FILM 1367: SPY
TRIVIA: Star Melissa McCarthy has said
that the film is the most physically taxing she has ever done. McCarthy has
said of the mis-haps and accidents that befell her during the making of the
movie: "Running, jumping, falling. I've cracked my head, I have cuts and
bruises. At the end of the day I look like I fell down an elevator shaft. But I
wear those wounds and thrown discs with a bit of pride". Stunt
Co-ordinator J.J. Perry
has also said: "We have a great stunt double (Luci Romberg) for Melissa,
but once we saw how good Melissa was we were able to ask even more of
her." Perry has also praised McCarthy's s impressive ability to learn and
retain choreography, saying, "She was in there with some heavy-hitting
action stars, which can be intimidating, but she more than held her own. Her
work ethic is outstanding".
Screenwriter Paul Feig, who once was an
aspiring stuntman himself, is a fan of Jason Statham's action
movies. Feig tailored Statham's Rick Ford character in the film especially for
the actor to play.
According to Paul Feig, Rayna was
originally a 19-year-old, and the character had to be rewritten once Rose Bryne
was cast in the role.
Bobby Cannavale got involved in the
film because his girlfriend, Rose Bryne, joined the cast as Rayna.
Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) used two
wrestling moves in this movie. They were Hurricanrana and German Suplex.
