The thing that this movie does so well is it does strike the balance between delivering your top-notch martial arts and then with a character like Johnny Cage, tonally, his sort of fight at times sits more in the world of Jackie Chan.

There's this element of fun physical comedy that I get to do.

Yeah.

You know, which was a lot of fun to shoot.

But, yeah, boy, as I said before, challenging.

You know, when you're learning like a 25-beat move, you know, fight move, and they set up a dolly, a tracking shot, and you have to remember them all.

Yeah.

You don't do that?

Are you telling me there's no martial arts on Brokenwood?

They are missing a trick here.

Oh, well, it's open from today, actually, yeah.

Open from today, in cinemas now.

Do your mum a favour, leave her at home, get out of the house and go and see this movie.

In fact, take her along too, because if you're a fan of movies like Sense and Sensibility and The Godfather and this is a movie for you, you know, your mum will love it.

Cheers for having me, guys.

I really, really do appreciate it.

You know I was talking to Taika about your issue.

I mean, clearly, and not to be disparaging, but you're kind of, in New Zealand, sort of internationally on the D list a little bit, but he is, no, but he has, he's written a Star Wars movie, and I think he's got a way to get you guys off the D into the A.

Because he's written you guys some roles.

Yeah, right.
