Screen Rant : I loved this picture show . I dig out it . I think this is the party flick where I ’m like , " I ’m arrange onAmbulance . Everyone seize a beer . "
Michael Bay : Right . Right . Right . Right . No . You should n’t fuddle during this , because if you drink during a movie … When my friends have watched in my cover way , I say , " Do n’t drink before you see it , " because it ’s about intensity .
It ’s great when you ’re in a picture theatre experience , because of the sound . It ’s awe-inspiring in this . I ’ve seen it with handsome audiences , and it ’s very tangible . And you watch 350 masses , and if you watch their body language , manager do that , when they ’re like this , that means they ’re really into it . When they start doing all this and blend in to the bathroom , you know that something ’s go on .
What do you look for in the theater ? Because me , I ’m death gripping the …
Michael Bay : I ’m telling you , here ’s a little trick . When director go pre - screen their movies , we ’re test them , you see what interview feel and whatnot , and I ’ve have the sound matter there , you want to throw up . Every director wants to cast off up the first fourth dimension a vainglorious audience is looking at that matter . And you ’ll see people walking down tardily in the test , and you want to catch them , " No , no , no . Hang on . There ’s a big scene . If you escape this scene , you ’re going to lose the whole thing . "
It ’s vivid likeTransformers . You want me to tell you about that experience ?
Yes , I do .
Michael Bay : Okay . So two houses , 400 people in each house , starting 15 minutes divergence or something like that . I ’m now watching it with a whole bunch of kinfolk and kids , and I ’m like , " Okay , dense automaton movie . Oh , my God . It ’s just a kids ' movie . Oh , humanity . Oh , what did I do ? " It gets a huge score , and it was bare .
Then I go to the next dramatic art , and I ’ve sire the sound affair and there ’s an empty arse and there ’s a hombre , whatever . This is more of the grownup form of way . And I look to the guy wire and I , " Do you like this movie ? " He lead [ meh hand motion ] , and I ’m like , “ Oh , this is horrendous . I just made a horrific movie . ” Whatever . immense matching score , like a 94 . That ’s a spectacular movie score . So anyway , we lucked out on that one .
I was n’t expect the amount of Michael Bay Easter ball in this movie , and I thought that was really fun .
Michael Bay : I did n’t put myself in this movie , but I did put my dog in it . That ’s Nitro , my Mastiff . It was belike one of the tense days because I had 19 instant leave of sun and I had to get my … He ’s 217 pounds . I had to push him in a little teeny Fiat . And he ’s like , “ What are you doing ? I ca n’t meet in here . ”
But the Easter eggs of the movie quotation . I did that just because I think the younger coevals quote my flick , and they bonk it better than me .
One of my favorites - more of an LA Easter egg - is the Call Jacob hoarding because I sense like I see it everywhere . Now I love you ’re squad Jacob and not Sweet James .
Michael Bay : No , we called … What is it ? Call Jacob , the lawyer guy . And he said , " Yeah . you may put it in . " Otherwise , we were going to have to Greek it out .
Oh , you actually called Jacob .
Michael Bay : Yeah . We did . We have to require permit .
One of my favorite cameos that I ’ve always wanted to ask you about : are you inCoyote Uglyfor 10 irregular ?
Michael Bay : Yes !
How did that befall ?
Michael Bay : Jerry Bruckheimer called me . He said , " Would you be in this movie ? " I said , " All justly . I ’m working , but if this director does n’t have his diddlyshit together . It ’s [ got ta ] to be degraded . ” And I get there , and it ’s painstakingly long . And then he had to bring me back the next day . And literally , I ’m like , " You baffle to get me out of here . " But I ’m in that . Yeah .
Do you know the issue of vehicles that you destroyed in this movie ?
Michael Bay : I do n’t , but someone can count . Well , we do have a numeration from my transpo guy wire , but I ’ve definitely probably destroy more vehicles than any other director in story . Just to give an example , I was in a Chinese car factory , and they were so impressed to take me into the guy cable that crashes the mental testing crash dummies and I ’m like , " I am not impressed , dude . Okay ? I ’ve crash more railcar than you ever have in your life . "
