JohnWick4 has one of the best action scenes EVER — here’s the full story of how it was made.
Initially on that fateful location scout in Paris, Stahelski and his team walked up Sacré-Cœur’s front steps. But then they began wandering around the site looking for potential spots to shoot. That’s when they made the discovery that sparked everything you see on screen.steps,” Stahelski continues, “and all I could think of was William Friedkin’s . That stair fall in that film. And I’m looking down — it was at nighttime — and I saw the fog, and I’m like ‘Oh no, dude.
“I’m sure every other director you talk to, they all say we shoot out of order. I’m incredibly anal about shooting order as much as I can,” he explains. “Obviously, there’s lighting, there’s environment, or it starts to rain, you have to bail, the actor’s unavailable. But as much as I can, I don’t try to abide by any schedule other than trying to make great shots happen. And if it makes people sit around for a little bit, or if. it makes the crew relight a little more ...
For Stahelski, fights, like any other idea, “should evolve ... I thought the [stairwell] fight was going to turn out one way, and then realized that I was wrong. We had a plan, but that plan lasted two days and went out the f—ing window when we saw how cool the stairs were. So yeah, you try to stay in order and you create as you go so you don’t backend yourself. I’m a big fan of that.
“You’re with some of the best stunt people in the world and you’re all standing looking at a staircase. What dothink is going through their heads?” he laughs. “They’re not thinking ‘What’s the easiest way down there?’ They’re thinking “F— me, we’re about to create a legend!”Part of what makes Stahelski such an outstanding director of stunts is that he’s been a performer of stunts himself.
