"I asked Quentin Tarantino about the prep they did for 'Kill Bill' and he said[we'd need a minimum of eight weeks prep for the actors," Wright told MTV News. "In Toronto, we had a boot camp with all of us. I would do it as well to show solidarity and also to make sure nobody skipped. We would be there at 8 in the morning every morning with the stunt team, part of Jackie Chan's fight school."

"There was myself, Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Jason Schwartzman, and even people who weren't involved in the fight scenes," he went on to reveal. "Kieran Culkin doesn't have a fight scene, but he would feel like he was missing out on the fun."

"Pretty much all of the cast, even those who weren't doing fight scenes," he added before going to describe some of the specifics including, "two hours training in the morning with a fight instructor, and pilates, and a lot of push-ups. Surprisingly or not, the trainer gave everyone nicknames, and Cera became 'Mikey the Push-Up King!"
