<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Remember that Mortensen and Bloom weren't really slicing those extras. That was the magic of modern cinema. Why couldn't they do that for Gimli too? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>When you watch the behind-the-scenes where Dom is talking about this, he mentions that John didn't like spending too much time on his fight scenes. He would just talk to the stunt men in his scene and say "Okay, you come at me first...yes, and then you, then you..." and so forth. [by the way, Dom's John Rhys-Davies impression is absolutely hilarious!] He really didn't bother with coreography. Then Dom talks about how John didn't even <I>try</I> to miss the stunt men. He just didn't take the time to do it I guess. <P>~~*Laialthriel*~~<p>[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Laialthriel ]
