“His knowledge for action & stunts, and how to tell a story within it, it’s impressive.” –Chris Hemsworth discussing director Sam Hargrave. Netflix’s new spectacular action movie Extraction 2 is now available to watch as of today. They’ve released a new behind-the-scenes featurette to build up the hype. The movie is a direct follow-up to the Netflix action film Extraction from 2020 – and it’s getting much better reviews than that one. Stuntman turned filmmaker Sam Hargrave returns to direct the sequel, alongside producers Joe & Anthony Russo. Chris Hemsworth co-stars along with Golshifteh Farahani, Daniel Bernhardt, and Tinatin Dalakishvili. Hargrave is an experienced stunt man / fight coordinator himself and knows how to pull off incredible sequences. There’s one long 20-minute take in this, along with a massive amount of other action to enjoy. The marketing for this movie kicked off with a making of video last year, but I’m glad to see Netflix release more footage of how crazy it was to shoot all these intense stunts. Fire it up below.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes stunts featurette for Sam Hargrave’s Extraction 2, from Netflix’s YouTube:
