Pistol whipped!

The best thing about shooting the Russian scenes is that I’m not in them and can just kick back and relax for the day and hang with my good bro’s and best buds between takes.  Unfortunately, none of my good bro’s and best buds were there that day.  OH, SHIT!!!!!!!!  CIRBUS, BARRY AND MIRMAN, SLAMMED!!!!!!

Barry prepares to pretend kill.  Cirbus does not pretend to have insane muscles.

We shot for 2 days in an old, hot, disgusting hospital that had no A/C.

Larry Murphy takes a break in the Chill Zone.  Figuratively, that is, because it was hot as fuck in this disgusting hospital.

Mather Zickel has some fun with the tubes on the gigantic portable A/C unit we had in an attempt to make the room cool.

All-American fake moustache.

Pretty sweet fake bullet wound.

Ewwwww!!!  Eugene wasn’t acting when he was grossed out by Steve fake stitching himself up.

2nd Camera Paul Helzer tries to make himself unseeable in the background of Furmanski’s shot.  Too cute, Paul!!!!!!!

Pistol-whipped again!

Cuffed whipped!

The shooting range we shot at.

Vanessa Riegel and Graham Wichman from the art department prepare some targets under the calming presence of a huge red SUREFIRE sign.

Cirbus and his abs get mic’d up.

YOU DO THE MATH!!!!!!!!!  Ha ha, when is that phrase not funny?!?!?  Oh, right, it’s never funny.  Sorry.

Preparing for fake target practice. 

Preparing to say “Byoop.”

Lee’s double ‘phones.  One of my favorite behind the scenes pics. 

Gross #1.

Gross #2.

I love the lady laying on the floor in the background.

John Lee enjoys a take while everyone else couldn’t look more annoyed.  Maybe it was only funny to John Lee.  Maybe it’s because it was hot as fuck in this tiny room that had no a/c, which was also in the hot as shit hospital with no a/c.  I hate when actors go on talk shows and complain about “difficult” working conditions, like having to do a scene in “cold water”, especially when the actors are making millions of dollars.  But this location was truly awful, and we are only getting paid dozens of dollars.
