From a performance standpoint, Jason Statham sees action sequences in the Mechanic, as an outgrowth of who Arthur Bishop is as a character. Statham said: "You have to make it look inventive and smart, because Bishop's a guy who processes things as he goes along. We're trying to look like he's improvising with the location around him, which is quite difficult to do at times." Also challenging, says Statham, is keeping the action authentic: "It's trying to keep it realistic without it being over the top. With all the different action that we do, and no matter what the location is, we want to try and keep an element of realism. Then there's the safety issue and fighting with the elements. It's one of the hardest aspects of making action movies."
