THAT NIGGA GAY by birdy birdman	Jun 10th, 2008 09:07:43 AM

It'd be good if michael bay by michael bay sucks awesome	Jun 10th, 2008 09:08:07 AM
Directed it
on a serious note by birdy birdman	Jun 10th, 2008 09:08:57 AM
was that really supposed to be the character from the transporter delivering the briefcase to Vincent at the beginning of Collateral?
Jason Statham... by mefrog	Jun 10th, 2008 09:09:40 AM
...always seems to have some kind of ticking bomb attatched to his body. That said, this trailer gave me a fucking headache. Too many quick cuts.
why I do believe by Jarek	Jun 10th, 2008 09:09:58 AM
Having TBag in it will make the flick a little better. However, it looks like they took the ticking time bomb plot of Crank and added it to this franchise. Lightning doesn't strike twice, I don't think.
Michael Bay has achieved greatness by michael bay sucks awesome	Jun 10th, 2008 09:10:20 AM
When it comes to movies. In terms of directing he demands greatness.
YES! by Marillion	Jun 10th, 2008 09:12:35 AM
As much as sequels suck these days, I'm actually really looking forward to this one...
Let's hope by The Harp	Jun 10th, 2008 09:13:02 AM
... they took all the cool from the first two movies, jettisoned the cheese, and made a decent flick. If not, I hope it's closer to the original in tone than to Transporter 2.
Transporter... by tomdolan04	Jun 10th, 2008 09:17:27 AM
Good film, enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. One of those cheap bargin supermarket DVD's you pick up on the off chance. Likewise the Trasnporter 2 in its own silly way. In terms of cinematic value I'd rather have The Transporter 3 than a remake of My Fair Lady or whatever the remake story of the hour is. Hell in terms of naff action frolics I saw Speed 2 only recently and in terms of laughing my ass off at naffness, I enjoyed the truly bat-shit insane retardness of it. Jason Statham should appear in the adaptation of Gone...
Luc Besson needs to get off his French ass. by RADIOACTIVEBART	Jun 10th, 2008 09:22:53 AM
He needs to stop doing everything else but direct films. The Transporter concept is a good one, but the execution has sucked balls so far. Luc Besson should direct the film instead. I didn't even know they were making a third one.
RADIOACTIVEBART by WickedJester	Jun 10th, 2008 09:27:47 AM
Because it made money... Honestly, there's not too many action vehicles (no pun intended) that are worth it anymore. I'll take this over Mission Impossible IV...
Cool, I'm down for that by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 10th, 2008 09:28:30 AM
the other two were fun, and didn't pretend to be anything cerebral. Just fun, fast eyecandy. But everyone should go watch "The Protector" first
More shirtless Jason Statham! by Itto Ogami loses Daigoro	Jun 10th, 2008 09:33:02 AM
So you could see the man is in shape! I guess him doing this movie isn't going to be any worse than headlining another Uwe Boll feature no?
I wish my name was Oliver Megaton. by Knuckleduster	Jun 10th, 2008 09:40:06 AM
Transporter 3? Oh, why the hell not...
T-BAGS! by Series7	Jun 10th, 2008 09:49:37 AM

Hopefully... by WelcoMatt	Jun 10th, 2008 09:51:16 AM
This will suck even harder than Transporter 2!!!
Yeah, a teaser for Crank 2!!!! by Marsellus	Jun 10th, 2008 09:58:10 AM
Oops. Mistake.
Looks awesome by O_Goncho	Jun 10th, 2008 10:11:28 AM
Glad to see they're moving the film back to France where hopefully there'll be less emphasis on cheesy American melodrama and lingering flag shots and more emphasis on the Stath slotting women, looking cool, and killing people in all manner of twisty, hose-chucking ways.
I can see why people hate these films by O_Goncho	Jun 10th, 2008 10:16:08 AM
But I don't; the world needs stupid action films that actually deliver on the stupid action front, and Jason Statham is the master of that particular art. Also, Chev Chelios is nothing like Frank Martin.
MEGATON GOTTA EAT! by BatPsycho	Jun 10th, 2008 10:21:14 AM

