9 Most Insane Film Stunts You Won't Believe Actors Performed

6. Jason Statham - Crank

Statham has always been one for doing his own stunts, ever since early on in his career where miniscule budgets meant the inability to hire stuntmen on the films he worked on. The trend continued, with Statham finding himself unable to pass the buck after setting a precedent for himself. One such instance is in Crank, where he actually fought a guy in a helicopter above the streets of Downtown Los Angeles. The only thing securing him to the copter was a thin belt and a harness, and even the actor has admitted he was fairly close to releasing the chocolate hostage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBIRhyERkak
