Almost two weeks on since arriving on Netflix, the popularity of Back In Action isn’t showing any signs of waning.
The blockbuster action-comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx has now topped the streaming platform’s most-watched list for 12 days straight, going to No1 in an incredible 85 countries.
In that time it has generated over 90 million streams – and counting. According to Forbes, Back In Action is in a promising position to make some Netflix history.
Evidently, the high octane, jaw-dropping stunts that feature throughout the film are going down a treat with audiences.
We recently shared details of how we helped produce some of the most thrilling scenes ever to be captured on the River Thames as part of our involvement with the film.
Now, thanks to Back In Action’s second unit director, JJ Perry, we can enjoy bonus footage of some of the amazing London stunts that were cut from the final edit.
