A Bad Ass On His Bicycle... See Statham -vs- Everything In This TRANSPORTER 3 Clip!!
Merrick here...
Jason Statham reprises his role as Frank Martin in TRANSPORTER 3.
Olivier Megaton directs this time around (everyone should have a name that cool) from a script by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (who wrote the first two films in the series).
The plot finds Frank wearing an explosive bracelet that'll detonate if he moves further than 75 feet from his vehicle.
Check out this exclusive clip from the film.
When I was a kid, I was constantly trying to do cool bike stuff like Frank's doing in this scene. And, I was constantly wiping out, bruising arms and legs, falling on my ass, and bashing my head in. Which, really, explains a whole helluva lot now that I think about it.

Off to bed...

approach they used with the last one. Makes the first one seem downright plausible. Yes, including the serendipity of finding a cropduster right next to the highway.
-
fwa ha ha
-
why?
-
opening night I'm in.
-
no, really.
-
at many points he is already 75 ft from the car. and cutting through the factory, like he knows his way around the place....what if the car stopped and he kept going inside? also, a stolen car would go much faster.
just saying. neat to look at but kind of ridiculous. -
Editing. Seriously.
-
Olivier megaton I think, is not a talented director, and Besson has only interest in money, and became a fat nabab. It's a shame everytime only Bessonised actioner reach U.S. Haven't you heard about "MESRINE : l'instinc de mort"?
-
band name.
-
Statham rules, and his rough voice sounds better than Bale's shitty grumbling...
-
Or a soda commercial. It would have been great if he left his coke in the cup holder.
"Nothing gets between me and the great taste of Coca-cola!" -
Can't wait for some mindless action, just wish the chick was hotter...
-
For the love of shit. I love the second film but Jesus Christ that shit was ridiculous. Michael Bay is jealous.
-
that I watched 15 mins and stopped the DVD player. So, as far as III goes-no chance in hell I'll be seeing it.
-
of even renting this movie. When are directors gonna learn that we are not stupid. Give us realistic fights and we will watch. This shit only works in superhero movies.
-
"oy, whai don' oy jus' taik me shir' awf"
-
.... its so bad it is brilliant!!
-
Transporter FTW!
I love The Stath and will watch him in anything. That's right, even in the horror known as Revolver.
The Transporter movies are stupid cinema at its finest and most retarded. Fuck poseur shit like Shoot Em Up and its smug, condescending ilk.
As far as I'm concerned they could keep making Transporter flicks forever. Wonderful drivel. -
Great cinema? No, and I know it. But it's fun watching Statham. The second one was WAY over the top with that scrape-the-bomb off the bottom of the car stunt (not to mention the "can you fly" leap out the window. Which is fine, but when you decide to make your protagonist a superhero, you lose some of that audience attachment. Unlike, say, the first Die Hard. But hey, that's the diff here--you walk in waiting to see Statham kick ass HIS way, and you just go along with the crazy ass sh1t
-
You got some red on you.
-
Shut your brain off and have fun. The first one was just a bore.
-
Guilty pleasure is what it is. We know it and boy does the film makers fucking know it! Strange thing is that Statham was first and foremost a proper fucking actor but is more than content to be the new kickass cult DVD king. Unlike Van Dam, Mathison, Lungren, Seagal, etc, he can go back to serious stuff when his star fades.
-
I know these movies are bad, but I love this shit and feel no guilt whatsoever! Statham is greatness embodied!
-
guy that give us Leon!!?? i mean WTF!! Leon has never been bettered in my book and he writes this shit...jesus
-
I recognize that kind of movies can be fun watching, but since Besson kind of fucked up movie production in france by making only pre-fab comcept movies it's always a bit frustrating to see that only these films are spotlighted abroad.
-
All of 'em.
-
Was distinctly underwhelmed by the second, hope this one is better.
-
people always write, "are they great cinema? no. but I enjoy them."kudos if you like them, but do you really need to qualify that for us? is anyone thinking these ARE great cinema? any Oscar buzz for the guy with the exploding bracelet? not so much.I wouldn't feel the need to say, "is surfing the same as winning the nobel prize? no, but I like it."qualifiers just make you sound cliched. these movies are retarded, full stop. if you enjoy it, more power to you, but you like something retarded. making a glib comment on it doesn't magically make them less retarded.and after the red bull buzz from this one wears off, it should be close to time for Transformers 2, so you should be all set for a while. wouldn't want you to have to rape your girlfriend in front of a crowd of japanese kids to keep your rush going...

