Extraction 2 Brings Back One Of The Best Parts Of The Original

One of the best parts of the 2020 Chris Hemsworth action movie Extraction was its lengthy "one-shot" scene, and from the sound of it, the sequel will up the ante even further.

Writer Joe Russo told Collider that they filmed a 14-minute continuous take for the sequel. For comparison, the one-shot sequence in the original Extraction was about 12 minutes. While the final version might be shorter than 14 minutes after editing, fans can rest assured that the sequel includes the same type of lengthy one-shot, and that's exciting to think about. Russo didn't share any specifics on the "oner," as it's called, but teased that it "may" feature a helicopter.

The 12-minute one-shot from Extraction featured director Sam Hargrave strapping himself to the front of a car--putting his life on the line in the process--to film the very memorable scene.

A oner is a series of long shots joined together in a seamless fashion to form a single continuous shot. For the original Extraction, this sequence began with a car chase and continued with a hand-to-hand knife fight. A one-shot sequence takes a lot of planning and preparation, as you can see in the video below that documents how Extraction's one-shot was made.

Hargrave returns to direct Extraction 2, which also features Hemsworth coming back to play Tyler Rake yet again. The original movie ended with Rake injured very badly, and the sequel will seemingly show how he survived and got back on his feet.

The original Extraction broke Netflix viewership records, and while the story left something to be desired, the action sequences were memorable.

Extraction 2 releases through Netflix on June 16. Joe Russo and Anthony Russo (The Avengers) are producing via their AGBO banner. Joe Russo wrote the movie, which also stars Golshifteh Farahani, Daniel Bernhardt, and Tinatin Dalakishvili.

The Extraction film series is based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks.
