I watch action movies, and you don't remember when Jason Statham does a kick or punch. It's character trait stuff you remember.
Anyone that watches WWE realizes a lot of times we do big stuff. We're considered over the top.
If you were to watch any of the British Bulldogs' matches against the Hart Foundation, it was lightning in a bottle, with incredible tag team competition that was ahead of its time.
I love a match like Money in the Bank; I love a hardcore match, and that's what the Money in the Bank ladder matches are. Throw the rule book out and let out your imagination.
Extreme rules, hardcore wrestling - whatever they want to call it - was born out of a necessity to survive.
Frankly, you cannot match the action in a Bond or a Bourne film. Forget budgets, it needs an expertise which I probably lacked.
Action movies to me are dramas with recognizable human beings that are in extraordinary situations.
There are a lot of big action movies that we've worked on where the attitude has been, 'Let's just get through this scene.' Then you get those jumpy, what-were-they-thinking action sequences.
The adrenaline feeling of jumping out of cliffs and bikes and all of that is very specific to the film. In 'Pac Rim' I'm not doing that so much. There isn't that touch stonework for me in it, but there is a lot of action.
I still like the run and gun action movies and how truly dangerous it can be to make these films.
I was happy when I read the script [The Bourne Ultimatum ] - the first version they sent me - to see that before, there's some humanity too.
'Death Race' was a very modern action movie, and it used all of those modern action techniques with lots of hand-held camera, lots of punchy zooms, and lots of quick movements and quick cuts.
With 'Total Nonstop Deletion,' my main goal is to give people the two hours of the most fun wrestling they have ever seen.
Six-Man Tag Matches are good to have on the show because they're very exciting.
I like all action movies, but the ones with Jason Statham are always my favorite.
When Shane McMahon competes, you know he's going to jump off something high!
An action movie, a sci-fi action movie, would be my favourite thing in the world to do.
The stuff I'm designing, I want my action scenes to be intense.
When you get two guys that gel together, you can feel greatness in the ring.
I'd love to do action-y types of films; you know, as long as they're good stories.
My ego would be fed tremendously when I'd go on a set and get in a car and tear it to pieces. I'd get out and everyone on the set would applaud.
There is more emotion in a match in New Japan. The matches here in the U.S. are so fast that sometime they lack emotion. It is move, move, move.
You get to shoot things, and things blow up, and you're jumping off of buildings. It's insane! And hot girls. And you get to dress cool. And you're in a movie with Tom Cruise, come on! So it's a dream come true. Truly.
With 'The Expendables,' you have such a brilliant mess of the greatest action stars of all time, so you're in for the ride with those people.
I love doing action. And I love doing dramatic films, and I'd never really been able to combine them.
