I remember Berlin. Berlin to me was the star of the film. I loved for,six months that we filmed there.
I would take lots of falls and you know, get shot three or four times,and this sort of thing, so all that sort of stuff. And there are,tussles with various characters. I like that kind of thing.
Repetition on things like that becomes quite painful. If you do a stunt,sometimes it can look like a stunt.
