A series of behind‑the‑scenes videos released by VortX’s “Making of” channel (which later received a “restricted” label for containing “graphic injury footage”) showed Maya performing multiple takes of a 30‑second fight sequence in a rain‑slicked alley. The footage captured her sweating, wincing, and repeatedly resetting the choreography. Such images humanize the performer, exposing the “cracked” nature of the glamour associated with action stardom.

- Ally Mac (likely a misspelling or reference to an alias / fan‑nickname for one of the actresses or a stunt performer) — speculated by some forum users to be a composite or behind‑the‑scenes coordinator who worked with the lead actors to blend martial arts with freerunning.
- Tyana — possibly a stand‑in or secondary character actress whose raw audition tapes or rehearsal clips (the “cracked” material) show her performing complex wall‑runs and fight choreography without safety wires, matching the film’s documentary‑style realism.
- Dany Verissimo — a real actress in District 13, known for her role as Lola. The “cracked” behind‑the‑scenes footage allegedly captures her pushing through exhaustion, rehearsing brutal hand‑to‑hand sequences alongside David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli, and revealing how the film’s low‑budget constraints led to genuine risks.
3.2 Mac (MacKenzie “Mac” O’Leary) – Stunt Coordinator & Second‑Unit Director
- Background – Former competitive parkour athlete, Mac transitioned to stunt work after a career‑ending injury. Credits include The Edge of Tomorrow and Blade Runner: Echoes.
- Contribution – Designed the high‑velocity chase sequences through the district’s ventilation shafts. The “cracked” footage includes a stunt that was deemed “too dangerous” for broadcast, featuring Mac performing a full‑body roll off a moving platform.
- Behind‑the‑Scenes Note – In a 2025 podcast appearance, Mac revealed that the production built a replica of the “Cinder Bridge” at a height of 30 ft, allowing for a 12‑second continuous shot that ultimately was cut for pacing reasons.
