All language subtitles for Super.Action.E03.221211.720p-NEXT

(All scenes in this show contain stunts...)

(performed by professionals with extensive training.)

(All scenes were performed with the consent of stunt actors.)

(All participants wore safety gear and used safety props.)

(Medical staffs were present in case of emergencies.)

(noonaspoiler.site)

(Please do not try any of these stunts at home.)

(The 1st mission begins.)

("All of Us Are Dead" FREEDOM VS. ORTHODOX)

(ORTHODOX displayed...)

(extreme stunts.)

(Out!)

Cut!

(The results bring a rush of relief and appreciation.)

(We can continue filming like this.)

(They get high marks for technique.)

You become a zombie then.

(With acting skills becoming of the combined actor team...)

(FREEDOM displayed bold stunts...)

(without any regard to their bodies.)

(From an acting standpoint, their characters seemed more alive.)

(Their organization was perfect too.)

(A preview of the finals)

(BEST vs. BORN STUNT)

(Crashing)

(BORN STUNT began their live mission, but...)

(the glass door shattered on its own.)

The glass broke first.

(BORN STUNT is in a risky situation from the start.)

Oh, no.

(Will they be able to complete the live mission?)

(Super Action)

(BORN STUNT is in crisis from the beginning.)

(In pieces)

Cut!

They should've surprised us with that,

but now they've been exposed.

What a pity.

(What a pity.)

They needed to come out with the right timing,

when the special effects team shattered the glass.

(The glass shattered before they hit it.)

(Coordination is important for action scenes.)

Cut!

These kinds of mistakes happen very often on set.

(What is captain Kang Young Muk doing?)

- Can I explain? - Yes, please explain.

We shattered the glass to enter, but the actor was injured.

(There was...)

(an injury?)

(During BORN STUNT's shoot for their action film)

Once you call "action," I'll jump through on the count of three.

All right!

- Action! - And 1, 2!

(Action! Crashing)

- Action! - And 1, 2!

(They successfully shot the glass door shattering scene.)

Cut!

- Be careful. - Is anyone hurt?

- We shouldn't let him use it. - No, let him.

- Does it hurt a lot? - No, it doesn't.

(Young Min was injured by a shard of glass.)

That's why, for our live mission,

we only included the glass breaking and the sound effects.

(Only the glass shattering and sound effects were shown.)

That's what's going on right now.

So we can see the scene in the action film.

Ready, action!

(He sends his body flying to start off the action.)

Who is it?

(In judging mode)

(In audience mode)

Who are you?

Me? Just a second.

(Rummaging)

Me? Just a second.

Is that taffy?

He's telling them to eat it?

It's taffy. It's for you.

(Falling for Agent Kang Young Muk's provocations,)

(the gang finally starts fighting.)

What are you doing? Get rid of him.

Yes, sir!

(Bring it on.)

See this?

(The agent and gangster are in a touch and go situation.)

You want to die?

(Filmed with safety tools)

(Thud)

(High-level action from the get-go)

(Belt Kick: with a bent upper body, the kicker leaps sideways...)

(while kicking both feet up. Properly called butterfly twist.)

Get him!

(Showing off...)

(their force)

(Watching closely)

It's all right!

(Powerful action moves)

(Shattering the lights in "Confidential Assignment")

(Remade BORN STUNT-style)

(Catching their breath)

(Hearts thudding)

Wait!

(The action scene makes everyone hold their breath for real.)

(Totally absorbed)

I think it's better to give pauses like this,

than to keep going in full force.

(As befitting the veterans)

They've coordinated all of this,

- including the pauses. - To get back their energy.

Wait.

(Taking a short break)

Let me have some water.

A water bottle? Water bottle action.

(The famous tissue action scene in "Confidential Assignment")

(If Hyun Bin has these tissues...)

(BORN STUNT has this water bottle.)

(The agent uses a water bottle...)

(to clean up the rest of the gang.)

It's over!

He got us.

(The gang was completely beaten with a single water bottle.)

Get him.

It's amazing that they memorized all of this.

They showed what it means to have a hand-to-hand combat take.

(A long action scene that leaves you breathless)

(BORN STUNT did it in one go.)

(While the gangsters are having a hard time...)

(the man in the blue suit rushes to collect his money.)

I think he might get hurt or die.

He's running away.

(He captures their attention.)

(Will he successfully escape?)

(He fails.)

Oh, shoot.

(Agent Cho Hye Kyung catches the fleeing boss...)

(as their cooperative strategy starts to wrap up.)

Look at you cowering.

(Attacking a man's core)

(Oh, my.)

Those tools are made of sugar.

If you don't use them properly, they break before you can use them.

Oh, really?

That's so interesting.

Go easy.

Gosh.

Let's go now.

(They leave the office.)

(Cut!)

Cut!

(BORN STUNT's live mission is over.)

It was short and powerful.

So powerful.

Did anyone get hurt?

- No. - What a relief.

This seemed to focus on hand-to-hand combat.

What did you think of this, watching it as a live mission?

Maybe it's because I've heard how skilled you are,

but I could tell how much strength you had in your actions.

You were also very coordinated.

I can tell that you've trained extensively for a long time.

The one thing I felt was lacking...

is that because it's "Confidential Assignment,"

I wanted to see the two of you working together more,

in terms of technique or otherwise.

But I felt it was a little too one-sided.

It was focused too much on just Kang Young Muk.

(Embarrassed)

About their film we'll watch soon,

they originally had five hours, but had some time stolen.

(Their time...)

(was stolen?)

So they only had a total of two hours to film.

The Super Advantage.

ORTHODOX will be allowed to steal...

three hours of time.

- Wow. - They will steal that time...

from BORN STUNT.

(In silence)

They only had two hours to film.

Did that affect you at all?

I can't say it didn't,

but we set up a good strategy... to use our two hours well.

We coordinated well within the team...

to complete the mission.

(Expectant)

- BORN STUNT. - Ready.

Regardless, we have two hours,

so let's just pull off what we prepared.

- All right. - All right.

- BORN STUNT! - Let's go!

Action!

(BORN STUNT's real action)

(It can't get more real than this.)

(They were only allotted two hours.)

Let's do this quickly.

(However...)

(they make a lot of mistakes.)

What is it? Who is it?

Everyone, please come out. Let's take it from the top.

- What time is it? - It's 9:18 right now.

Everyone, come out!

In 1, 2, 3!

You can't come down from there.

We're running out of time.

Quickly, move outside.

(How did BORN STUNT's action film turn out?)

Now it's time to view the action film.

Now it's time to view the action film.

(Nervous)

(BORN STUNT "Confidential Assignment")

I confirmed it. There's seven people.

They said they'd check to see if they're arrested in two hours.

It's enough time, right?

- Yes. - I'll go up after I signal.

- Hey. - What?

Is your boss inside?

You think the boss is your buddy or something?

I'm sorry.

What's going on here?

- Who are you? - Me?

Just a minute.

It's taffy.

It's for you.

What are you doing? Get rid of him.

Action!

Are you crazy?

Bring it.

Why, you...

Take this.

- Wow! - Wow!

(Even seeing it again, the action is so powerful.)

Take that.

Gosh.

Darn.

What are you doing?

Let me just have some water.

Are you drinking it alone?

Are you?

Take that.

There.

Stop.

Take that!

Oh, no.

Look at you cowering.

Go easy.

Gosh.

The police are here.

- It's over, right? - It's not over yet.

There's more?

(A hidden scene that wasn't in the live mission version)

Let's go up.

(After cleaning up the gang, can they flee before police arrive?)

Take this!

Wow!

A wire!

(An unexpected wire action scene)

(Everyone's moved.)

That's amazing.

What a great idea.

(BORN STUNT's action film ends.)

Did you really film all this in two hours?

Yes, we completed it within two hours.

- You're sure? - Yes.

I can't believe that.

It's that a quantity of film you can shoot in two hours.

We set up a very precise schedule.

In terms of time management,

since we're all quite experienced in action,

I thought it was fine to run the camera...

on action scenes for a longer time.

The best we could do...

was to do everything in one take.

That's the direction we decided on.

We decided to place as many cameras as possible,

so we could have several angles to use in editing.

- In just two hours. - That's unbelievable.

That had a different feel from their live version.

I wonder how you'll judge this?

In terms of the action,

there were several long takes.

(That's right.)

The camera work was expert.

The action sequences captured...

by the long takes were very good.

I think that worked to your advantage.

(Staying calm)

For me, when you used a prop in the middle,

creating a pause in the middle of the action,

and then using the water bottle to come to the climax,

that part was really good.

The energy of the wire action,

where you were falling, then hooked the roof,

and ascended again, was great.

(From an actor's perspective, using the hook gun was creative.)

The way you expressed that was very entertaining too.

(Smiling broadly)

Shooting the gun up was great.

(The wire shot was great.)

There's an energy you feel seeing these scenes live.

I felt that energy watching you live.

I felt that energy watching you live.

But I felt that when you turned midair, it was for no reason.

You should've been threatened with a knife for that to come out.

Technique is important,

but I think it's important to think about...

why that technique should be used at certain times.

I think that's an important area.

From that respect, I think you were a little lacking.

(The judgment was mixed with negative and positive reviews.)

BORN STUNT showed us strong action. Please go to your dressing room.

- Thank you. - Thank you for your hard work.

(BORN STUNT, 1st mission over)

(Taking the area that BORN STUNT swept through earlier...)

(and transforming it anew)

(Next up is BEST.)

(The stunt team behind "Squid Game" wins an Emmy Award.)

It hasn't been long since we received our award,

so we're getting a lot of attention.

(Here on Super Action)

Next up, please come in.

- All right. - It's our turn now.

- BEST! - Let's go!

Let's go!

Here we go!

(Will this be a world-class "Confidential Assignment?")

Another potential finalist.

We need to watch closely. They're a strong candidate to win.

Let's go.

(Let's go, BEST.)

BEST won much praise for their work in "Squid Game."

(What kind of action will BEST show them?)

When we surveyed our teams earlier,

BEST was chosen as most likely to come in second place.

The ones voted to win just showed their "Confidential Assignment."

Did you watch it? What did you think, honestly?

It was a different style, since we used the opposite structure.

- An opposite structure? - Yes, it was the opposite.

Is it more innovative?

Rather than more innovative,

we tried our best to be as faithful as possible...

to the essence of the original work.

Are you saying the earlier team did not do this?

(Did BORN STUNT not do this?)

(Flustered by an interview putting much pressure on him)

That's a hard question.

(Cracking up at their speechless captain)

Gosh.

(Even BORN STUNT lets go of their anxiety for a moment.)

If you were to choose a moment for us to focus on in your film?

There's a limit to what actions...

actors can take in this film,

so since we're using stuntmen,

and want to show off our skills without restriction,

we pushed the level of the basic fighting to be higher.

We set it up so that each and every person...

has the fighting skill of Hyun Bin.

We also decided that Sang Chul, who weighs 100kg,

would play Hyun Bin's role.

He'll play Hyun Bin's role.

With Hyun Bin's skill...

and Ma Dong Seok's power,

I think he might be someone you want to focus on watching.

It was one short film.

(Captain Lee Tae Young of BEST makes people look forward.)

Tae Young.

He's a man of passion.

He's extremely witty.

We plan the action in advance,

but it often changes on set.

He changes the plan quickly according to it.

It's not just action.

He plans action...

based on the actor's emotion.

That's what I liked about him.

I became a stunt man...

after watching "Bridal Mask."

And he was Joo Won's double.

(Lee Tae Young worked with top actors for a long time.)

(Song Seung Heon, Lee Tae Young)

(Lee Tae Young, Go Soo)

(He has a world-famous reputation.)

Just be prepared...

- and punch him. - Okay.

Right, left.

Okay. That's good.

Jun Seok. Hold this.

Pretend you're checking out the item on the floor.

Pretend you're organizing.

Let's decide what we're going to break.

What's good for throwing?

If we trust Captain Lee Tae Young...

And pull of the action,

we'd beat BORN STUNT.

Tell us what we should focus on.

First of all,

when I planned the same scene,

it's the same flow,

but I tried a different direction for action film and live.

Action film and live action are different?

(Grinning)

A scene needs more than people.

There are music, CGI and special effect.

I tried to display that.

(Display it?)

You need to see it live.

(Before the live action)

(He rips the couch cover...)

(and installs something.)

(He puts the cover back on.)

(It's good as new.)

(So he created...)

We hid devices for the live action.

(Watching carefully)

They prepared the live action really well.

They're going to blow it up.

They planted a lot of impacts.

That'll create a good effect.

(For the shooting scene)

(They installed the impacts for the live action.)

(They prepared the live action thoroughly.)

Let's watch BEST's "Confidential Assignment."

Super Action.

Get ready.

(Entering the set)

(Putting on holsters for shooting)

(Last check)

Jun Seok looks cool.

He looks like Lee Jong Suk.

Who?

That man.

- Jun Seok? - Yes.

- He looks like who? - Lee Jong Suk.

- Lee Jong Suk? - Yes.

You haven't seen Lee Jong Suk, have you?

- Lee Jong Suk. - Yes.

He looks like Lee Jong Suk.

No.

- Stop it. - He does.

No.

Action.

Ready.

Action.

(Drug cartel's office)

(Drug dealer 1)

(Drug dealer 2)

(Drug dealer 3)

(Drug dealers are working in their office.)

- It's a live action. - They're so engaged.

(Laid back, peaceful)

(Where's the hero?)

It's peaceful right now.

Nice to meet you, powder friends.

(Safe props were used.)

(BEST reinterpreted the shooting in "Confidential Assignment.")

Nice to meet you, powder friends.

(What kind of shooting scene will they put on?)

(Startled by impacts)

(Blowing up impacts according to the gun)

(The drug dealers are frightened by Sang Chul who barged in.)

(The impacts make the live action feel more realistic.)

(Hyun Moo is startled every time it blows up.)

(The shooting continues.)

(Miss)

(Blowing up by itself)

(Blowing up by itself)

(Blowing up by itself)

(The impacts don't blow up on time.)

Going live is difficult.

It's hard to catch timing.

Yes.

(Scratching)

(The judges are frozen.)

(It continues to misfire.)

(The impacts only made it worse.)

It couldn't get worse.

It's terrible. I'll be going home.

(They can't end it like this.)

I still need to keep my pride...

and show what I've got.

(BEST's specialty is the real action.)

(Surprised)

He's hitting for real.

(Punching)

(He kicks for real...)

(and throws the person for real.)

(As the real action presents before their eyes,)

(he shares the pain.)

(Take my blow.)

(Going slow-mo on their own for the live action)

They're going slow-mo on their own.

(South Korean detective Cha Yi appears.)

(She kicks...)

(and throws people.)

That's all.

(BEST's live action ends.)

Well done.

First of all, you didn't stop at all.

What did you think?

(What will the judges say?)

It's not easy to put...

shooting and fight together.

You did well on creating that effect.

On the other hand,

when I watched the shooting in the beginning,

I was like, "What is that?"

I couldn't focus on the detail...

due to the loud sound.

(The smoke and gunshot...)

(buried their action.)

- Live action was a bummer. - It was a bummer.

Compare to what you said,

there wasn't much to see.

(BEST's live action is harshly criticized.)

Let's watch the action film.

(Will they redeem themselves with their action film?)

(Sang Chul from North Korea and Cha Yi from South Korea...)

(are working together to mop up drug cartel.)

(They invade the drug cartel's base.)

(BEST "Confidential Assignment")

(Drug dealers are working in their office.)

I like that.

It feels like a movie.

(Sang Chul and Cha Yi are working together...)

(to arrest the drug cartel.)

It's the calm before the storm.

Even though they're not doing anything.

There's a feeling something's going to happen.

- It's tense. - It's tense.

That's what they're doing.

(The drama is absorbing.)

Nice to meet you, powder friends.

That's flashy.

That's what shooting feels like.

It's a lot better in a video.

It feels like "John Wick."

I can see that.

(I agree.)

It looks like a real fight.

They know...

what to focus on.

(Sang Chul and Cha Yi are working together...)

(to arrest the drug cartel.)

(They can't help but clap.)

That was brilliant.

They did a good job.

(Agreed)

That was good. It was like a movie.

(I should apologize now.)

I should apologize now.

- Are you changing your opinion? - Of course.

First of all, I know...

live action is difficult.

Yet, Captain Lee said...

you tried a new direction for the live action.

- I wanted to give it a try. - You said you tried something new.

So I looked forward to it.

I'm not saying I was disappointed.

(We know.)

The video in general...

was a lot better.

I personally care...

about the beginning...

and the ending.

You start calmly...

like the calm before the storm.

Then you invade.

(It leads to a sudden invasion.)

I like that formation.

It felt like a movie.

Even a single scene needs a plot.

- An action scene... - Right.

needs a plot.

How it begins...

as well as how it ends matters.

That was more evident.

(Their action had a plot.)

You may wait for the result.

I'll lead you to the green room. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(BEST's remake mission ends.)

(What will the final evaluation say about BEST?)

Well done.

(Who's the winner of "Confidential Assignment" remake mission?)

(Time to evaluate "Confidential Assignment")

BORN STUNT and BEST...

acted "Confidential Assignment."

Teams that placed first and second in the early voting...

reinterpreted it in different ways.

Please rank them.

I've made up my mind.

In case of BORN STUNT,

they had good teamwork,

and their action was powerful.

Yet, I have to say their formation was...

quite old.

I see.

(Good teamwork and powerful action)

In terms of creativity,

it wasn't fresh.

(Yet, their action wasn't fresh.)

In case of BORN STUNT,

you could see their teamwork...

- even in the live action. - Yes.

But BEST was too hectic.

I couldn't focus on it, to be honest.

- Their live action was a bummer. - It was a bummer.

They need to create ensemble...

with the special effect team.

But their rhythm and tempo...

were off.

It was distracting in general.

That's how the live action felt.

When I watched the video,

it was so fresh.

It felt like a movie.

(Cinematic direction)

They had a good formation,

and the short scene still had a plot.

(Good formation)

(Good plot)

So I choose...

- BEST. - You chose BEST.

One vote for BEST.

I prefer BORN STUNT more.

(In Sub chooses BORN STUNT.)

In general,

I'd choose...

I see.

(What did the judges say?)

(The last two teams...)

(for the Classic Action Remake mission)

(Who's going first?)

9STUNT. Please come in.

(Very...)

(nervous)

Us?

- Good luck. - Good luck.

Good luck.

(They even have a high five.)

Don't get hurt.

- Be careful not to get hurt. - Good luck.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

- Let's go. - Good luck.

(Sighing)

We can do it. Do what you always do.

Welcome.

(9STUNT enters.)

Yes.

(Expectant)

Like all other teams,

we'll watch your live action first.

Can you tell us about the scene...

and what we should focus on?

What's there to watch?

We had to work on "Police Story" by Jackie Chan...

which was a difficult mission.

("Police Story", 1985)

(A movie about a Hong Kong detective on a special mission)

(Jackie Chan directed and played the main role himself.)

Just because we're remaking it,

instead of changing it to something new,

we kept the fun.

(Jackie Chan's films use geographic features.)

We didn't use the CGI or wires.

We put on helmets, take them off and steal them.

We made it funny.

I'll look forward to it.

"Police Story" by 9STUNT.

Let's watch their live action first.

Super Action.

(Super Action)

Did you all check where the wooden sticks are?

Structures always appear in Jackie Chan's films.

We've got to see that.

(It always appears in Jackie Chan's films.)

He has a different way of thinking.

He sees the objects in a different way.

And how to use it.

When he comes to the set,

he plans the action different from us.

You'd watch "Police Story" like a hawk.

(Sighing)

It's the hardest of all.

(How would a member of Jackie Chan Stunt Team evaluate it?)

Nine.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

I'm Cho Je Woong.

I play Jackie Chan in "Police Story."

Jin Young Jun plays the head villain.

(Je Woong is framed.)

(He must defeat the villains and clear himself.)

Let's start.

Ready.

Action.

(An intense appearance from the start)

(Detective Je Woong is framed.)

(He heads to the enemy's hideout to clear himself.)

(The fight begins.)

It's dynamic.

(Focusing)

(Soo Hee who has only 6-month experience...)

(lands with nothing on.)

(Wait!)

(He grabs the plastic sheet on the structure.)

(What's he doing?)

(Spreading)

(Exerting)

(Are they fighting...)

(or dancing?)

(Satisfied)

(She attacks his genital after dancing.)

(He doesn't miss the funny face.)

He looks like he got hit for real.

Why did you follow me!

My goodness.

That must be painful.

(A series of action...)

(continues without a break.)

(A cart full of basketballs appears.)

For Jackie Chan films,

you must use the objects around you.

(What?)

(The ball bounced back to Je Woong.)

How did he do that?

(Even Jackie Chan would laugh at that.)

(He likes it.)

(This time, it's the fridge.)

(Spinning)

He put her in the fridge.

That's cute.

(Going inside the fridge)

(Yelling)

(Next, they use the helmet.)

(Malfunctioning)

He's not ready.

That's what makes live action difficult.

(The continual use of props)

(Fence attack)

(Pant... Pant...)

It became a weapon.

(Using the fence to incorporate stick fighting tactics)

In such a short period of time,

there's been about 200 to 300 sequences.

Yes, it's unbelievable.

(From the start, 9STUNT's live has been jam-packed with action.)

(Without even a moment to rest, they've kept going.)

(As a result, Je Woong's actions have noticeably slowed down.)

Their sequence is so long.

He must be really tired.

(Gasping for breath)

(Je Woong can't seem to get up.)

(The fight scene with Young Jun, the villain boss, still remains.)

(Wince)

(The action sequence with Young Jun presses on,)

(but Je Woong seems to be nearing his limit.)

The overall structure, organization, and timing of the actions...

paired together with decreasing energy levels...

results in the loss of details bit by bit.

- It takes away from the whole work. - They're getting carried away.

(Young Jun falters.)

The actors are all positioned in tune with the tempo of the sequence.

So as soon as one person slows, others can't help but slow down too.

That's when the sequence begins to seem too loose and boring.

(Crawls)

Wow.

Oh, no.

Cut.

(The final check begins before filming the ending.)

Are you okay? Are you all right, Je Woong?

Catch your breath. Breathe.

Slowly drink some water as well.

(Ponder)

Despite it all, we should applaud their efforts.

- You're right. - It's tough for them too.

It's physically challenging.

Frankly, it's near impossible to do this in one take.

It'd be unheard of to do such a thing in an actual movie.

If this had been one of Jackie Chan's films,

it probably would have taken around a week to shoot this whole sequence.

Take slow and easy breaths.

We'll take our time with the next scene, so work on your breathing.

I anticipated Je Woong being completely beat and worn out.

While I knew he'd be completely exhausted,

I didn't want to stop him from doing this when he said he wanted to.

How did they manage to stop only once with the bike, wire, and car?

- Should we only stop once as well? - Don't strain yourself.

I'm going to devote my soul today.

Do as you wish.

Although we might get negative marks on our evaluation,

and as long as we don't injure ourselves,

I thought, "Let's give it a try."

Of course, given the nature of a live performance...

and the fact that we had complex steps gave way to some mistakes.

But I believe we were able to overcome that to go beyond...

and demonstrate our spirit and passion.

I like how these attributes showed through.

We'll take things outside for our last setup.

They've thoroughly prepared for this.

Place that here only.

It's kind of bulky there, so it's not great.

Just place one here.

Sit comfortably,

and breathe.

In our rendition of "Police Story,"

we wanted to top it off with an explosion scene at the end.

(Explosion Stunt)

(It even appears in Jackie Chan's film.)

(An extreme explosion stunt)

If there are any extras, I think it'd be nice to add some more there.

They're doing an explosion as well?

What, an explosion?

They're going to use that?

You know, the one that shoots fire.

(This equipment right here)

(Gas Canon: a device filled with pressurized LPG gas that sprays...)

(and ignites simultaneously to produce a blast effect.)

I reckon it'd be something like this.

As soon as his foot leaves the ground, fire will shoot out.

Flames will come from the side, and he'll jump off the ledge.

- You mean he'll leap? - Exactly.

For the back of your hands...

and your palms...

(Generously covering with water gel for safety)

I don't think it'll be necessary to coat them.

- And the back of my neck? - I'll definitely cover it.

Personally, one thing I really like...

is how clearly we're able to show these kinds of processes...

and circumstances to the audience.

So much preparation goes into filming that one scene.

Seriously.

Je Woong, be careful not to slip.

- Let's go. - You can do it.

After this, we're done.

He's picked up a flair for showmanship.

We'll go right into shooting.

Je Woong, are you going to jump from the get-go? Let's count to three.

Jump on the count of three.

- I'll count to three. - Okay.

(READY)

(Medical personnel are present on set in case of an emergency.)

Let's begin. Ready.

Ready.

(Everybody's watching with bated breath.)

Ready, action.

- Action. - One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Three.

The fire didn't spark.

- There are no flames. - It didn't ignite properly.

I think in this scene,

he was supposed to get completely engulfed by the fire.

But there seems to be an error on the special effects front.

This is exactly why doing it live is so difficult.

(Live missions are particularly hard since you only get one chance.)

(A round of applause for a fellow colleague)

They worked really hard.

If it were me,

I'd have been completely knocked down 2 10 of the way through.

His physical strength and stamina is commendable as it is.

It makes you cheer them on.

You did great. Really.

You all did well. Nice work.

(A pat on the back from Si Jung to teammates)

- Bring it here. - Good job.

Nine. Let's go.

(9STUNT, Live Mission Complete)

I was just so excited.

I was grateful that we were able to finish without getting hurt.

I kept thinking, "Our team worked hard."

I was pleasantly surprised with just how much you all prepared for this.

The panel, as well,

kept wondering if this could truly be accomplished in five minutes.

They expressed their amazement and awe.

Let's first take a look at your action film,

and then we'll hear the final evaluations.

(9STUNT's "Police Story": Je Woong pays a visit to...)

(the villain's hideout to clear his name.)

He's good at acting like he's in pain.

The visuals are great. The chromatic view is fantastic.

They shot this so well.

100 percent, he got hit for real.

Seriously, the directing is terrific.

(Here it is, twin action.)

I'm speechless.

(Cute)

(The final battle with the villain boss)

(Will Je Woong be able to clear his name?)

This scene is very detailed and really came alive.

I'm beginning to see Young Jun in a new light.

Wow.

Wow.

Tremendous.

- The presentation was excellent. - It was so fun.

- It gave me the goosebumps. - It was so enjoyable.

How was it?

First, great job on carrying over all the worthwhile elements

of Jackie Chan’s films.

From the acting to the witty scenes,

I liked them all.

I think it suits the theme of "Police Story".

I've done many action scenes with 1 shot, 1 cut as well.

There's only so much your body can do.

But for more than five minutes, you kept the rhythm.

I really enjoyed the composition as well.

I really liked the ending...

with the flame.

- Yes. - It was a positive comment overall.

Watching it live, I thought you went overboard.

Because you tried to emphasize so many elements,

one mistake led to others.

You made mistakes because you tried to show too many things.

I think you needed a different direction...

for the live show.

I wish you had focused on that part.

But I really enjoyed the video.

- Yes. - Thank you.

All right. Thank you, guys. You can now go to the waiting room.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(The mission for 9STUNT ended.)

It's our turn.

I'm so nervous. What should I do?

I'm ready, sir.

Let's enjoy it and not get hurt.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- Let's finish with a smile. - Yes.

- Let's do it. - Let's go.

- Let's enjoy it. - Let's go.

- Let's go. We got this. - Let's go.

Let's go.

What did I say earlier?

This moment...

It never comes back.

- Right? - Yes.

- We should make it. - Yes.

- I'll do my best. - Okay.

(Okay, guys!)

Welcome.

(It's nice to see you.)

(Polite)

You know the director, right?

(He looks familiar.)

I think I saw him before.

Doesn't he look like Hwang Je Seong?

I don't like it.

(They look like real brothers.)

(Laughing)

MONGDOL...

will show Police Story.

Did you watch the work of 9STUNT earlier?

- Yes. - What did you think?

I think they were a bit greedy for the live show.

(What?)

We were greedy?

Wasn't the edited action film good, though?

Yes.

He got speechless.

(Look at him getting speechless.)

Your live action must be different then.

As we were doing "Police Story,"

it was too hard to replicate Jackie Chan's action.

But we all majored in taekwondo.

(For them, 540-degree kicks are easy.)

(They can do 720-degree kicks with no problem as well.)

(The youngest ones were Korea's national demonstration team.)

(Five of them have fifth dan black belts.)

(So it's 20 in total.)

So we tried to add taekwondo kicks.

There would be some comedic elements as well.

(If 9STUNT showed revenge of a police officer who was framed,)

(MONGDOL will become a detective who raids a drug factory.)

I heard the newest member...

would play the detective, the main character.

It's a survival show.

So we wanted to be different from other teams.

The newest member joined us five months ago.

I wanted to show how much he improved.

He started 5 months ago, but it's like he's been doing it for 5 years.

You will see it.

The main character should stand out.

They took a risk.

I'm confident about my direction. That's why I chose to do it.

That's awesome.

(How did the newest member prepare for the mission?)

(One day before, the final rehearsal)

(MONGDOL's first scene requires wire work.)

Sit there for a moment.

(They have to show stunts suspended by a wire.)

(Wire work requires techniques.)

We should test the wire.

When I pull it, you should move according to it.

Okay.

Check the wire.

By playing the main character,

you can improve.

As the seniors had a trust in me,

I decided to play the main character with confidence...

to repay the faith.

(The story of the newest member who became the lead)

Let's rehearsal slowly.

Take your time and check his feet.

Are you going to kick it?

Try it slowly with the assistant.

- Adjust the position. - You should look.

Try it.

(Ji Hoon is watching his senior's demonstration.)

Okay. In 1, 2, 3.

Step on it.

(He landed on the air walk.)

- Are you going to kick it? - Yes. Over there.

He said he would kick it first.

- Over there? - Yes. On the pillar.

So you'll kick the pillar. What about your hands?

(My hands...)

After kicking it...

(He can't trust him.)

You should think about it yourself.

Don't just follow what he did.

If you're going to kick it and go there,

you should think about it yourself.

He's done this many times, but this is your first time.

So it should be comfortable for you.

Try it slowly for now. See how your body goes.

In 1, 2, 3.

(The 1st attempt)

(Mistake)

(He lost his balance and bumped into the rail.)

- Do it again. - Okay.

- Try to adjust. - Yes.

You should pull it while watching his moves.

After he grabs the rail.

Okay. Here we go. 1, 2, 3.

(As soon as he went up, he lost his balance.)

Try it slowly.

Okay.

- Action. - Go.

- Hey. - Hey.

Let's do it again.

Put him up first.

You should check the spot.

I'm sorry.

Get ready.

I used a wire at the set.

And it was my first time ever using it.

It has harder to move my body than I thought.

It was very difficult.

(He kept trying...)

(and he kept failing.)

(He lost his balance and turned once.)

(Patient)

Hold on. Let's adjust the spot.

Let's see where you're holding.

- Are you going to grab it there? - Yes.

(He pulls the wire himself in the end.)

Then?

(What's the result?)

(He failed again.)

Try it one more time.

- If it doesn't work, don't do it. - Okay.

(Frustrated)

In 1, 2, 3.

(The last attempt)

(He failed.)

Remove the wire.

Let's go in.

It's not working.

Honestly, we needed a perfect picture.

But we can't keep doing it...

when it's not working. We don't have time...

to keep trying.

So I made a quick decision to give up.

(The martial arts director decided to give up the wire work.)

Bring the table.

- Hit it. - Hit it and...

(They added stunts using a table instead of a wire.)

Turn it...

and bring it down.

Slide to come in.

After that...

They're coming. You should see them.

Then hit him after that.

How about getting hit then hitting him?

No. Just hit him.

Just turn it and...

No. Hold the other side as well. Just like I did earlier.

(The same table)

(Different moves)

The lower part.

- Hold this part. - Wider.

(Pushing)

Think about moving in sync.

Okay? Focus.

(Nervous)

Here we go. Shoot.

Let's go. Action.

(His kick missed the target.)

(His feet don't move in sync.)

Hey. You should kick them hard.

It was fine with him, but your moves didn't match later.

You should kick them quickly. Then you guys should...

keep up your guard. Then attack him.

- Okay. - Kick them hard.

- It's okay. - I got it.

(Hesitant)

Cut.

One more time.

- Do it properly. - Okay.

(His kicks aren't connected.)

It's hard to do it many times.

Kick like this.

- You should kick hard. - I got it.

He still has his habit he got from doing taekwondo demonstrations.

So his hand moves or feet moves don't look real.

(So his hand moves or feet moves don't look real.)

(The rehearsal continues without a break.)

- Cut. - Cut.

Ji Hoon. You were in a rush.

(He couldn't stretch his leg powerfully.)

Show us a cool kick. It wasn't cool.

(As soon as he pushed the ladder,)

(he fell immediately.)

- Are you scared? - No, I'm fine.

Make it real.

You shouldn't fall immediately.

(There's no progress in the rehearsal.)

- Hey, it's been two hours. - Okay.

With the lack of experience,

I couldn't do it properly, which put me under pressure.

It was physically demanding.

Cut.

- Let's do it again. - One more time.

(Will Ji Hoon be able to overcome the pressure?)

All right. MONGDOL's "Police Story."

Let's watch their live action.

Super Action.

(Anticipating)

Are you guys ready?

- Yes. - Enjoy it.

(Enjoy it!)

"MONGDOL got their newest member do it."

"And he's as good as that." I wanted to show it.

(Lee Ji Hoon, the newest member playing the detective)

(MONGDOL seniors playing drug pushers)

(He should break into the criminals' premises to mop them up!)

(Do it with confidence.)

And raise your voice.

- Here we go. - Okay. It's starting.

Let's do it.

Action.

Is he making drugs?

(Scene 1: Detective Lee Ji Hoon breaks into the factory...)

(to crack down on drug dealers.)

(Confident)

Freeze.

Put everything in your hands down and don't move.

(Bursting into laughter)

He's cute.

It's the acting of someone with five months of experience.

Get him.

(We won't let you slide just because you're cute!)

(The action scene starts.)

(He jumps lightly.)

(Jump 1)

(Impressed)

(Jump 2)

(He subdued the enemy without a weapon.)

(Knee kick)

(Jump 3)

(Impressed)

(He gently landed on the structure.)

(Kicking)

(Bucket)

It's a little comedic.

(You can't miss comedy.)

(Jump 5)

(Quick moves)

(He falls down without any equipment with no hesitation.)

(Impressed)

(Jump 6)

(The cart rider falls backward.)

It's very dynamic.

(They're using items like Jackie Chan this time.)

(Perfect reenactment)

(It's a long action scene, but they are not making any mistakes.)

(Exclaiming)

That was good.

The taekwondo kick.

Oh, my.

(They're punching and kicking like crazy.)

(He's not playing it safe!)

(Showing stunts without a rest)

It looks real.

(He kicks while hanging in the air.)

(Mid-air spinning kick)

(He takes him down with a back kick!)

Oh, my.

- Cut. We'll cut once here. - Okay.

It was dynamic.

(Applauding)

- It was clean. - Their teamwork is great.

The harness. We'll do wire work.

They're doing wire work here?

I think they cut it on purpose by using a wire.

- That's what I'm talking about. - To save energy.

Min, hold it.

It's a live mission, so it would've been nice...

to do it at one go.

But because Ji Hoon is new to this,

he gets tired.

So it might feel boring to those watching.

That's why I cut the scene.

(He made the decision for the safety and to save energy.)

- Start with your knees. - You don't have to hold it tightly.

Okay.

They're clever.

- They're clever? - They're clever.

They know when to cut it.

It makes them focus.

- That's actually a smart move. - Here we go.

Here we go.

Action.

(He jumps hanging on a wire.)

(Struggling)

Pull him up.

(Impressed)

He's Spider-Man.

(He's Jackie Chan, not Spider-Man.)

That's mind-blowing.

I should've seen it in person.

(He falls just like that!)

Oh, my gosh.

(Jaw-dropping)

Let it go.

(Falling from a high place)

For someone with five months of experience, he's amazing.

Let it go.

(They let go of the wire at the perfect timing.)

I think they have great teamwork.

That comes from practice.

It means they practiced a lot.

(Impressed)

(Strong kick)

(Proud)

(Bring it on.)

He's warmed up.

(Everyone is impressed.)

That's the highlight.

(Jackie Chan's legendary action)

(Perfect homage)

(Impressed)

That was nice.

(The stunt isn't over.)

(High-quality kicks)

(Standing up)

(Surprised)

(He's a genius stunt with 5 months of experience.)

Cut. Okay. This is it.

(MONGDOL's live action ended.)

Bravo.

(You worked hard, the little one.)

- Yes. - Yes.

(Proud)

(The members of MONGDOL worked hard.)

Are you okay? Is anyone hurt?

Are you all right?

(He pats his shoulder!)

(Their colleagues applaud for them.)

- Well done. - That was neat.

Good job.

First of all, are you satisfied?

- It was cut in the middle. - Yes.

I wish we didn't have to,

but they worked hard and I'm happy about it.

So it's been five months.

- You got five months of experience? - Yes.

But it doesn't look like it.

You said he looks like he got five years of experience earlier.

And he proved he was right.

There's an action scene...

I remember personally.

When you were taking down the bad guys,

I was so impressed by your kicks.

I really enjoyed it.

Even though I'm not a judge.

(Laughing)

Right.

For 9STUNT,

their live action was received well.

Let's see how MONGDOL did.

Let's watch the video.

(Super Action)

(Detective Lee Ji Hoon broke into the drug factory.)

What the heck?

Stop him!

Who are you?

Who the heck are you?

Freeze.

Put everything in your hands down and don't move.

- What? - What is this?

You must be kidding me.

Hey.

- What? - What's this?

What is he doing?

Get him.

Get him.

Get him.

Get him.

It seems the director is holding the camera.

Was it a single take so far?

My gosh.

They're fast.

Gosh.

No.

Oh, my.

It's dynamic.

(Impressed)

This is impressive.

Cut. Okay.

Call the actor now.

(Laughing)

It means it was a stunt all this while.

- The actor is coming. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - He's coming.

You worked hard.

(Super Action)

It was a stunt.

That was nice.

(Relating)

It's a great idea.

- It's a plot twist. It's awesome. - I like it.

(Big hands)

Who came up with the last scene?

It's something we always hear at the set.

As a martial arts director,

when the scene is over and I say, "Cut,"

I tell them to call the actor.

It's something I used to it.

So I thought it'd be nice to add.

I also wanted to show that we're stunt performers.

That's why I added the scene at the end.

I think the other teams must've related so much...

while watching the scene in the waiting room.

The ending was witty.

(Our stories...)

(hidden off camera.)

The plot twist at the end.

Stuntpeople are always under the shadow.

I really liked the plot twist.

The stuntman was under the spotlight...

and the actor was under the shadow.

It was very touching.

(Final evaluation of "Police Story")

The last one is "Police Story."

It was a match between MONGDOL and 9STUNT.

The live action of 9STUNT...

felt like they went overboard.

They were too greedy for the live action.

(9STUNT didn't consider the fact that it was live...)

(and failed to keep energy until the end.)

Breathe.

But the result was surprising.

They focused on a lot of things we missed.

(The video focuses on detailed actions.)

They came up with good action.

(Well-made action scene)

About MONGDOL's "Police Story",

I liked the stunt coordinator's direction.

They put the wire on in a short time.

(Get the wire ready.)

I realized they have great teamwork.

What I want to add is that,

even though the member started only five months ago,

they were able to make him that good.

They deserve more for that.

(It's the work of experience and ambition.)

However, compare to the live action,

the video wasn't good enough.

I barely saw anyone in pain...

even though they were getting hit.

They didn't express that at all.

Like he said,

they must run out of breath as it goes...

to make it look real.

But the main role was...

fine to the end.

So I'd say...

(What's their decision?)

- Well done. - Well done.

(The 1st mission ends.)

I wish we had a good ending,

but I have to announce...

the winners and losers.

Among six teams,

two teams will get eliminated today.

(Nervous)

"All of Us Are Dead". ORTHODOX versus FREEDOM.

My heart is pounding.

- Bye. - Oh, my heart.

My heart.

Please announce the result...

for those two teams.

First of all, ORTHODOX...

put their souls into it.

I thought your live action...

was almost impossible.

The car stunt that's impossible to present in the live action...

or the bike crash scene.

