They are uncut but I doubt they'd ever get an R. Maybe the first might since what was cut was one of the bad guys getting run over by one of the trucks at the end. But it'd be a really mild R.

Tarantino

Not really. The episode I saw could have easily been shown on FX here in the states.

Clearly they would've gotten an R, or they wouldn't have had to cut them for the US release. That's the MPAA for you. I hoped that they'd get some "unrated director's cut" releases in the US or something, but I guess I'll have to pick up the imports.

Then it was the cut version. There's plenty of nudity in the uncut episodes.

Not necesarily. As far as I recall, the Transporter and Taken flicks were edited by the studio before presenting them to the MPAA for rating. There are no set guidelines as to what the MPAA looks for. There are general rules of thumb (like how many F-bombs your allowed and under what context in a PG-13 flick) but it's more of a luck-of-the-draw sort of thing.

That's why that movie that Paul Walker did with Jessica Alba (where they were treasure hunters who found a sunken ship full of drugs) was so insanely violent towards the end despite only getting a PG-13 rating. Yet a pretty mild movie like Losing Isaiah was saddled with an R.

And remember that greenband trailers only allow PG content in them. Yet the spikes to the legs was in the greenband trailer of Taken but excluded from the PG-13 rated theatrical cut.

Tarantino

I only saw the first episode, but there was one shot of a chicks ass as she got up from a bed - easily on par with Sons of Anarchy nudity.

Officially Dead on Cinemax, despite all 12 episodes being filmed. It was airing in foreign markets.

A 2nd season was greenlit for foreign markets. Frank Spotnitz, who wrote and produced for The X-Files, Strike Back and Hunted, is the new showrunner. Chris Vance is not signed for a 2nd season yet.

A had a feeling this would happen. When I went on vacation to Asia back in February, I found the DVD set in a flea market. It had all 12 episodes. I went ahead and picked it up. At least I will be able to see the 1st season at some point.

I'm sure another network will pick this up in the US. Odd that Cinemax passed since this sounds right up their alley.

I know he will never respond, but I would love to know how he decided on this particular thread to post his bullshit in.

TheMovieman

It's a standard spam in random threads. I Googled one line and got results from various forums (Men's Health, Baby Center, etc.

DJariya

I'm confused. What are you guys talking about? My comment is about The Transporter TV series. Cinemax decided to not air it despite all the episodes being filmed. My comment was based off the story I found.

DJariya

I saw 2 episodes from the DVD set I picked up. With some minor edits, it could air on a network like USA or FX.

there was a guy this morning who was spamming threads. mods deleted the comment.

Deftones

i wanted to see this. it must be really bad if cinemax can't even figure out what to do with it.

DJariya

Oh okay thanks. It looked like they were addressing me and I was like WTF?

I only saw 2 episodes from the DVD I picked up, but I was entertained. If it was that horrible, they wouldn't have greenlit a 2nd season for the foreign markets.

Well this is really confusing. HBO was one of the producing partners for it and it aired on a HBO Canada even. I wonder what caused Cinemax to decide not to air it?
