Michelle Pfeiffer did her own whip stunts. She was trained in whip combat by Anthony DeLongis, famed whipper and stunt coordinator who also trained Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones. Explaining her training, “I trained for months with the whip master. On our first day together, I caught his face with the whip and it drew blood. It completely shattered me. I was very nervous on my first day of shooting. I’d gotten pretty good with the whip, but when you show up, you don’t anticipate all the lights everywhere.” She completed her iconic “mannequin head strike” attack from the 1992 blockbuster in just a single take.
