Rachel Nichols

Film P2

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804516/

let me tell you, I’m scared of dogs. I don’t do well with dogs,

I had an escape route. I was like, 'If he grabs the dress, if he gets too close, there’s a pipe. I’m going to grab the pipe and I’m going to swing up over it.

That's quite an escape route, but Nichols could have done it. "Totally was going to. Totally knew I could do it. I was like, 'I’ve got the arm strength to do it, I’m just going to propel myself over it. That dog will never know what hit him.' And then, the handcuffs. I didn’t really think about it when I read the script, but I’m wearing handcuffs for pretty much the whole movie, and a lot of the time they’re behind my back, which is dangerous, as I learned when I fell. And so, that stuff that you don’t think about, because it’s just an element of the script, I’ll never look at a script the same way again. Dogs or handcuffs, I’m out."

I was in a dress with bare feet and they made these weird pads for the bottom of my feet. My arms are bare, my legs are bare, I'm wearing handcuffs for most of it - the handcuffs were real throughout, even when I'm driving the car. The bruises were unbelievable. As hostile and angry as I was, and as much as I wanted to kill Franck, Alex and Greg, I think it actually really ended up helping make the whole thing real for me.

Conan The Barbarian

Obviously, in Conan, Conan does in fact save me. [Laughs.] I’m strapped to a wheel and he has to come to my rescue. It was very important to the structure of the story that I save Conan when we dive off the cliff, where I swim with him and drag him onto the boat after he’s been poisoned by Marique and he’s wounded. And then he saves me by freeing me from the wheel, and then I get to go and throw down with Rose [McGowan], which was awesome.
