- Gruffy, deep Australian accent
- Tall, stocky appearance
- Hailed by Quentin Tarantino as the best Australian actor
- Ironically, he doesn't like horror movies.
- Was strongly considered for the role of Stuntman Mike in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007), but due to Grindhouse (2007) co-director Robert Rodriguez urging, Tarantino ultimately decided to give the role to 'Kurt Russell.' Tarantino then wrote Jarratt a small but memorable role in Django Unchained (2012).
- A carpenter/builder by trade who worked on the council at the same time he was making movies.
- In the mid-late 1990s, he was well-known in Australia for co-hosting the Home and Lifestyle TV program, Better Homes and Gardens (1995), with his then-wife, Noni Hazlehurst, from their home. During the show's run, the high-profile couple divorced and John left the show, with Noni staying on as a host until 2004.
- Psycho (1960) was the one that really got me. That was made in the early '60s, so that was my first scary movie,
