00:00First time in Rio.
00:02It's beautiful, even though it's raining.
00:06I'm glad to be bringing Man on Fire here.
00:08Check it out.
00:11Good vibes.
00:12We're moving here, baby.
00:13Shooting on location in Mexico and Brazil
00:16just brings a level of authenticity, texture,
00:18and then, honestly, a lot of culture.
00:20I love it here.
00:21It's great.
00:21It's kind of crazy.
00:22There's so many people.
00:24I'm going to learn Portuguese, and it's going
00:26really badly right now.
00:27I know and that's all I got.
00:34We're dealing with love, life, and death.
00:36And I think when the stakes are that high,
00:38you have characters who are willing to do whatever it takes.
00:44On this particular sequence, we have a moving airplane
00:47on the tarmac.
00:48Yaya is John Creasy trying to get our young lady, Poe,
00:51out of Brazil.
00:52They're being ambushed in a plane that neither of them
00:55knows how to fly.
00:56When I wrote it, I kept thinking someone would come along
00:58and say that we needed to scale it down.
01:01But if anything, we're doing it crazier than what
01:03was written on the page.
01:06Creasy is a man of many talents.
01:07And he's battling a lot of demons.
01:10I just want to make something that's cool for the fans
01:12to enjoy it.
01:15We'll catch you next week.
