1. Harley's Haircut Was One Take

SNOT BUBBLE. I'll claim that as my idea #quarantinewatchparty

prevnextEvery time we cut, a platform was immediately wheeled under them. We also used really good dummies in wides when we didn't need them.

3. The Origins of the Fanny Pack
prevnextThe sparkly fanny pack was an actual item sold at one of the stalls. I saw it and immediately knew it had to be in the movie. Margot walked on set and immediately snatched it without knowing it was already in the works.

5. Black Canary's Musical Number
prevnextJURNEE SLAYED THAT SONG. SLAYED. I had the crazy idea that our Canary would sing a cover of Man's World and Jurnee was my dream come true. #QuarantineWatchParty

6. Harley's Evidence Locker Fight

7. Black Mask's Pajamas
prevnextYes that is Ewan's face on his pajamas. I love Erin Benach, our costume designer, more than anything. #QuarantineWatchParty #BOP

8. The Perfect Easter Egg
prevnextShot of Harley and Cass walking away from camera in the Hit Me With Your Best Shot montage...is an ode to the famous shot in The Professional, but in reverse. #QuarantineWatchParty #BOP

9. The Birds Gearing Up
prevnextWe had to cut a huge hole in the floor to get that oner rotating out of Harley's weapons chest. Gnarly but very satisfying when we got that right #QuarantineWatchParty #BOP

10. More Improv!
prevA lot of the taco scene is improv too...just wanted to create a casual, convivial vibe with all the ladies getting along. Love "you drink right kid" and "I don't think so" and Huntress's amazing awkwardness #QuarantineWatchParty #BOP
