I enjoyed the original with one cavet. When they blow up the building they used really bad CGI when all they needed to do was make a model and blow it up old school style. Seems silly but CGI really bugs me and bad CGI is infuriating

I'm going to choose to assume this movie is not a sequel but rather the missing second half of The Beekeper (2024). Some people say there was a second half of The Beekeeper (2024). Those people are lying, or are suckers who fell for what was clearly a poorly judged practical joke.

I could accept tinker/genius material done in the MacGuyver way.

...not gonna lie I am concerned that Kurt Wimmer is not attached to this.

Well now I have no choice but to watch it.

OMG the beekeeper 2!!! 🙌

First, they bought the Elm Tree Homes. Then, they sold the land from under them & forced exorbitant rents down their throats. But, they didn't count on,,,The Beekeeper

They scammed a disabled retirement community out of $100,000's with a Rascal scam. But they didn't count on....The Beekeeper.

I hope he convinces Joe Namath and Tom Selleck of "The Error of Their Ways"

Ever since he screamed "Take this panzerfaust!" at me in the original Call of Duty, I've been captivated.

"keep me a million miles away from your 'Metaverse Meth Lab' or whatever it is" lol thank you, Jeremy Irons

The whole burning the call centre to the ground bit was perfect. Wondered if the portrayal of what was very obviously Teamviewer as a tool of the bad guys was actionable.

He fills a niche that Dolph did in the 80'-90's for me.

Awwwww yeah

"You sound young. You probably don't have estate planning."

He is a national treasure. The US has Nick Cage. Britain has this fucking nutter.

Every Statham movie is the exact same formula: - Statham just wants to be left alone - Bad person(s) won't leave him or someone he loves alone - He asks them to stop - They do not stop - Statham must now go on a murder rampage - Also: Statham is a retired CIA/MI5/Super Agent Man And I _love_ it.

I still haven't gotten around to the first one! FFS.

I shall forever be indebted to you for the term "justice - hobo" My profound thanks 👍

I gotta watch that.

My original comment: they found a class of person even more widely despised than a dog-killing car thief.

The Beekeeper is just so cathartic in the day and age of everything being a scam.

Now he’s in the ‘mainly sitting down’ phase.

part of the jason statham cinematic universe

I HAVE NFTS!!! vrooooom aaaaa

The first one was so much fun. Yeah, it's the dumbest of dumb action movies, but making the villains phone scammers and crypto bros gave it a level of catharsis that Aristotle would be proud of.

I still want Crank 3 tho

Between the Beekeeper…franchise (I guess?), Wild Mountain Thyme, and The Rivals of Amziah King - we are sure getting treated to a lot of…very odd movies about bees.

The original has Statham fending off a minigun firing assassin by throwing a jar of honey directly at her fucking skull, and then setting her on fire. Then the assassin group after him IMMEDIATELY call up the bad guy to go "Nah we can't deal with this dude bruh." Fuckin CINEMA.

that scene was so deeply satisfying.

The most insane part of that movie is that although it took a few minor liberties, modtly with the people doing it, the mechanics of the scam that opens Beekeper are more accurate than most news coverage of financial scams.

I absolutely love when an actor is just like "You know what? Being typecast fucking rules, actually."

I need another MEG movie

The thing I like about the first Beekeeper movie is that it's got 5 minutes of setup and then it's straight Statham killing people and the plot escalating to a ridiculous degree. It's a very "we know what you are here to see" movie

I can't overstate exactly how hard I laughed at that moment.

we need painting of the bald dude action star torch being passed! these are spoilers i appreciate - i will now see beekeeper 1

Spy is brilliant

My favorite performance. Also the blooper reel is hilarious because he keeps breaking character.

Didn't it go from Bruce to Jason seamlessly? What other bald guy is just starting to make films that is ready to go?

Statham himself did a fair job of replacing pre-aspasia Bruce Willis nearly seamlessly. Time generally flows in favor of male pattern baldness, so there figure to be quite a few irons in the fire.

The worst possible thing that could happen (for me personally) is if it turned out Statham had copied Charles Bronson’s politics, and not just his oeuvre

We need to keep Taron Egerton shaved

With modern hair replacement, are we losing a part of culture? What if there are no future bald, by nature, heros?

Buzz Harder

Jason Statham Forever.

Top 5 all time for best movies to watch on a long flight

Yay! So excited for #2 🐝

I occasionally go back just to watch the highlights of that movie. In particular, when he just ruthlessly beats the crap out of various scammers.

A couple years ago I watched this on an international flight, then watched it again on the return flight home
