neutral · AI labelView post →I'm a firm believer that film critics should be willing - strike that, I mean EAGER - to admit when they've changed their mind about a movie, so here goes: I was too harsh on THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED back in 2015. It's not a great film by any stretch but it's a solid, enjoyable b-movie actioner.
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, double movie recommendation for today, because I just noticed Shout! Studios have Fong Sai Yuk up on Youtube to watch for free, and this absolutely slaps. An early career highlight for Jet Li, directed by Hong Kong legend Corey Yuen (Yes Madam, Righting Wrongs, The Transporter) Watch it!
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about Fong Sai Yuk again because it's from the same director as Yes Madam, Corey Yuen. Later in his career, he also co-directed The Transporter, in case you ever wondered why the fight scenes in that movie slapped so much. bsky.app/profile/bran...
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the final film directed by Corey Yuen. The guy who directed The Transporter and Yes, Madam! So yeah it's way better than you would expect a Dead or Alive movie to be.
neutral · AI labelView post →The only real fan theory I have about anything is that every Jason Statham movie from THE TRANSPORTER onwards is just a chapter in the increasingly weird and violent life of one specific guy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every single Jason Statham movie since THE TRANSPORTER has just been a series of entries in one guy’s incredibly weird and violent life.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now Watching: THE TRANSPORTER (2002) and TRANSPORTER 2 (2005). There aren't enough gay action movie heroes but Frank Martin is one of the greats. #filmsky #moviesky 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →RIP Corey Yuen, who co-directed THE TRANSPORTER (2002), the film that established Jason Statham as a bona fide action star. Fun fact: the motor oil in this scene was actually molasses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjLd...
neutral · AI labelView post →Jason Statham should do a crossover movie with the Transporter and the Beekeeper and the tagline is "He'll get you from A to bee"
neutral · AI labelView post →I have this theory that you can make more or less the exact same movie with Jason Statham with any profession name -The Mechanic -The Beekeeper -The Transporter -The Toll Collector -The Podiatrist I'm only making two of those up.
neutral · AI labelView post →Jason Statham really needs to make a Klumps meets the Expendables movie that teams up the Transporter, the Beekeeper, Hobbes, Cranked guy, Working Man, The Mechanic, and scuba-Statham from The Meg.

In "The Transporter" Ella is a wilful, bratty girl who's bottom ends up paying the price for her attitude! Preview: northernspanking.com/scene/item/vidnsi1623
neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of people missed or forgot about this but Louis Leterrier - who directed TRANSPORTER 2 and co-directed THE TRANSPORTER (he's credited as an "artistic director") - decided these films needed something to stand out from the other tough guy action flicks, so he added gay subtext.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie, 2002's The Transporter which a podcast I enjoy has informed me is about gay trans man Frank Transporter and his struggle to stick to his rules and with his French Police Inspector husband.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Holodeck is the greatest invention Star Trek ever dreamed up because it allows nerds stuck on a ship in space for decades at a time a space to do weirdest shit imaginable Conversely the Transporter is the worst because if you win the lottery of a malfunction you are now in a scifi horror movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Waymo should let me choose driver profiles so that instead of getting a robot that drives like an old grandma going 10 miles below the speed limit I get one based on Jason Statham in the Transporter movie series so I get there in half the time.
neutral · AI labelView post →One more thing: THE TRANSPORTER has one of the greatest homoerotic grease fights in movie history. I'll leave it to history to decide if it was THE best (but it gets my vote).
positive · AI labelView post →The Beekeeper (2024 David Ayer) Watching this so close to The Transporter was eye opening. Even though that movie had Corey Yuen choreographed action, it was still plagued with unnecessary edits. The Beekeeper just has such a good flow to its action. To Bee or not to Bee! #YearoftheStath
neutral · AI labelView post →THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED may be the third best film in the franchise but it has a scene where Frank Martin ghost rides the whip while beating up lots of goons and I can't pretend that's not wonderful.
positive · AI labelView post →I love it when in the Motion Picture Bones doesn't want to be transported and everybody's acting like he's just a silly little beardy guy about it BUT LITERALLY IN THAT SAME MOVIE THE TRANSPORTER TURNED TWO FEDERATION OFFICERS INTO TORTURED SOUP
neutral · AI labelView post →It's absolutely wild that The Transporter is being used in Volkswagen ads in 2025. The last Transporter film was released in 2008. What's next? Using Crank to get people to change their energy provider?
neutral · AI labelView post →What is one of the best “you don’t know who you’re messing with” scenes in movie history? From The Transporter:
neutral · AI labelView post →I think The Transporter is one of the most interesting action movies ever made. And it really established him as a movie star.
positive · AI labelView post →The best guy in any action movie is the guy who just watched The Equalizer or John Wick or the Transporter or Reacher utterly destroy three or four guys and runs in to try his hand at fighting, just in case he's the magical ninja who can pull this off.
neutral · AI labelView post →The latest in the Transporter film franchise doesn't look great...
