\n\tAs Reynolds recalls it, the final scene was the story\u2019s emotional climax, where Washington\u2019s character is dying, surrounded by bodies after a violent battle. Reynolds explains, \u201cHe\u2019s been shot, wounded, dying, admits all the stuff that he did wrong. Tears start rolling down his face. And suddenly you hear \u2014 and this is take two, by the way, because take one there was a technical problem \u2014 we hear [Frank Sinatra singing] \u2018Come fly with me, let\u2019s fly, let\u2019s fly away.’\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Sinatra tune happened to be Reynolds\u2019 ringtone at the time, and as the crew and Washington tried to weed out the culprit for ruining the take, Reynolds recalls playing dumb and joining in. \u201cI stand up and look at all the stuntmen around me, and I go, \u2018Who the fuck\u2019s phone is that? Inexcusable!’\u201d he admits.<\/p>\n
\n\tReynolds says that the Assistant Director eventually realized that Reynolds was responsible, but advised him to remain discreet. \u201cHe was like, \u2018D, can you do another one?\u2019 And [Washington] was like, \u2018We\u2019re going to have to, aren\u2019t we?’\u201d Reynolds remembers, \u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018Yes, [because of] the stunt men!\u2019 Inexcusable!\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tThe actor remembers the event with due humility, saying, \u201cDumb-dumb is sitting on his phone. I\u2019m dumb-dumb in this story. And I can feel everybody looking around like, \u2018What the fuck is happening right now?\u2019 I can see Denzel with a tear in his eye.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tDespite the on-set mishap, \u201cSafe House\u201d grossed $208 million at the box office on a relatively small budget, becoming a sleeper hit for Universal Pictures in the first quarter of 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
