SHOT FOR SHOT: "Collateral" Alleyway Gunfight Breakdown

LAV mentioned it in the video, and I thought it worth repeating: Tom Cruise realized how important it was to get the gun play accurate in one of Michael Mann's films and while I’m generally speaking not a huge Cruise fan, Cruise actually trained with former special forces instructors, using live ammo, until he could execute the drill in real life before shooting the scene.

His time on film was actually faster than the director wanted him to do it.

It is all one take and it is actually Cruise in the scene, not a stunt double.

I have that DVD and in the special features it shows all the training cruise did. Im a huge cruise fan, dont care about his religion but he makes excellent movies. He has ballz of steel as well as he does a lot of his own stunts, like hanging outside that tall building in Ghost protocol.
 
amazing scene. his character was awesome, just a badass in a suit, no fancy stuff, no trying to keep people alive, just right to the point.
