Jennings adds, вЂњThatвЂ™s how you make a car chase great, by having great drivers driving really fast.вЂќ вЂњEvery crash, every single thing you see in that chase sequence is Tom.вЂќ This allowed the camera to be right in the car with Cruise as he made his various turns and screeches and contributed to the overall impact of the scene. вЂњTom happens to be one of the best stunt drivers IвЂ™ve ever met,вЂќ said Second Unit Director Paul Jennings. Tom Cruise did all of his own stunt driving in the film, something which came in very handy for shooting the action.

This was planned out to the letter to exemplify ReacherвЂ™s personality: at once precise and reckless.

In the above clip, you can see that it doesnвЂ™t handle particularly well and that he tends to be crashing through a lot. The car in question is a V8-powered Chevy Chevelle, which positively roars with its 500 horse power. We need to have clear, distinct dialogue physically.вЂќДЄnother huge aspect of Jack ReacherвЂ™s character is what he drives and the way he drives it. вЂњWhat heвЂ™s doing is physical dialogue,вЂќ Alonzo said, вЂњSo, if heвЂ™s moving before the stunt performer is moving, heвЂ™s literally stepping on their lines. This was the very approach he took when choreographing Jack ReacherвЂ™s fights. The number one thing we learned was to always react to what the other performers were doing, and not simply anticipate the next move. We members of the press at the event were treated to the chance to learn a small piece of the above fight sequence from Rob and his stunt team, which we then got to implement. We focused on the basic movements of Keysi while maintaining the mindset of looking through your guards constantly so youвЂ™re able to fight off multiple opponents and allow them to come in much, much closer than normal.вЂќ In the purest form of Keysi fighting method, itвЂ™s very difficult to view the character because youвЂ™re constantly in a covered position. вЂњI made it theatrically applicable to this character. While thatвЂ™s very practical for daily life, itвЂ™s not very conducive to film.

вЂњI trained Tom how to fight in that particular style, not showing him any choreography at all until we got closer to the shooting of those fight sequences because I wanted to build the natural movement in him.вЂќДЇor the purposes of the movie, Alonzo changed the normal practice of Keysi, which involves being covered up for maximum protection.

вЂњIn a lot of movie fighting, people tend to focus primarily on the choreography of the movement instead of the real believability of the movement within the character,вЂќ he said. ItвЂ™s a very reactive style of fighting, which Jack ReacherвЂs assistant stunt coordinator and fight choreographer, Robert Alonzo, a veteran of over 120 films, says was imperative for the lead character. (This style was also employed by Bruce Wayne in Christopher NolanвЂ™s Batman Begins.) It allows the fighter to get very close to his or her opponent and block and deflect while striking with elbows, knees, and hammer fists. ThatвЂ™s not simply because itвЂ™s scripted thatвЂ™s due to Tom Cruise being taught a modified version of the Keysi fighting method, a type of street fighting which first attempts to protect the head before before attacking anyone.

The above clip shows Jack Reacher taking on five (really three, he says) drunken brawlers and dispatching them rather quickly. Both of these elements were carefully chosen to personify his temperament and mindset, which we got to experience first-hand. Anyone who saw the film knows that the character of Jack Reacher had a fighting style unlike what has been seen in modern films, and he drove a really sweet old Chevy Chevelle a bit like a maniac.
