"Tyler Rake: Extraction 2" is currently celebrated on Netflix for its action scenes! On the set of the film, things weren't exactly squeamish either. Director Sam Hargrave describes two set accidents.
The first part of the "Tyler Rake" series already proved that Sam Hargrave, who worked as a stunt coordinator for several Marvel films, is a real action and stunt expert. In 2020 he celebrated his directorial debut with "Extraction 1". The action flick struck a chord with Netflix audiences and was streamed countless times.

Now Sam Hargrave, who most recently worked in and on "Avengers: Endgame" and season 2 of "The Mandalorian," among others, has returned as a director. In addition to being responsible for the content and creative realization, the 53-year-old enriched the film with his expertise for daredevil action scenes.
How important and partly dangerous the work of the stuntmen and women was for the two "Tyler Rake: Extraction" films is almost needless to say. Already during the shooting of the first part, there was an accident on the set. For one scene, two stuntmen jumped from a balcony onto the street. As stunt coordinator Daniel Stevens revealed at the time, Chris Hemsworth's double Dan Carter was seriously injured, "twisting his ankle completely backwards" - and still performed the daring stunt two more times afterwards.
There was also a spectacular incident during the filming of "Extraction 2". You can listen to the incredible story here in the video:
