context_page_description: The Lights, Motors, Action!: Extreme Stunt Show, is a stunt show performed at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris and formerly performed at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The show is designed to be and look like a movie set, and the show is dedicated to show the process of how action movies are created. The Moteurs... Action! show originally premiered with the Walt Disney Studios Park when it opened in March 2002. The Lights, Motors, Action! version of the show debuted three years later at Disney's Hollywood Studios as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth festival, in which each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks opened a new attraction that been copied from another Disney resort.
  Revolving around a series of energetic stunts featuring automobiles, the show runs for just under 40 minutes, and includes scenes of car-based action, pyrotechnics, jet ski chases, and physical stuntwork. The cars are followed by cameras, and film, both shot during the show and pre-recorded, is shown to the audience on a billboard television screen.
context_section_description: The pre-show features clips of action scenes involving car chases from various action thriller films including The Rock (1996), Con Air (1997), Enemy of the State (1998), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), Speed (1994), and Ronin (1998). The version that played at Disney's Hollywood Studios omits the clips from the latter two films.
  The main show starts off with the "Ballet Chase," (Sequence 7A) featuring a red "hero car" (Hero 1) being chased by five black "pursuit cars." This scene ends with the hero car jumping backwards off of a ramp, and the fifth (a specially designed pursuit) car being blown in half.
  While the next scene is being set up, they observe the film and how they film with a low camera angle. They also explain how "Video Assist" works, and they introduce the hero car driver explain how a second hero car, (Hero 2) designed so that the driver faces out the back, was used for the backwards jump.
  The next scene, the "Blockade Chase," (Sequence 8) is set in a marketplace, with the car chase taking place around obstacles such as trucks and farm stands. The scene ends with the hero car driving up the back of a truck bed, over a second truck, and landing on an airbag.
  As the third scene is being set up, a driverless hero car (Hero 3) is shown, and an audience volunteer is brought down to drive it via "remote control." After the volunteer appears to lose control of the vehicle, it is revealed that the car actually does have a driver, who is hidden on the far side of the vehicle out of sight of the audience.
  The fourth sequence, the "Motorcycle Chase," (Sequence 3) begins with the "hero" going into a motorcycle shop and commandeering a blue one, (Hero 4) being chased by two black pursuit motorcycles and three cars. The "hero" later switches to a red jet ski (which was then turned black due to the first version breaking down), and eventually faces his pursuers on foot. This scene features a stuntman falling thirty feet from a building into an airbag, as well as the rider of one of the pursuit motorcycles catching on fire.
  As the final scene is set up, they explain the specially treated clothing that allowed the final rider to be safely set on fire.
  The final scene (Sequence 10) begins with footage being shown on the large video screen of the previous stunt sequences edited into a finished film. As the film on the screen reaches its climax, fire erupts in the canal area at the front of the stage. The hero car appears on stage, being chased by a black pursuit car, and heads behind one of the buildings. A few seconds later, the hero car reenters from the second story of the building, down the bed of a truck parked in front of the building, and jumps a ramp across the canal directly towards the audience. Fireworks and explosions are set off as the car exits through a tunnel under the grandstands.
  Afterward, a curtain call of all of the vehicles used in the movie shoot is shown, with the black pursuit cars and motorcycles, and all of the faces of the hero in the film (the three red hero cars and the blue motorcycle). The stunt coordinator then explains that all of the vehicles that were shown during the show were specifically designed for all the stunts in the movie shoot and that all of the drivers and stunt people were highly trained and skilled at what they do, and that to not try any of the stunts at home. The crew then tells the audience to enjoy the rest of the day at Disney Hollywood Studios (or some other variation in France) and to drive safely.
  The vehicles then exit the visible part of the stage to the audience, but the red hero car (Hero 1) is the last car to leave. The red hero car does three drifting turns, waves at the audience at the same time, and exits the stage. The ending music then plays, and the television screen returns to its original picture. Queue music then starts back up again as crew members start to clean up the area to set up for the next show.
  After the show, an announcement is played, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, we hoped you enjoyed 'Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show!'! Remember these
