- Hello. I am Karen Gillan and I play Sam in the film.
- And I'm director, Navot Papushado.
- And today we are going to take you through a scene
in Gunpowder Milkshake shot by shot.
(latin music continues)
So yes, Sam basically has to fight the same goons,
but this time she does not have the use of her arms.
So she's had Chloe, the young girl,
tape a gun and a knife to either hand,
and she is just going to use every other part
of her body to fight these guys.
So the guys are on laughing gas in this film.
So like not only is it bonkers enough
that I'm in a fight sequence without the use of my arms,
but also the three people that I am killing
are just laughing hysterically the entire time.
(latin music)
(fighting grunts)
(gunshots)
(man screams)
- There's so many moving parts.
And Karen really, I think,
delivered on Sam feeling trapped like a trapped animal.
There's desperation there, but also violence.
And the moment where Yankee holds her
and tries to start biting on her,
and obviously her hands are paralyzed.
She doesn't even notice, but she looks at him like,
seriously, are you biting my hand?
(screams)
- My gosh, this is so crazy.
- This was probably the coolest thing,
the funnest thing we had to shoot.
(latin music)
(man screaming)
- This was a challenge for me,
just because to kind of like isolate your arms,
and make sure that you don't use them.
And don't try to control them as quite a difficult thing
to do, especially when you're in the middle
of a chaotic fight sequence, trying to stay alive.
(gunshots)
So, yeah. I think probably we had to like work
on that quite a lot of
just like do not use the arms whatever you do.
Oh, I love this tooth moment.
Yeah.
Navot came up with this tooth moment actually
on the day it was meant to be something else.
And then he's like, I have an idea.
- In the original script,
it was Karen, you can see this,
there's a fire extinguisher there.
Sam was supposed to come pick it up with her legs,
go and just comes down on his face
with the fire extinguisher.
So we had one of those thinking moments
where we just took at pause.
It's like, wait a minute,
we have this huge shoot that we've established.
This is going to be so much more fun and creative.
- Hey, bonehead.
- It's those moments I think if you find them
inside of an action sequence,
that makes it seem memorable.
And I think again,
can sell it so bloody well.
You know, we got really lucky with Karen.
- Oh, thanks Navot.
