But a few were classroom teachers who just didn’t take no mess. I just went over the top with it, because we were having fun with the com- edy. KW: Growing up, was there a spot where kids would settle their diff er- ences aft er school? IC: There wasn’t just one spot. But it had to be out of sight of teachers, like behind a building, which is where most fi ghts took place. There was never one particular area where we always got down. KW: Who came up with the idea of fl ipping the script by having the aft er school fi ght be between two teachers instead of two students? IC: Well, the script was brought to us by [direc- tor] Rich Keen and New Line Cinema. I don’t know exactly who came up with the concept, but that’s what made it fun- ny to me. It’s unusual to have two teachers going at it, instead of two stu- dents. That unique prem- ise was one of the things that hooked me. KW: How did you and Charlie Day go about generating the bul- ly-nerd anti-chemistry that the story called for? How did you know how mean to be without going over the line and ending up looking cruel? IC: It’s a dance. We had a mutual respect for each other’s skills. And when you have that mutual respect, you’re more giv- ing actors. You’ll make sure he shines where he’s supposed to shine, and vice versa. The key is to not get in the way of the character, and to be hon- est and true with it. Still, real personalities creep in every now and then. It’s all about knowing the script, and understand- ing its ebbs and fl ows. So, we worked well togeth- er. I think we’re going to end up doing a few more movies together. KW: Well, you already set up the sequel to “Fist Fight” in the closing scene. IC: Yeah, without a doubt! Without a doubt! KW: You guys had a terrifi c supporting cast: Dennis Haysbert, Dean Norris, Christina Hen- dricks, Kym Whitley, Jillian Bell and Tracy Morgan. Was this Tra- cy’s fi rst fi lm since the ac- cident? I don’t remember seeing him in anything. IC: Yeah, this was his fi rst movie back. It was great to have him. I’d worked with him before in a movie called “First Sunday.” It was cool to see him again, to be able to hang, and to just have him here. That accident it was in was horrible. It was great to have him around again. KW: I’ve interviewed him several times, and he’s one of those rare people who’s just natu- rally funny. IC: Yeah, he doesn’t have to tell a joke. All he has to do is talk. He’s just a funny dude. God bless- es some people with a gift . KW: “Fist Fight” was Richard Keen’s fi rst full- length feature fi lm. It’s pretty impressive con- sidering it was a directo- rial debut. IC: Without a doubt! He did a great job. And he’s the one who really sold me on the movie. He cut together a trailer show- ing what the movie would look like by cutting Char- lie and me into pieces of other movies. That sold me. I said, “Dude, if you make this movie that you’re showing me, then I’m in.” and he defi nitely went above and beyond expectations. KW: He certainly was able to keep it exciting by setting the fi lm in a high school on Senior Prank Day. That way, all sorts of surprises could pop up during lulls in the action. IC: Yeah, it’s cool, be- cause people think it’s just a fi ght, but there are a thousand other things going on. [Chuckles] It’s nice to have a lot of sur- prises in a movie like this. KW: What message do you think people will take away from “Fist Fight”? IC: I think it’s really talking about the school system, and the under- lying problems that the society’s facing when it comes to educating kids. Do we just coddle them or do we really try to hold them accountable for what they learn? KW: What do you think of the Academy Awards nominating a half-dozen black actors aft er none the previous two years? IC: I don’t really know what they’re going through, but I’m pretty sure the nominees de- served it, and that’s all that matters, that our work is recognized. We don’t want any quotas. Just recognize good work. KW: Last year, it was unfortunate that your biopic, “Straight Outta Compton,” was only nom- inated for Best Original Screenplay. And your scriptwriters were all White. IC: It ain’t no thing. At least I don’t make mov- ies for no Oscars. I make movies for the people. KW: Finally, what’s in your wallet? IC: What’s in my wal- let? [LOL] Not too much. An I.D. card. That’s it.
