Prior to that, he had worked in action movies, but they did not become so popular among the audience. Speaking of action movies, do you know ‘The Great One’ learned a special prison fighting style for his 2010 action movie? Well, if you didn’t know, then scroll below and read to find out more details about it.

It took two days for Dwayne Johnson to master a new fighting style

Johnson played the lead role of a man named Jimmy Cullen/Driver, who embarks on a journey to seek revenge for his brother’s death. The movie’s name is Faster. It was released on November 24, 2010, and earned $35.6 million at the box office worldwide, out of which $17.3 million came from DVD and Blu-ray sales in the US alone.

According to IMDb, Johnson had to learn a special prison fighting style known as “52 Blocks” or “Jailhouse Rocks” for the movie.

The budget for Faster was $24 million. Whereas it earned $35.6 million at the box office. The margin of profit here is 11.6 million dollars.

His movies like, ‘The Fate Of The Furious‘ and ‘Furious 7‘ have gone on to collect more than a billion dollars at the box office.

The movie had mixed reviews from fans and critics. And has an IMDb rating of 6.4/10. So, in conclusion, the action movie failed to make an impact on the audience. However, recently, the movie recently was seen suddenly pacing up the streaming charts.
