Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Stephen Amell Offers More on Flash Crossover and Big Fight Scene
The crossover between the CW's Arrow and The Flash is still a little ways off, but the anticipation is building for the two-hour event. Oliver Queen himself, Stephen Amell, has been hyping the crossover, and he continued to do so in a recent interview.

So that's crazy and that's us. This was them."
Amell also talked about the special effects and the differences between the two series in that regard. "I actually had to do a move [in the crossover] where I'm going to punch and I had to punch in slow motion and literally do slow motion faces and all that stuff. All the little things are...You can tell that the writers have been waiting for the opportunity to mix these worlds and mix certain characters for a long time."
