it takes a lot of effort to move all the equipment across the sand


there is only one place for all the trash and don't forget to squish your water bottle!

Thanks to @JohnCusack for letting us know that Jackie is a "completely awesome human -huge heart full of mischief and the hardest worker I've ever met -!" And that he has two fight scenes with Jackie.

Thanks to @CenturyMartialArts for the information that Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is the stunt choreographer for Dragon Blade. In case you were wondering how John Cusack managed the fight scenes with Jackie - he is a black belt, having studied under Benny for many years.
