And whoever put this clip together took out some of the best parts. The shot where he's trying to convince his boss to cut those guys a break because he really is a fan and doesn't want to hurt them. The aftermath of the adrenaline dump where he's trying to list ingredients of a recipe in his cookbook, 😂. Criminally underrated film. I'd love to know why they didn't do a sequel.
