The movie ‘High Five’, which is maintaining its number one spot at the Korean box office for four weeks after its release, has released the third set of behind-the-scenes stills showing the process of creating thrilling action scenes.
Stills fully capture the hard work of the actors and production team to visualize the superpower action.First, Lee Jae-in had to run and run continuously to express one of Wanseo’s superpowers, which is speed.Based on the setting that Wanseo’s stride is 3 meters, Lee Jae-in’s movements were filmed at approximately 2,000x speed for each location, and then close collaboration with the VFX team allowed for the creation of the thrilling hill-sprinting scene and the thrilling cart-chasing scene.
Ahn Jae-hong, who plays ‘Ji-sung’, who has the ability to sweep away everything with typhoon-level strong winds, showed off his professional side with realistic acting by imagining objects or target points in each scene, and Lee Jae-in and Oh Jung-se, who appear as a taekwondo father and daughter, are said to have completed special chemistry by working together several times to show off 1+1 action scenes that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.Lee Jae-in surprised everyone by undergoing action training for a whopping 10 months to express his taekwondo-based superpowers and performing most of the scenes himself without a stunt double.
Meanwhile, the underground main hall of the Saesin Church is the climax of the showdown between the ‘High Five’ members and the villain ‘Youngchun’ in the latter half of the drama.The production team’s efforts to reveal ‘Youngchun’s ‘endless greed with an overwhelming scale and splendid visuals stand out, while Park Jinyoung, who plays’ Youngchun ‘, not only trained hard to show the character’s superhuman strength, but also personally performed high-difficulty movements including wire actions to complete the villain with a strong presence.
The movie ‘High Five’ is a comic action film that depicts the story of five people who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplants and meet those who covet their powers.It is currently showing in theaters nationwide to rave reviews.
