Gina Carano admitted her scene with Bruce Willis was memorable because it was both one of her most emotional scenes, and also "one of those fantasies-come-true-moments," professionally and personally. "Here I am, in a very serious scene, trying to shame Bruce Willis' character while hand-cuffed to a pipe wearing this little skimpy dress," she said. "Did I mention I'm all tied up in a little tight dress, and I need rescuing and in comes action movie hero Bruce Willis?", she adds, laughing.
Widely considered the original face of Women's Mixed Martial Arts, actress Gina Carano gets some on-screen action time in Extraction (2015), using her martial arts skills to quickly dispense bad guys and obstacles with precision and speed. At the time of the movie's debut, Carano was currently ranked as the third best female fighter in the world with a 7-1 record. Carano had left fighting years ago but still enjoyed doing stunt work.
For Steven C. Miller, the fight and action scenes included using found objects in the fights. He said: "If you're in the bathroom, and there's a soap dispenser, you grab it, if you're near a stall door, you slam it. I'm a fan of using everyday items in fights. Those types of fights are the most exciting to me." Stunt coordinator Simon Rhee was able to pull all that together and incorporate it into the fight choreography, ninety percent of which was created by Rhee and the stunt team on set at the filming location.
Though they both have starred in movies since the 1980s, this picture was the first ever time that actors D.B. Sweeney and Bruce Willis have both appeared in the same movie.