Looks like a by Series7	Jun 10th, 2008 10:23:12 AM
Series where the third one won't suck? Maybe? Bomb on arm?
T-Bag and Megatron by photoboy	Jun 10th, 2008 10:35:50 AM
This film cannot fail it's so full of win! I really liked the first film, but the second had too much silly CGI. From the teaser this looks like it should be more of a return to the first film's style. I hope it's set in Europe again, the US setting didn't help to distinguish the second film either.
Just what we need - more of this FUCKING SHIT. by Steve Rogers	Jun 10th, 2008 10:36:01 AM
Seriously, stop making these shitty movies. They are terrible. Transporter 2 was utterly awful. Leterrier needs to do a lot with Hulk to redeeem himself in my eyes.
French Dark Knight by kafka07	Jun 10th, 2008 11:04:32 AM
that link took me to a DK trailer dubbed in French. The French Joker sounded really weird.
No Shu Qi? by Nasty In The Pasty	Jun 10th, 2008 11:21:27 AM
Phooey. :(
Cinema Verite by Aquatarkusman	Jun 10th, 2008 11:26:17 AM
I want a low-key Transporter, like he's transporting somebody's Thai food from a restaurant to a brownstone, then he finds out it's a fake address and spends the rest of the film eating, smoking out, and shitting.
Jason Statham is the caucasian Jackie Chan by Bill Clay	Jun 10th, 2008 11:31:13 AM
I don't know if we need a Wonder Bread version of Jackie, but Statham fits the niche capably.
Megaton Night Shyamalan by Diagnostic	Jun 10th, 2008 11:53:42 AM
Megaton is almost as good as T-100 for a name.
Aquatarkusman by Knuckleduster	Jun 10th, 2008 12:18:09 PM
I like that idea. Kevin Smith to direct?
Hey guys, what's 'hip' at the moment? by loafroaster	Jun 10th, 2008 12:27:17 PM
BMXing? Okay, chuck it in!
I like part 2 way better than 1 by Vern	Jun 10th, 2008 12:34:51 PM
The first one had Statham and some cool fight gimmicks, but it took the plot too seriously for such corny bullshit. Always talking about his "rules" and shit. Part 2 knew exactly what to do, it shitcanned a half hour of seriousness, leaving a lean 87 minutes of ridicuawesome. I must've rewound the bomb/car/crane bit 4 or 5 times. And a guy uses a skeleton as a weapon. And that chick with the raccoon eyes has a bunch of spikes on the wall in her apartment for some reason. Good shit. But wasn't he supposed to be gay in part 2? This one looks like he might be straight again, so it might be more like part 1.
Ahh I'm sold, I'm afraid by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 12:37:35 PM
I loves me some Statham. Vern will write a book one day. You watch my words: STATHAMOLOGY: HOW ONE SCRAWNY LIMEY KICKED ALL KINDS OF UNHOLY ASS. Even if his Merkin accent stinks.
Statham's, that it by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 12:38:16 PM
Never spoken to Vern so can't comment on his vowel sounds.
See? Vern's all over this like a motherfucker by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 12:39:13 PM

@Vern: WTF? by Dreamseller	Jun 10th, 2008 12:42:02 PM
LOL
Shhh, palimpsest. by Knuckleduster	Jun 10th, 2008 12:48:46 PM
Don't give him any ideas.
Statham Can't Top... by BoggyCreekBeast	Jun 10th, 2008 01:01:04 PM
His craptacular SELL OUT in Uwe's Uber-Opus! Top THAT, Megaton!
Fair point, Knuckleduster by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 01:04:46 PM
Mebbe I'll shush...
Surely if you were Mr and Mrs Megaton by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 01:12:55 PM
looking to name their child, you'd do better than "Oliver". Could have been worse, though. What if their favourite musical had been "My Fair Lady"?
Or "Brigadoon" by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 01:13:45 PM
A Film by Brigadoon Megaton...
Same old stupid shit: by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 10th, 2008 01:15:46 PM
Fight sequences: good Every other action scene (especially when involving cars): complete and utter shit Dialogue: laughably bad ("With you it's always complicated" ?!? Which dozen movies did they stole that from?)
Transporter movies go ok with a beer or two by L. Ron Bumquist	Jun 10th, 2008 01:17:30 PM
but they ain't no Crank.
Oh yes. by DocPazuzu	Jun 10th, 2008 02:51:50 PM
The Transporter films are great. They're crap, but FANTASTIC crap. Whereas Shoot 'Em Up was smug and pretending to be retarded, thus being condescending to the viewer, the Transporter films are full-on, 100%, Grade-A retarded and make no apologies for it. There isn't one single wink to the audience which makes the ludicrous action even more glorious. I'll watch Statham in anything, but the way he plays the Transporter, completely straight-faced, is what makes him so compelling amid all the cacophonous, asskicking lunacy. Transporter 3? I'm so there.

