'The Rock' totally did his signature 'Rock Bottom' move in 'Furious 7'
In Furious 7, Dwayne Johnson is Hobbs, which means he gets to channel his wrestler alter ego "The Rock" by saying crazy things and fighting people.
In the wild action movie, Johnson also breaks out of a body cast and hijacks an ambulance, but his most memorable onscreen moment is when he gets to use his signature wrestling move, the "Rock Bottom," on Jason Statham's character. The one-armed slam-your-opponent-to-the-ground move is highlighted by a glass tank and a slick camera rotation in the film. The crowd at my Furious 7 cheered for it.
Here's what The Rock's move looks like in the wrestling ring:
Johnson was pretty psyched to tell his fans about his epic onscreen battle with Statham, writing on Instagram that he wanted to "create an historical fight that fans would never forget."
