1
00:00:00,770 --> 00:00:02,200
- When I read the script, I thought,

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,550
this could be really epic.

3
00:00:03,550 --> 00:00:05,980
- [Kimani] The styles,
the way the camera moves.

4
00:00:05,980 --> 00:00:08,403
- It's not shot like most actions are.

5
00:00:08,403 --> 00:00:12,610
(high energy electronic music)

6
00:00:12,610 --> 00:00:15,173
- We're inventing this completely anew.

7
00:00:16,042 --> 00:00:19,722
(high energy electronic music)

8
00:00:19,722 --> 00:00:22,300
(yells)

9
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:23,720
(punches thud against flesh)

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,600
- This fight sequence in episode four

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,670
is emblematic of my whole
experience with the series

12
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:31,833
in the sense that it's earth-shattering.

13
00:00:33,178 --> 00:00:35,640
(thumping bass music)

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,460
- We're doing a lot of
Indonesian martial arts,

15
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:39,603
Kali, Silat, some Sarong stuff.

16
00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:42,950
- And it was like a
combination with my style,

17
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:46,112
with my culture, with the supernatural.

18
00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:47,710
(thumping bass music)

19
00:00:47,710 --> 00:00:51,620
- So we have lots of explosions,
lots of fire effects,

20
00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:54,610
debris cannons, you name it.

21
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:57,130
In this scene, in this abandoned casino,

22
00:00:57,130 --> 00:01:00,040
we have a showdown between
the two superpowers,

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,323
a Wu Assassin and a Wu Warlord.

24
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:05,810
- And it's going to be
intercut back and forth

25
00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:07,400
with C.G., Katheryn's character,

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,378
who is fighting on the second level.

27
00:01:09,378 --> 00:01:11,890
(punches thud against flesh)

28
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:14,460
- Even though it looks very organic,

29
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:16,920
it's actually very well-constructed.

30
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,620
- It starts with first reading the script

31
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:19,810
and having the concept meetings,

32
00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:21,310
finding out everybody's vision.

33
00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:23,250
- And then training, training, training.

34
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:25,911
You get lazy or sloppy,
you're gonna get hurt.

35
00:01:25,911 --> 00:01:27,570
(upbeat bass music)

36
00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:29,490
- One, two, three.

37
00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:31,710
- It's such a pleasure
to work with Iko Uwais.

38
00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:33,039
He can move very fast.

39
00:01:33,039 --> 00:01:34,166
♪ Who you gonna call ♪

40
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:38,464
♪ Took his last breath ♪

41
00:01:38,464 --> 00:01:40,170
♪ Top notch assassin ♪

42
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:42,350
- Even the best martial
artists from our stunt team

43
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:44,050
have a hard time keeping up.

44
00:01:44,050 --> 00:01:45,620
- They're playing back the sequence

45
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:46,720
that Iko was just shooting.

46
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,539
I thought it was on fast-forward.

47
00:01:48,539 --> 00:01:51,622
(rapping in Chinese)

48
00:01:52,930 --> 00:01:54,550
- He can do his own choreography.

49
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:56,230
From a filmmaking perspective,

50
00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:58,990
that means we can step
back and see a wider frame.

51
00:01:58,990 --> 00:02:01,560
- When you pull the camera
back, there's no hiding.

52
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960
You actually see these
two people fighting.

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,260
- Everyone's been working really hard

54
00:02:05,260 --> 00:02:06,690
to do something different.

55
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:09,363
- I want to show the audience
a more realistic fight.

56
00:02:10,210 --> 00:02:12,667
- This is definitely a binge watch show.

57
00:02:12,667 --> 00:02:16,000
(upbeat powerful music)
