The first part of the "Tyler Rake" series already proved that Sam Hargrave, who worked as a stunt coordinator for several Marvel films, is a real action and stunt expert. In 2020 he celebrated his directorial debut with "Extraction 1". The action flick struck a chord with Netflix audiences and was streamed countless times.

 

"Tyler Rake: Extraction 2": Sam Hargrave on the incredible performance of the actors and stunt experts

Now Sam Hargrave, who most recently worked in and on "Avengers: Endgame" and season 2 of "The Mandalorian," among others, has returned as a director. In addition to being responsible for the content and creative realization, the 53-year-old enriched the film with his expertise for daredevil action scenes.

How important and partly dangerous the work of the stuntmen and women was for the two "Tyler Rake: Extraction" films is almost needless to say. Already during the shooting of the first part, there was an accident on the set. For one scene, two stuntmen jumped from a balcony onto the street. As stunt coordinator Daniel Stevens revealed at the time, Chris Hemsworth's double Dan Carter was seriously injured, "twisting his ankle completely backwards" - and still performed the daring stunt two more times afterwards.

There was also a spectacular incident during the filming of "Extraction 2". You can listen to the incredible story here in the video:
