Here we go. We're going into this fight sequence
:54:09
that was choreographed by Paul Jennings,
:54:13
with the help of Paul Corbould,
who was the special effects...
:54:18
practical special effects team.
:54:20
Lady Penelope, Sophia Myles,
has two stunt doubles,
:54:24
in addition to the work she does herself.
:54:26
She has a martial arts stunt double
:54:29
and she has a gymnastics stunt double.
:54:33
Parker, Mullion and Transom
are also doubled as well.
:54:39
And the idea, in addition to having a fight
between the good guys and the bad guys,
:54:46
was to have a good sense of fun
:54:48
and show off these wonderful character traits.
:54:51
Lady Penelope's incredibly fluid and lithe.
:54:58
And then added to that
these little snippets of dialogue.
:55:05
And here's the classic from the cartoon.
:55:10
Shameless use of sound.
:55:15
And a great credit again to Martin Walsh
who cut this all together,
:55:19
to keep this thing going.
:55:27
That line used to be, "Of course he had his palace,
why not his concubine?"
:55:31
The studio thought kids wouldn't understand
what a concubine was, so we recut it,
:55:37
so that The Hood calls her a princess,
:55:39
which is somehow appropriate for Lady Penelope.
:55:46
Great sequence. Weeks and weeks of rehearsal
:55:49
with Paul and the doubles and the actors
while we were shooting other scenes.
:55:54
We were shooting the stuff
on Thunderbird 5 on one stage
:55:58
while Paul and the actors were rehearsing this
