- Hey, I'm Eric Andre, and I play Chris.
- And I'm Kitao Sakurai and I'm the director.
- We're going to take you through a scene
of our prank movie, "Bad Trip" shot by shot.
Come on!
(both men yelling)
(tires squealing)
(car crashing)
(crashing continues)
(crowd exclaiming)
- Oh my god.
- Those people thought they were on an art walk
and they were being guided by a tour guide
who was secretly our producer.
- Yeah I was like 'Uh what are we doing?'
(Eric laughing)
- Yikes.
The crash part of it, we only did once,
we had our stunt driver,
because me and Rel aren't gonna do that shit.
What are we, fucking, us?
(Kitao laughing)
We would be fucking dead, we wouldn't be talking to you.
Our stunt driver drove the car, flipped it, crashed it.
After it was crashed, me and Rel crawled
into the broken car, he like corralled the people
down the block where the car was crashed,
then me and Rel crawled out of the car with like
blood trickling down our heads, broken glass everywhere,
so to them it just looked like we just did it.
- Let's sit down, let's sit down.
- No we gotta get to New York.
- Let's sit down.
- We're never getting to New York now.
- Sit down.
- A setup like this was pretty complex
and we needed to get right.
We probably had between like 10 and 13 cameras rolling.
Some cameras are manned and operated and others are,
you know, kind of Go-Pros hidden in other places
so that like, no matter where anybody might turn
in the scene, there's coverage on them.
Especially in this scene, like the best angles in this scene
came from a camera operator who was pretending
to be on this art walk with everybody but happened to have
a coffee cup with a camera in it.
So as the scene was progressing, they could kind of
go up to people and shoot more intimate reactions
or intimate pieces of conversation that a remote kind of,
a long lens camera wouldn't have been able to capture.
- You know something man you ain't a real friend.
Real friends wouldn't do shit like this.
- I would watch the scene progress to a certain place
and then I kinda cued the pyro guy.
(car explodes loudly)
(crowd exclaiming)
Watching the explosion happen to a crashed vehicle
it's like, it's undeniable, you can't really refute that
as something that's real.
That worked really well for us both dramatically
in the movie for the car to get destroyed
but also you know, for all the people observing,
it really made them feel like
'oh this is a real thing happening
and this is really dangerous'.
- [Rel] I'm done, you bitch.
- Hey I'm done with you.
- Hey hey hey man, come on bro.
- Like they're trying to save us from a car
but also then me and Rel get in like a fight.
- [Tall Bystander] Chill out, hey, you take a seat man.
- Yeah you take a seat, bud.
- [Tall Bystander] Hey you take a seat as well.
- [Eric] Listen to him.
- [Tall Bystander] Y'all need to talk this shit out man.
- Listen to him.
- [Tall Bystander] Listen, you shut the fuck up.
- At this point, these guys are holding me back
and I kinda knew that and did this like
really weak grandma kick.
- [Tall Bystander] Chill out man.
- [Eric] What are you gonna do about it?
Yeah he really, he had me pinned.
- Hey man he got a concussion, man
so he don't know what he's thinking.
- [Rel] He do though, he's a fucking idiot.
This how he always thinks.
- I mean probably is, man, but right now is not
the correct time for that.
- We're throwing every emotion at them
but they were sincerely trying to help.
- It don't matter whose fault it is,
we gotta get outta here. - [Eric] It's his fault,
for being a dumb...
(men yelling)
- No listen, that doesn't even matter right now
because that car explodes and we all dead.
- Me and Rel kept calling this guy 'Migos Dr. Phil'.
(Kitao laughing)
And he was so genuinely supportive and invested
into our plight, he really didn't want us to break up
as friends, he was really concerned for our safety,
this is like a true good Samaritan.
- [Rel] I'm done.
- [Tall Bystander] Let's go.
- I'm done!
- [Tall Bystander] Let's go, you are done.
- I'm done.
- He's grabbing us like 'it's not worth it man,
it's not worth it!'
- It's so naturally funny.
- All right let me tell y'all a couple things.
- God bless this guy.
(sentimental music playing)
Give him the Oscar against the Colman club
for just being a real human being.
Yeah we should keep in touch with that guy,
I wanna like hit him up...
(Eric mumbles, chuckles)
- He's a cool guy.
(Eric laughing)
- Look at that shit, look at it.
- [Eric] It's your fault.
- [Tall Bystander] It is kinda fucked up,
you need to look at that shit.
- And that's the cool thing about the movie,
it's like it's not cynical, we were never like
making fun of anybody like we were always
the butt of the joke and we actually showed the humanity
in people which is really exciting.
- [Eric] Yeah exactly, walk away.
I'll get to New York on my own.
Don't need any of you.
Stupid fucking car.
- Check out "Bad Trip".
- Now on Netflix.
- Hey listen you gonna walk to your death eventually.
