Plane’s Gerard Butler and Mike Colter explain the creepy stunts

new movie plane promises more than what’s on the tin, because the tin just says plane and the movie is really much more than that.

In plane, Hollywood certified running and gunnery, Gerard Butler stars as Brodie Torrance, a pilot whose worst-case scenario begins with a plane crash and ends with a battalion of separatists The Philippines hunts him and his passengers through the jungle of a remote island. Supporting him is Louis Gaspare (Luke’s cage‘s Mike Colter), an accused murderer being transported on the ill-fated flight. There are clear shades of air with the whole thing, but Colter is finally getting the badass action movie he deserves, and with someone as relatable as Butler as his anchor.

plane not a film where audiences will flock to see tight drama and Shakespearean-level monologue. But it was a great time watching the movie because Butler and Colter were successful and sold hits. Action acting is one thing, and these two do it well. But what does it need? Polygon asks the couple to explain what it takes to make a movie plane take off.

How to make airplane action look legit

Gerard Butler: To do this, we built the entire fuselage of an airplane and placed it on a gimbal to throw us around and land. I really think we’re going to topple. At one point, a cameraman literally fell over the railing. He was tied up because it was too violent. I think that gives the audience the feeling that they’re really with us in this cockpit.

Mike Colter: In Gerry’s view, a lot of the anxiety you feel is due to the way [director] Jean-François [Richet] shot it, but all the actors believe in this idea that we’re going to die. We are reacting to this changing, unpredictable quality that gimbal gives us. Lily [Krug] and Kelly [Gale] and Joey [Slotnik] and Otis [Winston] and Danielle [Pineda] and all these people, every flight attendant, everyone believes in this idea of ​​selling out fear.

How to kill a criminal in an action movie with a sledgehammer

authorized dealer: How to bang a guy’s head like a watermelon? Yes, it is great. But have you ever held a sledgehammer? It is really heavy. And I don’t know that I’ve ever used it to hit anything other than a few rocks.

Butler: You don’t remember?

authorized dealer: When you pick it up, you say “This is going to kill someone.” You realize how blunt this thing is – it’s deadly! Just pick it up and swing it. So listen, full disclosure, they must have had fake sledgehammers and real sledgehammers on set. And a fake sledgehammer can hardly look real. So I chose to use the real thing as much as possible, because you can’t fake how heavy it is. Then, apparently, upon contact, it is said to be a fake.

Butler: Should be?

authorized dealer: Weight when you swing it, you have to make sure it doesn’t hit the person’s head. I remember it was very difficult to stop it, and so it was also very difficult to make it look like it was about to hit, so look — we did it somehow. That is [stunt coordinator James M.] Churchman’s idea. He wanted the murder to be really quiet. How do you do that? drop hammer.

Butler: You put in training for that kind of thing. We’ve rounded up the best of the best to show you how to do just that. Usually it’s special forces. But Mike, you have to know what you’re doing.

authorized dealer: It’s all about earplugs. Earplugs are key. It’s a noisy device when it’s off. If you have earplugs, that’s half the battle. Kicks and recoils are something you get used to after a while and if you’ve done enough you’ll feel comfortable, but listen, no one picks up a weapon and starts dropping it flying without earphone.

Butler: I did a lot of shots in between shots and then realized that at the start of that shot, I wasn’t wearing earplugs and you had to do the whole shot and it felt like just that one shot took away. 10% of my hearing. I’ve got a piece in London has fallen, and an explosion happened, and I had tinnitus for two months. The problem is that you don’t want to go, “Cut! Stop!” I literally lost 30% of my hearing from this thing.

authorized dealer: Well, this is why Gerry claims he never heard me. He is laying the groundwork.

How to slap-fight with meaning

Butler: Our hand-to-hand fight in this movie is… a real fight.

authorized dealer: Yeah, the other guy is a local and really doesn’t like Gerry’s movies. He showed up to set up and you guys just started fighting and we recorded it, right?

Butler. We finally made friends. But no, part of the fun of this movie is that we’re not dealing with superheroes. We are dealing with ordinary people in unbelievable circumstances. So when I was fighting in that moment, I remembered that everyone’s life depended on whether I could survive or not. I’m not just fighting for me, I’m fighting for the lives of all the passengers. So it’s desperate and it’s messy and it’s exhausting. And we did it all in one go, which is very rare; Usually we break those things up. Therefore, it to be mess and it to be tired. And most of the time it’s really just pushing with force and for me that’s much more believable than a stunt – punches, kicks. I love this fight.

How to make a really great action movie instead of a good one

Butler: The difference is really? believe in the story. There is a lot of passion for it. And don’t want to be embarrassed when the movie comes out! You don’t want anyone to think, “Oh, that moment was convenient,” “That moment was dishonest,” “That moment wasn’t fun at all.” So we identify all these moments and make them as interesting, exciting, moving, unexpected as possible and ultimately something that everyone can empathize with. You ground each moment. These are ridiculous situations, but you play them as reliably as possible.
