By Natalie WolfeThey're the death defying stunts and jaw-dropping scenes that have us leaving the cinema in bewilderment. The majority of the time, stunts and action sequences are pulled off seamlessly but there have been times when things have gone tragically wrong. While filming a "jerk back scene" for the first Deathly Hallows instalment, the incredibly dangerous stunt didn't go as planned and instead slammed him against a wall. In the second film, one stuntman died and another was critically injured after an explosion scene didn't go as planned. While shooting a scene in Varna, Bulgaria, the brakes on a truck Statham was driving failed resulting in him driving straight into the Black Sea.
