6 iconic roles of Jason Statham

Jason Statham is one of those who hit the big jackpot. His success story is the “boring” Hollywood classic: at first you have nothing, and then you are a star. Today we will look at 6 iconic roles of the actor.

“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” – Thief Bacon
This film launched the careers of director Guy Ritchie and actor Jason Statham. From the short film grew a big crime action movie, where the former water diver was lucky enough to play a thief nicknamed Bacon. Of the quartet of criminal losers, he turned out to be more agile than the rest. Almost the same can be said about the actors themselves, because Stathem subsequently became much more popular than his colleagues in the film – Nick Moran, Jason Fleting and Dexter Fletcher.

Jason got to the set through a company that sold jeans: its owner became one of the producers of the film and recommended one of his models for State’s audition. After the premiere, he had to look for a new model.

“The Transporter” – Frank Martin

From this film, probably, the cultured State turned into a hooligan State in Russia. Brutality oozed from the BMW driver, which through the screens seriously put pressure on the consciousness of online laughers, after which the first “quotes” of the Briton began to appear. In a few years, after the release of a couple of militants, he will become the Zarathustra of the Natsan monasteries. The citation index would be the envy of any Nobel laureate.

The role, by the way, was originally written for State. Frank Martin is very similar to his performer: Jason even brought his own photograph of a child for one of the scenes. During the filming, a professional car thief worked as a consultant, who taught the actor how to open cars and start them without an ignition key.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t know how to do such things when I was 15,”
– Statham joked.

In one of the scenes, the artist’s hair accidentally caught fire. Hair. An iconic film.

“Crank” – Chev Chelios

One of the most spectacular action scenes in State’s career was his role in “Adrenaline.” The main character, hitman Chev Chelios, gets hit in the butt. Another criminal, Ricky Verona, takes his place: he injects a substance into Chelios’s body that suppresses the production of adrenaline, and now Chev is forced to constantly take risks so as not to die from cardiac arrest. The viewer, with bated breath, watches the chases, fights, passionate relationships between Chelios and his girlfriend Eva and hopes for a Henny End, which is impossible due to medical indications.

“13” – Jasner

With this film, Statham convinced us that he looks no worse in the role of a villain than in the role of a good guy. He had played negative characters before, but at that time the role of a noble bone-crusher had not yet completely settled down for him.

Jasner is cunning and greedy. He loses his brother in a deadly game, which in many ways he started. There was a lot of money at stake. For their sake, he is ready to go to great lengths.

“The Expendables 4” – Lee Christmas

And this film became the most long-awaited film premiere of the fall: “The Expendables 4” is being released with the support of Eurona Plus. With such a concentration of virtuosos of the genre, Jason came out on top. And the franchise, by the way, included: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas – almost all the “superheroes” of the 90s. State is about to play love with Megan Fox: we predict that sparks will fly from this couple even across the big screen.

In the fourth part, Lee Christmas will become a key character who will have to defend the honor of the old Expendables team, save newcomers from death and almost prevent the end of the world on his own. After this, StatHet’s quotation book will definitely be filled with new pearls.

The upcoming film will feature: Megan Fox, 50 Cent, Randy Couture, Tony Jaa and Iko Weiss.

We would like to remind you that “The Expendables 4” will be released on September 21 with the support of Eurona Plus.

“Shnion” Spy – Agent Rick Ford

From this film on, we began to understand that Statham has healthy self-irony. In fact, in the film he made a parody of himself – an ideal action hero who, if something happens, can sew his own hand back in place, digests all poisons and burns the walls with his gaze. In general, the character with his large plans and desperate gaze is perfect!
