Gerard Butler on the grueling action of '300'

"On top of that it was fifteen guys that I knew from the gym, all of them. There was all of them, but when you put the costumes on you can't even see their eyes. This is all you see. They're all the same and they're just running at you at full speed and you're like [Screams]," says actor Gerard Butler of the difficult action choreography for '300'. "And the rake that has been setup is so complex and so technical that if you f**k up it's a forty-five minute wait and you are up, and then you gotta go, 'Okay, what do I do? Do I come down now or do I stay up?' It was intense stuff, but it was also awesome. But the fight with the uber immortal, I mean, he had a sword, a real sword and he had to swing it at my head and I was supposed to move my head away at the last minute and then block another one like this. I mean, if any of them had gone wrong there is not a lot of defense that you have against the point of a sword that's being pointed at your skull. That doesn't bang off of you. That cracks through."More...
