Does Country Fried have any MTV’s Nitro Circus footage in it?
It probably has about ten seconds of footage in it. We just used a little bit and that’s it. Everything else is original and shot for this movie. Have you been on board with Greg Godfrey since the beginning of the whole thing? Oh yeah, in fact Greg came up with the name “Nitro” and I threw out the word “Circus.” I’ve been here from the beginning. Okay, let me ask you this then – Has there ever been a stunt that maybe went too far or had you thinking that you needed to stop filming? Well, as a producer/director type, it’s a super fine line because number one, you don’t want to kill anyone. None of us are in this thing to die, not even Travis, despite what some people think. That would ruin this whole thing for us. You also don’t want to try to stop these guys, as they’re going to do what they want to do and you don’t want to go in there and put the brakes on it on something that they’re going to do anyway. That just slows momentum and induces doubt which brings into question the success
