The 7 Best Action-Packed Jason Statham Movies To Watch Before Hobbs And Shaw
Hes been a hero, a villain, a joker and a competitive diver. But if action superstar Jason Statham is known for anything, its his ability to kick a lot of ass. The most recent example of that piece of his career has been his success as an ass-kicker in the Fast and Furious film series, so much so that hes half of the new spinoff, Hobbs and Shaw.
If youre a fan of Jason Statham's, or are looking for a reason to get into his work, we recommend you, at the very least, watch the last two films in the Fast and Furious series to get caught up to the point that Hobbs and Shaw is at in the series. However, there are other movies in the Statham catalog you should be partaking in to get yourself pumped and ready for his latest action romp, and we have a good list of what those films should be.
So schedule a little bit of me time on the books, make sure you do your streaming and rental research as to how to get ahold of the Jason Statham movies were about to lay down and prepare for your very own film festival. Lets call it StathamFest, which means that the following are your required stops on the StathamFest trail.
The Italian Job (2004)With his career as an action lead getting a huge boost out of The Transporters surprise success, one of the Jason Statham movies that increased his visibility exponentially was director F. Gary Grays remake of the 1969 crime caper, The Italian Job.
Flexing his action hero muscles as Handsome Rob, Jason Statham also got to play the eye candy of Mark Wahlbergs band of criminals, which was certainly a bonus for the audience that made it a theatrical hit. The Italian Job not only gave Statham a chance to be a comedic heartthrob, but it also gave him even more experience with the impressive car stunts that helped make his career what it is.
While we never got the proposed sequel, The Brazilian Job, we did get a Statham/Gray reunion when the star and director paired up for The Fate of The Furious; so The Italian Job is a good film to re-watch in preparation for the further adventures of Deckard Shaw.
The Transporter 2 (2005)The Transporter is one of the earliest successes of Jason Stathams career, as Frank Martin was the first blockbuster character that Statham had under his action belt. And with The Transporter 2 bringing Frank to the mean streets of Miami, the scenery is closer to home, along with the high flying automotive action.
While it acts as a sort of loose remake of Man On Fire, with Jason Stathams Frank replacing Denzel Washingtons Creasy, the film is a full throttle thrill ride, complete with one of the most ridiculous action moments in the mans entire career. The second of three installments with Statham as Mr. Martin, our hero is charged with not only preventing a viral outbreak, but also recovering a wealthy familys child in the process.
A positively breathless ticking clock action film, The Transporter 2 is a Jason Statham movie quick enough to fit into any days schedule, but its also weighted enough to keep an audience fixed on the screen the whole time. If you believe one of lifes rules is a person knowing their car and its contents, in and out, this one is a no-brainer.
Crank (2006)Mixed in with all of the big budget franchises and one-off action fests that make up the body of Jason Stathams movies are some smaller, and definitely weirder, choices. Case in point is the extremely memorable Crank, directed by Neveldine/Taylor, a duo more than familiar with the world of the weird.
Jason Stathams character this time around is Chev Chelios, with Crank seeing his protagonist injected with a drug intended to prevent the flow of adrenaline, in hopes of killing him dead. But, of course, as this is a Neveldine/Taylor directed film, Stathams assassin antihero does have a way out of this mess. And its keeping his adrenaline pumping in such an extreme fashion, that methods such as electrocution and other feats tempting death are needed at all times in this single day thriller.
Pushing the boundaries of every force it comes into contact with, Crank makes for one of the weirdest, but also one of the most exhilarating Jason Statham movies in his collected canon. Proving that he can turn his charms and action talents to 11 when need be, Crank gave Statham the range he needed to eventually jump into the sort of antics that Hobbs and Shaw will eventually demand of him.
War (2007)While Jason Statham and Jet Li would eventually team up yet again in The Expendables, their paths would cross earlier in the gang thriller War. Except in the instance of this particular film, Statham and Li faced off as nemeses in an all-out street fight between an FBI agent and a rogue element.
