It was then time to film the scene. Everyone was told to quiet down. Jackman got down on the ground and started doing push ups to make himself be out of breath. They placed the clap board in front of the camera and called out the marker. Some gas flames nearby were turned up to light the actors with flickering firelight. Wolverine lay down on the ground in front of Magneto who had his hand out. Action was then called. Wolverine, who was laying on the ground face down, flipped over onto his back. Magneto then said, "I warned you." He then moved his hand and Wolverine spun around on the gravel with his clawed hands stretched out to the side. Wolverine then begins to yell out in pain while on the ground and arch his back. "Aaaarrrggghh! Jean!!!!" he calls out. Magneto then says, "You never learn, do you?" Wolverine then replies, "Actually, I do." Magneto then balls his fist and Wolverine again arches his back in pain and screams in agony some more. "Aaarrrggghh!!!!" Then someone on the set yells out, "Beast!" and the scene ends. They call, "Cut!" and the flames are turned down again.
Hugh Jackman then pops up off of the ground and a woman comes to him with a towel and starts cleaning the mud off of his costume. As she towels off his backside, I wondered how many female fans would have liked to have had that job. In the meantime, Jackman starts talking about the scene again with McKellen. Ratner joins them and tells Hugh to shake his claws as he writhes on the ground in pain to sell the effects more that Magneto is manipulating him. Hugh agrees and they prepare to do the scene again.
