With his martial arts skills and scuba diving skills, Jason Statham has become one of the best action movie actors in the contemporary screen. Every movie he plays makes the audience’s heart flutter because of his extraordinary “hands-on” and quick improvisation.
Jason Statham is an actor known for his martial arts skills and often performs beautiful duels by himself without a stunt double. With his outstanding physique and experience in martial arts, the actor is famous for his close combat phases that require high accuracy. Tired of fighting the villains, this year Jason decided to challenge the shark Megalodon in The Meg.
Whether in the sea or on land, Jason Statham has excellent action scenes. Everyone is wondering, on land you have done a lot of action, in the sea you also fight with sharks, so when will you fight in space? Before that day comes, let’s take a look at these 7 action moments branded as “silver heroes”!
1. Facing Sharks in The Meg
When fighting sharks, Jason’s character Jonas Taylor bets his life, being eaten or falling to nothing before the aggressive and voracious shark. Viewers of the movie many times howled because they thought Jason would be grabbed, but thanks to his swimming speed and intelligence, he escaped from the mouth of the prehistoric shark.
Not only diving into the submarine “stubborn” with the ancient monster, Jonas also dared to plunge into the water without protection. As a result, he was closely pursued by the megalodon and was only able to escape with a single throw on the ship right in front of the shark’s nose. Don’t imitate Jason Statham, guys.
2. Escape from a house surrounded by assassins in Transpoter 1 (Transporter 1, 2002)
Jason Statham became famous after the action series Transpoter when he played Frank Martin – a freighter. The most surprising scene in the movie may be when Frank and Lai (played by Shu Qi) are talking in the house when they launch the missile straight ahead and explode. Not only trying to escape from the burning house, but Frank and Lai also have to avoid the bullets of the assassins outside the door. Alternately, the two timed their jumps into the sea before being burned to death along with Frank’s house.
3. The racing scene in Transpoter 2 (Transporter part 2, 2005)
There are many action movies that have scenes of chasing each other on the highway, but this time Jason also had to race when carrying a boy and a female assassin. In order to cut the back of the police car Jason had to wriggle through different roads, the car raced from building to building and stopped near the threshold of a high-rise room.
4. One-on-one in Transpoter 3 (Transporter part 3, 2008)
People often say two-on-one is lame, but Frank is alone but has to fight a group of men sent by Johnson. These people are not average, they are all gangsters, tall, black, and muscular. It’s so big, but it doesn’t matter to Jason, after a few minutes of fighting he has defeated them all.
The battle is only really tough when Jason has to fight the big guy, who when confronted with him looks like a much smaller Jason. This time he couldn’t just use his strength, but also brainstorm. While fighting him in a duel and concentrating on his thoughts, he finally took down that stupid giant with… a shovel.
5. Chase the moving train in Transpoter 3
Frank rammed his car onto the roof of the train carriage, this seemingly insane act is a fascinating scene in the movie. He then jumped inside the ship through the window and tried to dodge the kidnappers’ bombs. After dealing with the small juniors, he switched to hand-to-hand combat with Johnson. Frank and Johnson were both determined to live a life in the cramped cabin. And then Johnson was eventually blown up with the wagon, ending the “Just Pretty” Transporter trilogy.
5. Hanging in the air in The Mechanic (Mechanical Assassin, 2016)
Jason plays Arthur Bishop, a professional assassin who wants to kill Adrian Cook, a scoundrel who got rich by trafficking. Cook owns an outdoor swimming pool on the roof of a 58-story building, which is where Arthur ended his life.
Arthur climbed through the building’s window and suspended himself with a lifeline. He then tried to cling to the bottom of the pool and injected a chemical to break the bottom of the pool. The swimming pool broke, Cook was swimming when he fell to the ground and Arthur quickly jumped into the room and escaped.
6. Solve private feuds in the style of “street jealousy” in Fast and Furious 7 (Too fast, too dangerous)
In Fast and Furious, Jason and Vin’s characters are opposites. When Ian Shaw (Jason) and Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) encountered each other, they crashed their cars into each other and then pulled out a stick. Both Vin and Jason are really eight and a half pounds, don’t know who will lose first. The fight is quite beautiful and brutal, when both sides want to defeat the other in anger. After a boring fight, Jason had to give up the stage to Vin Diesel and he fell into the pit due to the impact of a bomb.
With dramatic action films that make viewers’ hearts flutter, Jason Statham is the number one choice for this genre. If anyone still doubts Jason Statham’s acting ability, watch The Meg to verify. You can also win against the ancient shark, who can fight this incomparable “beautiful uncle”?
