The great escape! Dwayne Johnson breaks free from police in a heart-pounding scene as he shoots new action movie Skyscraper
He's certainly no stranger to playing the tough guy in movie roles.
And Dwayne Johnson was seen wrenching himself away from cops who tried to detain him as he shot scenes for his upcoming movie Skyscraper in Vancouver, Canada, on Thursday.
The actor, 45, initially appeared to submit to the police, letting one of them pull his arm behind his back - but in a flash he broke free and made a run for it.

Dwayne's chiseled physique was visible through a powder blue shirt spattered with fake blood, with a red-stained tear at the right sleeve.
The former wrestler had his cuffs folded up to reveal his toned forearms, as well as the fact that his left one is bandaged up.
The movie star was photographed standing with his hands up in surrender as two cops advanced on him, one of them training a gun on him.

He pushed the arresting officer into the gun-toting one, and then he dashed off, pushing aside a pair of startled-looking men in his way.
Dwayne was seen filming Skyscraper in Vancouver last Friday, his face covered in grime during a scene where he stood near a helicopter.

A little girl named Georgia - played by McKenna Roberts - was seen standing beside Dwayne, with both of them are bundled up in thick anoraks.
At one point in the scene, he helped her off the helicopter onto a stone tiled floor.
In the film, the aircraft belonged to police, judging by text across the side of its tail.

Rawson, who previously directed Dwayne in Central Intelligence, dished to the Indian broadsheet Daily News And Analysis over the summer about the film.
Of moving from his prior work in comedy to an action movie like Skyscraper, he conceded: 'I don't know if it's organic. I think it's pretty uncommon to do it.
'I just always loved action movies since I was a little kid. In fact, the movie I am prepping for right now (Skyscraper) is a straight up action movie.'

He said: 'I always wanted to make action movies. I really love Central Intelligence so I would never call it a stepping stone, but it's definitely a bridge to straight up action.'
'Dwayne is the best. He is not only the hardest working guy you'll ever meet, (I know people say that a lot, but he actually is!) but he is also incredibly gracious and kind.'
The director explained that Dwayne, often nicknamed The Rock, 'takes the work seriously but doesn't take himself seriously, which I really appreciate.
'Boy, when I made Central Intelligence with Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson, it was the best experience I ever had, so I am very excited to do it again on Skyscraper.'
