“Of course Zohan can do it all—not only running, fighting gloriously, or swimming…he can simply do everything,” according to the film’s stunt director John Rogers. “Depending on the circumstances, we sought out the best talent for the specific situation. We engaged free runners who can jump from building to building. We had gymnasts portraying some of the scenes on the chair(s). We engaged professional dancers for the disco-scenes and swimmers for the sequences in the water; and those were only a handful of stunt performers. I have never seen one actor have that many doubles for his role. It is almost ridiculous, but also great fun.”
