Jason reminisced about his childhood acting career and shared a humorous memory of his role in the animated special, The Real Story of O Christmas Tree, and told, “He (John) played my Uncle Piney. It was funny because, as I grew up and I found that recording again, I went, Oh, they must have sped up my voice to make it that high.’ Both my mom and dad were like, ‘No, no. That was, yeah… It was pretty high. Jason, that was your voice.”

The fights are very chaotic; I’m thinking the one in the hotel and the one at the Arc de Triomphe. Were those hard to choreograph and did anything go wrong?

Chad: Choreography, I think, by its nature is fun. It’s supposed to be difficult, you’re supposed to figure it all out and that’s the fun part. Did anything go wrong? I mean, there were no incidents, no animals or humans were hurt, but sometimes the moves don’t quite do what we’re supposed to do. But that’s the fun part!

Keanu: The stunt guys were amazing. Like, in the Osaka Continental scene, there was this kid who just threw himself down an escalator.

Chad: Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

Keanu: He just did it!

Chad: If we’re going to do an escalator fall, it’s a little different…

Keanu: Cos it’s steel.

Chad: Yeah, and keeps going. Our stunt performer looked at it and we were like, “are you sure?” He’s like, “yeah, I’m sure”, and then just launched it into. We were like, “yeah that was pretty good”.
