Captured moments
Explore some of the key moments in the history of photography.
We take a close-up look at Hollywood as we try out those invincible tasks our heroes undertake:
Keanu can-do?
If you needed to get a large bus across a larger gap, could you apply the lessons from Speed?
Bungee jump or suicide leap?
Could Bruce Willis have saved the world with a singlet and a hosepipe - or would he just have created a nasty way to Die Hard?
A hill to climb
You're on your way for a cold beer when your ambulance gets stuck in a gully - can you escape like they did in Ice Cold In Alex?
Over-egged?
Fancy an egg? And another? And another... could anyone eat eggs like Paul Newman appears to in Cool Hand Luke?
Plain sailing?
Would your metal boat - and your Gran - really get eaten away by lakes turned to acid, or does the real world not work like Dante's Peak?
Urine - and then you're out?
Can urine really make fabric strong enough to allow escape from prison? Or was Jackie Chan taking the mickey in Shanghai Noon?
