“We do not match anything [from the hallway scene]. The only matching is that we do it in one take. That’s the only matching. That’s the only similarity. Well, no, there’s 1 more similarity, but it’s basically the only similarity inside that sequence and I consider I can be secure to say that it’s not something like the original other than it is 1 take and I’ve in no way skilled or noticed something like it. And I feel what J.J. Perry did as the fight coordinator is some thing phenomenal.
I will say this, I thought there is no way I could possibly pull it off till about a week just before we did it soon after rehearsing it for very a although.”
