"If 'Rambo Part XX' can be a one-man militia, I can jump over an Aston Martin," he told the Times.

In the ad, released on Bryant's website, KB24.com, Bryant tells viewers to not "try this at home," and afterward says to teammate Ronny Turiaf, "That is how you jump over an Aston Martin, boy, that's how you do it."
