Comedian BertKreischer explains how he prepared for TheMachine's action scenes as well as for his acting-as-himself debut:
Comedian Bert Kreischer transitions to the big screen with The Machine, a film inspired by the legendary stand-up routine recounting his brief involvement with Russian gangsters. For those unaware, the extremely short version of the story is that, while on a college field trip with his Russian language class, young Bert partied with a gaggle of Russian thugs.

I was like, "I could watch this! If I ever get paralyzed, play this on a loop, it's all I want to see!" Screen Rant: I imagine there's a fire under your ass at all times, where, if you don't knock it out the park, Tom's never gonna let you hear the end of it.
Bert Kreischer: No, we got on a Zoom, a casting Zoom, and Mary Parent just leaned into the camera, while we were talking about who's going to play the dad, and Mary Parent leans in and goes, "Your dad is going to be played by Mark Hamill. I set up a Zoom for tomorrow at 3:00 PM, I hope you guys enjoy each other." And I was like, "How the fu*k did you get Mark Hamill? How the...
