Take Jackie Chan for instance, yes he is from a totally different school of performance, but all his stunts are real, because that is what his audience expects. If you see Jackie free-falling ten stories, he is actually free-falling ten stories.

Anyway, I wouldn't rule out that she used real chains, just because you could as easily do it with fake ones.
