Action!
The chainsaw fight,
I think it's cooler than the ones in the pilot,
I think it's crazy.
- There's a chainsaw. - A lot crazier.
Jesse's passed out
after drinkin' some shot off the A.C., the air conditioning unit.
Jesse Custer is at this point just discovering
he has an entity within him that's all powerful.
These other people have realized it
and need to get it from him.
DeBlanc and Fiore are two angels,
DeBlanc's from hell and Fiore is from heaven.
They've been given a job of custodians of this power
which is now inside Jesse, now they've gotta get it back.
I opt for having-- the script calls it
"a chainsaw caesarean."
Wait!
I don't think DeBlanc and Fiore
have spent much time on Earth
in human form.
Are they the right people for this particular job?
Absolutely not.
It's probably the first time they've really experienced pain.
Mark.
You're gonna be sorry you did that.
Tastes like shit!
They're not fighters,
they're basically fighting like fifth graders.
You're just gonna head-butt, he moves, come back...
...and he goes nuts.
You know, usually, you have some kind of skill,
but these guys don't have any.
So making that believable was challenging.
Okay, can someone say, "Bang, bang, bang"?
Action.
Weeks and weeks and weeks of prep going to--
- A lot of prep. - A fight, like the chainsaw fight.
I think the actors quite enjoy it, honestly.
Of all the things in movies,
when actors get to do fight scenes,
they're like kids playing around.
Yeah, it is, it's the most like being a kid playing around.
Are we ready for a bit of fighting?
- With the chainsaw bringing that-- - This is bollocks, isn't it?
When you start to work out all those moves
and it's just muscle memory,
and you can start bein' silly then,
I can start puttin' in a little, you know, like,
"You got me nose, you got me nose!"
End this--
End this!
Bastard.
It's not that cool stylized poppin', lockin', each over
and like ninja shit goin' on.
Cassidy is a drunken Irish idiot,
you know what I mean?
Fiore, he's got the upper hand here.
Like, if I'm on my back, is there a way
that we can have him stop him from down here.
There's something I like about him
- keeping a snapping animal away. - Yeah.
I wanna do as much as I can,
I got to stab Anatol in his face.
When he slits underwear with a Bible,
I've gotta lock my arm ov-- if my arm goes down,
I move into him, and he doesn't have the space,
he can't hit me with the Bible.
- Easy. - Let him take himself and you just got--
He is.
- He is? - He is.
- You're taking yourself into that? - I'm throwing myself in that, eh.
You do not wanna do that that hard.
Joe, his 30% speed is like most people's 100.
I have to remind me self to slow down, I have this--
I get excited, especially when I'm gettin' it right and I speed up.
I've kicked Tom in his nuts, twice.
Yeah, I punched Anatol in his nuts as well.
- Action. - Oh, nuts!
I keep hitting you in the dick!
They flip over the pews, but they won't do it,
the stunt doubles will do that part.
We have a couple of very close hits to the head,
the stunt double will come in and take those.
We call it the Bible beat down.
He's got a wet bloody sponge behind there.
I think at some point we have to shoot
in various different angles for it to read.
Actually, it's a hymnal that kills somebody,
not easily achieved with a real book.
So we've got our foams.
And that takes us to--
Okay, cut.
How's that?
We love each other, it's just pretend.
Shit!
Seth Rogen just came up and said, "It just needs to be like this."
And he got like a ketchup bottle of fake blood and just went...
...and that was it.
We're about to slice him and then his face blood is spraying.
We have this gag where Fiore gets his arm chopped off.
We've cast a hand that is kind of in a holding chainsaw fashion.
There's a whole loop of tubing
and I go in there, I notched it all,
so that it will just spray out.
And this arm magnets on.
Also special effects guy, Dan,
built a chainsaw that is rigged with blood,
- so it's gonna be double the blood. - It will spray everywhere.
There'll be blood shooting out of this.
Action.
And cut!
Incredible!
It's an actual chainsaw, we took the motor out of it.
There's three remote control components:
the smoke, the chain, and then him driving it.
Ouch!
Go!
Cut.
Just try some...
Grab one there, you see that?
Well, you won't fuckin' see that,
Mr. Easy Dead.
Not the most exciting for me, I mean, it is to watch,
but I'm dead on the floor, pretty much out cold.
Like I said, Padre,
no trouble.
