>zero range>no fucks given
>>220334076>muh rangeok fag
>>220334076He's good at what he does.
>>220334076Range is a meme. No normal person gives a fuck.
>>220334076I hate that this retard and mark wahlberg are the only actors allowed to do action movies
>>220334149>forgetting Tom Cruise
>>220334157The last MI movie was kinda sad
>>220334145Normal people are lame
he plays the bri'ish hunk pretty welldivorced wine moms all over the world love him as well
going from Turkish to Chev Chelios is more range than Brando and DDL
>>220334076Statham is a genre, not an actor
>>220334509Brando went from Italian-American mob boss to Kryptonian scientist.
>>220334076Remember when Arnie or Stallone or Van Damne tried to expand their range and do "serious" movies with disastrous results?At least Statham knows his limits.
>>220334076Even Bruce Lee said;>I don't fear the man who has played a 1000 character's once>I fear the man who has played the same character 1000 times
>>220334465I read that in his voice kek
>>220334682Rocky was a serious movie
>>220334076Guy had no acting training when he started. Some directors can turn water into wine.
>>220334076>So Jason, we want you to play as yourself, but if yourself is an Ice Cream salesman, but before you had this job, you were an elite soilder, but one day when delivering your ice cream aliens invade, and you're forced to use your old skills once again you swore you would never use, but the twist is, the aliens... They are lactose intolerant, so you will use your skills from your past and your current life to end the invasion.
>>220334908
>>220334908I'd watch that. It needs a scene where he uses ice cream cones as weapons against a group of the aliens.
>>220334908As he traps an alien, he is about to fill it full of ice cream but just before he does he says>Did someone ask for Dessert?
>>220334682stallone is a real actor and the first rocky and first rambo are very straight, serious movies that depend on a good, genuine performance by the lead. later on he did movies like cop land where he holds his own among actors like harvey keiteland ray liotta
>>220334682Stallone literally started with Rocky, alphie.
>>220334908>lactose intolerant aliens invading small townim in
>>220334908Is there a scene where the lovable town idiot mistakenly believes the aliens' weakness is authentic Bulgarian miak?
>>220336402>only takes roles if he gets to say "nigger"based
>>220336497Wouldn't you?Imagine getting to say the naughty word that normalfags would (normally) crucify you for saying, but you still get worshipped by them like their wholesome chunguses Keanu Reeves and Jeff Goldbluhm.
>>220334076Casting the right man for the role always results in a better movie/show than casting someone with range.
Crank was so good
>>220335074>>220335074My favorite part of Cop Land was when he looked at the camera and said "I didn't hear no bell on account of being deaf". Then trips off his shoe laces until they used a body double to finish the scene.
>>220334076The last great actor, unironically
>>220334076>Make tens of millions of dollars for phoning it in>All the women want to suck and fuck him>All men envy him and baldies see him as a literal godLiterally what more could you ask for?
>>220336473Yes, but Jason quickly schools him on ice cream which shows the audience he isnt your normal ice cream man, he knows deep lore about ice cream, and how high butterfat content makes premium ice cream, which is much more lethal than regular ice cream to the aliens.
>>220334076I thought he was pretty good in revolver.
>>220335074>Stallone is a real actorNice bait but he ain't gettting an Academy Award ever
>>220334908> I also need you to make ice puns, one-liners in almost every death scene. Go crazy, go Mr. Freeze played by Arnold Schwarznegger.
>>220337647He literally has one
>>220334076I once met a nice lady who was really proud to have been in a film with him.based Statham
>>220334076Actually he can play at the very least 2 roles and even then there's some range to his performaces tooo bad he only does slopppiest slopa and revolver alone makes it so he's easily better than 3/4 actors alive today>>220334908unironically kinoI wish he made more goofy action stuff
>>220334076what kind of low test faggots hates Statham kino?
>>220334076I assume, when he was breaking into acting, he looked at the possible career paths and realized "action hero" was the best one. I imagine it is a great life>consistent couple of movies a year>always in a cool location>spend all his time training and learning cool stunts etc.>I imagine action slop movie sets are relaxed and fun
You don't need range when you do one thing better then almost anyone.
