How Much of Netflix’s Bad Trip Is Scripted? The Answer Is Surprising

If you can’t go on a road trip yourself right now, then the next best thing you can do is watch Netflix’s new hidden-camera comedy flick, Bad Trip. Starring Eric Andre, Lil Rel Howery, and Tiffany Haddish, Bad Trip follows two friends on a prank-filled road trip to New York, and though it’s undeniably hilarious, it’s unclear how much of the movie is scripted and how much is actually real. But just like Borat, Bad Grandpa, and other unscripted comedy prank films, the pranks and the reactions are all very real – so real, in fact, that Howery feared for his life at one point and almost quit the movie.

During an interview with USA Today, Andre discussed that scene where Chris and Bud pretend they’re bound together by a Chinese finger trap – but of course, it’s not their fingers that are stuck. The two men go to an Atlanta barbershop looking for a pair of scissors, and an unamused barber ends up pulling out a knife on the actors. That whole scene? Completely real. “Part of my brain was like, ‘Wow, I could die right now,’” Andre recounted. “Another part of my brain goes, ‘This is going to be great footage.’ I felt the movie needed a couple of death-defying scenes to give it real stakes. To make it feel raw and intense.” According to Andre, his costar was more than a little freaked by the whole incident. “He walked from the movie,” Andre continued. “We had to seduce him back.”

Though the knife-brandishing barber presented a real threat, director Kitao Sakurai took precautions to make the filming process as risk-free as possible. “It’s such a stressful process because it’s the real world,” Sakurai told USA Today. “The benefits of doing something like this are also the dangers of it. Things are unpredictable. You’re working in a crowd with people that don’t even know they’re on camera. Really anything can happen.” To lessen the threat, Sakurai put together a team headed by ex-law enforcement officials to vet potential prank victims, and they had a stunt coordinator on set who previously worked on Jackass and Punk’d. Andre also had a safe word (“popcorn”), which he unfortunately forgot at one point during a heated bar altercation. Luckily, his security team eventually figured out he was in trouble.

The pranks are real, the threats are real, and all those reactions you see from other people are just as real. As Andre explained to Decider, “Our whole thing is that there’s not a single fake reaction in the movie. We never had people pretend they were in shock or anything. We had like an ethos about it. Because even if there’s one fake reaction in the movie, it jeopardizes all the rest of them . . . We go to these great lengths because we want every single reaction to be authentic. You feel the authenticity and the reactions.”
