This finale moment was a wild one and the fire burn you see here was performed by my stunt double Christopher Parker, who brought real dedication to every beat of this stunt. I am thankful for him and for the entire Tulsa King family. Cast, crew and fans. You made this one very special. #TulsaKing #behindthescene #stuntdouble @TulsaKing
