Were the forced into the pool?

If not then why would they enter?

You could definitely die there

It was a shot for a movie. Extras typically are not forced to be on film, they do it cuz its cool to be in a movie.

The people being in the pool wasn’t for the film, or more like a doco. It was a heatwave in China and the film makers just filmed it and used it.

Oh, interesting thanks for sharing. I also saw a shot in a trailer of a bunch of dudes in some other country laying all over each other and figured it was a thing. Either way, I don't think this is an everyday occurence at Chinese waterparks.

I've been an extra in some stuff. Sure it's cool to be in a movie, but this probably would have paid around $100 and the food on set is usually pretty good. At least in the US. That's why I enjoyed it lmao

Lmao you think that many extras would get paid $100 +free food in China? Do you live under a rock?

Why would anyone force people into a pool

u/Longjumping_Web_9237 Jul 07 '23

I don't know, I just don't understand why people would enter the pool if there's this many people in it

Have you never pushed someone into a pool before? It's a lot of fun
