The video goes behind the scenes to look at how the stunt team prepared for the chase in Istanbul. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell explains how they practiced prior to heading for Istanbul, while second unit director Alexander Witt and some of the stunt team discuss some of the challenges faced in filming the rooftop sequence.
