Will Ferrell is famous for his silly pratfalls in such films as Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy and The Other Guys.

The 46-year-old funny man put that unique talent to good use once again as he shot a very active sequence for his new movie Get Hard on Tuesday before dawn.

A broad green field in Los Angeles provided the set and what an obstacle course it was as cameras captured Will running, jumping and leaping as mayhem exploded all around him.

Watch your step: Will Ferrell broke into a meandering run while filming a funny obstacle course scene for his forthcoming comedy Get Hard in LA on Tuesday

High-tech wizardry, of course, provided the exploding 'land mines' that spewed fire seemingly aimed at Ferrell as cast and crew worked together.

Lawn blowers sent sprays of grass and other debris his way.

The actor made funny faces and gestured wildly with his arms as he busted loose and pretended to narrowly miss the fire bombs.

Rise and shine: Will shot the action-packed sequence during the early morning hours on Tuesday when it was still dark

In the movie, Ferrell plays millionaire James King whose business shenanigans result in a fraud conviction and a sentence at San Quentin.

Before King goes to prison, he turns to car wash owner Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) to help him 'get hard' for life behind bars.

Alison Brie, who is best known for her roles in Community and Mad Men, co-stars as Ferrell's fiancée.

Get ready: Get Hard also stars Alison Brie as Will's fiancée and bows in US theatres on March 27

Although the film initially wrapped in mid-May, Will and crew were brought back together to shoot this new exciting scene.

Etan Cohen, who is directing the movie based on his script, must have been glad to see his old cronies once again.

The director tweeted on May 14 how he was going to miss everybody.

'Day 44: our last day of shooting #GetHard,' Cohen wrote, adding: 'Excited but bittersweet to say good bye to so many great talented people.'

I have tried to see what people like about him but I just find him unfunny in almost everything. He was Ok in Stranger than Fiction but anything else -meh!
