Episode notes
Rewriting The Subway Hit For Ben
- Jack and Taylor rewrote the train/subway kill so Ben disables CCTV and performs a quick-draw to make the action plausible for the character.
- Taylor trained quick-draws with Shazi and nailed the sequence in two takes, then rode the Dolomites on break.
Tunnel Run Nearly Broke Kitsch's Foot
- The cobblestone tunnel run was brutal on Kitsch's injured foot; he had to ice it between takes and became a brat for 30 minutes.
- Filming required physical improvisation like smoke throws and coordinating a cam-quad pulling him on a four-wheeler.
How A Prop Case Changed The Action
- The heavy prop case altered Kitsch's movement and gunwork; carrying the cumbersome case changed his choreography and he joked about 'burying' it after filming.
- Small props like zippers and bag straps created technical on-set challenges during takes.
