The Beekeeper (2024 Jason Statham film)

[Butchers Blind]

What's most annoying about this film is that Stateman doesn't kill anyone with bees. I was hoping he'd shout, "BEES ASSEMBLE!" at some point and then the bees would form themselves into a massive foot and kick someone in the face.

Surely the twist should be that the bees come and form a protective cloud to catch him after he jumps out the window.

It's a ground floor window, so he just scurries off down a lawn.

[Blumf]

this cunt never kept a bee in his life.

The Beekeeper 2 : Taking the Apis

Hard man Statham has his bee keeping abilities questioned by a user on an insular internet forum. Vowing to track down the cheeky twat, he works his way through each and every member of the chatroom only to find they're more than happy to help, some even offering to call him an Uber.

Cast:
Wronged Beekeeper : Jason Statham
madhair60 : Wallace Shawn
Forum user offering a nice cup of tea : Rob Schneider

Beekeeper 2: Let's Get Some Ants!

[dead-ced-dead]

I think you're flattering Madhair with that casting, frankly.

Beekeeper III: The Leisure Hive


Aging Beekeeper- Statham
The Doctor - Dev out off of Corrie
Romana II - Emmy Rossum

[Butchers Blind]

Beekeeper IV: The BeeHeMoth

Statham and his bee friends fight a giant moth from destroying the city of Kent.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I just want to see him dance again.



Why has no enterprising director written a dancing scene in a film exclusively for the Stat? It'd be as iconic as Travolta in Pulp Fiction.

Shekeeper V - The Wokening

Female lead sequel, where the bees fight the birds.

[jobotic]

Some bloke behind me in the cinema clocked that as well and said in way that was too loud, "That's the old Sheppey bridge, guaranteed."
Apparently the whole film was shot in the UK.

Would like to see a Stateham film set in the Isle of Sheppey with him punching and kicking his way around the inbreds on the island.

Jason Statham is Swale Holt.

Statham's let one bee escape. Wouldn't 'bee' a problem except that it's really big.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

The film is generating some real buzz.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm laughing.

[dissolute ocelot]

Where's the Animal Liberation Front going around setting bees free? People shouldn't keep bees.

[Gulftastic]

Will the Stath's death-blow one liners all revolve around puns involving bees?

'To bee or not to bee...'
'Buzz off, creep.'

Etc...

[Mister Six]

At least one of those actually turns up in the film, but not said by Statham.

Someone says that to Statham before Statham smashes his head through a wall, I'm guessing?

[Mister Six]

More or less.

[Butchers Blind]

If you're into your pollinators you will be(e) disappointed by the film.  Despite what the film poster may imply...



...Statham is not a manimal type character made out of millions of bees.

I saw this the other day. This exchange had me howling:

Daughter of victim: I sense some British isles in your accent.
Jason Beekeeper: I was born there.

Which, in screenwriting terms means we have an actor who absolutely cannot do an American accent and we need to cover ourselves.

[George White]

But then they don't explain Jez Irons'  accent.

I suppose they knew Statham would be on board from the start as a producer of the film. And with this being shot in England with 1/2 of the cast doing dodgy accents, they couldn't have every cast member saying, "I was born in England too" "And me!" "I was born in Kent." "This elite cop unite is made up entirely of people who have transatlantic accents."

Beekeeper vs Beedophile

Watch out! Bee-dle's about!

Watch out! Bee-dle's about!

Tag line: You've heard of the long arm of the law, well meet it's tiny hand!

Love it when they do this in action films. They always used to get Van Damme's characters to mention that he was Cajun or French Canadian or something like that, although never actually Belgian strangely.
