Hiroyuki Sanada, the Japanese actor, martial artist and sword master, has sliced and diced his way through ¡°Mortal Kombat,¡± ¡°Westworld¡± and ¡°Avengers: Endgame¡± and made it look easy.
In ¡°Bullet Train,¡± the David Leitch-directed action thriller about five assassins with tangled missions stuck on a high-speed Tokyo train, it actually was.
¡°We put my ideas, David¡¯s ideas, the choreographer¡¯s ideas, the stunt guy¡¯s ideas, and mixed them together on set,¡± says Sanada, with whom Leitch had worked as a stunt coordinator on ¡°The Wolverine.¡± ¡°We rehearsed two, three times and then shoot, shoot, shoot. Very smooth and fun. Especially since David already believed in my suggestions and skills.¡±
