Playing Higgins's strong protagonist called for Down to do some harrowing stunts, including being bound and gagged in a plastic bag. "The bag was noisy, and we had to do all the audio again in dubbing," she reveals. Anticipating a long master shot, Down got in the bag, held her breath and stayed still. "I got in the bag, and I was thinking, 'This is great, we've got it, we just have to do [close-ups],'" she says. "All of sudden, there are men coming at me, slicing the bag open with a knife and ripping gags out of my mouth. They said, 'We thought you were really dying!' I said, 'That is what you're paying me for! Now load the camera, get me into that bag, and let's get this take!'
