    Did Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman actually jump out of a plane in the skydiving scene in their recent film 'The Bucket List'?

    Question #93540. Asked by billythebrit. (Mar 15 08 7:15 AM)

    This was the best answer I could find...

    "It looks like Nicholson and Freeman actually did go to India to see the Taj Mahal, but most of their other international jaunts are studio scenes with CGI backdrops. The skydiving routine too obviously uses computer graphics to paste their faces onto the heads of stunt doubles."

    Tanner Gill did the stunts in The Bucket List for Jack Nicholson, for the Car Chase and Skydiving scenes.

    My research reveals the conclusions of Simone.

    A pair of stunt doubles are skydiving out of a plane. The movie uses special effects to paste the faces of the two actors onto the heads of the stunt doubles diving through the clouds.
