“They had these water cannons,” Balfe told EW. “I think each of them held a couple gallons of water.”

“Plus there was a side cannon,” added Heughan. “It was like a ton of water that dropped on us. And there are two wind machines with V-8 engines.”

“It was quite intense,” continued Balfe. “We took about three days to film that. There’s so much water and everything. When we were actually in it, none of us could hear a thing. We were sort of supposed to shout at each other and do lines and you can barely breathe. But it was a really cool and extravagant setup. It was very ambitious. I think we were all just really excited to be able to do something that was on such a large scale.”
