Every episode of the hit HBO TV series Game of Thrones has a budget of an indie feature film. In fact, the TV series spends millions blowing up sets or hiring hundreds of background extras and horses.
But the cell is always looking to push it to the limit. According to stunt coordinator Rowley Imran, during the season 5 episode of The dance of Dragons when Daenerys are surrounded by the Sons of the Harpy in Daznak’s Pit.
“We set fire to 20 guys in one day and used a 45-foot flamethrower on a motion control crane so we could control the dragon. That was a new record, I think. It was the most amount of people that had been set on fire in one day.”
That’s pretty damn amazing.
