How Netflix's 'Extraction' Filmed A 12-Minute Fight Scene To Look Like One Take | Movies Insider
About halfway through Netflix's "Extraction," there is an action scene shot to look like one long, 12-minute take. To sell the illusion, Marvel stunt coordinator turned director Sam Hargrave strapped himself to the hood of a car to follow multiple car chases and then attached himself to a rope so he could capture a moment where two characters tumble off a balcony. Because there are no cuts, actor Chris Hemsworth had to do some of the most intense training of his career. Meanwhile, if you look closely, you might find the invisible cuts, or "stitches," that attach each shot of the sequence.

How Netflix's 'Extraction' Filmed A 12-Minute Fight Scene To Look Like One Take | Movies Insider
When the cameraman does more action than the actors.
Actually its both director and stuntmen. Look at Randeep Hooda's stunt double at 6:40. Also they did that 5 TIMES!!!
Kkkkkkkkj
And takes the risks
This is the filmmakers of the future.
funny thing he is actually a stuntmunt in mucu
So basically he is like the John Wick Director. Both stunt coordinators and stunt men. That’s pretty dope
Same goes for Mission impossible, but he's also an actor and director
Hehehe 1000th like

This scene was seriously impressive. Way to raise the bar for a Netflix action flick. This could've easily had a theater release and been successful. Hats off for sure.
oh yeah no question. its definitely *one of* my all-time fav action movies... if not my favourite
Me and my dad were bored just scrolling through Netflix looking to put something on for background noise so while we smoked and talked and I saw this and put it. There was no talking lol and this scene really took the whole film to a different level. It’s now one of my favorite action movies and I am so psyched for the second one I wish I could see it in theaters it deserves it
I’m a camera man by day and I had to see how this was done what a legend this was epic !!!!

