The choreography, it took me about two weeks to learn this fight.” Henry continues, “I’m just going to tell you, the most distracting part of the fight is Brad’s hair. Like he just has this golden wheat, wavy, beautiful Vidal Sassoon f*****g hair. I’ve never seen anything like it. “
bullet train Had completely unique fighting styles
bullet train featured some of the most original and well-coordinated battles in recent memory. Unlike many movies, the film avoids fast shots and camera shake, with wide angles and longer shots being used for the combat. Greg Reenter, Second Unit director and stunt coordinator behind the film, also shared his take on the silent car fight scene.
“There has to be acting in the action. Let’s talk about something like the Lemon vs. Ladybug fight. They sit at a table in a quiet car, which is gold,” he explains. “How do you fight while you’re quiet? So we thought, ‘Let’s put them in awkward positions so that if she catches them, they have to look like buddy-buddy, so instead of just punching punching punching for no reason, do we put them in rhythms.”
although bullet train is no longer in theaters, fans can still grab the 4K, DVD and Blu-ray editions later this month on October 18. Of course, given the success of the first film, don’t be surprised if Brad Pitt returns for an eventual sequel. But for now, fans hope we get to see more of the bullet train universe.