And you also presented the fire scene.

Fire out.

Your live action...

was very nice.

(Feeling proud)

Even though FREEDOM has fewer members, it was nicely organized.

We didn't feel it at first in your live action.

When we watched the video, it felt different.

You all had good acting, and you focused on your roles.

I could see your contemplation.

Who's the winner?

(And the winner is?)

ORTHODOX.

ORTHODOX makes it...

to the upper rank.

Thank you.

It was worth flying on the bike.

Congratulations. It's the big revolt of sixth place.

(Winner)

Next is "Police Story."

9STUNT versus MONGDOL.

Who ranked higher between the two?

(Yoo Si Jung focused on the visual side.)

(Park Jin Soo put up the youngest as the main role.)

It wasn't an easy decision.

In terms of the video,

you were both very good.

When I watched 9STUNT's live action,

it was funny.

But over time, the person who played the main role...

was getting tired.

That slowed down other people too,

and that could've been better.

Yet,

you didn't give up...

and tried to complete it with passion.

It was very touching.

When MONGDOL...

put on the stick action, he moved up and down...

with rhythm. That was impressive.

That was an interesting point.

The fact that you made a newbie that good...

deserves extra points.

It was very tough to evaluate them.

The production crew pressured us...

to choose one of you.

We were all forced.

(Emphasizing he's innocent)

I had to give MONGDOL...

more points.

MONGDOL won "Police Story" mission.

(Outstanding leadership led them to victory.)

(Winner)

Lastly, first and second places in early voting...

competed for "Confidential Assignment."

Director Kang Yun Sung will announce the winner.

I think BORN STUNT...

put on the most powerful...

and flashy action here.

I think this team put on...

the best live action.

I kept thinking they were veterans.

On the other hand,

when I watched BEST's live action,

I was like, "What are they doing?"

(The impact noises rather disturbed BEST's live action.)

But when I watched their video,

they had a twist.

They know how to make a video.

They know how to create tension.

They know how to lead fresh action.

They were trendy in various ways.

It was tough,

but I had to make a decision.

(Who takes victory?)

It's BEST.

BEST...

beat BORN STUNT...

and makes it to the upper rank.

(Winner)

In the upper rank,

it's ORTHODOX, MONGDOL and BEST.

You should get ready for the next mission.

It's time to announce the two eliminated teams.

(They must announce teams that are eliminated.)

The candidates are BORN STUNT, 9STUNT and FREEDOM.

Two teams out of three will be eliminated.

The upper ranks...

will decide who survives.

That's cruel.

Oh, my gosh.

(We decide that?)

Why are you doing this to us?

(Feeling pressured)

How are we going to decide it?

I'll give the leaders of the upper rank teams...

time to discuss it.

They're all very different.

This is never easy.

(This is never easy.)

(Super Action)

I didn't care about the rank when I chose it.

We should work together to promote our career.

We want to make it look good.

How about based on today's performance?

I choose BORN STUNT.

I think 9STUNT is more appropriate.

To be honest, I was surprised to see FREEDOM today.

Only FREEDOM...

has members who can replace actors.

(The leaders' meeting lasts long.)

This is most nervous.

This is most nervous.

(The judges are getting nervous.)

How about this?

Let's say the team in mind at once and follow the majority.

(Lee Tae Young suggests to decide by majority.)

Okay.

- Focus on today's performance. - Today's performance.

(What kind of decision did they make?)

The three leaders from the upper rank...

took about ten minutes.

They discussed it for a long time and wrote it to me.

(Super Action)

BORN STUNT, FREEDOM and 9STUNT.

Who's eliminated?

I'll reveal that in a moment.

I'll reveal that in a moment.

My goodness.

(That's not good for their hearts.)

(That's cruel.)

Before announcing the teams that are leaving,

I will announce...

your next mission.

Gosh, I'm getting a headache.

I'm getting sweaty.

Your next mission is...

the Joint Mission.

(Joint Mission?)

- Joint? - Team play.

Just as it says,

two teams will cooperate...

and create a work together.

If there are two leaders in one team,

stunt men's ability and teamwork...

will be like that.

Will be like that.

(So witty)

It will be a mess.

(That's Super Action MC's class.)

The set is helping him.

The Joint Mission will be stunt men's real pride match.

I'm expecting...

a real-life drama to present.

My headache will get worse.

It's a team play.

We better choose the team carefully.

Now,

I will announce it.

There are three candidates.

BORN STUNT.

FREEDOM.

9STUNT. Among the three teams,

the team that three leaders wrote...

is...

(Who's saved among them?)

9STUNT.

9STUNT.

(Saved from getting eliminated)

(And the other two are eliminated.)

Let's say it after the count of three.

One, two, three.

- BORN STUNT. - 9STUNT.

- BORN STUNT. - 9STUNT.

(9STUNT is saved with 2 to 1.)

I'll write it down.

I was about to throw up.

It's a bummer.

(A sad result for those who are eliminated)

It seems 9STUNT didn't expect it.

You're so happy.

Did you expect it?

We were nervous because our name wouldn't get call out.

Since we were up against BORN STUNT.

Why did you leave us out?

Why did you leave them out?

- No. - Why did you leave us out?

I didn't. I was just about to say it.

(Sullen)

We had a good time.

The fact that we showed our teamwork...

was good enough for me.

Stunt men's hard work...

isn't evident.

We decided to join the show,

so we can give the public...

a good impression.

Let's go back...

to where we were and shine bright.

(Let's go back to where we were and shine bright.)

(Second mission)

(Joint Mission)

(The team that places 1st in the game...)

(gets to choose the partner team...)

(and the directing authority.)

(The winner gets the priority.)

(We must win.)

(- Yes. - We have to.)

(Revealing the game)

(What is that?)

(Put the pieces on the air...)

(in the puzzle board.)

(It'll show their speed, wit...)

(and the wire action skill.)

(Puzzle Impossible)

(Only one team will win the directing authority.)

(The directing authority goes to...)
