About The Mechanic
The Mechanic follows hitman Arthur Bishop staging deaths as accidents. The 1972 Charles Bronson original ends with its famous boat twist. The 2011 Statham remake retells it, and Mechanic: Resurrection (2016) continues the remake continuity in Southeast Asia.
Watch the original first for the twist, then the remakes as a separate pair.
Good to know
The remake changes the ending setup, so treat 1972 and 2011 as two versions of one story plus one sequel.
