In 1998 Vinnie Jones made his film debut in Guy Ritchie's crime comedy Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, in which he played a mob enforcer, Big Chris.
Jones was typecast in similar roles as criminals or villains, including the dapper gun-for-hire "Bullet-Tooth Tony" in Ritchie's 2000 follow up Snatch.
Jones became known to American audiences in the 2000 film remake of Gone in 60 Seconds, in which he played "Sphinx".
Although this was a major role with significant screen time, he only had one line of dialogue because his character was a silent, tough brawler.
He teamed up with director Dominic Sena again the following year for the thriller Swordfish, where Jones played one of John Travolta's ruthless henchmen.

Jones played Danny Meehan in Mean Machine, a 2001 British remake of the Burt Reynolds film The Longest Yard (retitled Mean Machine for its UK release).

He played another football role as Mad Maynard, the leader of a Manchester United football hooligan firm, in the 2004 film EuroTrip.
His next role was in the 2006 film, X-Men: The Last Stand, as the X-Men villain Cain Marko/Juggernaut.
Jones said that he would like to play Juggernaut in a spin-off.
His line in the film, "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!,"
was based on a pre-existing Internet parody.
 The same year, he was featured in another football film, She's the Man as the coach of the Illyria team.
In 2007, he played the part of McStarley in The Condemned, about death row inmates forced to fight to the death on a remote island.
