Jackie Chan has broken his nose three times, among other injuries.

Sylvester Stallone received 60 stitches while filming "Rocky II."

Mr. Stallone has a unique view on set injuries. “It’s a good omen,” he said. “Every film I’ve done where I got injured has turned out great. Rocky II was 60 stitches; Rocky III was a concussion; the last Rambo was a bruised artery. Ones where I come out unscathed? Disasters.” However, the action star's been warned that if he hurts his neck again, he could be looking at paralysis, or "worse."

Russell Crowe received the same shoulder injury twice.

"His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we're figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story," Bay said in 2008.
