Narrator: In this three-second shot from "Everything Everywhere All at Once," Ke Huy Quan pulls off five distinct moves with zero cuts. Brian: The part where I jump through and I'm sailing through the air in slow motion, it's to emphasize the airtime and to emphasize the beauty of it. Narrator: Another moment that needed wire support: this wide shot where Michelle extracts butt plugs from both of the Le brothers in slo-mo. Andy is getting pulled by a wire, while Brian's suspended up top holding a plank position. Compare that to this three-second shot from 2011's "Columbiana," where you see the camera cut 11 times.

Executing these core kung fu moves perfectly was just half the work on "Everything Everywhere." The team also had to put their own spin on the choreography. Literally, as you can see in these moves Andy did while doubling for Ke. Narrator: Wires were pivotal in the trophy fight, which was full of extreme motions, like this leap through the air.Timothy: We were able to get this visual of her floating doing a flying knee down the stairwell towards Michelle.

Narrator: The fights in "Everything Everywhere" bent the rules of human movement and action in general.Timothy: There is an aesthetic beauty and dance-like quality to the fight sequences that you see in Hong Kong actions. The directors of "Everything Everywhere" followed that model, as they wanted audience members to see it was actually the actors fighting in most of the scenes. They didn't want to have to shake the camera a lot or point away from the actors' faces to sell the fight. Narrator: Wirework, or "wire-fu," has long been a signature of kung fu movies, with OG Hong Kong films using wires so thin they were invisible on-screen, even if they sometimes broke.
