And we were running pretty fast and just got on like normal passengers and then had to go and hang out in a house on the Kowloon side and wait until something got settled.
But the guy, it was never, first of all,
We didn't put him past his waistline over that balcony.
And there was never an intent to drop him off of it.
It started with a friend, my friend at the time, who was my kickboxing trainer who needed a job.
So I got him a job as security.
And...
He overreacted.
Definitely this guy was holding something when he jumped out at us.
And so he responded very instinctively toward the guy.
I responded instinctively toward the situation.
And about halfway to the balcony, I saw it was a camera and not a weapon or something like that.
So I was marching him through the room also to what was an open balcony.
And yeah, we got him about, you know, just holding him down across it.
And I'm yelling at my friend, you know, it's a camera bucket, you know, blah, blah, blah.
And we didn't have time to pull him back before the hotel security who were walking us to the room now turned on us and grabbed us off of him.
We never got to show we weren't going to kill him.
And that's when Midnight Express happens.
And we just...
blew out of there and he didn't know what happened by the time we ran out the door and we ran to the jet foil.
