Cool! Loved the first one, will be there for the second. It looks like a Mission: Impossible movie but without all the baggage.

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.

Have you seen Snatch or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? Jason Statham was also the best character in the Italian Job remake.

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.

I did see Snatch & Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, but it was years ago before I knew of Statham & I don't even remember much about those movies. Maybe I'll have to rent them. I did think he was good in The Italian Job, but I'm just so excited about this sequel, because he's the main man, not a supporting character.

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.

OK, wasn't too crazy about the first one, but the new trailer does seem pretty kick-ass.

And it was co-directed by a Frenchman (as is this sequel). Don't forget that.

I can't wait to see this movie. Sure the plot was weak but I went to watch it for the action. It was great.

Nope, that movie's still in pre-production. Perhaps you meant The Driver?

I thought Transporter was a good fun movie and look forward to part 2. I thought the preview was good.

Damn! They're remaking The Driver? They should've just gone The Transporter route and made a new movie.

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.

No, the new film Driver is based on the video game series of the same name. It's not a remake of The Driver.

I don't think i have ever seen an action movie where the hero didnt beat up at least 80 guys or shoot 80 guys.

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.

Honestly, for some action movies, that is what I WANT to see. Realism has its benefits, but sometimes I just want to see some mass carnage. And I'm willing to suspend my disbelief to see it. So bring this movie on...