P.S. After hearing about "Nuking the Fridge" by Iowa Snot Client	Jun 10th, 2008 03:07:22 PM
The very first thing that came to mind was that car/bomb/crane gag from Transporter 2. I can believe anything but that (haven't seen Indy 4 yet).
If Jason Statham by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 03:20:13 PM
his in a lead-lined fridge to protect himself from an atomic test blast that he had blundered into only to be rocketed across the countryside to land next to a CGI gopher, I'd respect his stubbly intensity and buy it completely. Of course, he'd take his shirt off and beat the gopher to death with a bicycle chain, but that's Statham for you.
hid, not his by palimpsest	Jun 10th, 2008 03:21:11 PM

The best thing about Transporter flicks... by DocPazuzu	Jun 10th, 2008 04:17:43 PM
...is that because of their retardedness, they can make an endless amount of them. There are no childhoods to be raped and they are impervious to rational critique. All they need is a scowling Statham in a suit (or bare-chested) engaging in ridiculous car chases and beating the shit out of armies of goons with unlikely implements. Gold!
Looks better than 2 by barnaby jones	Jun 10th, 2008 04:19:25 PM
hopefully it will be too !
Prochainement!!! by AdmiralNeck	Jun 10th, 2008 04:27:51 PM
Why put the bomb on his wrist when it could quite happily be shoved into his ribcage? The thing I like most about The Transporter movies is that the main character has the best kind of OCD possible, not the life-crippling kind that afflicted Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets. Here, Frank's OCD makes him the most hardcore badass motherfucker in all of Europe. What a berserk gimmick for an action hero.
Liked the first one, couldn't stand the second one by superunknown85	Jun 10th, 2008 04:30:31 PM
This one looks...meh.
I'm not gay... by Mistahtibbs	Jun 10th, 2008 04:33:30 PM
but, damn, that Statham fella looks good with his shirt off. No man-boobs there, no siree. *looks down at flabby chest and sighs
Having endured... by Tourist	Jun 10th, 2008 05:21:47 PM
...Arthur and the parasites and Angel A, I think its best that Besson never direct again. Just keep pumping out the modern day Cannon quality cheese. I love em. Even his Liam Neeson one looks awesome. Mindless violent fun. His crews do good work. From the french language schlock of B13 to english language schlock like Danny The Dog. Compared to the Paul W.S. Andersons, Xavier Gens or Timur Bekmambetov's of the world the dudes are cinematic gods.
Someone just nailed Shoot Em Up... by Tourist	Jun 10th, 2008 05:28:59 PM
...Imagine going to a party watching someone with Down Syndrome dance to Huey Lewis and the news. Thats Crank, The Transporter, Statham Vehicles in general. Now imagine watching a grown man from an affluent background get drunk and pretend to be a person with Down Syndrome dancing to Huey Lewis and the news at a party. Thats Shoot Em Up.
NOOOOOO!!!!! The first...Spoilers by Roketopunch	Jun 10th, 2008 05:29:35 PM
was OK. I was entertained but oh god, the 2nd Transporter was like watching a Shaq movie. One thing still plagues me. At the end of Trans2 did he climb aboard a plane after driving through a billboard. I had to stop the movie after we see him on the plane. I rewatched numerous times the billboard crash to the point where he's on the plane. There is no explanation. Has got to be one of the most Fk'ing retarded things I've seen.
Is the star from District B13 in this??? by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 10th, 2008 07:45:46 PM
I hope so, 'cause Cyril Raffaelli's a human kick-boxing monkey on crack! :D
"SEE IT HERE!!!" sigh, do i have too? by Orionsangels	Jun 10th, 2008 07:48:48 PM

