Meanings

Very perilous; involving a lot of danger.
Mature might not have been in on the singing, but he does get to end the movie in fine style with a spectacular helicopter chase at an abandoned airbase, where we witness a death-defying stunt as the helicopter flies through an open hangar.
2012, James McKay, The Films of Victor Mature (Chapter "The Las Vegas Story")
