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.
Shouldn't his name then be Olivier Kiloton? by NoodlesHahn	Aug 23rd, 2008 04:23:13 PM

Death Race Bombed This Weeked!!! by Media Messiah	Aug 23rd, 2008 04:26:14 PM
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.

What the shit... by HBO	Aug 23rd, 2008 04:53:33 PM
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.
I wish Stratham would find the right role by aversiontherapy2	Aug 23rd, 2008 05:13:08 PM
He's got enough going for him to be a huge action star, Hollywood doesn't seem to know what to do with him.

This Looks Most Entertaining by The Rabbit Of Carrot Shaped Doom	Aug 23rd, 2008 05:42:15 PM
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.
Should have gone with Hitman by I Dunno	Aug 23rd, 2008 05:59:05 PM
That would have been a better franchise for him. And he shouldn't have ever accepted a call from Uwe Boll.
My Watch/Bracelet Tells TIme, Looks Good and... by TheBLIGHT	Aug 23rd, 2008 06:00:14 PM
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.

Statham Had Been Becoming A Box Office Draw by Media Messiah	Aug 23rd, 2008 06:10:46 PM
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.
hope they keep the iggy pop tune in the film by pipergates	Aug 23rd, 2008 06:12:16 PM
adrenaline music dont get any better
So i gues Statham is the new Segal or Van Damme? by BMacSmith	Aug 23rd, 2008 06:12:24 PM
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.

Why Statham rocks by Happyfat73	Aug 23rd, 2008 06:33:26 PM
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?

is his character still gay? by lynxpro	Aug 23rd, 2008 06:59:24 PM
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.

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	Aug 23rd, 2008 07:33:34 PM
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.

He fucked Shu Qi (lucky bastard!) in the first movie.
This'll be fun by mothandrust	Aug 23rd, 2008 10:59:45 PM
The first two movies were great eye candy and heaps of fun to watch. The man is simply 'cool' in these.
Admirably Retarded by GilbertRSmith	Aug 23rd, 2008 11:34:29 PM
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.

I doubt the character is gay. by Munro Kelly	Aug 23rd, 2008 11:54:22 PM
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.
In Transporter 4, he'll transport a toupee. by Dingbatty	Aug 24th, 2008 02:08:04 AM

Like other posters have said... by palimpsest	Aug 24th, 2008 02:15:19 AM
...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.
Best action movie star by Rolnikov	Aug 24th, 2008 02:56:39 AM
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.

Sounds like a good book... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Aug 24th, 2008 03:49:57 AM
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. :)
Also he's a world class athlete by palimpsest	Aug 24th, 2008 05:09:59 AM
(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.

The Stath is THE SHIT. by DocPazuzu	Aug 24th, 2008 08:49:52 AM
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....
hes such a badass by brandon11	Aug 24th, 2008 09:18:46 AM
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
DocPazuzu by brandon11	Aug 24th, 2008 09:22:04 AM
Wrong twice. revolver was awsome and incredibly underrated. and shoot'em up was fuckin sweet. apologize to Clive Owen you hater of beauty.
brandon11 by DocPazuzu	Aug 24th, 2008 09:50:53 AM
Revolver was beautifully shot, amazingly cast, impenetrable twaddle, whereas Shoot 'Em Up was unmitigated, self-congratulatory shit.
Seriously...after the last one? by Sappers Forward	Aug 24th, 2008 10:45:50 AM
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.

The Bank Job....Statham's best and most diverse..... by TheWaqman	Aug 25th, 2008 01:25:23 AM
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.

a most definite rental by just pillow talk	Aug 25th, 2008 07:18:25 AM
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.
So, you guys longing for the return of "tough guys" by Homer Sexual	Aug 25th, 2008 02:57:36 PM
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.
Return of the Tough Guys by GilbertRSmith	Aug 25th, 2008 07:05:23 PM
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.
