Did you know
ā¢ Ben Foster broke his collarbone in his solo fight scene with the burly hitman.
ā¢ It was originally intended that Bishop (Jason Statham) would die by way of an explosion at the gas station but this ending was scrapped due to Simon West fearing audiences would not want to see both leads die at the end of the film.
ā¢ The illegal arms dealer's mugshot is simply the actor's face photoshopped onto David Bowie's mugshot from a drug-related arrest in Rochester NY.
