Director JJ Perry discusses The Killer's Game
The Big Picture Director J.J. Perry’s stunt filmography runs back decades. If you’ve seen an action film in the past 30 years, you may have seen Perry get his ass kicked by John Wick, or as Nathan Fillion’s double in Serenity. Most likely, you’ve seen Perry’s work by way of his stunt choreography and coordination from iconic franchises like Avatar and The Fast Films to critical favorites like Warrior and Argo.
J.J. Perry’s Action Film Masterclass Begins With Jackie Chan COLLIDER: I really want to start with congrats on the movie. It is a really, really fun movie. But I want to go on a sidebar if you will. You have worked on so many action set pieces and scenes.
I appreciate the answer. This is your second film. What did you learn making Day Shift that made you say, “Oh, I need to take this lesson with me to this?” Dave and Sofia are fantastic together. Their chemistry is the reason why you're invested in this film. When did you realize these two are really good?
PERRY: The second question was on Murder Mystery 2 on the Eiffel Tower. They let me film Jennifer Aniston’s double 1,000 feet up countering. They let me go on the Eiffel Tower — nobody's ever been up there before. It cost me a bottle of Macallan 30, to give it to the guy who runs that tower, to let us do that. He was like, “No!” And I saw that he had a battleship sewn into his jacket, and I was like, “I was in the army.” “I was in the Navy.” We started talking.
‘The Killer’s Game’ Hard ‘R’ Brings Audiences To The Edge Of Their Seats “I love it when it's over-the-top, where it's shock value.” I am a fan of ultraviolence. Obviously, I'm sick and twisted, but you have some shots where bones are going the wrong way and stuff like that. There are other scenes where that’s not as excessive.
