A resident of the UK and expert kickboxer, Statham is one of the few remaining straight-up action stars in Hollywood. He first drew attention for his roles in the films of [[Guy Ritchie]] (especially ''[[Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]''), but became a bona fide star with ''[[The Transporter]]'' and ''[[Crank (Film)|Crank]]'' films; he is also a frequent collaborator with Jet Li and has also done voice-overs for ''[[Red Faction|Red Faction II]]'' and the original ''[[Call of Duty]]''.

A good rule of thumb when considering Jason Statham movies for viewing: if the film in question cannot be alternatively titled ''Jason Statham Drives A Car And Kills People ([[Perpetual Frowner|While Scowling A Lot]])'', it most likely isn't that good.
