    Don't look for your opponent. Know where he is. I'm blind, and I see more than any of you, because I don't look.

    Bowman: In the Director's Cut, when [] DeMarco [played by Jason Issacs] is killed, she skewers his pistol through the trigger; the trigger guard. I had to take that out because the MPAA thought it was too early in the movie to see that. Kirigi (Will Yun Lee) could not cut McCabe (Colin Cunningham), the agent, couldn't cut his head off. Then there was Typhoid's death at the end, when [she] throws the sign through her head, I had to trim 3 frames off the head of that. That was so there wasn't such a visceral impact on it, and it just softens it. But you need a visceral release when she kills Typhoid, because Typhoid theoretically just killed Abbey.

    Q: Didn't Elektra die in Daredevil? A: Yes, but like in her comicbook, she's brought back to life. She's resurrected by Stick, who is the head of this group of ninjas who have a bend towards good. She's come back different from who she was, but it's not because she was killed and brought back to life; it's more because everything in the world that she cares about - her father, Matt Murdock, and eventually Stick - disappear from her. She's completely isolated and becomes an assassin for hire. Q: Does Elektra's story connect with her appearance in Daredevil in any way? A: We do reference Elektra dying in Daredevil, but other than that Daredevil isn't a huge influence on the film. It has a very different look, and it has a very different type of story and sensibility about it. It's pretty dark for a comicbook movie. We definitely follow what her character was going through in Frank Miller's Elektra comicbooks.
