If you thought the action was intense onscreen in Transformers: Age of Extinction, check out this exclusive look behind the scenes.
The stars had to navigate scenes with real explosions that seem closer to a true war zone.
This extra from the Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital release features a Chinatown scene from the summer box office hit. The highly planned explosions come fast and furious.
"I had never experienced anything like that. There were explosions going off the likes of which I had never seen before," says Stanley Tucci, who starred in his first Transformers. "It was really exhilarating."
Tucci and star Mark Wahlberg sprint throughout set pieces on the Detroit set. Bay follows along barking out instructions into a megaphone.
Jim Schwalm, the explosives expert in charge of Michael Bay set explosions, also follows closely nearby. The Transformers veteran says that even he was impressed by the firepower required for the fourth installment of the franchise.
"We were way busy," says Schwalm. "We had bombs everywhere there."
At the end of the scene and a barrage of explosions, the actors finally complete the task to the satisfaction of Bay.
"That was awesome," he yells into the megaphone.
Transformers: Age of Extinction is out on digital September 16 and Blu-Ray/DVD September 30.