Jason Stathams John Crawford is the FBI agent whos swearing revenge against Jet Lis former CIA operative Rogue, a target who survived his supposed death and not only killed Crawfords partner, but also plans on starting a gang war between the Triads and the Yakuza. Things get pretty hairy as the two play cat and mouse on the streets of San Francisco, and will use everything at their disposal to strike the other where it hurts the most.
Another interesting connection that adds an interesting layer to watching War is the fact that Jason Stathams character, Crawford, works with an FBI sniper by the name of Goi throughout the films duration. Playing Goi is none other than Sung Kang, better known as Han from the Fast and Furious universe; and considering how War ends, Jason Stathams murder of Han in that particular series could be seen as pure revenge.
Death Race (2008)Sometimes a movie gets remade because of its popularity. But in the case of director Paul W.S. Andersons Death Race, the film feels like a remake that is made to capitalize on the popularity of someone like Jason Statham. At least it feels that way, because wisecracks meet car stunts in this dystopian action extravaganza that screams its status as a Jason Statham movie.
Framed for a murder he didnt commit, Jason Stathams Jensen Ames is sent to prison and given the opportunity to win his own freedom through the titular Death Race. A televised pay-per-view spectacle, take The Running Man and infuse it with the DNA of NASCAR, and youve got the basic premise for this particular film.
As far as Jason Statham movies go, Death Race is sort of an underrated gem. Showcasing Stathams abilities as an action lead, while also putting him into an ensemble that sees Joan Allen, Ian McShane and future Fast and Furious co-star Tyrese Gibson all mixing it up, Death Race is well worth tracking down if youre serious about your Statham.
The Expendables (2010)If theres anything that the viewing public should know about Jason Statham by this entry in the list, its that he plays very well as both a lead and an ensemble member. The latter is part of why The Expendables is such a treat to watch, as the relatively fresh faced Statham gets to play with heavy hitters like Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren.
Hired to overthrow a villainous dictator, The Expendables sees some of the biggest names in action teaming up, or in some cases fighting against, the likes of Sylvester Stallones expendable team. Playing Lee Christmas, the teams blade expert, Jason Statham gets to be a man who only talks when the conversation requires him to. And if hes not talking, chances are his opponent is about to take some serious damage.
Whether its an island in the Gulf of Mexico or a basketball court on home soil, Jason Statham takes the fight to whomever stands in his way in The Expendables. Even though he appears as a member of the overarching ensemble, this Statham movie has enough action to excite the crowd and enough Statham magic for him to stand out from all the rest.
The Meg (2018)Lets just get something out of the way: The Meg is, by no means, a film that needs to be taken seriously. Getting past that though, its easy to see how people enjoyed this film so much, it became a blockbuster hit in 2018s film market. And naturally, part of that success is Jason Stathams Jonas Taylor.
Playing a rescue diver obsessed with proving the existence of a rare Megalodon, Jason Statham gets to be The Megs hero, front and center. As such, Jonas is wise, kind and not afraid to put his foot down; all the things youd expect from a Statham performance, with a little more heroic charm allowed this time out.
In fact, its Jason Stathams charm that helps anchor The Megs all-star cast, which also includes Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose and Li Bingbing. And with both Statham and his cast fully in sync, the level of ridiculous spectacle and action is balanced in such a state that the audience can really sink their teeth into it. And if you want to make it a family affair, this films PG-13 rating will certainly allow the kids to enjoy this one alongside the adults in the room.
Jason Stathams career is as varied as it is exciting, and this sampler pack of films is only the beginning of the proof to that point. So let StathamFest pump you up for a summer of action, as well as the eventual box office debut of Hobbs and Shaw. But more importantly, let these films entertain you while showing the many facets of Jason Stathams career as a hero, a villain and a comic relief for the ages.
Hobbs and Shaw promises to kick the box offices ass on August 2, but if youre looking for some action prior to that point, check out the 2019 release schedule for more of the options available to you.
According to a Twitter post shared by CinemaScore, Venom received a B+ from viewers, which puts it on par with the B+ Spider-man 3 earned. That's not a super high score and is sitting in the average category, but that's better than what critics say. Compare that to the 32% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics.
