John Malkovich explaining how filming Con Air with a crew of criminals and athletes led to the most chaotic safety meeting in Hollywood history John Malkovich: So, I'd never been around that kind of group of men like that, and some of them are convicts, some of them were the lightweight boxing champions of San Quentin prison, some of them were professional football players, professional hockey enforcers So, it was really like I'd never done something with a group of people that you wouldn't let outside of your they could be in your yard in theory, but not really in your house So, it was just for me it was hilarious, I loved it And that scene, I believe, is from the scene where we had a big safety meeting, and uh Andy Samberg, the American actor and comedian who spent years at Saturday Night Live and did great music videos such as Jizz in My Pants, he did one of near touching, and Dick in a Box, of course, we shouldn't forget all that He did one called Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions, and which featured this explosion in Con Air.  Graham Norton: Oh, there you are.  John Malkovich: And see, you can't look back; they can look back because they're not cool, but I can't look back.
