JJ Makaro helps bring the fight sequences to life as stunt coordinator on the CW's Arrow. He, fight coordinator James Bamford and a host of others bring the battles from page to screen each week on the series, and they did perhaps their best work with the fight between Green Arrow and Deathstroke in the Season 2 finale.
The fight took place on a boat and also intercut flashbacks during the battle, which was no easy task for the crew. Makaro spoke to EW.com about that fight, and he also revealed what he wants to incorporate for Season 3:
"Our fights are going to get better again because they always do. James, we keep pushing him and we keep giving him stronger challenges. He's right now in Asia learning some more fight moves, so he's really moving forward with the fight work. Now that they've put us into Asia, hopefully we'll be able to get in there and have a lot of fun doing those kinds of fights. But the other things that we're trying to get out is I've always wanted to do a parkouring sequence through moving traffic. I've seen little bits of it. We dabbled with it in the previous season when we did the huge jump across the alley and then came down the fire escape and hopped on a car, and then we did a little parkour over some moving vehicles, but that's something I've been hoping to do somewhere along the line. I keep watching for the opportunity for it. But of course, it's as big and complicated as a lot of the things we've done already. I'm sure if we do do it, it will be a challenge."
Star Stephen Amell recently posted a video of himself doing parkour, so it looks like he's getting ready in case Makaro's wish comes true.
