But did you know that in that scene the actor from The Last of Us did you fall asleep completely? This was confirmed in an interview with SensaCine on the occasion of the premiere of Kingsman: The Golden Circle:
We shot that scene in Croatia in a spectacular location. It was very difficult because it was like a circle and the sun beat down there all day. It was very hot, but at the end of the day you could take out the whole weapon and throw yourself into the sea that was next to it. And shooting it was the best part because I could lie down. And Hapfor sat on top of me and the blood running down his face was cool. […] And I fell asleep. It was like a nap. It was the best part of that fight
