it is fantastic. explain the premise because this is very tricky. >> it's better than saying -- some people say it's the funniest film they've seen about jihadi terrorism. and - there's not many. but that's the subject. that's what it's about. it's about omar who is the leader of jihadi group who is stuck really with a bunch of guys who couldn't make a cup of tea without smashing a window. and they set off on their jihadi mission and i would say one by one the wheels start to fall off their wagon. that's the plot. >> jimmy: they're trying to be terrorists. sounds like a three stooges movie about wannabe terrorist. >> but it comes to you -- yeah. no. >> jimmy: in truth that's what this movie is about. it is insane. it's so funny. >> but it comes from real life. you know, i wasn't just thinking "yeah, what's the funniest subject on the planet at the moment, oh, yeah, terrorism." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that wouldn't be the first thing that comes to your mind. >> no, it was third. [ light laughter ] but what struck me is stories from real life where funny things happen where you didn't expect them. the first thing that i noticed was a bunch of yemenis wanted to blow up a u.s. warship by ramming it with an exploding

boat and they assembled on the key side at 3:00 in the morning. they put their launch in the water, filled it with explosives and it sank. and i thought, "okay, who spoke first and what did they say?" >> jimmy: yeah. >> it felt like a cut away or you know a moment in a caper. >> jimmy: there's that one story about the guy who tried to hide a rocket. >> i knew you'd come to that one. okay. the man who turned himself into a human bottle rocket, yeah. you remember the trouble with the ink jets ten days ago, the man that designed that bomb, persuaded his brother to blow himself up on to should we say a saudi prince. he wanted to assassinate a saudi prince. and the bomb mechanism was a large --. so he went in. >> jimmy: he hit it. >> yeah, but he went and they got the explosion dynamics wrong. so, he went in to meet the saudi prince. he said, "hello prince." he pressed the button and fired himself 50 feet through the ceiling. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: that just makes me laugh. i think that's just so funny.

>> then the prince was fine. he was unscathed. >> jimmy: well, this clip from the movie, it's called "four lions" is the name of movie. this clip is called -- it's called i should say -- it's called "brother crow." >> yeah. >> jimmy: and just watch what this guy does. >> i know it's coming as a bit of a shock to you, but everything will be all right. >> yeah. >> you see that er there. that -- that's a sex shop. all right. u.s. embassy. >> all right. wait there. when i say you fly to the target. when i dial this, you go to heaven. you go to crow.
