00:00All of it, all of it.
00:02Even if we weren't using horses, there was a massive mechanical rig that was pulling us around
00:08at as safe a speed as they could, but still going fast.
00:12And again, there was parts where, when he's getting dragged behind,
00:15it was really impressive work.
00:18He's having to fall off and catch a certain—
00:20and obviously he's chained in.
00:22I mean, you take it, why am I talking about that?
00:25I'm going to tell everything that he did for the whole chariot scene.
00:28Yeah, that was a cool little stunt I got to do, hanging off the back.
00:33They put a pad down. I wasn't actually dragging, but my stunt double Adam was.
00:38But no, I think the most difficult part about the chariot sequence was
00:42I was harnessed to the front of the chariot,
00:48and then Daniel was behind me, harnessed around me,
00:51so we'd have to keep switching places.
00:54While we're doing the fights.
00:55While we're doing the fights, and it was just impossible to get through.
00:57Also, because it's going so fast, but it's still a chariot,
01:01like it's like, kind of like jolting the whole time.
01:03So it's like, you're trying not to kind of like get tossed back,
01:06because then it's going to look ridiculous,
01:08because you're not supposed to be like chained in there.
01:11So you're trying to like keep your balance,
01:13while also kind of dancing around each other for this thing.
01:16It was really fun, but it was, yeah, kind of challenging for sure.
