Largo Winch 3: Between injuries and extreme stunts, Tomer Sisley's craziest shoot

Thirteen years after the cinematic beginnings of the nonconformist billionaire, the third installment of the franchise starring Tomer Sisley hit screens. Although box office numbers were more modest than the first two chapters, the film proved to be a grueling physical marathon for its lead actor, who insisted on giving his all to portray the hero created by Philippe Francq and Jean Van Hamme.

A nightmarish shoot and a series of injuries

For this third feature film, the physical toll was immense. Tomer Sisley opened up about the grueling trials he faced during production. The actor tore his shoulder during motorcycle training just before the very first day of shooting. Refusing to step down, he pushed through intense action sequences, including a sled stunt in freezing -30 degree weather with a wrecked shoulder.

The ordeal didn't end there: while trying to protect his joint during that stunt, he fractured his forearm. The very next day, he had to film a rigorous fight scene opposite co-star James Franco. Such a cascade of mishaps easily qualified this production as the most grueling experience of his action career.

Jaw-dropping stunts without a safety net

True to his reputation, Tomer Sisley refused to rely on stunt doubles, performing the vast majority of his own physical feats. Right from the opening seven-minute chase sequence, the actor is seen being towed by a car, hooking onto a pickup truck on his motorcycle's rear wheel, and dangling over the edge of the vehicle. This extraordinary level of dedication highlights his deep connection to the role.

Opposite him, James Franco also stepped up to execute his own combat choreography despite the typical insurance restrictions of American productions. Total commitment from both leads to drive a high-stakes plot taking Largo from Canadian forests deep into Burmese mines.
