How They Made Sisu: Road to Revenge Even Crazier (Director Jalmari Helander Walks Me Through It)

Sean and Cody sat down with Jalmari Helander, the writer/director of Sisu: Road to Revenge, to talk about crafting a sequel he believes is better than the original. We dig into the emotional core of the film, the challenges of making a story in constant motion, the wildest kills, Buster Keaton influences, and how he designs “moments no one has ever seen before.”

We also discuss the cultural roots of the franchise, why the films have so little dialogue, and his mindset stepping into the RAMBO origin movie. And of course… Jalmari explains why you “must see Sisu: Road to Revenge” in the most Jalmari way possible.

If you’re a fan of Sisu, action filmmaking, or behind-the-scenes creativity, you’re going to love this one.
