Director James Gunn Reveals Margot Robbie's Action Scene Was Shot In 72 Hours
Director James Gunn took to Twitter Tuesday to reveal some facts about "The Suicide Squad," which dropped on July 30. His revelations included an interesting bit of information about the action scene of Margot Robbie, who played Harley Quinn in the flick.
"We shot this entire Harley action scene from the first gunshot in three days (four days if you consider strangling guard with legs)," Gunn wrote on Twitter.
"No second unit. I call the overhead twirling shot 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg shot.' #TSSWatchParty," he added.
The action-adventure also featured stars like John Cena, Pete Davidson, Daniela Melchior, Sylvester Stallone, Jennifer Holland and Idris Elba.
Fans were quick to react to Gunn's post, with many of them sharing their experiences while watching the jaw-dropping scene and what they thought about it.
One of the fans wrote, "The expression on her face during her escape, the absolute focus in her eyes, is terrifying and perfect."
Another fan noted, "Looking at what Harley does in that scene three days would seem about the right amount of time it would take to shoot that given the stunt work."
One of the users also shared a fun fact and noted that it was Quentin Tarantino's favorite scene in the movie.
Meanwhile, a fan shared a screenshot of the said fight scene and wrote, "From the trailer the art direction of this film made me cry, when I saw this scene with the flowers and the birds I didn't even know what to think."
"The Suicide Squad" was added to HBO Max on Aug. 5, less than a week after its theatrical release. Almost a month later, its director threw a Watch Party with the hashtag #TSSWatchParty.
"Join me & the cast for the #TSSWatchParty tonight - watch #TheSuicideSquad on @hbomax as we tweet along. 6 pm PT, 9 pm ET," he tweeted on Monday.
Gunn is currently filming the television series "Peacemaker," which is slated for January 2022 release. He will also direct the Marvel superhero TV special "The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special" and the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," which is currently under pre-production.
Besides his directorial ventures, Gunn is also busy writing the screenplays for "Wile E. Coyote" and "Starsky & Hutch."
