Some thoughts...
Kayvan does an extremely good Chris Morris impression.
Riz talked about meeting Chris for a coffee every 2 or 3 months for 3.5 years before the film. He didn’t know much about Chris’s past work.
Chris knew that ‘rubber dingy rapids’ would become ‘a thing’ , as he wrote it on the back of their marathons outfits that he gave the cast as gifts at the end of the shoot, to the bemusement of the actors, who couldn’t really recall the saying.
Nigel wasn’t sure about it originally and asked Chris if there was a potential for him to become a target if he starred in the film, Chris said not really, if anything they’ll come after him, so Nigel said OK then.
Nigel fell asleep early one morning after filming in a motorway service station and the crew drove off without him.
He also left his bag at the station at Nottingham and asked Kayvan to pick it up for him. kayvan called him pretending to be the lost property guy at the station and asking Nigel to prove who he was in various different ways, Nigel got increasing annoyed and furious in the end until he knew it was Kayvan.
Kayvan was very nervous on set, he said he was mainly thinking what the hell am I doing here, this is way above me.
There was a cut scene that setup the weetabix at the end but they cut the start and thought it was better being this weird thing that isn’t explained.
Barry drove his car really fast twice before crashing but it wasn’t funny until Chris said do it very slowly.
Another point of direction was Chris saying to Nigel he must be ‘serious as beetroot’ for a scene.
They want to get it back in cinemas in May apparently for the 10 year anniversary.
Sam Bain sent some texts in to Riz and Kayvan kept saying ‘Chris has just texted me X’ throughout the whole thing.
Can’t remember the scene, but there was some talk of a great actor or stand in that was too good for the scene because he was so quick and brilliant at improvising, his lines where better than the script, it didn’t work with him having the upper hand so they had to cut it.
Lots of good friendly banter between them, they clearly all love each other and Chris to bits.
