Death Race/Crank/Snatch

Triple bill of films starring Jason Statham. 'Death Race' (2008) is a sci-fi action adventure based on Paul Bartel's 1975 film 'Death Race 2000'.

Statham stars as former racing driver Jensen Ames, who is sent to Terminal Island prison after being framed for the murder of his wife.

There, he is forced by the sadistic Warden Hennessey (Joan Allen) to compete in a lethal car race where the contestants must win or die.

In 'Crank' (2006) Statham is ace hitman Chev Chelios, who learns that he has been injected with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops below a certain point.

Racing against time, as well as his his own body, Chev must keep up the pressure as he tracks down the men responsible and exacts his violent revenge.

Writer/director Guy Ritchie continues in mockney gangster vein with 'Snatch' (2000), the follow-up to his 1998 hit 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'.

In London, en route to deliver a stolen diamond to his employer Avi (Dennis Farina), thief Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) is ambushed by Russian mobster Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia).

At the same time, boxing promoters Turkish (Statham) and Tommy (Stephen Graham) enter Irish gypsy fighter Mickey (Brad Pitt) in a fight run by local kingpin Brick Top (Alan Ford).

Instead of throwing the fight as arranged, Mickey earns Brick Top's enmity by beating his opponent fair and square.

Meanwhile, Avi travels to London and hires Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) to track down Franky and the diamond - which Brick Top has now found out about and decided to appropriate from Boris...
