In an exclusive interview with uInterview at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas, Johnson revealed his most memorable moment from shooting the movie.

“You know, I honestly think the most difficult thing to shoot might have been the chase sequences, just to make sure like we had a few stunts,” he said. “There’s a couple of fight scenes in there so those were pretty tricky to do, to be in them. I get in a fight with the basketball player Boban [Marjanovic], who’s great, but he’s, you know, 7’5” and really strong and he was throwing me against the wall.”
