I don’t know how many days it took to film, how many people were involved, what sort of complexity it took to place the cameras, how often they had to do it to get it right or who did the actual stunt. I just sit there open-mouthed when United States Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) opens that roof door to see Mark Roberts/Mark Warren/Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) standing on the edge of the roof facing towards the street and says he can’t be arrested because of what he knows. Mark Whatever then leans out, tumbles off the edge of the roof, swings down attached to some rope and swings out and over the street to the rail yards and lands on the roof of the station and leaps onto a train car leaving for elsewhere. My little heart goes pitty-pat every time.
