Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show follows a movie director, stunt manager and production crew as they work on a “live” film set to capture intense vehicle stunts and pulse-pounding chase scenes for an action-packed spy thriller in the south of France.

The show is a scheduled 33-minute attraction for big kids, teens and adults at the end of the Streets of America area in Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park.

The Cars

The stunt cars in Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show are highly-modified Opel brand cars. Though they appear stock, they are reinforced with a rally car roll cage for driver safety. They weigh less than half that of a standard production car, but they’re twice as powerful. Propelled by a 1300 cc, 150 horsepower motorcycle engine, these cars have a unique gear system: 4 forward gears and 4 reverse gears—useful for quick getaways out of town… backwards!

Side car trick.

Herbie!

I was less than a second shy of catching the car better going through the explosion.

Burnout at the end

Favorite shot. After this rider goes through some fire, he stays burning for acouple minutes.
