Tropic Thunder (2008)

Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr.
1. This scene actually went really smoothly, I thought, when we shot it. You guys, again, near the end of the shoot, and you guys really had a good rhythm going with each other. Yeah, we only did like 60, 70, 90 takes of this. Fuck! Remember when you had him smack me all goddamn day, Ben? I remember like it was fucking yesterday.

Underworld Rise of the Lycans (2009)

Patrick Tatopoulos, Len Wiseman, James McQuaide, Richard Wright + 1
1. This was all a... A restructure edit as well. You know, you're going through it... ...I do believe you make your movie three times. And you get everything in and you put it together... ...as the script has laid out... ...and just sometimes, just pacing-wise... ...It doesn't work all together. This we flopped around quite a bit. Yeah. - And.... I think just to cut up... Remember we spent all the time in the forest. We never cut back to any of Viktor and all these things... ...and the conversation between Raze and Lucian... ...and then him gearing up. lt went straight from just him talking to Raze... ...and then the swords going in and it just felt awkward.
