00:00They killed people in the arena for fun and that was real.
00:13There was a big focus on the physical preparation for this film.
00:17Remember why you're here.
00:19We're making history.
00:21I put these guys through hell.
00:24There was a lot of very physical training.
00:27I got my ass kicked.
00:30You can prep and prep and prep and prep.
00:33But you still got to kind of throw that away.
00:35We wouldn't need a wire. I can take that.
00:37Do it.
00:39And also like whatever genius idea Ridley's gonna throw at you.
00:43I discovered that Paul's very fast and very brutal with a sword.
00:48It's crazy, right?
00:50I've had some training with swords before but not like this.
00:53Surprised the hell out of me because he can be really violent.
00:58The attack's fucking perfect.
01:01Ridley has an extraordinary team.
01:05They're absolutely committed.
01:08Pedro and Paul got beat up by the best.
01:12I'm incredibly proud of the finished product.
01:14It's just an absolutely mad experience.
01:17This film just dials it up to 100.
01:23My hat comes off to them and what they did.
