I've loved Jason Statham ever since I saw the first Transporter, which rocked. It doesn't seem like he really gets a chance to shine in other movies though, so I'm really happy to learn about this sequel.

Jason Statham is a great actor. He was awesome in Snatch. Though the first Transporter had some flaws, it was a fun movie and I enjoyed it. Hopefully the second will have the same elements as the first.

The first one was one of the best "mindless" action movies. It was a "sleeper" hit.
Very good stuff. I watched it like 3 times already.
Can't wait for the 2nd film. Thanks for link.

Oh yeah, Trailer time. I love the first movie and the trailer makes me look forward to the next.

I really liked The Transporter but, after seeing So Close and Unleashed, a few zany moments aside, I felt both directors were really holding back. Based on the trailer for Transporter 2 it seems they've finally cut loose.
The only thing that bugs me is the PG-13 rating. No, I don't think a movie can only be good if rated R but I recall that fear of an R rating hurt the fight scenes in the first film. I just hope when this hits DVD it isn't a case where the best version of the film is a somewhat expensive foreign release version.

I never really cared to see the original, but the trailer for part 2 definitely makes me want to. The trailer for part 2 looks awesome, although the plot seems like it will be very similar to Man on Fire.

Arnold is a big guy, but i dont *REALLY* believe he can take out scores of henchmen all by himself.
The bus garage fight was great. I'd love to see JS do more fights like in this movie.
