Sandler decided to do most of his own stunts including surfing on top of a taxi in New York City at 20 miles an hour

However, he has dreams of becoming a hair stylist rather than fighting Palestinians, specifically his enemy 'The Phantom'.

Zohan then fakes his own death so that he can disappear to New York City and pursue his dream.

The movie is co-written by Sandler, director Judd Apatow and Saturday Night Live's Robert Smigel.
