When CRANK met DEATH RACE-AKA: Transporter 3

Who says Jason Statham is typecast?



I have to admit that I'm still a huge fan of the first Transporter since it best embodies what I affectionately classify as Euro-Action-Trash. It's essentially a European homage/knock-off (depending on your level of cynicism) of American action films of the late 80's like Lethal Weapon/Beverly Hills Cop but with a lot more Techno music. PLUS who can honestly admit to themselves that they didn't like the part in Transporter 1 when Statham was fighting shirtless covered in motor oil. People that is what classic movie moments are made of!