>>220334076Give me the must-watch statham kinos
>>220334076he knows his limitations as someone who fell into acting and stays within them, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
>>220338134The transporter The beekeeperThe mechanicThe working manThe janitorThe garbage manThe ice cream man
>>220334076>appears in the beginning of Collateralsuch a great cameo
>>220338249>No Crank 2
>>220337702>“Time to put these freaks on ice.”>“Brain freeze? Try death freeze.”>“You scream. They scream. Then they vaporize.”>“No mercy. Extra sprinkles.”>“Lactose intolerant? That sounds like a you problem.”>“Mess with the scoop, you get the cone.”>“You can’t outrun the sundae driver.”>“He’s got 31 flavors of pain.”
>>220334076Statham is funny and a genuine non cringe action hero i never connected with tom cruise or other actors like that i like this dudes no fucks given persona in his movies it's funny and the crank movies are legendary enough said
>no one mentioned snatchreally niggas?
>>220338761Same reason noone mentions lock stock, they aren't really Jason Statham films.
>>220338249>The transporter6 year old me in 2002 thought this was the coolest shit ever. https://youtu.be/GwiI6LKcemYIt's still rad.
>>220334076>Zero range He's literally a scarred small time grifter in Snatch. Also the dude can actual fucking act and chew scenery if he wants to like he did in the Cris Evans Jessica Biel movie London.
>>220336956even though i really like this movie fact is that statham is just doing the same>i'm doing a serious, stern growly whisper voice whilst looking stern and seriousthat he does in every other film. only difference is that he doesn't do any ass kicking in revolver
>>220338249Wild CardRedemption
>>220338249You forgot the jewish mindtricksterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPmCWEzbwcI
GIVE US CRANK 3 YOU PUSSIES
>>220338249An honorable mention should be The One (2001).Statham is in it, but it's a Jet Li movie. Still a fun action flick though.
>>220334129Dancing in leopard coloured underwear?
>>220339223What would the premise of Crank 3 be?Statham has to keep gooning or his head will explode?
>rangeWho gives a shit. I wanna see Statham in Statham films.
>>220338134SnatchRock 'n' RollaCrankCrank 2
Better than Sean Connery, he's carnyfolk
>>220334908>Statham runs over an alien in his truck>The car bumps and jumps over the body>Statham looks to the kid he just rescued>"Rocky Road...">Kid looks up and says "Sundae Driver!"
>>220334694
>>220339270Leopard PRINT underwear.
>>220334076I don't think that's really his own fault. He was typecast.
>>220339388He was definitely typecast, but he was smart to think, "Hey, at least I'll have a steady stream of roles for ever," rather than throwing a bitchfit and doing something stupid to ruin the chances of getting any roles.
>>220339344KINO!
>>220334076Meg 2what a film
>>220334908>Your sidekick is a highschool teenager named Lexi Belle who tried to sell you her body thinking you're with Bangbros, but who is now on the path to decent life.
Range: Bald
>>220339561At least he doesn't look like a pig.
>>220339270Awesome.
>>220339443Hubris often is the downfall of actors with heads bigger than their resumes.
>>220334076He's a character actor. He's there to play gruff british tough guy with a bit of charm because Vinnie Jones is retired.
>>220336806a full head of hair?
>>220339443you said that last thread and the last forty identical threads. do you have some spastic compulsion or are you just a chatbot
>>220334076pretty much, he's the same guy in every movie. some kind of badass assassin or hitman. all of his movies have the same vibe too.
>>220339773This is literally the first time I've posted in a Statham thread since that first Meg movie came out, schizo.Do you think it's possible that's a common opinion or am I living in your walls? Regardless, you need to kill yourself.
>>220334129Giving baldcels all over the world a reason to live. He deserves a Nobel Peace Price and Honorary Oscar for it. He has inspired hope on billions and saved more lives than probably anyone else in history.
>>220339841He's no bruce willis
Range is absolute bullshit. All the great actors have their own vibe and Statham has that too and that makes his movies kino.
