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'.

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.

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