Sadly, stunt people don't get paid enough. Many stunt people have been severly injured or died during these kind of stunts (also in big budget series and movies, like in Batman: the Dark Knight, Deadpool 2 and season 9 of The walking dead.
I'm not sure if it is worth it. Like, why did they use real tempered glass for the tables instead of emergency glass or silicon based imitations?
Stunt people sell a good action scene and as such a good action movie. It doesn't matter if it's Charlize Theron as the lead to draw the crowd. Without the stunt men, the movie wouldn't exist.

how does one not extend their arm passed their elbow for that shot? her arm went well passed her elbow. im so confused, also at 10: 12 he says -she is not on cable she free jumped- but directly after he says theres a double, why a double if she(charlie) free jumped? and at 10: 35 he says they did it all in one(i assume one take) how does charlie jumping and the double being there happen all in one take?

The director of the film wanted to show a more realistic view of the fight scenes, taking into account that the woman has less strength than a man, but the result was catastrophic, Charlize seemed to face zombies that came back to life, after mortal injuries they continued to react. The film did not show the high kicks that Charlize is good at doing, and that's what the audience likes to see.

I can suspend my disbelief for movies and shows like -Game of Thrones- and -Star Wars- because they are fantasy. However, I cannot believe that a 120 pound woman could do any of this. She would have been murdered by the first guy in the room. Feminism is silly.

Never worked with tempered glass, but plenty of experience grinding, heating and cracking untempered glass for Art. Kind of amazed that tempered can cut you so much; I just assumed one behaved like a surgical blade, the other was fairly blunt.

What she's doing an atomic blond is so unrealistic no one could do it like she kicks someone my fully extending her leg no one could do that you have to get like a running start just to be able to kick someone over, great movie though

Those years a professional ballerina came in hand for the fight scenes. - Ruined by the cinematography. Charlize is great for making high kicks, then the guys put her to make Jiu Jitsu strokes, it seems that they do bad on purpose.

The Atomic Blonde problem is that it did not have high kicks, round-house kick, hook-kick, crescent-kick, that made me hate the movie, despite being one of the few productions in which the actress herself does the fighting scenes.

I'm not a film student or anything. but I thought film makers usually replace glass with transparent panels made of sugar because it's easier to break and can minimize the potential damage to the actors (cuts and bruise)?

2: 57 haha for some reason -frame dropping- always makes me think of Monty Python. like to accentuate the slaps in the scene that goes -A woman? - -No, no. -Roman-. - [guard slaps him with wrist cuff]
