Can’t stop, won’t stop with the oral histories of things. Anchorman fight scene:
Rebenkoff: Some of it was stupid stuff, like a baseball bat with a nail sticking out of it. Another was just a board with a circular saw. The actors came, and they said [in a discerning tone] “I’ll take that one,” like they were really going to go into battle.
This is just great.
