Action stars grab the wheel before relinquishing their grip over the genre. 

It’s a younger person’s game, given the need to be physically convincing when unleashing the requisite ass-kicking and name-taking.

And yet, luminaries push the corporeal limitations of their age.

Sam Jackson’s The Beast and Liam Neeson’s The Mongoose find the same workaround: they stay in their motor vehicles for most of the duration; car chases are as much a genre hallmark as running, jumping and punching. 

And The Mongoose ain’t Liam’s first rodeo in the saddle; Retribution was a full three years ago!

One of my favorite recent examples of this sly approach: Nic Cage in Sympathy for the Devil.

Potential future examples:

Jason Statham in another Transporter? Or another Italian Job?

The inevitable Fast and Furious legacy remake/reboot?

Keanu and Bullock in another Speed?
