Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A close look at The Ministery of Ungentlemanly Warfare director Guy Ritchie's recent filmography reveals he could be the hardest-working filmmaker in the business. Ritchie made his breakthrough with 1998's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, a British gangster comedy that also marked Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones' screen debuts.

The director hasn't slowed down since, jumping straight into failed franchise starter King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and he had two movies land in 2019: his live-action remake of Aladdin and action comedy The Gentlemen. Ritchie reunited with Statham for the first time in 16 years for 2021's Wrath of Man while the next Guy Ritchie/Jason Statham collaboration followed soon after with 2023's Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, another ensemble caper.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Inglourious Basterds share a cast member in actor Til Schweiger. Ritchie's Lock, Stock... also received a short-lived TV spinoff in 2000, though none of the original cast returned. The only other filmmaker matching Guy Ritchie's pace is Steven Soderbergh. Since 2017, Soderbergh has been on a dizzying run of movie projects, from Logan Lucky to Unsane, and Magic Mike's Last Dance; counting his 2024 horror Presence, Soderbergh has made nine movies in seven years.
