They used the same set that Kubrick made for the spaceship scenes in 2001. The whole set rotated, therefore they are actually standing up straight.

Tesla machine. Have you not scene The Prestige?

uh... bros???

they used a big centrifuge the whole stage is moving and the camera is stabilized but they had to be careful not to rippen

so they just had a bunch of pins on the floor? what if they tripped?

Not only that, what if someone stole the pins?

For me, it's Say Say Say.

Being a stout Catholic and judging by his current girlfriend, Mel likes them young. Would he have approved of Michael Jackson? I believe so, yes.

It was pretty easy to turn any any skinny backup dancer into a lookalike. Michael wore a ton of makeup and hairpieces which is an easy look to duplicate and the sunglasses hide a lot of the face.

Notice the body doubles didn't really do much dancing or any singing, they just had to look right for a second before everybody started looking at something else. A fairly obvious trick but it was well done.

The pins retract. You just had to memorize your position on the stage for the lean and get used to discreetly hooking yourself on.

I think I saw something on tv once about how the pins could retract into the floor and only popped up during the one song so they weren't tripping over them all the time and also so people were less likely to figure out the trick.

It was pretty high-tech shit but they had an insane budget, i'm sure his stage crews were the best.

HEE HEE

this was in my town actually, the dude flew through the canvas and landed like a block away. there's a tarp over the hole now

It's either MJ live in bucharest on the dangerous tour, or live in budapest for the history tour, if you look up the video for smooth criminal, you can see actually see the rods stay up for a bit after he finishes the lean and then come back down

then they would have tripped. maybe they would have fallen? it was a risk they were willing to take.

yeah, okay buddy

MJ is completely in charge here.

Okay but how did they lean so goddamn much forward and then come back?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Lots of leg strength

through the power of heehee i guess

I don't think it's that tricky. Take a look at OP's image, the angle between their foot and tibia is nothing extraordinary. Hiking uphill on a steeper terrain basically produces the same. Aside from that, it's all about lower leg strength.

Explain how his leg doesn't break

MJ actually patented the shoes, so you can read every detail of the design and use.

I feel fucking cheated
I legitimately thought MJ invented this as an authentic dance move and have spent hours of my life trying to recreate

this is like if the moon walk was him just walking forward while being pulled by a rope...

Not that guy but the amount of leg strength needed to pull this off is already a feat. It's a trick that's not the easiest to pull off.

The shoes were probably calf high.

holy shit

It's a classic way of projecting a "ghost" into a 3D area. The best example of it is the haunted mansion at Disneyland.

This was the best fuckin ride for shithead-ery. You and your bros would go in there and do all kinds of stupid and possibly lethal shit, just you vs gravity and centrifugal motion, while the meth-freak ride operator tweaked out in the middle not giving a single fuck.
