Movie and TV productions have countless tricks to make false violence look real, but they do not always work smoothly. Alan Ritson, a hitsters of Hit -Prime Minister Video series "Reacher", taught this in the hard way to shoot a combat scene in Season 1. As explained in A. Interview in January 2024He was seriously injured during the production of the episode "Reacher said nothing" when the wicked Hencman smashed a vase on the head of his character.

"That struggle was going on So much From me! "Richson said. Rock I with that thing, man. Looked really cool. It's shaking and I'm like ... I feel it. I'm amazed. We finish the sequence and take off my beans and has blood everywhere"In fact, you can see the moment when Richson is injured in the real episode, though his blood is fortunately left under the hood for the whole scene:

The reason Richson was so surprised that the vase would hurt him because it was a vase sugar; That means instead of real glass, it was made of a mixture of sugar, corn syrup and water. It is much less sharp than the real glass, but there are countless stories of actors and couples with a trick falsely believing that it cannot harm them.

"I told the guys on the trick and it was like," Hey, it was a vase sugar? "" Richson recalls. "And they go," Oh, yes, the vase sugar doesn't help at all. ""

Long before Richson was injured by Sugar Glass, "Alien" Starvers Safe Water was Once it stays "covered in blood" After filming a scene for the movie "Aliens" in 1986. Waver explained in a TV show, during the stage where her character Ripley saved the young Tut from someone else's nest, Waver had to pamper her hands through a bunch of sugar glass, or "candy glass" as they called it.

"(Director) Jimim (Cameron) says:" You're running, breaking this, it's all glass of candy, it's not real glass, it's good, it's safe, "Waver recalls. Cameron pampered his hands through the glass to prove his point, and his hands appeared unwavering. When Waver did the same for the scene, however ...

"I run, like that," Waver said, imitating the scene, "grabbed the girl. I run out. I look down and I'm covered with blood. Because, you know, I guess I'm not as noisy as (Cameron). "The moral of her story, as her interviewer Johnon Mulani, said, is that Jamesesheims Cameron" has no blood. "Or maybe he just has unusually heavy skin on his hands.

Despite all the stories of sugar/candy glass that cut through the skin of the actors and trick couples, it is still a common film film because it is safer than the real glass and looks convincing. Part of what makes Reacher's combat scenes so attractive is that they are made as practical as possible. The cast and crew understand that Ritson has hit a real vase (though, sugar glass) will hit much harder with the audience than trying to do so with CGI. Production of every good action film involves an act of balancing between keeping the actors safe while maintaining things to feel real, but Richson is Even more prepared To keep realistically of most. His many, many other stories of injuries Reacher explained that.
