The corkscrew car flip that removed the bomb on the bottom was too much for me to take.

Plus there weren't as many fight scenes as the first one. The greased up bike pedal fight in the first was badass.

Ok....i'll agree with you on the car flip....a bit too much maybe...but thats what you go into these movies expecting. Kinda like a James Bond feel.

i have to admit - both of them lest me kind of cold ...

some action movie fight scenes leave you feeling that the physicality only exists in the editing room .. thats the way i feel about Statham in both films ...


VS Jet Lee in Unleashed ...

same producer i believe ? (Besson) but far more believable and with a lot more content ..

Transporter 2 was better than 1 but I cant remember a damn thing that happened in eather one after i saw them ..

I did like Unleashed much better than the Transporter movies......but i felt they were on a different level.
Transporter catering more to the action/anything goes crowd and Unleashed more to the thinking mans crowd.....as it were.

it was more gritty ...

even kiss of the dragon had too much flash and quick edits ..

i like action but i really like fights that look like the actual guys are fighting ..

(Grosse Point Blank, They Live) fights like that ...

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday

Well the story pretty much sucks and Jason never actually goes to hell, but if you can overlook those two things, this movie's alright. There's some pretty cool gore and the acting is average. All in all, it's not the worst in the franchise, but it's not anywhere near the best either.

C



Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo

A pretty ho-hum sequel to a movie that was only slightly above average to begin with. I thought most of the stuff with Eddie Griffin was pretty funny and the Norm McDonald and Adam Sandler cameos are always a plu, but this script was lacking any type of quality story.
