How did Jason Statham survive?


During the last heist at the depot. Jason Statham got shot by bullet and seem to look dead.
All of a sudden his alive with no explanation and got his revenge in the end of the movie?

My question too.

Because he's Jason Statham

this

I'm pretty sure this question would apply to almost every movie Statham's ever been in.

That seemed strange since he was shot by a burst of bullets from a close range. I guess his armor caught most of them. The villain should've aimed for the head. A rookie mistake.

reply

The villain was a military man. They train you to shoot for center of mass in the military. At this close range the armor Statham was wearing wouldnt have stopped these guns.

reply

Why?

Surely it’s better to shoot the head and ensure a fatality?

reply

No. Because in real life you do not shoot like a videogame character and you always aim for center mass for accuracy. It also tends to do more damage than any other location other than the head, and the head is small.

This gets drilled into you to the point of instinct.

reply

It’s not like he’s got one shot, he sprays bullets into him. Foolish not to aim for the head.

reply

Perhaps in that particular situation that would be true, however the learned instinct to aim for the center mass is indeed strong and you do it without even thinking about it.

reply

It was very convenient for the script.

reply

And only in movies someone usually stand up after such a loadout.

reply

The only problem is the same guy (Bullet) shot the black guy and the blonde girl in the head, just seconds before.

reply

He was shot multiple times, but as the poster above mentioned, most got caught in the flak jacket. He was only hit in the shoulder, but he was still reeling and in shock from the shotgun blast to the head while he was wearing the armored helmet.

He was also shot in the leg.

After getting shot multiple times by Bullet, he just laid on the ground (likely winded, even though most of the shots were absorbed by the gun). Also, Bullet was using what looked like an MP9, so those are 9mm rounds, so unless Statham got hit in an artery, he likely wasn't going to die from a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

reply

Don't be stupid he was only shot 4 times on 2 different occasions.

reply

He had the best kind of protection: Plot armor.

reply

Well his fake last name is Hill. We think that's why Bullet called him H but the letter H was also used in the 1998 Halloween movie, H20. Therefor the only reasonable explanation is that H is a relative of Michael Myers.
