While filming Expendables 3 in 2013, Jason Statham was involved in a serious accident involving a truck that he later called ' a real recalibration.'
One Expendables 3 stunt almost proved fatal for star Jason Statham. The Expendables movies launched with the mission statement of being loving throwbacks to the action movies of yesteryear. Instead of superheroes or VFX-heavy action sequences, it was sold on the star power of veteran action performers like Sylvester Stallone - who also created the series - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li and others. If Stallone is the main star of the series then Jason Statham comes a close second.

With Stallone stepping aside from the series with the forthcoming Expendables 4, it was only natural that Statham would become his successor. Due to the nature of The Expendables 3's story, Statham was somewhat underutilized in the story.
Jason Statham's Expendables 3 Accident Explained During The Expendables 3's first act, the titular crew head to Somalia on a mission. This quickly goes wrong and they find themselves in an intense chase with Expendable 3's villain Stonebanks' henchmen. Statham's Christmas is driving the flatbed truck they try to escape in, and the scene climaxes with him pulling it over and the team firing on their pursuers.
Statham - who is a former diver who competed for England at the 1990 Commonwealth Games - managed to get out of an open window. However, in recalling the accident to Red Bulletin , he revealed his gun holster got snagged, which naturally made him panic. Thankfully, he got free and was taken to safety by The Expendables 3's crew. Statham soon got dry, put on fresh clothes and finished filming the rest of the sequence as planned.
Statham's Expendables 3 Accident "Puts Things In Perspective" During the press rounds for The Expendables 3, Statham and the rest of the cast recounted the accident like it was an amusing piece of trivia. It left a mark on the actor though, who dubbed the Expendables 3 accident “a nasty, nasty experience" but also added that it was "... one that puts things in perspective." Statham said "It's a real recalibration of everything.