I like this one-take method more than the usual fight scene with way too many cutscenes that I don't know whats going on
movies are confusing
Fingering Things ✔️ is tight.
I agree, I remember this scene exactly because of the shooting style. I remember my heart rate even being elevated because I really could feel their anxiety.
That depends ,
You saying you dont like Micheal Bays 50 cuts to toilets, explosions, crotch shots... etc
I'd hire this guy to direct any other future Bourne or James Bond movies. His style is the way to go instead of multiple cuts and edits of action/fight scenes.
I agree. He just needs a good script writer.
Cuts work if done right. Neo vs Morpheus, Neo vs Seraph, Luke vs. Vader in EpV, all fight scenes in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Captain America vs Winter Soldier's first fight, etc, etc. It's rapid cuts with shaky cam to pretend a lot is going on but doesn't really flow as a sequence that loses the audience.
Alright.. When you do, cast me as a supporting actor.
Ight, lemme know if you have an update of this in the future
Imagine him and Tom Cruise working together in Mission Impossible.
This Director: I risked my like doing this scene Oscar winning directors: We do VFX.. lol
Dude has "grave" in his name, and still be risking it like that
Lol
I was watching the movie and was like “that scene was SICK”
Then watch 1917 and and birdman both are one shot movies!!
@@abhishekchaudhary4419 don't forget about the revenant 😁👌
What is this movie’s name? I can’t find it...
Mylknei Beats Extraction.
Same. I was like yoooo this director is a BEAST
It's dope seeing Hargrave using his stunt skills to elevate his directing skills.
We need a good director and stunt, Do you think we... Sam Hargrave : Yes
hargrave was a stunt double before?
tuuskee he's one of the stunt double for MCU movies
yES ! - "not paris hilton"..... that's hilarious ! i like her though : )
Offtopic : no body gone talk how this seguence on 1:05 is similar to the captain america civil war build seguence . Lol
Extraction: “Imma make the craziest one shot scene” 1917: “Hold my beer”
Birdman: "That's my boy!"
Victoria (2015) - 'cat thumbs up.jpg'
Still man that car chase is unique the way the dude ACTUALLY went into the car window to shoot them nothing but respect. Not seen anything like this even in 1917. Such a fast paced fight scene
@@TheIndogamer 1917 is the best
Don’t forget one of the greatest one shot takes on daredevil season 3 where he was in the jail. That shit was awesome
one of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen.
Camera Crew : How much yellow you want in the scenes.. Director : *Yes*
I think its his own version of neo-noir. Same with thr distinct colors of john wick's fights
@Will Stewart Western directors see india/bangladesh so yellow 😂
Yeah it's a trend of post-production... Transformers movies has it also.
@Will Stewart I literally live in the same city this was shot in, it's ahmedabad not Bangladesh only a few parts of the old city are like how they have shown with dirt and grime, the weather is no where close to how they show it its kinda like a white/grey here than all out yellow tint they are tryna portray
It’s just color grading. High contrast yellow green and orange color grade
Every Director: I have an idea... Chris Hemsworth: I’ll do it
Director: i have an idea... Chris Stundman: i'll do it
@@stevecristian6932 Chris does a lot of the stunts himself
I wonder who’s idea it was to put that yellow filter. Its distracting
that seamless transition INTO and out of the car DURING the chase absolutely blew my mind, I havent felt like that watching a film in a long time where a technical filmmaking aspect is so visually new that it enhances the overall experience of the narrative yer watching, incredible!
This was the best cinematography I've ever seen. This man did something incredible..
Extraction-We did a 12 minutes scene that looks like it was taken in one shot. 1917-Hold my beer.
as well as a Strike Back episode which was shot by the same cameraman as 1917
He extend the clip abit to easily adjust
In 1917 the whole location was a setup created whereas in EXTRACTION real location was used
To be fair, the choreography for this 12 min is tougher. 1917 is still great tho.
Dumb comparison between a set and a real location
I like this trend of long uncut fight scenes!
Chinese Kung Fu cinema has been doing this for a long time.
oldschool1 just because it’s been around doesn’t mean films are doing it. so it is indeed a new trend right now.
The first time i ever watched one take in action movie and actually be amazed to that, is when i watched The Raid. So i dunno if it's actually set the trend of it or not?
1917?
Theres long cut in tony jaa movie the protector, so yeah i think it will be new trend in westren.
This guy is an incredible director, just finished the movie and it's definitely up there in my favorites now.
The action in this movie was top notch. I really didn't expect something so entertaining. I felt like watching John Wick.
Imagine him and Tom Cruise working together in Mission Impossible.
That would be epic.
in space too
EPIC!
John wick would be a better fit
@@pipolchamp8205 why not both
Okay so you're saying those guys fell five times on that truck.Holy cow
jesus christ the one take where the guy hit his head only on the truck
@@Jamdouglass yes...and thats dangerous
Err i just wondering if chris did said "please dont die..." 5 times since its a 5 takes shots?
So, they should pay more the stuntmen 🤔
@@jonnlloyde Stuntmen make PLENTY of money.
Bollywood needs to learn "How to use our location wisely" instead of adding a item dance with lust do some different things like this!
True. Bollywood really sucks. They always go for fake stuffs like item dance, and adds unnecessary lust scenes. Even lust scenes.
Dance is there culture. Can't complain about that. But they tend to overuse CGI in a bad way

