When asked if he did any of his own stunts, Muse Watson stated: "I told the guys, "Let's make this real." And they said, "What do you wanna do?" I said, "This whole thing is about my daughter. So could you put some pictures of me and my daughter fishing on the boat?" So they found some pictures of this little girl locally in North Carolina and put them on the boat, and it must have gotten maybe three seconds of airtime. Then we went out to do the fight scene, and they wanted to put the camera at the top of the mast of the ship, and put an accelerator on the mast, and wanted my face to black the camera out, which takes your face really close to the camera, doing 40 miles an hour. They wanted that shot and the stunt guys said, "We can't do it. There's no way we can react and push the button at the right time to stop him two inches from the camera. It's not safe." And the director said, "Come as close as you can." So I took off and that accelerator jerked me up and I raced to the top of the ship, and I was like, "Oh my God." And I got about an inch from the camera and stopped. I heard the stunt coordinator calling at the guy, "What the hell?!" And they said, "Just in case, get medical over here!" And the director said, "That's the shot I wanted!" after that, the stunt guy got in the rig and did the fall. And then they put Watson back in the rig and swung him back and forth across the boat, screaming because they cut his [character's] hand off. Watson stated "I'm screaming and hanging upside down by this rope, and when I get down, Love comes walking over to me to talk, and I look at her, and she starts screaming for the medic. And I said, "Love, what's going on?" And she said, "You can't feel that?" And I said, "No, what is it?" Well, when I was screaming upside down, I busted every blood vessel in my eyeball. [Cackles.] I had to wear sunglasses the rest of the shoot. It didn't hurt but it really made people uneasy."
