Hercules Shoot

During the shooting of the scene where Hercules breaks free of his chains in the movie Hercules (2014), Dwayne Johnson stated that he “blacked out” after every take, “I asked the prop department to lock me in with real steel chains that I couldn't break, so the performance would be real. When Hercules finally accepts his fate of being the son of Zeus, it's the epic moment of the mythology and our movie. We shot this scene 8 times. I blacked out every time. Down to my knees. Well worth the pain. This moment is iconic. I'm excited for you to see it.”
