00:00Dude, you've been working. Are you tired?
00:03No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm honestly having the time of my life.
00:07You don't need a break?
00:08I don't need a break. You know, what's fun is that, I mean, I've been wanting to do this job
00:13for like literally my entire life.
00:15So it's like, you know, I don't know why I would press the break whenever, you know, I'm just, I
00:20feel like I'm just starting to get going.
00:22I was talking to some of my buddies. We created it for Mission Impossible 2.
00:26We saw Mission Impossible 2, the John Woo version, and I bought a book on special effects, and I set
00:31up all these like firecrackers underneath the sand.
00:33We had this gunfight, and I had this kick in the sand where the gun flies up, and, you know,
00:38I shoot.
00:39Do you remember that thing? We have a beat like that in The Running Man.
00:44You remember the zero gravity thing where the plane's going like crazy?
00:48And I just started, we were talking about it. I got to show the movie to a bunch of my
00:51buddies, and they were like,
00:52dude, this is like literally what we were doing when we were like 10, 11 years old, just like, you
00:56know, doing stunt fights in the backyard and stuff.
00:58So I'm having the best time of my life. This is what I wanted to do.
