Film Dept. of Jason Statham: At Last!
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 3:01 PM
It looks like Crank 2 is going to be the film that really captures all of Jason Statham's B-Movie sleazoid glory. I liked Crank a lot, but this looks like the real winner. The trailer is as NSFW as NSFW can be (no goatse, unfortunately. Maybe in the finished film.)
Now hopefully, after this one, Statham can get a real director to give him a respectability boost. He can't keep making Death Race over and over again, and he'll never be able to out-smarm Crank 2, from the looks of it.

Patton Oswalt has a hilarious post up right now about Statham: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseac…
"I don't know how much say he has in the films he makes. But I get the impression that he reads the scripts. And if the script doesn't make him want to drive a bulldozer through a cake store, I'll bet he punches the script through a wall."

Sleazoid as he may be, I find Jason Statham to be fantasically hot. I know that his breath smells like whiskey and cigarettes, and that he probably wears too much cologne to try and (unsuccessfully) cover up his man funk, and his face is all beaten and battered ... but DAMN. He can do me up the can anytime.

the world will not be happy until the world premiere of "Crank 69" starring Stathem, Daniel Craig, a gym mat and a bottle of Wesson Oil.

How is there a sequel to Crank? Stratham fucking jumped out of a plane without a parachute at the end of Crank. What retarded plot device brings him back to life?

My favorite incongruous-but-sexy Jason Statham biographical tidbit: "a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for twelve years" and "finished 12th in the World Championships in 1992" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Stath…). Could somebody get clips of that up on YouTube, please?

I believe that I saw Jenna Haze yelling "fucking tits" in that scene. Mark my words, that girl will the 21st century Traci Lords.
She is that hot and she does anal. Everything I look for in a porn star.

Statham may be getting mostly sleazy roles, but he's got some acting chops: Not only in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but another film called London where he played a currency trader with a coke problem, he played real, yet somewhat twisted, characters that weren't martial art killing machines.
