"We tried to assemble the best team we could to make this movie funny," Willis said. Director Howard Deutsch, famous for "The Great Outdoors" and "Pretty in Pink," and writer George Gallo, who wrote "Midnight Run," joined the old crew. Interestingly enough, the movie has a new director and writer. It was fun to kind of reload that and try and beat the first film, and try and be funnier and try and be more interesting, and have the film stand alone as an individual movie, if you hadn't seen the first film." We know each other better, we learned so much about each other's comic timing on the first film. "There are things that just happened on the set, accidentally, that are funny. "We improvised a bunch of stuff in rehearsal, but it was always worked out after that," Willis said. Some of the sequel is improvised, which requires comedic talent, anticipation and understanding of the other actors. Evident in the first movie was Perry's flair for physical humor, which he also brings to the sequel.
The two did not really know each other before they met on the set of the first film, and they did not anticipate how well their comedic styles would compliment and further each other's.Įach has a genuine mutual respect for the comedic aptitude of the other. "We've got good chemistry between us, and I say that - and I'm as straight as they come - but I do have good chemistry with Mr. "Bruce and I just got lucky," Perry said. Fortunately they are friends both on and off the set. The success of the first movie relied on the relationship between Oz and Jimmy, and thus Perry and Willis. Willis and Perry began to think about where the story of Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Willis) and Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky (Perry) would go after the movie ended. The idea began among the actors at a press junket for the first film.
The two actors are reuniting after the success of "The Whole Nine Yards" in 2000. "There were very few rules about what these characters could do, and do to each other, and we just kind of went a little cuckoo." "We tried as hard as we could to just be goofy," Willis said in a phone interview.
