Here are some of the best movie stunts of 2018.
The Halo jump was that thing.
The Night Comes for Us
Standout stunt: All.
(For that reason, were only showing the trailer and not an actual clip from the movie.)
The sequences just keep escalating.
Uwais, known forThe Raidmovies, choreographed the action.
In that scene, you cant really cheat doubles.
The sequence, which took approximately four days to shoot, was initially mapped out as one continuous take.
When we started designing that thing, there were a lot of factors involved.
The performers have to be pinpoint, the camera moves have to be pinpoint, Eusebio notes.
The biggest obstacle for Eusebio was going from rehearsing individually with the actors to rehearsing all together on set.
The results speak for themselves.
Many of the battle sequences were complemented by elongated shots, tracking the action from one space to another.
Game Night
Standout scene: Keep away
Epic stunts arent always chase scenes and close combat.
Attention must be paid to physical comedy.
Once he landed on the choreography, it was time to put it to the test.
He gathered his stunt team and recorded a concept previz to double-check it worked.
The principal cast rehearsed this sequence several times in rehearsal before deciding to just go for it.
The first time, they got halfway through before having to reset.
Another time, the stunt guy falling down the stairs lost control of the egg.
It was grueling on the stuntman, though.
Each time were redoing it, hes doing another stair fall, Ritzi laughs.
