31 YEAR OLD DIRECTOR IN SEOUL RENTED A $22,000 ROBOT TO SAVE ON STUNTMEN… AT REHEARSAL HE FORGOT TO TELL THE ROBOT IT WAS FAKE
The scene was simple. Three guys with sticks attack, the hero falls nicely, everyone goes to lunch
The robot got the script, but the word "staged" wasn't in it once
The first one swung and was on the mat a second later
The second thought it was a glitch and flew to the floor
The third saw the robot raise a finger for "one sec", then took a kick to the chest
9 seconds. Three stuntmen down. The choreographer yells "that wasn't in the plan"
Now the director is paying three people sick leave, and the robot stands in the corner like it just nailed the best take of its life
Would you be the fourth guy in this scene ?
