The actors also embraced Lussier's do-it-real philosophy; both Cage and Heard performed most of their own stunts. "Nic is an amazing driver," Lussier says. "He's a total car guy, and he's so good at it. He and the stunt driver, Oakley Lehmen, would drive together, with Oakley behind the wheel and Nic in the passenger's seat. Then Oakley would step out and Nic would just take over."
