Transcript
I always sort of tend to pick up a bit of an injury when I
do these films, they're very physical.
We really just beat the hell out of each other for weeks.
I smacked Dave on the nose and he bust my knee so
we're kind of even.
He punched me square on the nose.
(laughs)
And I never went to get an x-ray but I'm pretty sure
he fractured my nose.
Just had a lot of bumps and bruises.
It was a very complicated fight sequence.
He tore something in his knee.
We stopped filming for two weeks and I went and
had some surgery.
I think we got a very good surgeon and he mended me,
patched me up and I carried on.
Starring: Daniel Craig, Dave Bautista
