One clip included is a fabricated Hot Ones interview with the real host Sean Evans. However, it turns out that Zac and Sean actually shot an entire interview in character. Richard explained why the scene got cut from the movie. Keep reading to find out more… Speaking to The Wrap, Richard said that he was “sorry” that the scene got cut. “We had originally shot a full episode of the ‘Hot Ones,’ which I’m sorry we don’t get to show, which was a full interview that Sean and and Zac did together that was filled with a lot of funny improvs and things like that,” he said. Richard continued, saying, “It was really fun. We had four cameras, and the two of them just went at it, like over and over. It was really fun to film, Sean was delightful. He was really great to work with.” Why didn’t it make it into the movie? “But it was too time consuming and we couldn’t put the whole thing in there. But that was part of what the opening was going to be,” he explained. Zac recently shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how they shot one of the movie’s biggest stunts.