Now I understand why I've always been impressed by the camera angles in this movie. I've always wondered how it was achieved. Now I know. Kudos to the director and the crew.
Thumbs up for the camera man who shoot the shooting camera man.
Never watched 1917?
The warrior we are not talking about
@@AminGuides 1917 was all recorded on mostly open land
I wonder if there is camera man shooting the cameraman who is shooting the actual camera man
a refreshing break from fight scenes with too many cut scenes so common nowadays
Try John Wick man, you'll love it, the last part was great!
The amount of work that goes into making good movies is unbelievable.
Looks so cool man =D
I see a lot of comments oh "i love the uncut fight scenes!" But i don't think people understand the sheer genius of his directing methods and techniques. I didnt want that scene to end not because of thr action but BECAUSE of his flawless transitions. HE made the camera FEEL like a character almost. Like it was part of the world. One of the best works ive seen
exactly
Dude it's just a gimmick. It doesnt really serves the story that much. If anything it takes you out of the immersion. All I could think about when I saw this is ohh there was a transition and ohh there was one again. Where in Children of Men, it's much more subtle and not just for the sake of LETS DO IT IN ONE TAKE BECAUSE ITS COOL.
Botond Csizmadia it is cool, and that’s very important. Cinematography is important, and this is very clearly a sort of flexing of the cinematic muscles for this director, and I think it paid off. It looks incredible, and whether it means anything to the story or not is not the only important thing. Movies are visual, and making something difficult has its own value. Like shredding in guitar. Can it be overused? Absolutely. Can it be a crutch for having no substance? Absolutely. But it’s still impressive and, used properly, adds a ton to the overall work.
Yes, at times it made it feel like you're there. Running along side the characters, then there is the switch that makes it feel like a third person shooter
ngl i watched this movie but didn’t notice the whole “one shot thing”
This was probably the most engaging action scene ever. Can’t wait to see more in this style.
Wow, now that I know how they did it I appreciate even more the film which was literally amazing.
If there's a sequel to extraction "How sam hargrave strapped himself to the front of an airplane"
The film technique was really well done. By the end of the scene, their exhaustion was so realistic it brought everything together.
The exhaustion was realistic but everything else, so fake! The guy didn't even shoot in a tropical sepia climate! Shooting in a normal coloured location and applying sepia filter to make it look like it was shot in sepia climate, bunch of stupid wannabes.
You have to really admire the dedication it takes to make little scenes like this. Absolutely amazing!
They killed half of Bangladesh's army in the movie. Who's going to compensate for that?
But why Western countries always shows india and Bangladesh as dirty ,dusty 😑😑

The others have so much of stereotyping in them. I love movies and I love even Hollywood, but I feel really bad when they show India like that in their movies.
Chris Hemsworth being Australian just made it 10x better
The best 12 mins of my life was watching that one shot scene! Such greatness from Hargrave and his crew! I would love to see more scenes like that!
This what we get when Stuntman coordinator become the director of his own action film
A director doing his own stunt and being in the heat of things. Now that is something.
Simply Amazing. The forethought, the planning, the commitment and the split second execution .. simply amazing..
The guy falling with hemsworths character looks like he actually bounced off the yellow trucks cab roof....im sure that hurt a little
Yeah I'm surprised he didn't get a stunt double, he's a pretty well known Indian actor. Wasn't expecting him to take that fall, literally.
They did it 5 times!!!
@@shreymalik9002 both had doubles
I thing they had some protections because their faces are not visible to the camera.

