stunt show

Thrilling action spectacle

A stunt show is a live performance featuring dangerous or spectacular physical feats—car crashes, explosions, falls from heights, fight choreography.

Theme parks commonly stage stunt shows demonstrating movie-making techniques: The stunt show at Universal Studios runs three times daily.

The format emphasizes spectacle and controlled risk.
