Liam Neeson has not slowed down with age.
The 71-year-old action hero was spotted filming a fight scene for his new movie on Friday.
The actor has been busy working in Walhalla, a small town in Victoria, while filming his upcoming Hollywood flick, Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky.
The village located approximately two-and-a-half hours (185km) east of Melbourne has been made over to resemble Nepal, where the new film is set.
In dramatic images taken on set, the Irish superstar threw punches at a man dressed as a guard or policeman.

The scenes took place in a run down shed, with Liam raising his first in anger to the uniformed man, who had on a dark red beret.

The Taken star was dressed down for the shoot in a plaid shirt and puffer vest, as well as grey trousers.
Despite the hot summer weather in Melbourne, Liam remained dressed in what looked like a winter ensemble.

The heritage town of Walhalla has been completely transformed to depict a Nepalese marketplace, with some locals and residents finding it ‘odd’, according to 7News.
Buildings have been painted in bright colours as well as Nepalese props, but production has stated the town will return to its original state once filming wraps on January 24.
Letters were sent to residents and business owners last month with information about the production, informing that up to 90 cast and crew are expected to film in the town.
