Pa še malo zanimivosti o zgoraj nalepljeni "bullshit" sceni podvodnega pretepa, ki je (bil) res nekaj posebnega
The underwater barroom brawl in the 1984 comedy
Top Secret! wasfilmed in 10-15 second takes, with Val Kilmer and stuntman breathing from scuba divers off-camera between bursts. Kilmer, who learned to dive for the role, cited not laughing while running out of air as the hardest part.
Intense process behind filming the famous underwater bar fight scene included:
- The scene was shot in a studio tank rather than using CGI, aiming to make a typical barroom fight (breaking chairs/bottles) hilariously surreal by setting it underwater.
- Unlike modern films that often use CGI, this scene relied on practical, in-tank filming for the comedic showdown.
- While the scene is short, it required intense bursts of activity, making it a challenging sequence for the actors involved.ž
- Divers were positioned just out of frame to provide oxygen to the actors, allowing them to keep going after acting out the fight-filled scenes.
