EXCLUSIVE: Sucker Punch doesn't hit cinemas in New Zealand until April 7, but you can check out the first five minutes of the hyped film right here on Stuff.
In the new Zack Snyder-directed action-fantasy film Sucker Punch, Australian actresses Abbie Cornish and Emily Browning slay dragons, battle giant samurais, engage in World War I trench warfare with German soldiers and fight robots on a distant planet.
It sounds exhausting, but it's nothing compared to the tortuous three-month training schedule Snyder put Cornish, Browning and the three other leads in the film - Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone - through before filming began on the set in Vancouver, Canada.
The actresses endured 4.5 hours of martial arts and empty-hand weapons training each morning under the tutelage of stunt co-ordinator Damon Caro, who prepared Gerard Butler and David Wenham for Snyder's Ancient Greek epic 300 and Matt Damon in the Bourne films.
In the afternoon ex-Navy Seals tortured the actresses with weight training, body-weight pull ups, pulling tyres and other primitive forms of exercise.
Sucker Punch is set in an asylum in 1955 and has been described as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns".
It begins with Browning's character, Baby Doll, accidentally shooting her little sister in an attempt to save her from their violent stepfather.
Baby Doll is institutionalised at Lennox House for the Mentally Insane and hatches an escape plan with fellow patients Sweet Pea (Cornish), Blondie (Hudgens), Amber (Chung) and Rocket (Malone).
Sucker Punch opens in New Zealand on April 7.