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, I've had a large Sunday Martini 🍸 *Very* large, in truth 🍸 🍸 Nevertheless, I remain of the view that The Transporter is a great movie 🎬
positive · AI labelView post →A Working Man appears to be a Jason Statham movie that imagines what the Beekeeper or the Transporter or the Mechanic would have gotten up to if they didn't keep bees or transport or work on cars
neutral · AI labelView post →THE TRANSPORTER is in fact a perfect movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I went scrolling through search to see if there was any chatter about this movie and saw someone saying this was the best Statham movie since The Transporter 3, an absolutely wild claim to make for myriad reasons but especially when Spy is right there.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the end of the Transporter because why not. You have to hand it to Jason Statham; he's basically his own film genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →RIP to Cory Yuen, director of such all-timers as The Transporter, DOA: Dead or Alive, No Retreat, No Surrender, and Yes, Madam! A true icon who knew how to make an action movie fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →My pet fan theory is that every Jason Statham movie since THE TRANSPORTER onward has just been an episode in one single guy’s increasingly weird and hyper-violent life.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok, I decided on 'The Transporter' to watch, but then... just as I was putting the other films back in their place, another film caught my eye and I suddenly wanted to watch it instead. 'The Final Countdown' 1980. . I hope everyone ENJOYS their Friday evening and weekend! ✌️😉-Have fun, be safe!
neutral · AI labelView post →Film #3 for 2026 is The Transporter (2002). The production values are direct-to-DVD, but Louis Leterrier knows how to shoot a car chase, and Corey Yuen knows how to stage a martial arts scene, and Jason Statham does what Jason Statham does. The final act in particular is entertainingly unhinged.
positive · AI labelView post →Love to see a Saab in a movie (The Transporter)
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't recommend HAVOC (2025) highly enough. Very comic-book-like OTT action thrill ride. Put me in mind of Atomic Blonde, John Wick, La Femme Nikita, The Transporter. A friend even mentioned Akira. It's on Netflix. letterboxd.com/film/havoc-2...
neutral · AI labelView post →My personal headcanon is that every single Jason Statham movie since THE TRANSPORTER has just been one chapter in the increasingly weird and violent life of one single dude.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s CinemaJohn was The Fifth Element (1997), a visually stunning but phenomenally strange movie. The director, Luc Besson, also did The Transporter (2002) and Taken (2008). Costumes were by Jean-Paul Gaultier. So that explains a lot.
neutral · AI labelView post →My Jason Statham 6-film DVD would be: 1. Crank 2. Crank 2: High Voltage 3. Snatch 4. Spy 5. The Transporter 6. Ghosts of Mars
neutral · AI labelView post →I contend the best Jason Statham movie is "Crank." Followed by The Transporter, Spy, and The Bank Job. That most of them aren't CGI slop is a testament to his choices.
positive · AI labelView post →Elizabeth and I were doing a "guess the movie?" game on YouTube the other night and a scene from THE TRANSPORTER came on and she was like "What movie is this? He has hair!"
neutral · AI labelView post →occasionally they do a scene in the Transporter, and by occasionally i mean roughly 70% of the movie, that makes me think Jason Statham should be in Tekken
positive · AI labelView post →Looking at Statham's career, it's hilarious to me IMDB doesn't even have The Transporter on the short "known for" list. And then there are the Guy Ritchie flicks... Who's the modern Guy Ritchie to find us the next Dumb Action Movie Person?
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched The Transporter. Mostly, it's the perfect silly action movie for a Friday night. But the plot revolves around people smuggling. It rightly takes for granted that illegal immigrants should be helped, not hated and feared. Nowadays, that would count as a bold political statement. 😕
positive · AI labelView post →I don't mind him in action movies but I still think his best role was Snatch. Runner up is The Transporter[the first one] where he played most of the movie as though the character was gay but the studio insisted on shoehorned het romance.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey Gremlings! My movie recommendation for the weekend: The Transporter (2002) – plot – A former special forces operative, is hired to transport a mysterious package. Enjoy the movie! [ #gremlings #TheSigiBot #pixsmoltuber #pixelart #vtuber ]
neutral · AI labelView post →so Cash Truck is the French film Wrath of Man is based on but that movie's original French title is Le Convoyeur which actually translates to... The Transporter
neutral · AI labelView post →I will forever and always watch a movie starring Jason Statham when it's called The ______ The beekeeper The Transporter The working Man
neutral · AI labelView post →Ever since I saw The Transporter and Crank, I have been a fan of Jason Statham and his films. Well, the trailer for his latest film, A Working Man, just dropped on YouTube. So, of course, I had to check it out for myself. And It's what I would expect from a Jason Statham film. #filmsky #cinephile
neutral · AI labelView post →What should Jason Statham’s next movie character profession be after The Transporter, The Mechanic, and The Beekeeper?
neutral · AI labelView post →YES. It is my favorite "Star Trek" movie! I still freak out when thinking of the Transporter Horror Accident.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished my rewatch of the TRANSPORTER trilogy. There's a really great Transporter film just waiting to be pulled together, but they just never managed to do it in this trilogy. The only constant quality item is Statham. Love him in these things.
neutral · AI labelView post →There were so many films I just absorbed from them being on all the time. The Transporter is a perfect background movie.
positive · AI labelView post →The Transporter This movie has really good fight scenes actually, the oil wrasslin bit was really fun.
positive · AI labelView post →This could feasibly be The Transporter. But I refuse to believe that's anyone's favourite film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the Transporter (2002), movie is fantastico, we all cheered for the bike depot fight scene, thank you Mr. Statham for a silly movie about a guy who does crimes, then does more crimes but for good reasons! I think you could argue that a couple of those murders were not strictly self-defense.
