Don't believe everything you read on IMDB.With a shot that long and complex, obviously there weren't many takes, despite meticulous rehearsal.
In the editing room, it was the take with the "blood" on the lense that was obviously the best, and Cuaron's co-editor convinced him this was the shot to use. Cuaron had imnitially thought the spatters spoiled the take, but decided to use it anyway as it conveyed the feeel and emotion of being in the moment so well.
This is according to interviews with Cuaron and Clive Owen...who should know.
