Simply amazing!<br \/>\n<!--more-->!<\/p>\n<p>After watching the behind the scenes extras on the DVD, here is some additional info that filmmakers and martial arts film fans may appreciate:<br \/>\nThe director calls this &#8220;the most dangerous long take scene ever.&#8221; A 4 minute stedicam shot featuring a variety of martial arts.<br \/>\nThe crew spent over 1 month preparing and choreographing before they were able to get a perfect shot. When it came time to shoot, they could only do 2 takes per day because of the set repairing and prop replacement that needed to be done. It took 5 takes to get it right. A foreign cameraman was needed because the stedicam mount was built for american \/ european operators who are typically much larger than asian operators.<br \/>\nThe foreign operator they hired could only do two flights of stairs at a time and simply gave up. They decided to use a Thai stedicam operator who physically prepared for a month for this job.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/K06wDn3XsZE\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/K06wDn3XsZE\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p> The Protector (USA) &#8211; Ong Bak 2  (Tailanda) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0427954\/\" target=\"_blank\">link imdb<\/a> &#8211; starring: Tony Jaa &#8211; the next Jackie Chan.<br \/>\nSomething interesting: If you watch the whole scene you notice that Tony Jaa never opens a single door himself.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Ffulgerica.com%2Fen%2F2007%2F03%2F20%2Fthe-best-unedited-fight-scene-ever%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet This is the most impressive fight sequence I have ever seen that contains no edits.
