1. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

2. Snatch (2000)

After stealing a diamond, Franky is kidnapped by Boris as he stops to bet on a boxing match on his way to London to meet diamond dealer Doug on behalf of jeweler Avi. Meanwhile, illegal boxing promoter Turkish sets up Irish boxer Mickey to lose a match, which he wins in a single punch, infuriating gangster Brick Top.

3. Turn It Up (2000)

Statham’s first movie after Lock, Stock... and Snatch was Turn It Up, a long-forgotten action movie starring rappers Pras and Ja Rule. Statham is hammy fun as villain Mr. B, but the stilted performances from the two leads and a parade of gangster movie clichés make Turn It Up one of the most skippable films on Statham’s CV.

4. Ghosts of Mars (2001)

Ghosts of Mars is Statham’s first action role, but he was once set to play the lead in the John Carpenter sci-fi action movie, which was later filled by Ice Cube. The film was one of a wave of Mars-set movies that bombed in the early 2000s, and it was greeted with harsh reviews. In truth, it is one of Carpenter’s weakest outings and felt dated even upon release, but there’s cheesy B-movie fun to be had with it regardless.

5. The One (2001)

Gabriel Yulaw is an inter-dimensional MultiVerse Authority agent who has been killing all other versions of himself in parallel universes and absorbing their power to become a god. He ultimately meets his match in the 124th version of himself, an L.A. police officer, Gabe Law but Gabe must overcome his own darkness.

However, one of the team members betrays the rest and leaves with the bullion, taking the others to be dead.

Will he be able to stop her?

But after a bank teller is shot, he orders the police to storm the bank and the criminal flees in the ensuing chaos.

15. The Pink Panther (2006)

French coach, Yves Gluant, arrives at an international soccer match, wearing a Pink Panther diamond ring. But when he is killed at the end of the game the ring is nowhere to be seen. To crack the case, Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus assembles a secret team of top investigators. But to divert media attention, he assigns the case officially to Inspector Clouseau, a clumsy small-town policeman.  

16. Crank (2006)

Crank might not be based on a particular video game, but it still feels like one of the first movies to successfully translate the feeling of playing a game to the big screen. Elements of Crank have aged poorly, but it’s a bananas ride of bizarre setpieces as Statham’s hitman races to keep his heart pumping, as he needs adrenaline to stay alive. Crank is the film that cemented Jason Statham’s stardom, and is a good place to start for the unconverted.

17. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)

On paper, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale sounds like it could be a real gas. It was an expensive adaptation of a famous video game, and in addition to Statham, it has a cast that includes Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, and John Rhys-Davies. In reality, it’s a turgid slog that attempted to launch a Lord of the Rings-style fantasy series only to crash and burn spectacularly at the box office.

18. War (2007)

FBI agent John Crawford, whose partner Tom Lone and his family were allegedly murdered by notorious assassin Rogue, hunts for the dicey murderer to avenge his partner’s death. The killer reemerges after 3 years to settle his own issues, triggering a major gang war between the mighty Triads and the Yakuza. Amidst the flying bullets, Crawford confronts Rogue only to discover some astonishing facts.

19. The Bank Job (2008)

The Bank Job is a heist thriller film that revolves around Terry, a car salesman, who is going through a lot of financial hardships. He is soon approached by Martine, who gives him a foolproof plan to rob a bank in London’s Baker Street. However, the job might not be that simple.

20. Death Race (2008)

Ahead of the arrival of an actual Twisted Metal TV series, this Jason Statham action movie is the next best thing. A remake of the Roger Corman-produced Death Race from the ’70s, this casts Statham as an innocent man sent to prison and forced to take part in the title event. The editing is often too jittery and choppy, but when Statham hits the track the chases themselves are crunchy and impactful. It helps that the runtime just zips by too.

21. Transporter 3 (2008)

After Malcolm dies while delivering a package, his employer shows up and forces Frank to complete the job. He has to deliver a package and a young girl, Valentina, to Budapest in a car which he has to stay close to or else it will explode. As the two set out on a dangerous journey, they grow close. What exactly is in this package?

22. Crank: High Voltage (2009)

With very limited time on his hands, Chev rushes to get his heart back from the gangsters with the help of Eve, Ria, and Venus. But all the time, he has to keep his artificial heart charged with electricity. 

23. 13 (I) (2010)

Vince overhears a man talking about a quick-paying job before he dies of a drug overdose. Vince, who is in dire need of money, takes on his identity and travels to New York without any idea about the job. Inadvertently, he walks into the concealed world of wealthy gamblers who played a high-stakes Russian roulette game, placing bets on who’ll survive. Vince has #13. 

24. The Expendables (2010)

The Expendables sold itself on pairing iconic action stars like Stallone, Statham, and Li, and that certainly brought audiences out to see it back in 2010. The action of The Expendables can be too muddy and quick cut, but it still functions as an entertaining throwback to the action movies of the ’80s and ’90s and features great performances from Statham, Stallone (who also directed), and Mickey Rourke.

25. The Mechanic (2011)

The Mechanic is one of many Jason Statham action movies helmed by Simon West (Con Air) and is a remake of a cult Charles Bronson movie. The Mechanic is a meat-and-potatoes action flick that’s bolstered by an intriguing dynamic, as Statham’s hitman takes on an unpredictable protégé played by Ben Foster. There’s nothing original about it, but the action is slick and it rarely pauses for breath.

26. Blitz (2011)

Detective Tom Brant is assigned to take down a serial killer named “Blitz,” who kills police officers. The investigation will lead him to the killer, but the evidence against him is weak. After he is released, Brant and his new partner Nash will put the killer under surveillance because they are expecting another attack.

It stars Jason Statham as an alcoholic homeless ex-soldier haunted by his past. One night while he is chased by a group of thugs, he hides in an empty apartment. Realizing that the resident will be absent for some time, he seizes the opportunity to assume the owner’s identity.

32. Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

Fast Five was a franchise reinventing smash, and Fast & Furious 6 largely rides on its coattails. This isn’t to imply it’s lazy, as it might be one of the saga’s most underrated in terms of action. It largely avoids the bloat that plagues later entries, while the runway setpiece is one of the wildest of the series. Statham’s Shaw makes a confident debut in a credits scene, announcing himself as the new big bad.

33. Homefront (I) (2013)

Statham’s Homefront started life as a Rambo sequel penned by Sylvester Stallone himself. Instead, it was reworked as a Jason Statham action movie vehicle, whose retired DEA agent makes enemies of local drug dealers in a Louisiana town, headed up by James Franco’s “Gator.” Homefront is a routine thriller overall, but it’s got a game cast and the action is well-mounted when it arrives.

Trying to escape his past as an undercover DEA agent, Phil Broker moves to a small Louisiana town with his daughter. Unfortunately, when he becomes the target of drug dealer, Gator Bodine, and his past catches up with him, he must take up arms to save himself and his daughter.

The story interweaves between the past and present, revealing family secrets, and ends with a successful mission and a family barbecue.

44. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023)

Like Wild Card and Parker before it, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre again features the name of Statham’s character (Orson Fortune) in the title. On the outside, it looks like a breezy heist comedy, and it has another stacked cast – Hugh Grant, Aubrey Plaza, Josh Hartnett, etc – to carry it. Still, there’s a curious lack of thrills or energy to the film, and it really feels like an elaborate excuse for the cast and crew to have an extravagant holiday in sunny locales.

45. Meg 2: The Trench (2023)

Get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush this summer in “Meg 2: The Trench,” a literally larger-than-life thrill ride that supersizes the 2018 blockbuster and takes the action to higher heights and even greater depths with multiple massive Megs and so much more.
