By the way, there is a fight in the toilet in "Denny the Chain Dog".

Is it difficult to film a 2 on 2 fight with hockey sticks with one cameraman (without using stationary cameras and cameras a la GoPro) in a closed toilet of some Khrushchev building?

- Yes, no... not weakly. At the moment there is a rehearsal for a fight with the STRANGER. True, the battle is 1 on one, and with a samurai sword, but in a 2 on 2 room and with a moving, regular camera. It’s so difficult to turn around in this place, not to mention filming there.
I would have wrapped something in the elevator! What a class that would be!

As much as I didn’t like the completely forced previs, I liked Garbage Removal Day. I love well-staged and filmed fights in confined spaces. Off the top of my head, the fight scenes from Chain Dog with Jet Li and Mister Cool with Jackie immediately come to mind. And by the way, in the second Raid she was pretty good in a moving car. In fact, there are few such fights because they are much more difficult to film, so 87 Eleven deserves special respect.

- There was a good scene in the hotel in DRIVE.
Is it more difficult to shoot?
Not likely. You just need to push the camera into the most remote place and everything will be ok.
Personally, it’s easier for me to build a panorama with fighting opponents than to run after one or the other. And it looks much better and more picturesque. Or rather more artistic.

The 87Eleven team is probably one of the top 10 in Hollywood, if you take stunts with elements of BI. They have enough experience.

- Well, I wouldn't say that. Eric's team and those guys who paid tribute by filming a short film about Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s (they also walked through the POLICE STORY supermarket and the HOT Spot shack in the finale) will be more interesting and stronger.
Although if it's a top ten...

I meant the top 10 of those whose services are used in Hollywood.

Previz so-so. It happened three hundred times!
Again the same problem - whoever wants to try the “gingerbread” at the distribution, get IN THE QUEUE!

The second movie reminded me of the fight scene from ROMEO MUST DIE. But the most relish was the finale. Such a colorful bearded man!!! But...on you...the end of the film!
It would be interesting to see what happened next and how the guy got out of it. A BIG PLUS to the creators for the intriguing ending!!!