CAN'T F'N WAIT!! by SkidMarkedUndies	Jun 10th, 2008 08:12:02 PM
AWESOME!!! Love the Transporter Series. GREAT FUN.
FUCKING A, where the A stands for AWESOME by Harry Weinstein	Jun 10th, 2008 08:31:44 PM
More TRANSPORTER is always welcome. Count me in with the TRANSPORTER 2 fans - absolute mid-90s Hong Kong-style madness with enough brazen homoeroticism to call back to the American action cinema of the 80s. The original tried too hard to be a real movie. TRANSPORTER 2 is too busy murdering REALITY ITSELF to concern itself with such things. And now part 3, directed by a man named Oliver Megaton. With a name like Oliver Megaton, you better bring the fucking action.
re Cyril Raffaelli by DocPazuzu	Jun 10th, 2008 08:52:08 PM
Man, the prolonged casino fight in B13 is one of the geatest cinematic beatdowns I've ever seen. Just when you think Raffaelli has exhausted every conceivable way to fuck someone up -- BAM! -- another hilarious and brutal bitchsmack.
I'll watch this by proper	Jun 10th, 2008 09:28:54 PM
My favourite bit in Transporter 2 is when the mans head is stuck in the porthole of the boat and the transporter kicks him in the groin,the reaction was priceless,I had to rewind that at least 3 times,tremendous,that should be his special move in any future films..
Part 2 has the better fight scenes by O_Goncho	Jun 10th, 2008 09:57:58 PM
...but it built them around a cheesy, melodramatic Man on Fire farce so woefully bad that to me I still prefer the stripped down coolness of the first film. So if I just want to watch the fight scenes again via Youtube then it's the second and no contest but if it came down to watching one of them all the way through again I'll take the first without question; so THERE, Mr. Vern.
Oh wow, a reply that's 9 hours too late by O_Goncho	Jun 10th, 2008 09:59:03 PM
But whatever; vive la talkback.

About 80% of that looks exactly like Transporter 2 by xXMr_BoJaNgLeSXx	Jun 11th, 2008 07:28:17 AM

I love this series! by Spandau Belly	Jun 11th, 2008 08:53:23 AM
This character has no inner conflict and doesn't develop. He just ends up in absurd situations and fights his way out and moves to another city and then it happens again. He's one of these guys like Rambo, wherever he goes an action movie just happens.
P.S. I want a Transporter game for XBox by Spandau Belly	Jun 11th, 2008 08:59:18 AM
Do it GTA style crossed with a Double Dragon style brawler and get Statham to do the voice and I'll go home one happy camper.
Transporter´s girls by CuervoJones	Jun 11th, 2008 09:10:17 AM

Un Film De Olivier Megaton! by Franklin T Marmoset	Jun 11th, 2008 09:19:52 AM
I'm with Vern and the good Dr Pazuzu on this one. I love this series, and I thought the second one was far, far better than the original. It was bigger, stupider, and much more fun, so I can only hope they pull off the same trick again and make part three a colossal explosion (a Megaton explosion!) of Dumbhouse joy.
Transporter is bad ass by Toby___Wong	Jun 11th, 2008 02:41:13 PM
I really don't understand why these movies get hate. They are the perfect popcorn movies. I can't see enough sequels. Bring it on. I can't wait for the third part.
I Liked The Official Teaser Better Than The Official Trailer by Red Dawn Don	Jun 12th, 2008 12:51:00 AM
Whichever one that was LESS split-second over-edited. The teaser was more story oriented. If that is possible for a TRANSPORTER movie. I liked the first (Trans-1) best. Didn't they show JS defecting a missle with a kitchen pan in the trailer for Trans-2. That scene while in the trailer was not used in the movie. Something about not being believeable.
