van damme replicant holding a gun
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A stuntman for Jean-Claude Van Damme's Replicant reveals how a stunt gone wrong was nearly disastrous. Van Damme is a martial artist and actor from Belgium, best known for his work on films such as Double Impact, Double Team, and Kickboxer. Now 63 years old, Van Damme has been acting since the 1980s. His most recent roles include a voice role in Minions: The Rise of Gru and in the video game Mortal Kombat 1.
Leitch, who was not tethered to the staircase in any way, had to lean back during the shot. In one nearly-disastrous moment, Van Damme shook hard enough that Leitch was flung to the ground. He was saved by someone on the stunt team sliding a mat underneath him. Check out Leitch’s full story below: This is a great stunt, I gotta tell you about this. It’s not really even a stunt. We tell Jean-Claude, and again, this is not his fault, this is our fault. My fault. ‘You know, Jean-Claude, you can shake it so much, but I’m not tethered in.’ And I’m supposed to be leaning backwards, and I’m not tethered in. They should have probably webbing strapped my feet in or something. And I remember him tipping the whole thing over. He tips it over.
