- Hi, I'm Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
- Hi, my name is Miku Martineau.
- And today we're going to take a look at
how our new stunt performers did
in some Kate-style action.
- This is what the inside of my brain looks like!
- I'm glad you guys are excited.
My name's Jonathan Eusebio.
I'm the second unit director, stunt coordinator for Kate.
Basically, if you know the premise of Kate,
we have an assassin who's been poisoned
and she has basically 24 hours to
basically take revenge on her killers.
- Today what we're going to do is,
kind of give you a glimpse of
fighting styles and stuff that she did throughout the movie.
You're going to learn it
and then we're gonna apply it to a scene.
Are you ready?
Any fears or phobias?
- Not doing good.
- Not doing good. All right. - I fear nothing!
- As long as you don't have a fear of heights
and a fear of hitting people,
I think you guys will be fine tonight.
Let's get started.
We're at the wire portion of the opening.
Paula up there is going to go up first with the camera
and she'll be above you.
You guys are going to descend at the same time.
So what happens is on this one,
there'll be two guys going,
so on "go", I'm gonna have two guys here,
they're going to be looking up.
On one, they look up.
So it's almost like you shot them on the way down.
Let's try. So we should put her in a harness.
- Yeah. - Yup.
- Sick! This is the dream!
- There you go.
- [Jonathan] There you go. How's that?
There we go. That's good.
Ready? And three, two, one, go.
- [Jonathan] Yes!
- How are you with firearms?
- I shoot.
There's definitely a learning curve.
- Okay. For our style of choreography,
like close quarter combat with a gun,
the whole thing too, is like trigger control.
There's a rhythm and cadence to everything.
Even with gunfire.
Go, let's go like he's coming forward at you.
Go one, two.
and then as he falls forward, stop him.
And then one, two, go ahead.
So what happens is you're going to come here.
It's like you ran out of bullets.
So you get rid of your mag,
and then you're going to get another one.
As soon as you put it in,
we're going to have Justin come out,
but he's going to grab your gun.
You're going to grab his.
Let him steer you around.
So he's going to slam your hand down.
And then when you feel that, just let go of this gun.
And you're going to basically palm him in the chest,
like you're pushing him.
With the same hand, take this gun.
What we're going to do is grab the side of his head
and the same thing.
Just follow him and just kind of follow through.
Yeah, you can look at it for now.
Good.
Punch his chest. Good.
Take the gun.
Grab his head and then...
- [Jonathan] ...yes!
- [Jonathan] Oh, wow.
- That's what you get.
- All right. You're in the final section.
- I'll do my best.
- All right, do your best.
So movie fighting's a lot different from like real fighting.
You can be really far away from your opponent.
So just imagine there's a,
let's say this camera right here.
There's an imaginary line going from that camera
to where I want to hit.
All you gotta do is break that line.
Right here, we're gonna elbow
and then we're gonna hit and retract.
But we're just going to add on now.
He's going to prefix everything with a punch
and you're going to kind of do what
most of us call a center block.
Now you combine it.
One,
two.
Right from this, you gotta take the same hand you just hit.
He's going to throw a punch.
So it's almost like The Karate Kid,
You wave hello.
- Okay.
- Here we go.
Wave hello.
Straight to the body.
And, action!
Good! You're going to head-slam on this wall.
Yes. You're going to watch Fung start to get up,
open that door and then when he's coming forward, hit him.
- [Jonathan] Action!
- All right. I think we're ready to go. You ready?
- I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
- [Man Over Speaker] All right, John, play it.
- I'm very excited.
- I know, I'm excited too.
- Oh my god, she's going for it. - [Miku] Oh, ouch!
- [Miku] Oh, ouch! - She's tough!
Wow. Okay they're really showing me up.
I don't know how to feel
about this anymore.
Ooh, hand to hand.
- Nice punches.
- [Mary] Wow.
- [Man Offscreen] You've watched these performances.
- Yes.
- [Man Offscreen] You guys are the judges.
- I mean, it's difficult
because they're all really unique.
And really, really, good.
- And they're all really into it too.
- Really into it. They're all giving it their all.
- [Mary] I love how each one has a different performance.
They're like entirely different characters
performing the same moves. - Mhmm.
- I think I know who my favorite is.
- I think I know who my favorite is too.
- I love Kiera.
- I love Kiera too!
- [Mary] They're so good. - I know, they're so good.
- I really, it's almost like, I don't like it.
'Cause they're too good.
- I gave it my best,
so I feel like I did great.
- I mean, I followed the instructions.
- That
was
amazing!
- I feel like, just because the teachers were so good,
there had to have been something there.
- JoJo and the whole team were incredible.
- It really made me feel
like I actually could like beat their butts.
- I feel like it's going to look awesome.
- Mary, today I felt like the main character
and you've inspired me to be that
for the rest of my life. So thank you.
- Who are you?
- [Kate] I'm Kate.
