DStv’s sports channel SuperSport 1’s festival of the greatest sports movies of all time continues from Tuesday to Thursday this week with Mean Machine, The Edge and Steve McQueen – The Man and his Le Mans.

Archetypal football bad boy Vinnie Jones is the star of Mean Machine on Tuesday, a 2001 comedy-drama directed by Barry Skolnick.

Mean Machine, which also features current action movie favourite Jason Statham, is a fun football romp with its tongue firmly in its cheek and features some ludicrously dirty on-field play from Jones — basically what he was renowned for throughout his professional football career!

Wednesday April 29 is headlined by The Edge, a 2019 documentary film, which shows cricket as you’ve never seen it before.

DStv viewers can round out this month on Thursday with the documentary Steve McQueen – The Man and his Le Mans.

This 2015 film, directed by Gabriel Clarke and John McKenna, focuses on the turbulent production of McQueen’s motor racing classic Le Mans.