>>220334076Always liked his movies. You know exactly what you're going to get and it never disappoints. I want him to be the next Bond, he'd fucking kill it.
You're literally me is Gosling. My literally me is Statham. We're not the same.
>>220334145range isnt a meme, its allowance to excel in differing roles. he is happily cemented into his singular role cause theres demand for it and he doesnt really want to be a dramatic actor.
>>220339285*recording on big screen tv turns on*YOU MUST BE ASKING YOURSELF WHAT HAPPENED. EASY. WE TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT. NOT THAT ANYONE, EVEN YOU, WOULD NOTICE. IT TURNS OUT YOUR HEART IS NOT THE ONLY SPECIAL ORGAN YOU HAVE. YOUR BRAIN AND THE WAY IT REGULATES YOUR ADRENALINE IS THE REAL KEY TO YOUR 'POWER'. NOW WE KNOW YOU WILL COME FOR US. WE EXPECT IT. WE COUNT ON IT.WHY? YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, EVEN IF YOU STILL HAD YOUR BRAIN.OH, ONE LAST THING. TO MAKE THINGS INTERESTING, WE REPLACED YOUR BRAIN WITH A TRUMP AI. IT MUST HAVE CONSTANT ATTENTION FROM THE PUBLIC OR IT EXPLODE AND IF YOU, EVEN FOR A SECOND, ADMIT A MISTAKE TO ANYONE, EVEN YOURSELF, IT WILL ALSO EXPLODE.
>>220340247"Rent free" is right lmao
>>220339953Who?
>>220339773>make the same shitty thread 40 times>get mad when you get the same response 40 timesStupid faggot
>>220334076He showed some range in Snatch, back when he cared.
>>220340076holy based
>>220334076>Does more martial arts in almost all of his films than VD or SS>isn't known as a martial arts guy
I don't get how more people in Hollywood don't make fun of him for being visibly balding.>uh but he could kick your assYea and while I'm lying on the ground bleeding out and coughing my teeth up, he will still be balding, which is MUCH worse.
>>220340821it happens to every man
>>220340821nobody cares about height or baldness irl those are excuses guys use online as cope to cover up for their shitty personalities scaring away friends and romantic partners.
>>220340936>nobody cares about height or baldness irl Hello, inferior worthless beta male.
>>220334076I've never watched any of the Crank films, are they any good?
>>220338249You forgot crank
>>220341003Stathem is 5'9 and balding yet he's rich, famous, and well-respected. Married with two kids. Loves what he does, and is good at it. You have nothing because you're a miserable little fag.
>>220341004Those are his best movies (followed by the transporter series)
>>220340936t. T4T
>>220341003>>220341111you will never know the touch or love of a woman
>>220341004yes they're kino
>>220341086>Stathem is 5'9 and baldingA literal turd on the side of the road is automatically superior to him by this alone
>>220340936So true. And men don't care about body weight, facial symmetry, wide hips, or large breasts.
We watch Jason Statham movies for being Jason Statham movies.We watch Nicholas Cage movies for being Jason Statham movies.And so on.
>>220341086he might not be tall and might be bald but he has a handsome face and he is genetically gifted to be an athlete.
>>220341086he got lucky>gets into diving>sucks complete ass at it>but gets scouted by a modeling agency>they don't like the results of his modeling>but Guy Ritchie happens to bump into him>casts him in two movies for pocket change>but bigger execs saw them and liked him>finally breaks into Hollywood
>>220339270Okay that's new to me. Guess he's not zero range after all
>>220338134Snatch
>>220341318>he is genetically gifted to be an athlete.he is literally a failed athlete and being 5'9 is a massive handicap in a fistfight
>>220341351nigga just because he didnt win any gold medals doesnt mean he isnt still in the top 1% athletically
>>220341351>being 5'9 is a massive handicap in a fistfightlol most of the greatest fighters in history have been 5'9" and 5'10" average height is the average for a reason.
>>220334076Kino
>>220338134The Transporter, Crank.
