The Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show is a performance show at the Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
It is based on the original show, Moteurs... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Resort Paris, France, which premiered with the park's opening in March 2002.
Revolving around a series of high-octane stunts featuring automobiles, the show had it's soft opening on March 14, 2005, but had it's grand opening on May 5, 2005, as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth festival at the Walt Disney World Resort, in honor of the very first Disney park, Disneyland, celebrating its fiftieth birthday. One aspect of the festival was each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks receiving a new attraction cloned from another Disney resort; the show was one of the star attractions at the Walt Disney Studios theme park at the Disneyland Resort Paris in France.
The show runs for just under 40 minutes and includes pyrotechnics, jet ski chases and physical stuntwork among the car work. The cars are followed by cameras, and the film shown to the audience on a billboard television screen is both shot during the show and pre-recorded, and some shots are even from the Disneyland Resort Paris version of the show. This is to make the show appear as if it were a real movie shoot. For the duration of the celebration, Herbie, the Volkswagen from The Love Bug, makes an appearance in an intermission in the middle of the show, much to the delight of the audience.
The show arena features Mediterranean Village scenery, most likely from the south of France. The arena's construction forced Studio Backlot Tour at the theme park to be almost halved in length, as the arena was built inside the backlot tour's attraction footprint. Artifacts from the history of The Walt Disney Company include a Grumman G-159 turboprop nicknamed "The Mouse", with a tail number of N234MM, once used by Walt Disney himself to fly back and forth from California to New York for the final planning stages of the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, as well as survey the swampland in Florida to find the perfect location that was to become the Walt Disney World Resort.
