'Violent Night' Ending, Explained: Does Trudy Save Santa Claus ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

The action-comedy film "Violent Night" is mostly like the usual Christmas stories of love and togetherness, except there's a modern world shine to it. That.

What happens to the rest of the money is not mentioned, and it is most likely that it returns to Gertrude and her family. Finally, as he flies away, Trudy is elated that the only thing she had asked for this Christmas is now in front of her—all she had wanted was for her parents to reconcile and become a couple again, and Jason and Linda had rekindled their love amidst all this crisis. Later in the film, Santa gets hold of a similar sledgehammer from a tool shed and starts to use it to take down the evil mercenaries. It is only when he notices the young girl Trudy and then when she asks for his help through her walkie-talkie that Santa decides to save the family. Alva is hungry to take over the family business at the earliest, for she yearns for wealth and refuses to believe that Morgan is there with her only for money. Santa Claus in “Violent Night” also seems to have a history of his own, which is rather different from the usual portrayals of the jolly old man. Scrooge, the mastermind behind all of it, had made this plan to get hold of the money, there is a particular reason behind his choosing this very auspicious day of Christmas Eve for the heist. It is not that Gertrude is protective of her family members; it seems like the woman only cares about her corporate business and would be ready to throw anyone under the bus to protect it. This was the reason he was out on Christmas Eve—to spoil the night of celebrations for everyone else. Gingerbread had also been appointed the butler of this family, and he seems to have been the source through which the rest of his team members were hired. Scrooge, intends to steal all the money possible from the mansion and also to make it a very violent night. The man replies that he has been but is very let down by the consumerist nature of Christmas in present times, with the spirit of the festival waning away.

Violent Night Stunt Coordinator Jonathan “Jojo” Eusebio on Training ... (Below the Line)

The action movie is the latest project from 87North, a production company founded by David Leitch and Kelly McCormick. Few filmmakers can compete with Leitch ...

We would have to whisper while we were prepping, and then as soon as we got a window, we’d shoot pieces of the sequence. Usually, that’s weeks and weeks of rehearsal, but we mapped it out the day before. We had to shoot like a splinter unit, in between shots on the main unit. We had to figure out how to execute this with David while still preserving a level of energy for the fight. I have an Eastern sensibility when it comes to action, but I think I have a Western sensibility when it comes to story. It took almost a week to shoot, including a day or two for the main unit. So we try to keep the stunts true to the characters and true to the actors’ abilities. And the room we shot in was small, so we had to reconfigure a lot of things to make it appear bigger. So you have to take in the fact that they’re children, but the progression’s the same — you start really small and build up, build up, build up. Black Widow only had a few fighting scenes with him, but for this [film], he really took the bull by the horns and just kind of went for it. Personally, I like to get them early on so I can teach them a base library of movements. BTL: One thing I love about your action scenes is how they show the physics of the stunts.

We would have to whisper as we got ready, and then as soon as we had a window, we would shoot parts of the sequence. Like in John Wick, we use a certain rhythm for the shots. BTL: Hong Kong action movies have a distinctive pace, much like your action in Violent Night. I have an Eastern sensibility when it comes to the action, but I think I have a Western sensibility when it comes to the story. She talked about how she saw Black Widow as part of preparing her to train Harbor and why working with children isn’t too different than working with adult actors (safety remains top priority). So we try to keep the stunts true to the characters and true to the skills of the actors. Eusebio has worked on an incredible variety of films marked by superior action, from entries in the John Wick, Matrix and Bourne franchises to Marvel movies like Blade II and Deadpool 2.

Violent Night” starring David Harbour is one of the most stupid movies you're likely to love.

Years from now, there will be a “Violent Night” drinking game based on the icicles, candy canes, stars and tinsel used to maim and kill throughout. Subscribe now to not miss a thing.](https://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/NewsletterSignup/Page) This is a movie that spends an inordinate amount of time showing Santa get piss-house drunk and urinate and vomit on people from his sleigh. This is a family that lives in fear of its uber-powerful matriarch Gertrude (Beverly D’Angelo in fantastic and filthy form) even as they jockey constantly for top billing. On the flip side is only son Jason (Alex Hassell), his ex-wife Linda (Alexis Louder) and their daughter Trudy (Leah Brady). And it doesn’t give two craps about all the ginormous plot holes that will drive you to drink if you waste any thought trying to make sense of them.
