Jay Baruchel and Elisha Cuthbert first worked together when they were just in their early teens.

As co-hosts on Popular Mechanics for Kids, Elisha and Jay would teach fellow youngsters how things worked, from roller coasters to space ships.

Now, almost 20 years later, the two Canadians are working together once again, this time on Goon 2: Last of the Enforcers, the sequel to the 2011 cult-hit hockey comedy, Goon.

“It’s kind of neat to be on set with someone I’ve known since I was 14,”; Jay tells ET Canada from Barrie, Ontario where the cast and crew were shooting a scene for the film. “She kills it in this movie. She does stuff no one’s seen her do, and I have a real strong feeling that she’s going to be one of the more quotable people on this flick.”;

Jay is doing something we haven’t seen him do either- direct. The 33-year-old, who wrote both Goon screenplays and stars in both films, is stepping behind the camera for Goon 2, marking his directorial debut.

“It’s insane. I keep saying the word “director’ should have quotes on either side of it,”; says Jay.

But if his directing is anything like his writing and performance in the first Goon movie, he’s got nothing to worry about. Jay earned a Canadian Screen Award nomination for both efforts and the film opened at number one nationwide, beating out Hollywood-produced films.

“I knew we made a wicked movie, so I was floored but not shocked,”; Jay explains.

And we shouldn’t be shocked by all of the cursing in the R-rated sequel.

“We’re trying to break the record,”; says Jay. “I think on the first one, we’re somewhere between 250 and 300. We’re up there with Scarface and Goodfellas.”;

While Jay tries to go for gold when it comes to foul language, Goon star Seann William Scott is still trying to figure out the whole skating thing.

“I can barely stop while I’m skating,”; Seann admits. “I’m actually a lot better, but that’s not saying much because I was so terrible in the first one.”;

In Goon 2, Doug “The Thug”; Glatt (Scott) and his minor league hockey team, the Halifax Highlanders, play alongside locked out professional players.

“The script was awesome, which you don’t expect for a sequel”; says Seann about signing on for Goon 2. “Even on its own, it was like, “Wow.’ It’s not what people expect.”;

Goon 2: Last of the Enforcers opens in theatres next year.
