Seriously though Hugh, as the safety guy did they come up to you with some stunts to where you thought "Are you guys out of your effin' mind!". I mean, there have to have been some ideas you had to tone down or flat out refuse to be performed.

You should see the "treatments" we wouldn't let them do.
Johnny wanted to have someone pull a small tattoo on his forearm up with a pair of pliers and shoot it off with a 9mm.
They wanted to strip Johnny naked and spray him with the urine of a female deer in heat and put him a paddock with a couple of male bucks and "see what happens". I said what about the razor sharp hooves and antlers? I got a blank look. I said what are you going to do if one of the bucks "plugs in". Johnny said "By God, that camera better be rolling".
They wanted to go to a zoo and try and shove one of their heads up the butt of an elephant. I told them I'm pretty sure a zoo won't go for that.
When he got shot with the riot-control bean bag, Johnny wanted to take it directly in the chest. The mfgr. said no, it had a high probability of killing him. We put on a Kevlar vest and a cup on his junk. Regardless of how he felt after getting hit, he went in for an MRI. He thought he could take two beanbags, after getting hit, he only wanted one.
At the end of the movie one of them is giving another a tattoo in the back of a Hummer (IIRC) on a really bumpy road. We made him become a CA licensed tattoo artist before he could do it (not a lot of work to get the license). You may recall that the guy giving the tattoo had latex gloves on.
The crash of the golf cart should have killed Johnny, he wasn't supposed to do that and just did it in the moment. I think in the film you can hear me say "What the fcuk!!!).
The bottle rockets were in Japan, they didn't want to take me, it was another spur of the moment thing, they were really drunk.