copy and paste 'em. :)

BRILLIANT!!! I'm there opening night. Transporter films subscribe to the old HK actioner philosophy. A bunch of guys standing around saying "wouldn't it be cool if..?". They throw it out there and see what sticks, thankfully most of it does.
-
The conformist assholes can stick what the critics tell them. Proud member of the Statham ass kickery club United.
-
JJJJJJJJEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ I hate him when he does this crap. Yes we know you can fight, we know your body is better than everyone elses, we know your voice is cool as hell like bouncing pebbles on a base drum, we know you'll probably nail that hot red head in this movie... Ah fuck it I'm just bitter....
-
Most folks can't put together a fun action scene even if they tried. Transporter flicks pull it off everytime.
-
This guy needs to give it up.
-
The first one was original and cool. The second was complete garbage. How the hell did they get the $$$ and green light to make this movie?
-
I don't want to ruin it for us.
-
There's fun over the top and there's just stupid over the top. The first one was the former. The second was the latter. Seriously, flipping his car and taking the bomb off on a crane? The airplane swooping around like crazy with the completely anticlimactic fight scene? That ridiculous scrawny bitch with too much makeup? It was fucking awful. The first one was over the top, but not too much. It was stupid fun. The second one took it way too fucking far and sucked filthy ass.
-
No thinking. No confusing plot. Just Statham doing his thing. I love them!
-
What? That shit was tight.
-
so hes a pro bmx'er now eh?
-
..And Today, Is The Day I Transport. Statham takin' it to the max + a man named Olivier Megaton (seriously?) = OSCAR.
-
His time is running out to be a big star, he needs a real action franchise, he's certainly capable. Time to fire the agent and get a new one.
-
You and every red blooded male with a heartbeat.
-
The second just became a ridiculous cartoon with the impossible stunts, especially with the scene where Frank removes a bomb attached to his car's undercarriage by flipping the car in midair and hooking the bomb onto a crane before it explodes. I HOPE this new movie isn't more of the same.Stick with the ubercool martial arts/hand-to-hand stuff and keep the car stunts to driving really fast and plausible maneuvers. The more they pull Frank out of the "real world" and into Knight Rider/My-car-can-do-anything-land, the worse this series gets.PLEASE... just make Frank an ethical bad@$$ we can cheer for. No more seeing bullets coming and dodging them like Neo! :(
-
Who cares anyway when AVATAR is fucking our eyeballs in 2009?
-
I'm not trying to qualify or justify anything to anyone; I merely stated that to preface why I DO enjoy the movies. Because around here, if you like stuff like this, you could get slammed. So rather than defend myself after the fact, I come right out and say, look, I realize these flicks are just mindless ass-kicking fun which can be forgotten the instant you walk out the door. I'm not trying to suggest that in someone's universe they COULD be anything more than that, because it's not my place to argue anyone else's opinion for them.
-
Reading your post again, you sound a little jaded. Is there something wrong with liking a "retarded" action movie every once in a while? Isn't that why a lot of people go to the show--escapism? I'm not trying to make them "less retarded" with my comments. In fact, I'm not defending the merits of the movies at all. I simply stated that I like them for what they are, but also recognize what they are--the movie equivalent of a Snickers bar
-
Do you need a hug?Work gotcha down?Hi, my name is pillow talk and I LOVE retarded movies. I just watched Starship Troopers 3, which had a singing sky marshall, some nice ta-ta's, and exploding heads. I also recently just watched Zombie Strippers, which had some funny parts. The doctors say I'm doing better now, and perhaps I'll be able to accept visits from my family soon (crossing fingers).mmmm...snickers.

Who are you kidding, you had your eyeballs fucked a long time ago. Avatar will be getting sloppy seconds.
