Obvious stunt double of Wesley during son's near drowning


Watch right as Gil is pulling the kid up from the water; they show Bobby's shocked face, but it isn't Wesley, it's a stunt double. Especially obvious because the film is slowed down right at that moment to make it particularly noticeable. Surprising mistake considering what a veteran director Tony Scott was. Maybe he and Wesley had friction at some point on-set and this was his revenge.

yeah, lol. Different shaped head, a younger guy with less facial hair. Wesley don't do water.

Me and my mom talk about that to this day! So obvious!

Looks like Dennis Rodman

I noticed that too, haha! They focused the camera on his face and you can clearly see it isn't Snipes.

Yes! That scene killed me. I paused it and had a good laugh.
