What is your favorite Tintin stunt?

Mine is probably the one where Tintin grabs onto the Condor's legs, though I think that Herge should have given Tintin one of the stunts from the JO and Zette Books. (The one where Jo's father drives a plane that's on fire into the ocean to put the fire out)

My favourite, without a question, is where he attempts to jump from one of the Marlinspike grounds walls onto the top of a moving car.

I can't remember what book it was from, but i can remember that he didn't make it and ended up face planting into the road. Gave me a good laugh.

I thought a great stunt is the one where tintin is in the run away caravan chasing dr muller. It must hurt quite a lot tumbling about inside.

The classic stunt that has to be the best of the all isthe legendary jump from the moving train coach over that bridge with a sheer drop into river. WOW!

If he had done a belly flop I don't we would have seen any more adventures... -_-

definately the jumping off the train into the river one. i never get tired of watching that. and also when he drives the tank through the house. hilarious.

I agree with that..

My favourite? From the comics, the 'From Train to River jump' It was heroic. As a train enthusiast, i beleive that Tintin took courage to pull it off. The sequence of grabbing on a handlebar of the train exterior and leaping from it and got a nice, wet, bath as he plunges into the river. I was thinking whether Tintin could possibly jump from train to train. Note: The stunt is not on the roof but in the train itself and it's a metro train that I thought off. I would upload the train picture on my next post.
