Love Point Blank and almost-love Payback, wary of this one. Parker doesn't need to be all Cranked-up.

as a parker movie it looks awful (lol at his rule about not hurting people 'who dont deserve it'), but as a statham flick it looks a little better than the stuff he's been doing lately.

How did Transporter beat Crank? Crank is a genuinely inspired piece of film making.

Because Transporter has the Rules of the Car.

wau at calling that Parker - while he was alive Westlake almost universally barred the name even being used for the character in adaptations, now they're adapting one of the late ones that specifically depends on him being forty years deep into his career and casting a young(ish) man and expecting the weight to be carried? booooo.

yeah it's pretty gross that they waited for westlake to die so they could shit all over his character

Statham's cowboy hat in that trailer makes him look uncomfortably like Michael Gira.

Saw a preview for the new Statham movie "Homefront" (actually it was the ad that came up before watching a Lou Reed YouTube someone posted on Facebook) where he plays American (?) and his 10-11 year old daughter beats up a bully Statham-style and puts the family on the bad side of a meth dealer played by James Franco and also Winona Ryder is involved somehow? Looks amazing.

Sad LOL at having to watch an ad before watching this trailer (i.e. an ad)
― Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 31 October 2013 21:24 (ten years ago) link
where he plays American
He's supposed to be American in quite a few of his movies, but it's hard to tell as his efforts at an accent are pretty minimal.
I'll definitely be watching this new one.

Just watched Homefront. It's definitely worth seeing. All the usual Statham ass-kickery with a side order of redneck blood-feudin'. Kate Bosworth's great in it (seriously - she plays a mom who'll burn the world down if she thinks she's been disrespected, and she's the scariest, most real thing about the movie); Winona Ryder and James Franco are...also in it. Script by Sylvester Stallone. Still recommended.

Crank (2006)Amy Smart’s body double“My most fun moment on set was Crank. Jason Statham made me feel so comfortable. I can’t remember exactly what he said, but I remember telling my husband later — something so charming, like, 'Don’t worry about it, I got ya, love.' He didn’t make me feel stupid or naked. And I had to be completely topless, and it was this crazy scene outside with all these background actors. But I was like, 'This is not a bad day. I’m taking my clothes off for Jason Statham. I’ll be okay today.' I remember getting the call for Crank 2; Amy Smart requested me and I thought that was really nice. But I was pregnant and couldn’t do it, and I was so upset. But you can’t be a pregnant body-double. It’s a liability.”

Statham vs. Shark feels vaguely like internet meme bait. Guess that's how movies are made now.

It's a bummer that this thread wasn't revived a few years ago to discuss his fantastic performance in the Melissa McCarthy movie Spy.
― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 11:43 (six years ago) link
yeah he's the best thing in that movie - i've unironically loved statham for years but he's genuinely a revelation there, a fantastic unselfconscious comic performance

The Bank Job -- Non-action Statham and was watchable, if a bit uneventfulsix years later I want to bristle at this faint praise - a heist movie by Dick Clement & Ian LaFrenais! it's in my top seven Stathams.
