Speaking of soundtracks and of
movies, if you're ready, maybe
we can get into playing some Mortal
Kombat, too, and talk a little bit
more about the movie.
Absolutely.
I've been playing Shiva, I,
I just like what she's about.
I will play myself.
Which, you know, we talked about
this a little bit earlier, too.
But what is it like being able to
go into a video game and play
your character?
It's no different from playing
a character,
like having an avatar.
I guess that's the question.
I having an avatar and playing him
and then having to play him is...
Is like having an out of body
experience.
I guess the only thing I could
compare it to is a transcendental
meditation.
OK, here we go.
I think we're both...
Chat, we are both at the same level
here.
I've only... I feel like you have
way more practice than I do and also
real life experience.
So...
Sorry.
Every time I hit I'm like, sorry,
pops,
It bring back some... It brings back
memories.
I was going to say, yeah.
What is it like, you know, actually
fighting or like training to fight
for these movies.
Oh it's amazing.
I love that kind of physicality.
You know, it's like getting a
personal trainer for six months
and...
Yeah.
And learning the trade.
Which is nice.
Yeah. It's a great opportunity
to, you know, to
stay fit.
But it's a lot of fun, though.
But having said that, I mean, the
guys in this movie, I'm not
going I'm not going to challenge in
a dark alley on any day.
Exactly.
I mean because.
Wow.
Oh wow. OK was that...
oh. I
always forget when they do these
sequences, I'm like, man, they're
really...
Tia, are you going to do our guests
like this?
We're going to...
We're doing best of three,
so we will have some... Oh wait.
Seriously?
When was the first movie
that you had to train, like do
physical martial arts training for
it?
I would say Marco Polo obviously.
That was bar none
the toughest training that I've ever
had because it wasn't just fighting.
It was fighting in a very
ancient style of fighting
is the...
Oh, my gosh.
You know what now I know for the
next one I won't be showing any kind
of mercy
Alright, so the martial arts was
very, very, very
unique. It was something called the
Mantis Kung Fu.
And and,
you know, if you know
the Mantis thing, the mantis arms
come at the strangest angles and
there was,
you know, kind of configurated
insects, really, you
know, the Kung Fu style is so
unusual and unique that,
you know, you learn to activate
muscles and things that you've
never that you've never
used, that you didn't even know
exist, didn't even know you had
muscles there.
But we were trained by
the stunt team, you know,
from China. And they were amazing.
They were all students
of Yuen Woo-ping, the legendary
Yuen Woo-ping the choreographer of
The Matrix and Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon. Oh, I'm very
competitive.
Oh, no, listen, that's fine.
I don't want to... I don't want to
distract you. Or do I?
So! What complicated question can I
get into now?
Now a donkey, a tiger and a...
Exactly.
The thing about shooting a movie is
an action sequence.
You know, you have to do it so many
times. It's got to be shot in so
many different angles.
You know, you do a master and then
you can you know,
and then you have to do many
other different angles of
the same scene so it can take a
couple of days. And on top of the
fact that if you're going to include
visual effects, then
that is a different you know, that
is a different... that's a different...technique...
for that because,
you know, you're going to have the
visual effects guys coming in and
kind of plot and
the shots as well.
So, see, I mean, I'm
getting anxiety thinking about
it.
All right. All right.
No, let's do
this.
Oh.
All right.
I didn't know I was going to do
that.
I'm sure.
I didn't know I was going to do
this. I did not know I was going to
do this.
I'm like a monkey pressing...
And
that's why I like this game, because
it's really a 50/50 chance with
everyone.
Let's end this.
Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh.
See, my strategy to jump around.
Hey!
Oh, gosh, I genuinely now I see what
you said that I didn't mean to do
that.
We're both such polite players.
I know we are, we're like, oops,
sorry.
You do jump a lot.
I know it's my crutch move
I would say.
Oh.
Wow, I was not expecting
that.
Yeah.
You were so casual.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That's me.
Exactly.
Wow, wow,
that was nice. That was really
smooth too, that was really, really
smooth.
