No action sequence was more ambitious, demanding, or intricately assembled than Extraction 2’s ‘oner’
Extraction 2And, numerous problems aside, with good reason. The ‘oner’ comprises three main acts. In the first stage, Rake breaks the family out of the jail, fighting their way out of a nightmarish active prison riot as they go. In act two, a frenetic, in-your-face car and bike chase sequence sees Rake and company flee from Zurab’s armed gang of thugs.
“The DNA of this franchise is about doing things on camera as much as possible,” Hargreaves explains. “There’s something tangible about real stunts performed by real people and, as a human being, you see that and know it’s real. So much of what we shot is practical that, when we do augment scenes with VFX, it’s harder for people to tell when you’ve put in a distant CGI background, or a set extension if you’re shooting in another location.
In fact, the numbers behind the whole sequence are staggering. Over 400 stunt performers and extras were used in the prison yard sequence. Hemsworth also learned 5,000 choreographed moves and underwent a week of live fire training for the seconds-long scene where Rake’s right arm is set ablaze by a Molotov cocktail.For the motorbike and car chase section, over 150 vehicles were rented for the sequence – 116 more were bought to refit for filming purposes and/or blow up.
The Magic Spectre didn’t come as handy for the train sequence, though. As Hargrave reveals, the filmmaking crew had to run along the train’s seven carriages to capture every second of its heart-pounding action. Fixing the Magic Spectre to a set point on one of the carriages, then, wouldn’t have given them the shots they needed during lengthy takes.“If I ran across the top of a carriage, I couldn’t climb down fast enough [to keep up with the scene],” Hargrave says.
