What's surprising about Statham is his comedic timing. He was in that awful spy comedy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the only good thing about it.

“I once dove a car, off a bridge onto a train while on fire…not the car me I was on fire.” Funny shit!

Statham wears custom shoes to give him an extra two inches in height. He does tell the camera crew to shoot him at an angle where he looks taller onscreen. A buddy of mine worked as a photographer for the last fast and furious movie and said Statham would always approach him to make sure he looked taller on the scenes.

Statham just sounds like a perfectionist that knows exactly what he wants and accepts nothing less. Given that the number of hits on his filmography far outweigh the number of misses, I'd say it's payed off.

@@axelstone3131 I don't know. I don't find any of it particularly unusual, fantastical, or scandalous. Most big-name actors make demands that we "regular folk" might find silly and unreasonable. I remember reading that Statham, Vin Diesel, and Dwayne Johnson all had a limit on how many punches they could receive from each other during fight sequences written into their contracts. It's just a part of how the game is played.

Hello, Viking Samurai. I don't think Jason Statham is insecure at all. He just knows what he wants and likes to stick to what he likes. TERRANCE OUT

I think Jason wants to always look cool, even when doing everyday mundane things. A good example of this is in the first Transporter film when he's eating lunch and throwing away his trash. He just looks cool doing it.

I don't know that I would say that Statham is insecure, maybe he's just cognizant of how he looks best on film.

Gotta respect the cast and crew in Undisputed 2 even more for enduring the harsh weather.

Dolph has some classics out there from Showdown in little Tokyo,The Punisher ,Bridge of Dragons not forgetting he was the showstealer in Rocky lV and Universal Soldier

I think the insecurity may be Statham wanting to show that action guys are capable of doing dramatic work in action films

Statham is awesome!

Jason Statham is focused. I highly doubt any of the action stars are difficult . I'm retired and I live now on the East Coast and continue doing Background talent on some films and Independent Films. Me and my wife Laura do Films for fun and nothing more. For example Jean Claud Van Damme throwing a fit on some sets does not make him bipolar on all sets or in real life. It just shows their frustration and they have earned their right to be perfectionists. I'm intrigued by the Viking Samurai and what he puts out on his channels. My Uncle who lived in Los Angeles was a stuntman and worked on many action films. This afforded me and my younger brother to work as Background Talent and be on many Action Film Sets and see many Action Film stars rise or fall into obscurity. All I know is these Action Stars are good peeps and I have personally seen them as determined, hardworking and focused. I have never seen any of them not apologize for their outbursts so far, heck everyone on a set can have a bad day.

Great content as always viking samurai. I love these insights on past movies!

Expendables 4 was a absolute dissapointment. It was baited as a 80s action heroes film like the first titles but turned out to be a Jason Statham movie. 😡

Can't wait to post on this later, Viking. I have a lot to say about this. I'm delighted you have chose this topic. It's been a long time coming and needs addressing with some home truths.

Never heard this about Jason before.

6:35 I love details in movies like this. Makes me appreciate the art even more because they went through hell for it.

The BeeKeeper is one of the best Statham flims of all time.

I hope see him fights against Scott Adkins again in another great action movie. But this time it's Scott who will kick Statham's ass 😂

Dolph Lundgren is taller than 6'2. Dolph is the man!

Hey viking why did you let that shadow idiot talk to you like that the other day, dont let him punk you like that you need to fire back bro

What's behind that curtain Ross has hurriedly thrown up? I am thinking a pinboard with "potential projects".

Probably not insecurity I just than Jason Statham wants to always be shown a certain way ,which explains why he’s so successful.

The last time Dolph was 6”2 was when he was 5 years old. 😂 Any news on Dolph’s condition? Last I heard he was on his last few months.

I'm a fan of Statham. Like his are really the only action movies that if on the TV I'll probably sit and watch more than Stallone or Schwarzenegger. But I do like his non action parts a little bit more. Like Snatch, Mean Machine (which maybe an action movie to some) and London. It just shows his range. He can't be beating people up forever

I like statham, he was good in that one movie where play's the same character as he does in all his movies 😎

I’ve directed a bunch of shorts with my friends and stuff and when it comes to crew i only use people i go to film school with for obvious reasons. I will say that it is harder to direct yourself doing anything that’s not action because you’ll be open to suggestions from your peers but it is ultimately what YOU want. So it’s hard bc you need to really co direct those moments bc you can’t see yourself until it’s over which takes more time. So I usually get my dp to help me on my performance since i know he directs too. I also realize that i spend all my time worrying about every other aspect that i dob’t give my performance the time it needs so I usually am the worst part. And granted im not a good actor to begin with but it just adds a layer of stress

@@VikingSamurai the point was to answer your question about how Ross feels about actors directing themselves. You’re a talented guy, try directing your own short scene. Have a brief bit of true acting mixed with some great action and you will see personally how they feel

Only met Statham once & would like to fight him in a film (I should be Barney's/Sly's long lost illegitimate son he didn't know about if they do Expendables 5), but it was first day of Crank 2 I got there early & was walking up..he just happened to pop out of a trailer and awareness noticed me off to his right right away a good 30 yards away..he came directly up, saw my UFC shirt, and started chatting about Bas Rutten & MMA etc. Time for the first fight scene, he did yell and take control of the entire situation right away and made it his own choreography. I had actually gotten snapped out by stunt coordinator a few minutes earlier "Cut that shit out!" because this buff stunt woman said she did wing chun, I took up a Wing Chun stance and we no shit had a real trapping fight for a good few seconds when she really attacked me (I told the story in my 3 Crazy Wing Chun stories video)! He is skilled-(Real skilled Diver, trained in Krav Maga & with Bas-Purple Belt possibly now Brown Belt in BJJ-sold fake Rolex's out of his coat lol), and maybe him setting the tone he was in charge, at least as far as fight scenes, I am not against. I would want to do the same. I'd like to go see Beekeeper but not ready to fight these roads yet. Anyone seen it? Worth going out to?

Not really a fan of stathum, he's just too bald to take seriously. His bald head is too distracting.

Statham dived. It's very very exposing standing on a platform at a competition. It is 100% focussed attention in an echoey environment with the prospect of belly/back/face flopping if you mess up your out from the tumble/twist. You won't get in a ring with anyone because how it will look despite what you would learn from it and grow past this stunted existence you have.

I didn't watch their movies for the charisma. I was led to believe it was cool. Until I actually started to live it in war. Not over the top but action for sure. Tiring action that doesn't flow like the movies, no defining moment like the movies. Just chaos and noise. Unlike the way Statham fights go where each bad guy takes their turn to respectfully hit him. The. Bank Job was the movie I noticed he couldn't act to save his life. He can't cry. He doesn't emote properly, and he's always got that dumb looking scowl on his face like he just smells farts all the time.

Michael Jai White is delusional. The guy never ever had a fight in his life but he acts that he´s superior to everybody in the movie industry. He once said that Jackie Chan would have beaten Bruce Lee in a real fight and of course he too. I can´t take him seriously. The guy is out of his mind, a B-actor acting in B-movies!!!
