Below is Taz Skylar’s explanation of one of the best fight scenes in live-action One Piece.
Taz Skylar shares: “Just when you think, ‘Okay, I get it, I know how to do this,’ they make you wear dress shoes with heels and walk on slippery floors.”
After a brief introduction, he said: “I know Craig, who plays Zeff. This is the first time we cooperate. I have known him for a long time. It was so special to do this with him. Every move was thought up entirely by the stunt team.
And I remember seeing it and saying, ‘Okay, before you worry about this, let’s wait a second and analyze it.’ I thought, ‘The first move is the kick.’ Okay, we practiced that for six months. I can kick in a little…
“Okay, that’s surfing. You can surf. You’ve been surfing since you were little. You can do that a little bit. The next part is a forward somersault, mid-air, and lands with a kick. You’ve jumped out of hundreds of planes the same way. Just like the type of acceleration that flips out of the plane in mid-air is exactly the same. I know how to do all three of these things.
We can do it. Luckily, we were fine. As far as I’m concerned, the entire scene was something the amazing stunt team came up with. Hope everyone thinks it’s as cool as I do. I put a lot of effort into this.”
“The guy who plays Kuroobi, he’s very funny. We had a lot of fun together.”Taz Skylar added.
