A lot of people have asked me, “What is the most important thing about directing?” There is no one single answer to that question but above all have some sort of director there. A lot of people think you have to be on the set but you can be there in other ways. Being there in spirit is one of my favorites because it yields some of the most memorable scenes in film history BUT it can get you in hot water with producers. I would do what they did for this scene form Out For a Kill. Have a telephone direct it. I’m not talking about “phoning it in” I literally mean put a phone on set in a director’s chair that says “Telephone” on the back of it, so you don’t get in trouble with the Unions and have a member of the crew randomly scream “action” or “cut”. BAM! You got your scene.
Check out the wires you can’t see in this scene. I think the guy actually has the power of flight.

    Segal is the best, he humiliates the shit out of people when he kills them, like in Under Siege (I think) where he rips the dudes eyes out, stabs him through the TOP of the head with a huge knife, and then smashes his face through a computer monitor. the dude died 6 moves ago!
    more segal dudes, this is the stuff that dreams are made of.

    i didn’t see any wires. i mean, that guy is up in the air directly beneath a ceiling fan, which is clearly ON. also, when Pone Loc looks like he’s floating the shorter guy is all kicking under his feet and i def. didn’t see any wires down there either.
    how did they do it then?!?
