Here's how LG created dozens of Jason Stathams for its crazy G5 ad
Watch Next

Remember LG's recent ad for its G5 flagship? The one that happens in a world inhabited by a multitude of Jason Stathams?

Well, now you can see how the ad was made. In a new, two-minute clip, the team that created the TV commercial explains how it was done. 

Most of the magic consists of filming every scene twice, with Statham and his stunt double switching places. That, and a lot of Jason Statham masks. So, if you ever want to create your own, weird, Jason Statham-themed place of worship, these guys' basement is where you'd start. Just saying.
