Eastern Promises

I rewatched this Viggo Mortensen film last night. I saw it when it came out 15 years ago. I had forgotten how long and extensive the fight scene set in a Russian bath was. 3.5 minutes of intense fighting between two fully dressed individuals and Viggo who is wearing nothing but his prison tats and make up to hide the bruises he incurred over the 2 days it took to film the scene. Got to admire an actor who realized from the get go that it would not have been believable for a towel to stay on him, nor would it have been feasible to film so that his cock and balls were never in the frame. He said "let's film this real"
