TRANSPORTER 3 Teaser Goes "Vroom" (Like A Car)!
Beaks here...
How do you make TRANSPORTER 3 more preposterously exciting than the first two? Three words: exploding metal bracelet.
This is precisely the level of invention I expect from a filmmaker whose last name commemorates "the 20th anniversary of the dropping of the Hiroshima A-bomb". I'm fairly certain I don't mean that as an insult.

Better than doughnutting the fuck out of my front yard...
by freakshowlee
I'll fuck some doughnuts in your back yard. ;-)

...*donuts*...
-
Had me all throbbing and erect for a second there, Beaks. What a tease.
-
wrong or right?
-
Didn't Snake Plissken have a similar device on his wrist to countdown the virus they had given him? Oh the originality...bomb, virus whatever.
-
A-bombs had a yield in kilotons, H-bombs in megatons.
-
Transporter 3 = (Crank - Transporter 1)X
X = Gayness -
That Bunny Movie came in number one of Friday. Death Race is number 3 (Statham is losing his box office drawing power), Clone Wars is number 7...and now officially a bomb, and The Rocker is number 11.
-
wooooooo woooooooooo?
-
now what the fuck has that got to do with anything? Itto Ogami loses Daigoro, you are right.
-
Since when? Did I miss something?
-
not something i'll see in theaters but definately check it out on tv.
-
This isn't transporter 3... this is like transporter 5 or 6 now. Look at his other movies; transporter in medieval times and transporter in prison.
-
He's got enough going for him to be a huge action star, Hollywood doesn't seem to know what to do with him.
-
I WANT HER NOW...!!!
-
"With you, it's always complicated."
BAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Uh, buh. -
Although it looks incredibly shallow, i do still enjoy movies such as this one. One is almost glad, in this world of political correctness and what have you, that there are still movies out there showing real men performing heroic tasks.I would certainly watch this. Sometimes you have to eat at a fast food restaurant rather than a top of the range eating establishment and the same applies to movies such as this one.
-
That would have been a better franchise for him. And he shouldn't have ever accepted a call from Uwe Boll.
-
Blows SH!T UP! Also, to kick your ass I need to take my shirt off first... YAY! Is that gay? Maybe, but hey, if my nipples don't get you, my fists will. A hot redheaded girl in your car, complicated? Dang boy, that one should be simple, bop, rinse, and repeat. It's gay if she is a complication... Oh ya, watch out for that perved-kid-lovin-freak from Prison Break too, he is in this nastiness as well. Don't be afraid of his badness, he has none, be afraid he may crack out that SH!T Russian access he pulled out for that Hitman film he stank up. Oh ya, bring on Crank 2, with more public newspaper box humping with Amy Smart... yippy.

That's why he was hired to lead Death Race, but that all changed thanks to his last several films. The more high profile of which, he seemed to be doing for just a check.But Paul WS Anderson, has chased away fans looking for nostagia from movies he has based on previous hit or cult films and or video games. His problem is, he is up to the old game of stealing the authorship of a writer or writers, and or, any original piece by doing aways vague variation of what the original was...thus allowing him to introduce his own characters and concepts so he owns them, and thus the marketing rights to them, and any royalty points from them and the films, therein, this to the detriment of the overall so called adaptions and remakes. All Anderson has been doing is licensing the titles of movies and video games, and giving us movies that loosely resemble the original properties so he can make an extra buck. This wasn't a remake of Death Race 2000, it was just a completely different movie that just used the title of the film, in part, and a few concepts like the name of Frankenstein...and that's it. That would be like making a car racing movie, and then after you finish, you contact the studio that owns the rghts to The Road Warrior and paying them to use the title above the credits of your completely unrelated movie.

adrenaline music dont get any better

he seems to have set his sights pretty low, but what the hell, we needed a good B-movie action star. the Rock and Vin Diesel were too busy trying to be real actors.

Another cretin? But his name should be just "Megaton".

Otherwise, he seems to fit perfectly with Pitof, K.A.O.S., mink and McG.

Statham is the embodiment of Hollywood's need to import tough guys, because all the American action actors are limp-wristed, metrosexual nancy boys who couldn't intimidate a kitten.
That's why, when tough is needed, you need to import it from Statham, or just about any actor from Australia?
Heck, even your WWE tough guys are only faux-tough. What's up with that? -
blockbuster does too.
-
Just thought I'd ask since him and the director of the prior film claimed that his character was the first gay action character. If so, maybe he should bring aboard John Barrowman as his partner. Then Joe Blow in the audience will mistakenly think Tom Cruise is in it. Anyway, I hope they cut out the ridiculous - and poorly done - CGI from the previous flick. And *Crank* sucked.
-
Where are our generations John Wayne's, Robert Mitchum's, Humphrey Bogart's, Lee Marvin's, Clint Eastwood's etc. etc.??
-
It just stalls and does nothing when i press play. Not a big deal, I've seen a couple teasers already, I'm looking forward to it anyway. And Death Race is awesome trash, I enjoyed it!

I honestly don't understand the excitement for this franchise.
by a goonie
It seems to have a lot of fans (apparently many of whom write for AICN), but I just can't find much to love in this ongoing action franchise about a douchebag transporting stuff. I'm not a fan of Statham, so I guess that causes an issue right off the bat. But I did enjoy him in the preposterous-but-fun Crank, so he's not all bad. As an action star, he's better than, well, Hayden Christensen, at least. That must count for something. But really, I fucking hated the first Transporter flick (lame story, almost as lame action, such as the slippery oil fight) and the second Transporter wasn't much of an improvement. That whole story about Statham having to protect that rich family and his relationship with the kid... ugh. To me, these movies are pussified crap masquerading as badass action flicks. I'll probably check out this third installment at some point, in hopes that it will actually attain an impressive level of cool, but my expectations are in the basement right now.

