: This is actually a two-part question:

: --Are multiple film crews usually only a luxury of generously-budgeted productions?

"...all that action we were shooting, most of it would've been our second-unit. I don't know who came up with that idea. That's the fun stuff. I would've been stuck just doing the dialogue."
--Robert Rodriguez, "Desperado" laserdisc commentary track

: --The reason that I bring it up is that the exploding car (to say nothing of the long shots at the Bluntman & Chronic premiere) seem to be the first time that scenes from a ViewAskew movie would be shot by a second unit.
: If I'm wrong about that...well, how did feel to frame and shoot your first car explosion. Starting to get in touch with your own inner-Michael Bay?
