Has any action star had greater output over the past decade than Jason Statham? The balding Brit with the lethal kick has been in over 20 movies since 2003, establishing himself as one of the most marketable stars working today. He got his start working with Guy Ritchie in comedy-crime movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, but has since pioneered his own brand of over-the-top ragers where the body count is high and the logic nonexistent.

Despite the length of his filmography, there's little diversity among the movies. If you see his name above the title, you know what to expect (Gnomeo & Juliet and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale aside).

To prepare for his upcoming film, Parker, hitting theaters this Friday, here's a look at the trademark Stathamisms that have made his career: 10 Things You’ll See in Every Jason Statham Movie.
