:49:00
Good stunt coming up here, I think.
:49:02
We cut from the actors to the stuntmen,
:49:04
and we have a wire-cam actually in that sequence
:49:08
where the camera moves with the actors
through the jungle.
:49:13
Stuntmen obviously fall into this pool
and the actors pop up.
:49:24
Classic act two chase sequence,
:49:26
I think with a twist.
:49:28
Now here is a bit of kit
that was invented for the film.
:49:34
This is a hoversled.
:49:37
We hoped it wouldn't look too much like Star Wars
and yet would remind people of other films
:49:43
that use these same kind of toys.
:49:48
This is a funny sequence.
This wasps' nest was practical
:49:55
and we tried to time it
so it would drop into Deobia's hand,
:49:59
as you're about to see,
:50:02
and it was filled with plaster.
:50:08
So it gave it a sense of explosion as it collapsed.
:50:12
And all of the CG wasps,
which are wonderfully oversized,
:50:16
were created by the same team
that did the scorpion earlier on.
:50:21
This set is actually in the backlot at Pinewood,
:50:25
dressed with greens, ferns, et cetera.
:50:29
And the area that looks like a garage
that he's working in
:50:35
is a rebuilt section of the really big refrigerator,
:50:38
which you'll see in the next reel.
:50:43
So it wasn't the monstrous budget
of some action-adventure pictures
:50:47
so we had to reuse bits of set.
Again, John Beard, very clever.
:50:54
Arguably the best acting moment in the film
for these kids.
