Transporter 2 - Sam - 01-12-2006
MINOR SPOILERS!!
I wasn't a big fan of the first movie and I'm not a big fan of the second either. I found myself laughing at many of the stunts (especially the plane crash) though some of the fight scenes were fun (the fire hose scene was really good). I like Jason Statham as an actor but these movies were just too B-material for me to enjoy. They're fun to watch but too corny to really get into. With the right directors and writers the Transporter movies could have been really successful.
IMHO, if he had hair I think he could make a good RJ.

I thought they were going for campy, and it worked. The first one was silly fun and nothing more. It was very melodramatic, tongue-in-cheek. It didn't pretend to be something it wasn't.
I haven't seen the sequel yet but I expect more of the same.

Maybe we could make RJ bald...it would be better than anybody from the 70's show or Leo Dicraprio. Besides, bald is beautiful.

Ahhhh...I didn't know they were actually going for that look. Thought it was a serious attempt. Not my kind of movie I guess.

I really appreciated the first one, but thought the second one was garbage.
BTW - Jason Statham is very COo.oOL, but is too old to be RJ.
Anyone seen Mean Machine (remake of the Longest Yard)? He is awesome in that movie... I love his character.

Yeah I have seen Mean Machine, its the soccer version of the longest yard and Statham was very cool in it. Played the Monk character....I actually enjoyed that movie much more then the recent US remake.
BTW, the main guy in Mean Machine...Vinnie....ummm....hell, gonna have to look it up, was a professional footballer.

That would prob be Vinnie Jones. He was also in SNATCH and L, S, & TSB, I believe, with Statham. He kicks ass. He is also playing Juggernaut in the third X-Men movie.

Thats the man. Cool, I wasn't aware he was in the next Xmen movie. He was awesome in the two Guy Ritchie movies as well as Statham. His bullet tooth character in LS and TSB's cracked me up with his son.
