In the season 2 finale of “Full House,” titled “Luck Be a Lady,” Jesse Katsopolis (played by John Stamos) and Rebecca Donaldson (played by Lori Loughlin) embark on a thrilling adventure that has become one of the most iconic scenes in the show’s history. The episode features a hair-raising bungee jump from a helicopter hovering over San Francisco Bay.
### Stunt Doubles or Real Stars?

* Behind-the-scenes footage shows the actors wearing harnesses and jumping from the helicopter.
* The scene is so well-executed that it would have been difficult to recreate with stunt doubles.

The bungee jump scene in “Luck Be a Lady” became a cultural phenomenon and helped solidify “Full House” as one of the most popular sitcoms of the 1980s and 1990s. It also inspired parodies and references in other TV shows and movies.
