Stunt double Douglas Tait stood in for Courtney within the scene, and Courtney says he noticed the actor get “knocked” fairly onerous. Richards ended up taking much more injury, as she apparently unintentionally hit herself within the face with the bag onerous sufficient to interrupt her nostril. The actress mentioned Tait and stunt coordinator Airon Armstrong demonstrated the stunt for her first, and Armstrong received hit within the face within the course of. “I see him get crazy for a second,” she recalled. “He was like, Okay. Don’t do what I simply did. You’ve received to observe via. So I step in, and what do I do? I hit myself proper within the face.”
Unbelievably, Richards did not really communicate up about her damaged nostril on the spot, however a physician later confirmed it. “I did not inform anyone as a result of I did not need my stunt double to take over for me, however I knew immediately — I broke my nostril,” Richards shared within the “Halloween” making of e-book. Seemingly unperturbed by the entire journey, she known as the damaged nostril “a bit of memento on [her] face from ‘Halloween Kills.'” Richards apparently requested for a lighter bag to forestall comparable accidents (“I mentioned to [Tait], I’m so sorry I’ve to do that”) however it will’ve made for a much less realistic-looking scene. This is not any shock, on condition that elsewhere within the e-book, one crew member known as the shoot “relentless.”
