Hollywood has a long list of action stars who have done some extraordinary and incredible stunts and action sequences in their films. Jason Statham is also a name on the list, and with his athletic background, he has taken his audiences on thrill rides in multiple films. However, some of the stunts do not seem as enjoyable for the actor as they are for the audience on the screen.

Statham, who has featured in several action thrillers, has performed countless stunts in his films. However, despite years of experience, things can go wrong sometimes. And the Crank star has shared one such stunt that could have gone quite differently from what was planned, leading him to decide never to do it again.

The Stunt Jason Statham Doesn’t Plan on Doing Again

Popular for starring in Crank, The Transporter trilogy, The Expendables, and many other action movies, Jason Statham has established himself among the best action stars in Hollywood. The film to establish him as an action star is believed to be his 2002 action thriller, The Transporter.

The series follows Frank Martin, an ex-soldier turned mercenary transporter. Statham portrayed the character in three Transporter films before Camille Delamarre’s 2015 film replaced him with the British actor Ed Skrein. And it was while filming the 2005 sequel of the film that the actor came across a stunt that he doesn’t plan on doing, ever again.

During an interview with Collider, the Hobbs and Shaw star shared that one of the stuns in Louis Leterrier’s Transporter 2 required him to jump from a ski on a bus. “I did a little jump in the Transporter 2 or a jump from the back of a jet ski onto the back of a bus.”

However, the actor shared that things would not have been good for him if the stunt did not go as planned. He shared that “it wasn’t a very safe stunt.” He further mentioned that there was no safety wire on him while doing the sequence and that he shouldn’t have done it.

Jason Statham Shares His Most Dangerous Stunts

Jason Statham has been featured in multiple action movies and is set to reprise his character in the fourth installment of The Expendables franchise. During his interview with Collider, the actor was asked about some of his “pretty dangerous” stunts. Answering the question, he named the films that featured some of his most dangerous stunts, which included Crank, Transporter 2, and The Mechanic.

“I think when we shot Crank, we were hanging out of a real helicopter,” he shared. Statham also stated that recent action films have opted for the use of green screens for such sequences. However, while filming the 2006 film, they had to film the stunt on a real helicopter.

He said it was pretty tricky, and called it a real stunt. He also shared that he injured his neck while filming an action sequence for The Mechanic. The Fast & Furious star also shared that doing these stunts has not only left him with many injuries but has also taken a toll on him.
