The pre-show conversation also included outtakes from the film’s skydiving opening scene, footage featuring the visors and mouthpieces removed from the Rangers’ helmets, and test shoots of the Tengu Warriors suits and flight rigs. The footage also included a rare look at the filming of training scenes with Mariska Hargitay as Dulcea – in place of Gabrielle Fitzpatrick – who temporarily left the filming due to a medical emergency.
