TA117: One of the Coolest Maneuvers

Minute One Hundred Seventeen: From Nat Being Sure to Clint Pointing an Arrow... Right at Us

James Anderson and Colin Parker from the Timeline Scavengers podcast join us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-seventeenth minute of The Avengers...

Steve gives Nat a boost and it’s quite the maneuver. It leads us to bring up the wonderful Heidi Moneymaker yet again as she does amazing work as Scarlett Johansson’s stunt double. Is this her? Is it Scarlett? No idea, but we celebrate Heidi all the same. She goes on to take down the Chitauri on the chariot, and she ends up piloting it via blades sunk into the back of the Chitauri pilot. Ouch! It’s intense.

This leads us to yet another fantastic shot in the film. It’s a oner that starts with Natasha on the chariot, brings Tony in to help her and then Cap, takes us up to Clint battling from the rooftops, and goes on from there. That’s all we get in this minute, though. Regardless, it’s fantastic. Tune in!
