Kevin Costner did much of the stunts featuring the Mariner on the zipline himself, much to the dismay of producer Charles Gordon. However, he was actually safely attached to the zipline with a body harness, and there was a built-in brake to slow him down at the end. Director Kevin Reynolds did the stunt himself first to demonstrate its safety. Of course, great care had to be taken with the timing of the explosions as Costner slid by. For the shot where Mariner throws a hook on the plane, that is Costner himself doing it: a pontoon and a camera were attached to a crane that was moved with high speed over the real Costner as he hooked it (the set had to be reinforced to accommodate the heavy crane). The plane's subsequent crash was filmed on a real tarmac that was dressed up as the deck of the Deez.
