X-Men 3: Blog Transfer 9: Beast Fights

[flabbybuns]

Does he fight? Of course! I don't know any mutant character in this film that doesn't fight at all. I have no clue what brotherhoods are...can you clue me in?

I know the beast stunt double personally, so yes, he does fight quite a bit and I am one of the priviledged few to see it rehearsed on film. Let's see....in a nutshell, beast leaps out of a bunch of army men, swings around a pole sideways and knocks out guys, does a lot of flips when he attacks, does handstands and kicks one leg out sideways, quadrapeds (like a lion when it runs and its hind legs come in front of its front legs), and swipes at enemies kinda like a bear. His posture is kinda like a monkey with his arms out all the time and his back a little arched.

Kelsey Grammer is really the only actor that isn't doing his own stunts, although, I do have to admit I was proud when I heard he hung upside down last week from the wires. The beast double has been teaching me to do some of the tricks although I'm obviously nowhere near as good! It's still fun though learning the movement though.
