Jason Statham’s career in the movie industry has been nothing short of diverse and successful. From his early days as a model and dancer, he made a breakthrough with the 1998 film “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” directed by Guy Ritchie. However, it was his action-packed roles that truly propelled him to stardom.

One of Statham’s notable franchises is “The Transporter.” Playing the titular driver who follows a strict set of rules, Statham’s charisma and impressive figҺting skills made this trilogy one of his most well-known works. The second film in the series is often regarded as the best, featuring some of his most memorable figҺt scenes.

Another franchise that Statham became a part of is “The Fast and the Furious.” Initially introduced as a villain, his character, Shaw, later became a more complex and redeemable figure. Alongside Vin Diesel, Statham’s presence added a strong co-star element to the films, further enhancing their appeal.

Statham also joined the ensemble cast of “The Expendables” series, which aimed to bring together iconic action movie heroes. While the films didn’t fully meet expectations, Statham’s performance often stood out, showcasing his action prowess.

“The Mechanic” franchise, comprising a 2011 remake and a 2016 sequel titled “Mechanic: Resurrection,” did not fare as well critically. The action sequences were criticized for being over-edited, and the stories failed to leave a lasting impression. Despite this, Statham’s presence still managed to make an impact.

Standing out as the wildest and most unique of Statham’s filmography is the “Crank” franchise. These movies exhibit a frenetic energy resembling open-world video games, with Statham portraying a hitman fueled by adrenaline to stay alive. Combining elements of comedy and action, the “Crank” films highlight Statham’s versatility as an actor.
