that ad. I can’t imagine that the Aussie stunt world is huge, and it seems to me that there’d be a great concentration of that talent in this one spot. Did anyone get to meet their heroes? Did they get to do their favorites?
