The Bill & Ted talk starts at around 8:30 in the video. Weird that my first comment was removed...

EDIT: Weird that this informative comment is considered "controversial"

YOU-- YOU-- YOU SAY YOU DON'T DO YOUR STUNTS, BUT DO YOU YOUR ACTION. >> I DO ACTION, YEAH. >> Stephen: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN "DO YOUR ACTION" AS OPPOSED TO YOUR STUNT? >> OKAY SO I'LL DO SOME FIGHT SCENES, AND THEN JOHN WICK WILL GET HIT BY A CAR, AND THAT'S JACKSON SPIDEL-- >> Stephen: THAT'S YOUR STUNT MAN. >> YES, WHO IS AN AMAZING STUNT MAN. AND HE GETS HIT BY THE CAR. THEN I'LL GET UP FROM THE CAR, AND THEN I'LL DO A WHOLE BUNCH MORE OF, LIKE, ARE KUNG FU AND WHATEVER AND JUDO. AND THEN MAYBE, YOU KNOW, THEN IF I GET THROWN OFF OF SOMETHING, THEN JACKSON DOES HIS THING. >> Stephen: RIGHT. >> BUT IN THE FILM -- >> Stephen: BUT YOU COULD IF YOU WANTED TO, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE HIS JOB AWAY. >> I COULD GET HIT BY A CAR BUT, YOU KNOW, HOSPITAL. <i> ( LAUGHTER ).</i> >> Stephen: OH, YOU COULD GET HIT BY A CAR ONCE, LAST FILM. >> THAT'S IT. >> Stephen: YES. >> BUT JACKSON IS A PROFESSIONAL, AND HE KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT AND-- BUT, I MEAN, FOR JOHN WICK ACTION IS A PARTICULAR KIND OF ACTION. THE DIRECTOR WANTS TO MAKE IT IMMERSIVE AND WANTS TO MAKE IT LUKE A PERFORMANCE, SO IT'S REALLY LONG TAKES. SO WE-- YOU KNOW, YOU TRAIN FOR A WHILE. >> Stephen: WHAT I LOVE IS YOU SEE THE FIGHT HAPPENING. >> YEAH, EXACTLY. >> Stephen: IT'S LIKE WATCHING DANCE. >> YEAH, IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE THAT. THE DIRECTOR HAS A VISION, THEN THERE'S SOME CHOREOGRAPHY MOST OF THE TIME. AND THEN-- AND THEN WE GO, WE REHEARSE AND THEN WE PERFORM. >> Stephen: A SINGLE FIGHT, LET'S SAY ONE FIVE-MINUTE FIGHT, YOU MIGHT DO, HOW LONG ARE YOU TRAINING FOR THAT FIGHT? >> WELL, IT DEPENDS. SO THEY DON'T-- OKAY SO, THERE'S A COUPLE FIGHTS WHERE WE TRAINED A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENS IS FOR ME, THEY GET-- I GET BASICALLY LIKE A JOHN WICK TOOLBOX SO I'LL KNOW HOWEVER MANY JUDO THROWS. THEY'LL CHOREOGRAPH MOST OF THE JUJITSU. WITH THE HORSE, THERE'S A HORSE FIGHT NOW. SO I HAVE TO DO SOME -- >> Stephen: YOU FIGHT A HORSE. >> I HAD TO GET OFF THE SADDLE. NO, I'M ON THE HORSE AND THEN -- >> Stephen: THE HORSE IS FIGHTING. THE HORSE IS FIGHTING. >> IT'S JOHN WICK. IT'S LIKE, INSTEAD OF JUST RIDING THE HORSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GUN FIGHT AND DO ALL OF THAT SORT OF STUFF. >> Stephen: WHAT IS IT LIKE TO FIGHT ON A HORSE? >> IT'S FUN. <i> ( LAUGHTER ).</i> >> Stephen: DOES THAT MAKE YOU NERVOUS AT ALL? >> NO! IT'S A MOVIE! IT'S FUN! >> Stephen: BUT THE HORSE IS REAL. YOU COULD GETUE COULD GET THROWN AND TRAMPLED. >> YEAH, YOU CAN DIE. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i> BUT THE THING IS-- BUT THE THING IS, I MEAN -- >> Stephen: I WASN'T GOING TO GO THAT FAR, BUT THAT'S TRUE. >> THAT'S WHAT CAN HAPPEN. BUT THEY HAVE A SAFETY SYSTEM SO THEY CREATED THIS RIG, WITH THE HORSE BEHIND A TRUCK AND THE THING -- >> Stephen: THEY STRAP THE HORSE BEHIND A TRUCK. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? >> WELL KIND-- IT'S VERY COMPLICATED. BUT ANYWAY, YOU WON'T SEE THAT IN THE MOVIE. I'LL JUST BE RIDING, AND IT WILL LOOK-- HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL ENJOY IT, BUT--<i> ( APPLAUSE )</i> <i> ( CHEERS )</i> BUT IT'S JOHN WICK! >> Stephen: I THINK WE HAVE-- I THINK WE HAVE AN IMAGE-- I THINK WE HAVE AN IMAGE. IS THIS THE HORSE THING? >> YEAH, YEAH, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST RIDING. >> Stephen: THAT'S JUST RIDING, OKAY. >> THAT'S JUST RIDING. THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS. >> Stephen: DID YOU KNOW HOW TO RIDE BEFORE THIS? >> YEAH, A LITTLE BIT. A LITTLE BIT. >> Stephen: HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED A COWBOY? >> NO. >> Stephen: OKAY. >> YEAH. I'D LIKE TO. A WESTERN WOULD BE FUN. >> Stephen: SURE. >> BUT WITH THIS IT WAS JUST-- YOU KNOW, I WORKED WITH A SECOND-GENERATION HORSE MASTER TAD GRIFFITH AND HIS FAMILY. YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY WHAT HAPPENS A LOT WITH JOHN WICK IS YOU GET TO MEET THESE GREAT INSTRUCTORS AND TEACHERS. HEAL BERRY WORKED ON THE FILM. SHE WAS GREAT, AND SHE WENT INTO JOHN WICK ACTION. SHE WORKED WITH TWO BELGIAN DOGS. HER CHARACTER HAS DOGS. AND SHE TRAINED WITH THEM FOR OVER -- >> Stephen: THAT'S THIS. >> THAT'S THE SHOT. SHE HAD TO DO SOME JOHN WICK ACTION. WHICH THEN SHE TRAINED FOR ABOUT-- OVER SIX MONTHS. >> Stephen: SO YOU'RE WORKING WITH HORSES. YOU'RE WORKING WITH DOGS. IS IT HARD TO WORK WITH THE ANIMALS ON SET? >> NO, AS LONG AS YOU BUILD, "LIKE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. >> Stephen: WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THESE DOGS? <i> ( LAUGHTER ).</i> >> I DIDN'T DO THE HALLE BERRY SIX-MONTH TRAINING BECAUSE THEY WERE HER DOGS. OKAY, AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE FIRST DAY THAT I WENT TO TRAIN WITH HEAL WHO HAD BEEN TRAINING WITH WONDERFUL DOGS, THE TRAINER SAID, "SO HALLEY'S GOING TO STAND THERE. THERE SHE IS AND THERE ARE HER TWO DOGS. YOU'RE GOING TO WALK UP TO THEM. DON'T LOOK AT THEM. DON'T LOOK AT THEM IN THE EYE." >> Stephen: WHY. >> BECAUSE THEY'LL-- THEY-- THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING NOT GOOD. NOW, THESE ANIMALS ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND FRIENDLY AND AWESOME -- >> Stephen: AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOOK AT THEM. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i> THAT SOUNDS REALLY DANGEROUS. DID YOU GO, "YOU KNOW, NO MORE 'JOHN WICK' MOVIES IF THAT DOG TAKES MY FACE OFF." >> NO, YOU JUST HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION. AND EVENTUALLY I GOT TO KNOW THEM BETTER AND HE STILL TOLD ME NOT TO LOOK AT THEM. HALE WORKED SO MUCH THE TRAINER TOLD ME-- HALE BY THE END WAS HELLO. AND GIVING COMMANDS. AND IF YOU SEE THE FILM, IT'S PRETTY SPECTACULAR WHAT THEY DO TOGETHER. >> Stephen: DID THE HORSE EVER GET SPOOKED BY THE DOGS OR, LIKE -- >> NO, THEY NEVER MET EACH OTHER. >> Stephen: OKAY. >> NO. BUT DOG THEY HAD IN "JOHN WICK" ESCAPED ONCE IN TIMES SQUARE AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING ASK WENT AFTER ONE THOSE OF HORSES WITH THE CARTS. >> Stephen: THE FIRST DOG-- >> I MEAN, IT DIDN'T GO AFTER IT. WE WERE DOING A SCENE, AND THEN THE HORSE AND THE THING, AND THE DOG WENT, "OH!" AND IT DID A DOG THING. IT WENT AFTER THE-- OH, YEAH, AND THEN THERE WAS-- WHEN WE WERE IN MOROK OH, YEAH, THERE WERE THE DOGS AND A LOT OF CATS. SO WE HAD, LIKE, CAT CHAOS. >> Stephen: ARE THESE TRAINED CATS OR WILD CATS? >> THESE ARE WILD CATS WITH THE DOGS. SO THEN WE WOULD BE DOING A SCENE AND, "CAT! CAT! CAT!" AND THE DOGS WERE JUST LIKE BUT THE THING IS WITH THE DOGS, YOU CAN'T JUST GRAB THE DOG BECAUSE IF YOU -- >> Stephen: RIGHT, BECAUSE... EXACTLY. YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY MAKE EYE CONTACT. YES, UH-HUH. >> EXCITING TIMES. >> Stephen: YEAH. WE HAVE A CLIP HERE. THIS IS NOT THE HORSE? WHAT IS THIS? THIS IS THE MOTORCYCLE. >> YES. >> Stephen: THIS IS THE MOTORCYCLE. WHAT'S GOG HERE? >> WE WANTED TO OPEN UP THE JOHN WICK ACTION IN THE FILM. WE HAD SOME HORSES AND SOME DOGS. AND NOW THE DIRECTOR HAD THE IDEA OF NINJAS AND A MOTORCYCLE FIGHT. >> Stephen: SURE, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S A NATURAL. >> IT'S JOHN WICK, BABY! >> Stephen: COME ON. JIM. WICK IT. <i> ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )</i> >> IT'S FUN. IT'S FUN! >> Stephen: WELL, YOUR FANS ARE PRETTY DARN EXCITED ABOUT A RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT. YOU'RE REPRIZING ANOTHER CLASSIC ROLE FROM YOUR PAST. YOU AND YOUR FRIEND ALEX WINTER ANNOUNCED THAT-- <i> ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )</i> BILL AND TED ARE COMING BACK. ANYTHING WE CAN KNOW ABOUT-- WHAT ARE THEY-- WHAT ARE THEY DEALING WITH IN THIS ONE? YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT. >> SURE, RIGHT NOW IT'S CALLED "BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC." AND WE'RE FINDING THEM HOWEVER MANY YEARS LATER-- I THINK IT'S OVER 25. AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO WRITE THE SONG THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO UNITE THE WORLD AND BRING PEACE AND EVERYTHING, BUT THEY HAVEN'T. AND SO WHAT HAS THAT DONE TO THEM? >> Stephen: A LOT OF PRESSURE. >> IT'S A -- >> Stephen: LOT OF PRESSURE. >> PRESSURE. AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR FAMILY NOW, BUT YOU'RE STILL TRYING TO WRITE THE SONG BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD! BUT THEN THE FUTURE COMES DOWN AND SAYS, "WELL, NO, YOU DON'T REALLY JUST HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD. YOU HAVE TO SAEFORT UNIVERSE, AND YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE SONG IN, LIKE, 80 MINUTES." >> Stephen: WOW. >> THIES PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T WRITTEN A SONG IN OVER 25 YEARS, SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? >> Stephen: WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU IF YOU DON'T THIS DO THIS? >> IT'S THE END OF THE UNIVERSE AND TIME AND SPACE. >> Stephen: YOU'RE FACING YOUR MORTALITY AND ALL OF EXISTENCE? >> YEAH. >> Stephen: WOW.
