Zack Sharf Digital News Director Keanu Reeves revealed in a new interview with ComicBook.com that he once split open a man’s head during a stunt scene gone wrong while making one of the “John Wick” movies.

Reeves has four “John Wick” movies under his belt, and the action franchise has required him to do insane stunts involving speeding cars, nunchucks, swords and more. “Well I mean everyone is pretty tired – but it’s the best kind of tired,” Reeves said when asked about what kind of accidents have taken place on the action-heavy “John Wick” sets. “It’s like you climbed a mountain now you’re resting; like you finished the game and you won.” “So in terms of accidents: I made a mistake once – I cut a gentleman’s head open,” Reeves continued. “So that really fucking sucked – excuse my language.

But other than that…oh, one guy got hit by a car. He was in the car, so he had to go to the hospital, but he was okay. All of this to say that you do have to take care.

But it’s great that everyone [on set] is watching out for each other.” Reeves concluded, “There’s some bruising and aches and pains, but [imitates official PSA announcement] ‘No humans were harmed in the filming of this motion picture!'” Variety has reached out to “John Wick” distributor Lionsgate for further comment. “John Wick: Chapter 4” is the latest installment in the franchise, and Reeves previously told Total Film magazine that it was the hardest action movie he’s ever had to make. “’John Wick: Chapter 4′ has the most action of any of the [‘John Wick’] films, which is saying a lot,” he said. “And it’s more by a good margin.