When Sam Hargrave strapped himself at car and using handheld camera to make it like continuous shot. It really reminded me to car chase scene in The Raid 2: Berandal. Gareth Evans used almost the same technique where he was holding camera at pick up car and hand it over to the crew inside car, and the crew inside that car hand the camera over again to the crew that attached outside the car. I knew some people will say that the technique that'd been used by Gareth Evans in The Raid 2 was pretty common and much shorter than the scene in this movie. But, at 2014, that technique really blew my mind. Not to mention they were shooting it at limited budget and time, so they have to finish that sequence in much shorter period of time and they still managed to capture it beautifully.
Sam Hargrave can only wish to be like Gareth Evans. Gareth Evans is the master. I think you should watch Gangs of London a show created by Gareth and his DP. Its great.
Gareth is on of the best action director, he can capture the kinetic action beautifully. yes, i also wish another collaboration between Gareth & the Raid teams.
Extraction and John Wick have pay homage to the Raid cause the raid is the blueprint for all modern day action films
@@RyanSmith-qr7jg gangs of ,London scenes were amazing
Pure camera genius. The audience feeling is all together different than the scenes with flashing editing cuts.
I find this one of the best if not the best action movie of all times. So intense, so well written and so damn good filmed. Also the locations are outstanding!
Extraction: We did a 12 minutes scene uncut. Johnny Sin: Hold my stethoscope, my plumber tools, etc.
lmao
I kind of died laughing 😂
Love this style. Definitely sets the proper tension and engagement towards the scene. Awesome job! 👍👏
Truly speaking, watching the movie and that scene made me think how would have this been shot. Thank you
Extraction was exciting, full of action and I loved watching it. Hats off to all the hardwork they put in it.
One of the most immersive action sequence i have ever watched.almost made me feel like its happening for real.Great camera work by Sam.
He's a BEAST! THAT'S TRUE LOVE FOR FILMING
Saw this movie last night and this sequence really got my attention when I noticed that it look like a one take shot. I'm.amazed of the craftmanship of the people working behind it! It is a very well done guys!
This is one of the best action movies ever made. Netflix made a great choice getting this guy.
It's really surprised first time watching this film, when chris and Indian guy fought knife to knife battle in the street, then suddenly motorcycle guy passes in the middle of their fight lol 😆😆 so epic
its not realistic at all. people will be scared.
Meh, if i saw a couple of people fighting and i was on a vehicle with a load, I'd defo speed into em 😃
Aye respect. That Indian dude was crazy professional with his act, name's Randeep Hooda not indian guy, found out his name after I watched the whole movie,I didn't know indian had actor like him. Damn crazy.

This was what stood out the most about this film. The scenes were so fluid.... All action films should adopt this.

I remember watching this scene with a friend. We looked at each other, paused the movie, and said "how the hell are they filming this?!" So glad this video is finally answering our question!
I watched this movie yesterday, and had to rewind it a couple of times to try and figure out some of these continual shots! Great camerawork!
The best scene ever!!!! So much effort and it's worth it at the end
one of the best action movies i had ever seen....who agree?
The Raid movies have entered the chat.
you probably didn't watch many action movies this movie is shit

You can just see how much passion is put into the shootings!
True
now we know how much work was behind the awesome car chase and fight scenes! Thank you!
The movie made an immersive experience where I wasn't noticing how the camera was moving and was fully into the movie ,such was the pacing . When we doesn't notice such things that means that it is good film making. Really good work. Kudos to the team . Great effort 🤩
A true inspiration! ... I'm directing, writing, filming and producing a film myself. A 3 Episodic adventure actually, it's currently being filmed. In order to achieve my true vision, I always prefer to be behind the camera in any way possible! Believe it or not, I did the exact same maneuver! I lied down on the front hood/bonnet of the SUV that my brother was driving to get a great shot! We weren't driving that fast though. I can't wait to release it online. The Trailer will be uploaded on my channel by the end of this week!
While this scene started to feel a little gimmicky after 6 minutes or so , the effort that went into it is absolutely commendable! I hope more action directors take notice!
All the work to put into a film. Respect for the actors out there
INSANE!! PURE SKILL!
This is the best action movie I've seen in at least 20 years it was like watching The matrix for the first time or bad boys 2, I'm shocked I even discovered it because I think I've watched five things in my entire life on Netflix and thought I'd give this a shot and the first 10 seconds had me hooked and then I couldn't believe how good the rest of it was I'm probably going to watch it again
This movie was amazing 👌❤️.
beautifully shot fight scene. some of the best I have seen,
ppl dont get how GOOD of a Movie Extraction is, like BRO SHESHHHHHHH its Fire

You guys should look into the car chase scene in "The Raid Berandal" they had a cameraman dressed up as a car seat so that the camera could be passed from outside the car to the inside for a seamless transition. Some real ingenuity was used during that entire chase scene.
The camera guy was essentially an uncredited stunt man. This scene is grossly underrated
