we spent months learning how to beat the
crap out of one another our stunt
coordinator Damon was versed in the
variety of martial arts and he taught us
variety of different moves and when he
laid out the the initial design of the
fight for us he described it as being a
take on the classic western bar brawl
complete with drawings of you know
sliding beer mugs sarsaparilla and
everything and then obviously cloaking
it in what you're seeing now which is a
nothing like a Western bar brawl it's
more like a city being torn to pieces
but um yeah it's very interesting shoot
apply like this obviously a lot of it is
computer enhanced you know by that we
did a lot more of it then people
probably think we did and we would shoot
it all in little tiny fragments you know
we go in one day and use the punch we're
going the next day and do the kick and
then and get everything just so as we
want it to be the best fight anybody has
ever seen so I guess when we do one or
two things do that I can keep standing
here talking about my experience
shooting the battle or you can actually
watch the rest of the battle so which
one you want
oh you want to watch the resin battle of
course all right well here it is I think
the way that the fights are different in
this movie is the combination of basic
fight choreography with wirework and
with green screen and CGI of us as
people as well as the background there's
a SuperSpeed aspect and beyond the scope
of what is actually humanly possible and
it's in great fun working with the guys
doing the wire work for hours on end and
all round had great fun with Damon and
the whole stunt team they're really good
people and that makes a difference
because when you're doing something
which is physically taxing and tricky to
do because it's so new it makes it that
much easier when you've got guys who are
actually enjoying it with you
and having a laugh and having fun and
working exceptionally hard to get it
right - and I think that's what makes
these particularly exciting because
anything can happen and and what the
imagination allows does happen in this
there's a lot to be said for it because
you get to fly and that is fun move is
there boom
[Applause]
[Music]
yeah
[Applause]
[Music]
all right watching my brown that's what
oh yeah physical now everybody's okay we
go like this strong that's the ticket
that's more like a chiropractic in just
plus the whole thing if you've won beat
of Hold'em it's one half dangerous Cathy
you know I wanted to be a drummer but I
was always a Beatle I wouldn't think
want to be hercules an athlete everyone
be ready look okay do it so here we are
at the train station which is the ending
of this massive massive arduous theme to
shoot and this was actually shot in
Union Station in Chicago and the way we
came down to the end is it's very very
emotional
Superman is about to be forced to kill
Don so this is just Michael and Henry
the visual effects are minimal here it's
just mano a mano basically a struggling
grappling match in order for Superman to
try and save the citizen and it was
intense it was emotional and it was
really really physical for these two
guys we worked really hard and was
actually some of the most arduous of the
stunt scenes for these guys it was
really physical yet so emotional all the
way up until Henry has to takes on out
the welling up and the scream of emotion
is just haunting and the entire crew is
kind of a non frozen
