Timothy Eulich oversaw the onscreen brawl between Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis.
They run down, and Jamie jumps over the railing, and does the flying knee down the stairs.
“It was a one-shot music video,” he says.
I was that performer who fell down that escalator for a 13-hour night shoot.
That was definitely one of the more painful jobs I have ever done as a stunt performer.
We just hit it off and have been working together ever since."
Turned out, they neededa lot.
“There was a lot of them turning to me and asking, ‘Can we do this?'”
says the stunt coordinator with a laugh.
“We did everything inside of one practical building.
We figured out a way to do everything.
So I’m pretty pleased with that accomplishment.”
“I learned a lot.
She is the master, I am the student.
“She was absolutely gung-ho about doing a lot of the big stunts,” says Eulich.
“We had her in early rehearsals and were hanging her up from wires, flying down that staircase.
Eulich was similarly pleased when he saw the sequence in the completed film.
“I needed to watch it a couple of times,” he says.
I was just remembering all of these experiences that we had while we were filming it.
