Tamburello stars in the action-adventure/thriller as Sanger Rainsford, a veteran who has recently returned from World War II.
When he and his father get shipwrecked, they’re taken in by the island’s only inhabitant.
The film is an action-packed thriller with plenty of chases and fight scenes throughout.
Working through those sequences reminded Tamburello of some of the challenges on the MTV show.
“Falling and getting tossed around was the easy part for me.”
Tamburello joked that the plot reminded him of “The Challenge” as well.
“I was like a big, giant kid, running through the mud,” he said.
“But the way I was going about it was, I guess, too aggressive …
I had to tone it down.”
Tamburello shared one specific memory about that from behind the scenes.
They filmed the scene multiple times, and each time he did that stunt, his pants ripped.
“It got to the point where they were like, ‘Okay, enough’s enough.
Maybe not go too hard, okay?
