gymnastics
Does anyone know if SJP did any of her own gymnastics stunts.
shareI doubt it- there were parts in the last dance scene that were clearly someone else. SJP has a pretty petite figure, and you can tell its someone else at certain parts. She has rhythm though!
shareI know she was a dancer growing up. She's in like every 80s dance movie. Ok, not really, but she's in Footloose, too. I dunno if it's all her, though.
shareDoubt it. The body-doubles are very obvious when they appear. As you'll probably will notice, they never shoot SJP face in the gymnastics routines. That's because they can't, because that's not her jumping around. Would've been cool if it was though.
shareSJP did not do her own gymnastics in the movie. If u watch the credits the girl who did them is listed as a gymnastics stunt double. Also if u have the DVD, go to the last scene at the end of the competition and use your DVD player remote to view the movie frame by frame (I believe that almost all DVD players have this ability); when SJP and Lee Montgomery do the gymnastics so that they can win the competition u can clearly see the face of SJP's stunt double when viewed frame by frame. Also. u can see that the stunt doubles hair is a bit different than SJP's.
shareOkay, it's been a while since I have seen this, and I figured she didn't do the gymnastics, but wasn't there a part of the dancing where she did the splits or something during a dance sequence (maybe when they were practicing)...and it WAS SJP? Or was that the stunt double too...
shareI would need to get my dvd out and go frame by frame but from my knowledge of SJP she probably did do her own splits and most of the dancing b/c she has danced since she was a young child and starred as Annie on Broadway.
Hope this helps...