A spokesperson for the high street clothing chain said, "We chose Jason because we wanted our model to look like a normal guy. His look is just right for now: very masculine and not too male-modelly."[7] However, he was still forced to follow in his father's footsteps as a street seller to make ends meet, stating that he sold "fake perfume and jewellery on street corners"I like how this leads into him working with guy ritchie as pretty much what he did irl
>>220339223amy smart is too busy with horse cock, to film the third crank
>>220341644she should just film that then
>>220341688I agree
>>220334076He knows his strengths and he plays to themHow the fuck is this some sort of secret? I'll never understand how in acting today, playing to your strengths is suddenly some kind of bad thing.
>>220341004Yes, they are great “video game movies” that are not based on any video game. Hardcore Henry is also very good in that same category.
He's funny and he used to have good action sequences. He was basically rated R Jackie Chan which is probably why Statham is big in Asia.
>>220334145>No normal person gives a fuck.>normieswho cares what they think except for when you have to because you're in a workplace or some other reason?
>>220334076His best acting work was in Snatch, he played the wannabe gangster that’s in over his head quite well
>>220334562This anon gets it.
>>220343180He was really funny in those first two Guy Richie films. Great delivery for those lines. Wish he did more "comedic" roles
>>220334076What actor would be the opposite of that? Someone would insane range.
>>220334694haha
>>220343589Brad Pitt
He needs to go back to being in movies like Snatch and Lock Stock.
>>220340936danny devito detected
>>220340821He's not visibly balding, he IS bald. He's still very handsome.
>>220336728stallone is a genre as well. they both have a pretty good sense of humour. demolitian man was excellent. also stallone selfrepairs his falling apart anselm kiefer art, cause 'i paid two million for it'. both are hilarious in playing themselves, something that can't be said about pacino or de niro.
why does he never dive in any movie when he was an olympic diver before acting?
>>220334076>fucks the 18 year old
>>220344081Doesn't he dive in the mechanic?
>>220334908Statham as an ice cream man sounds kino desu
>>220343589Hugh Laurie
>>220337781all bets are off?
He can do action and can be funny, that's all you need
>>220344081Apparently he was pretty awful at it.
>>220338711He's a genuine martial artist with the dedication of an olympic athlete and the natural charisma of a market trader. Its a complete package for quippy action movies
>>220339690I didn't know Jones retired? Isn't he in The Gentlemen tv series?Anyway I want Statham to play Parker in the live action Thunderbirds movie. In fact I would start with an origin Parker and Lady Penelope movie first before introducing the Thunderbirds
>>220344081>I dive
Wrath of Man was his best movie
Where's me jam tart?
>>220334117fpbp. It's irrelevant. A lead actor only needs to connect to an audience through their on screen persona. As long as that leads to successful movies, then the actor is a successful lead, whether it be OP, Harrison Ford, or Dakota Johnson.
>>220339270Is this after Ricardo or does it pre-date him?
I really liked his bogged wife in Transformers 3

>>220344484https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrxH5n93CzMthe commentator is seething but that doesn't seem to bad
>>220346963Diving, like ice skating and gymnastics, is extremely harsh in its judging and what we see as a normal dive is full of glaring mistakes to the trained eye of a judge
>>220339270kinohttps://youtu.be/AvhgG9ee9Aw?t=27https://youtu.be/uWu3JqLMImY?t=36
>>220341334Kinda dishonest to frame it as him sucking ass at diving, dude must have been one of the best in the country to even try out for Olympics.
>>220336358>alphieI'll use that.
>>220336473>that vascularity>that facial physiognomysaddens me that this phenotype seems to be so rare. I miss unique looking actors.
i liked him in the bank job. not a bad movie that no one remembers
>>220346963There's something insanely offputting to me at seeing someone in excellent physical condition doing an extreme athletic feat and then it cuts to a judge panel of old and fat idiots that look like they can't walk 3 feet without falling over saying that he moved forward too far while in the air.
>>220344965Ricardo was early 2000's so this is prehistoric gachi.
>>220334908please god make this a reality
