![]() ![]() A lot of - we filmed the majority of the movie in Atlanta, you know, and around Georgia.ĪNDRE: So there's just a lot of Black people in Atlanta. SANDERS: On top of, like, the team doing these pranks being Black and brown, I noticed a lot of the, like, civilians and bystanders involved and on the sidelines and wrapped up in these pranks, they're also people of color.ĪNDRE: Not directly intentional. HADDISH: (As Trina Malone) Thank you for helping me escape.ĪNDRE: Hidden camera means hidden crew, so we kind of, like, isolated that guy without his knowledge so that Tiffany would be safe in the orange jumpsuit. HADDISH: (As Trina Malone) You my lookout. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (As self) I can't give you my vest. HADDISH: (As Trina Malone) Can I borrow your vest? UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (As self) Get those clothes off, and get the out of here. And I'm going to just start all over, man. TIFFANY HADDISH: (As Trina Malone) Man, I'm going to get my car, and I'm going to go to Mexico. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (As self) Better take your ass off. We, like, kind of trapped that, unbeknownst to him. But you know what? That was a very contained - like, except for the graffiti removal guy, we locked down the street for her own safety.ĪNDRE: So we weren't letting, like, pedestrians on that street. So there was things like that where it was like - I mean, we had Tiffany in an orange jumpsuit. And I was just like thinking like, yeah, if me and Rel did that, we'd be dead. And he was like, can you saw these handcuffs off of me? What do you got? And cops came and, like, almost arrested him. Knoxville had a prank that he did back in the day in "Jackass" where he was in an orange prison jumpsuit with handcuffs and legcuffs, and he went into a hardware store. Do you think it was riskier doing the pranks that you're doing with a team of people of color as opposed to, like, literally Johnny Knoxville and the white folks doing it?ĪNDRE: Yeah. And they'd be like, huh? And I'd go popcorn. So I'd be yelling at security, goose bumps, goose bumps, goose bumps. My mind just rerecorded goose bumps over popcorn. ![]() And my safe word was popcorn, but I kept forgetting my safe word in those violent moments.ĪNDRE: I kept saying goose bumps for some reason. We did have a security guard during that, but we leveled it up a lot after that.ĪNDRE. Y'all are Black people out in the world doing this stuff.ĪNDRE: (Laughter) We - after the knife incident, we beefed up our security. Did you have to have any extra safety precautions around the potential for those things? Because you - y'all aren't Johnny Knoxville. ![]() SANDERS: So talking about these pranks were knives are pulled, et cetera.

Were you ever scared for your safety? Yes, Eric Andre was, especially after someone pulled a knife on him during filming. How do you lure unsuspecting people into the prank? Free food usually works. How do you hide the cameras? Apparently in coffee cups. SAM SANDERS, BYLINE: I spent a whole lot of time talking with Eric Andre about the nuts and bolts of making a prank film.
