Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD hasn’t forgotten its coolest fight moment of Season 2: when Skye took out a room of Hydra agents in a scene shot in a single take.

When it came time for director Kevin Tancharoen to once again helm an episode of SHIELD in Season 3, he and star Chloe Bennet were tasked with creating yet another epic one-take fight.

Fans had a chance to see the fight unfold in Season 3, episode 15, “Spacetime,” as Bennet’s Daisy Johnson (formerly Skye) took out another room of bad guys to try to stop inevitable events from unfolding. Tancharoen told IGN that this time the fight wasn’t just a pet project, but was written into the script by showrunners (and family members) Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon.

“They were like, ‘And then Daisy takes out a room full of assailants in a one-take, choreographed sequence.’ So it was kind of like, OK, I have to do it then. The person who wrote the script was my sister and my brother-in-law, so I think it was a ‘we’re going to make him do it again.’ It was fun,” Tancharoen said. “I don’t think any one of these versions is going to be better or worse than the other. They’re just going to be different. This particular one was in a smaller room, so it was a little bit more complicated.”

In Season 2, Bennet, Tancharoen and their stunt team worked on weekends and after hours to choreograph and execute the idea for the single-take fight. This time around, the room the fight would take place in was much smaller and “more intimate” than the previous year’s, and it also had to fit the camera operators, producers and showrunners who wanted to witness the action scene unfold.

“It was really hard. This time, all the bosses were down watching it. One shots, if one thing doesn’t look amazing, you go again,” Bennet said of the shoot. “It took three or four hours of sprints and sprints and sprints. I honestly probably burned about 7,000 calories.”

Tancharoen credits Bennet as being the true reason behind the two one-take fight scenes’ successes. “Chloe was a trooper. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t know how to really do it,” he said. “On shows like Daredevil or The Flash or Arrow or any of these other superhero shows, they have a mask on and a hood or something that can cover their face. On SHIELD, they don’t have that, and it’s full out. You have to make sure that the person who is acting the part is actually physically doing it. I give all my props to Chloe for making that work.”
