The Terrifying AC/DC Music Video Stunt That Left Angus Young Flying Blind

Filming the world's biggest rock and roll icons meant playing by a completely different set of rules, where dangerous stunts, unscripted chaos, and legendary pranks were just another day at the office. In this exclusive look behind the scenes, legendary director David Mallet joins Angus Young and Brian Johnson to recount the absolute madness that went into creating AC/DC's most memorable music videos. From the early Australian days of using film to bridge massive geographical gaps, to pushing structural limits on sets worldwide, the band proved that true rock and roll cannot be overproduced or neatly scripted. The stakes were higher than anyone realized on set. You will hear firsthand how a simple directorial vision turned terrifying when Angus was rigged to wires and dropped off a thirty-foot balcony, exposing a severe case of vertigo that the director knew absolutely nothing about. If that was not enough, the crew pushed limits again on a massive sixty-foot tower of amplifiers in the dark, and even sent a body double to the hospital testing a reckless wrecking ball stunt. Beyond the near-misses and adrenaline, the legendary rock icons share the hilarious realities of their craft, including the time Arnold Schwarzenegger tried learning the iconic duck walk in California, and how strict MTV censorship forced the band to alter their footage just to get on the airwaves. This is the raw, comedic, and high-intensity reality of how AC/DC conquered the screen and kept the spirit of rock alive. Want to watch more pop culture documentaries?
