The Transporter I, II, III

Sign in to disble this ad
Are you a fan? Yay or nay?

I personally love them, and have seen all three many times. They arent the Bourne series, but they are my second favorite series of movies and probably my favorite action movies lately.

Which one do you prefer?

I thought the first one was okay.
Second one, the stunts were way over the top.
Third. Haven't seen it yet.

Watched the first two on cable. I'll probably stick with tradition.

They've got some great action scenes, but I don't consider them very good films.

The first was okay. Im not a big fan of English dialogue purposefully made to sound Asian.

Im watching that second as we speak, definitely my favorite. Lots of good action, and his Audi is amazing. Plus, the main crazy chick is my girlfriend.

The third one was okay, but yet again the sound of someone speaking English in a purposeful accent drives me crazy. One action scene where he tips the car is pretty dumb, along with the bike/car chase scene. \\

2nd gets my vote.

The first one rules especially the oil scene, the second one sucked, didn't see the third one. Crank was great too.

If you think the Bourne movies are good (IMO they are ok movies) then read the books. Better by a hundredfold.

Yep.

War had Statham and Jet Li.


Stathan was also in the remake of The Italian Job. The sequel, The Brazilian Job is scheduled for sometime this year.

I own the Italian job, one of the only good remakes to come around.

I have heard of War now that you mention Li, just I havent ever seen it. I might have my pops Netflix it, along with Crank.
