JAKARTA - Joe Taslim does not want to use a stuntman or stuntman for his role as Sub-Zero in the Mortal Kombat film. Joe realizes his fighting ability is one of the reasons he was selected in the Mortal Kombat film. Because of that, Joe wanted to give his best.

"To fight, you don't use a stuntman. Because they hired, I really aim to be able to contribute to real battles that don't use a lot of doubles (stuntman)", said Joe Taslim when met at Metropole XXI, Central Jakarta, Friday, April 23.

"So double if the actors can't fight. If the actors can perform they will be more confident. Because the pictures will not be cut into pieces," he continued.

Received praise despite playing an antagonist role, Joe Taslim admitted that he was grateful. "So everything is done alone, thankfully (without injury) until the shooting process", he said.

For information, all the fight movements played by Joe Taslim are by the direction of the choreography team. He did not contribute to the choreography of the action and fighting movements in the Mortal Kombat film because he feels it fits the choreography offered.

"The choreography is not (give input). If I am used to many productions, in Korean films the choreography is Korean swords, ninja warriors are kung fu choreographers, Chinese ones directly teach, so it's okay", said Joe Taslim.