"Harry's creepy obsession with ScriptGirl's boobs is still of concern." Right there on Wiki. http://tinyurl.com/6axdb6 In the Controversy paragraph.
-
He fucked Shu Qi (lucky bastard!) in the first movie.
-
The first two movies were great eye candy and heaps of fun to watch. The man is simply 'cool' in these.
-
These movies are admirably retarded. I wouldn't say either are worth watching twice or anything, but I like how stupid the action gets. The first movie should've only been twenty minutes long, ending with him getting revenge on the guys who blew up his car. These movies are really nothing new, though. They're exactly what mediocre HK film was doing post-John Woo.
-
It was a joke started by the director of the first two, Louis leterrier. When Jason Statham was asked about it, he laughed and said it was news to him.
-
...Statham and Hollywood still haven't found a match for each other. In the meantime,he's headlining preposterously entertaining B movies. Frankly, there are worse ways to spend your days.
-
When I watch other action movies now, I invariably think they would have been better if Jason Statham was the lead - Shoot Em Up and Hitman being two examples. What sets him apart as an action hero, apart from his fighting style looking like it would actually hurt, is that like Schwarzenegger in his prime he can sell a tough/stupid line perfectly. When Clive Owen tried to say one liners I just felt embarrassed for him. When Statham says a dumb line he says it like he doesn't give a shit how dumb you think it is, which makes it much funnier.
-
how many kids you think gonna see this confused by the nomenclature involved?
-
Too bad it has a ghostwriter, since Jason Statham says "Literacy's for pu$$ies!"Good thing he can beat people up and snarl on cue. :)
-
(diving champion back in the day), then worked as a male model then shifted into the snarly-mouthed chopsocky business. Basically, they can't pay the man enough. And there's an ounce of integrity in what he's doing. He's not showboating, he's not being self-consciously 'funny'. He's doing badass shit to mofos who deserve it on the screen. And he's wise enough to refuse to act American (see his woeful accents in GHOTS OF MARS and THE ONE) to concentrate on more snarling, coolness and suitwearing before taking said suit off and roundhousing some more handily-lined up redshirts. Bless him, and long may he reign as the go-to guy for cinema-release fisticuffs.

An edit button would be the end of talkback.

Am I mistaken or is this a platform for nonsensical blabbing... 80% of it makes no sense and don't even try to.
-
Like Michael Caine, he can sell any part no matter how awful the movie (see Revolver). The Transporter films (and Crank) are fantastically and howlingly retarded but beautifully so. Shoot 'Em Up, by contrast, is a crass, smug, insulting, faux-cool piece of shit PRETENDING to be retarded in the same way, which I find hideously offensive. I absolutely loathe Shoot 'Em Up as much as I love the Transporter. Bring on 3!
On a related note, how satisfying was it when Statham beat the shit out of David Suchet and Craig Fairbrass at the end of The Bank Job? Niiiiiice.... -
why do i love these transporter movies so much when deep down i feel like they arent very good at all or like im getting the same movie over and over? this one is like they combined the "race against time element" of crank and added it to transporter. the shit he does with guy ritchie is out of this world though. but thats a whole new story
-
Wrong twice. revolver was awsome and incredibly underrated. and shoot'em up was fuckin sweet. apologize to Clive Owen you hater of beauty.
-
Revolver was beautifully shot, amazingly cast, impenetrable twaddle, whereas Shoot 'Em Up was unmitigated, self-congratulatory shit.
-
T2 Sucked as much as an action movie with potential could have sucked. Now they dare make a third? Please tell me that's not the guy from Prison Break. Robert Knepper is it? That scrawny little bastard? Really? I could kick his ass with my pinky. Jason, if you're listening, do your career some justice and demand that this flick doesn't suck.
-
...OH YES!
-
every other GTA4 trailer has that song.
-
I knew I could count on you. Saint Aldo and Saint Salmi smile upon thee.
-
WTF? T-Bag from Prison Break? Haha. I liked Transporter 1, thought 2 was a let-down, but this looks cool. I'll see it just like I saw the other two.
-
riiight..we have ignorant reviewers in aicn like mr capone,now we have racists too...this site gets better and better..:/
-
Statham shouldn't have to be in crap like this.
-
Does noone remember Snatch? Stratham is the shit...
-
since well ever. But this just brings him back to his generic shit once again (don't forget Death Race).
Fucking hell, his agent needs to get transported to hell. -
...permanently grafted to the bottom of his left foot?
-
I like that this looks more like the first one. The thinner the plot device, the better. Just get him kicking people in the head and whatnot and it's all good. I'm thinking a Tony Jaa-like plot sounds about right.
-
You are aware that Statham has a big homo following? Larger than any of the "pretty boys" you claim rule today's action scene (who are these people? I can only think of Shia LeBeouf and Josh Hartnett).
I certainly wouldn't call Will Smith a pretty boy metrosexual, and he is clearly, by far, the top action star of recent times.
Now, much as I crush on Statham, he will never be A-list. Sorry! But if Transformer 3 is half as good as 2, it will rock out! And, as mentioned, not everyone has to be A-list, big-budget studio product. I appreciate the appeal of the B-list. -
I blame the movies rather than a lack of any tough guy actors. I don't think it's that Brad Pitt and Mark Wahlberg can't be Steve McQueen, I think it's that Steve McQueen wouldn't be Steve McQueen if they were putting him in the kind of focus-tested family safe PG13 action movies and thrillers we have today.
