Source: Firemen's Fund, insurer of major Hollywood films for more than 85 years, reports that in "reel life" Crazy Heart was the riskiest film to insure. The film included risky elements such as a hot air balloon crash, car weaving and rollover, and a boat sequence on a lake. These type of scenes require precision, expert driving and experienced stunt people. If the events of these movies were to occur in real life, however, the risks and results may be different!
