Transporter 3 Teaser

Transporter Movie StillThe idea behind The Transporter is interesting enough for an action movie: move item from point A to point B, shit goes wrong, things blow up, delivery complete though not as initially conceived. I was turned onto the franchise when I discovered that my Favourite French Dude was involved with the films. It was also the first time I saw Jason Statham.

I picked up Transporter 2 at the local Chinese market (I can’t walk away from a 5 for 20 deal) and enjoyed it though they changed the formula slightly and it worked a little less effectively. Still, it was fun and Jason Statham was just as charming. Two years have passed since the last installment in the franchise and the times have changed a little. Director Louis Leterrier has “graduated” to American films and Jason Statham has become a staple of American action films so what to do? Bring on some new directing blood in the form of award winning former graffiti artist Olivier Megaton. What to expect from the story? See paragraph one.

Transporter 3 is scheduled to open in the US on November 26th. You can count my ticket as money in the bank.

Teaser is tucked under the seat!

  1. Saw this earlier…but I’ll watch again. :) Actually looks great. And is that T-Bag I see? Nice.

  2. I’ve enjoyed the films as well. Some second unit stuff for Transporter 2 was shot right in front of the the condo I was living at during my time in Miami Beach.

  3. Looks like “Shoot ‘em Up” meets “Crank” - except a good version of “Shoot em Up”. I liked the first two films for what they were. I’m sure I’ll expect the same out of this one.

  4. Nice to see a few shout outs to the inspired lunacy of TRANSPORTER 2. People wrote it off, but the silliness of the film actually is endearing to me. I like it.

  5. Yeah, its definitely one of those type of movie where you turn your brain off and just enjoy some of the nonsense absurdity. There is a number of moments where I laugh out loud or thought to myself, “you got to be kidding me”.
