Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSERIES TRADEMARK: When discovered at Frank's place, Tarconi uses the same excuse ("I'm the cook") that Lai gave to him in The Transporter (2002).
- GoofsWhen the gas is ignited from the cylinder in the doctor's office, the cylinder goes shooting down the hall. You can see that the valve is still intact. In reality, the gas escaping from the cylinder through a valve which is at a ninety degree angle to the cylinder such as the one shown, would force the bottle to spin, not to shoot out and fly in a straight line. Additionally, if the pressure of the gas were enough to move the cylinder, it would do so regardless of the gas being lit on fire. The burning, and subsequently expanding, gas would have no effect on the cylinder once it is outside of the valve as the burning gas does not increase the force on the cylinder.
- Quotes
Frank Martin: What's the first rule when entering a man's car?
Jack Billings: [takes his feet off the seat] Respect a man's car, a man respects you.
Frank Martin: Rule number two?
Jack Billings: Greet the man. Good afternoon, Frank.
Frank Martin: Good afternoon, Jack.
Jack Billings: Can we play the game now?
Frank Martin: I would think your brain would be too tired after a whole day of school.
Jack Billings: You're just afraid I'm gonna win.
Frank Martin: I'm afraid you're gonna be too worn out to do your homework.
Jack Billings: It's Friday, I don't *have* any homework.
Frank Martin: In that case: the game.
Jack Billings: Yes!
Frank Martin: But first, what's the third rule of the car?
[Jack buckles his seatbelt]
Frank Martin: Good.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, the actors names appear to be hanging from the ceiling of the parking garage.
- Alternate versionsUS version was edited for violence (the scene where Frank fights with an iron bar, digital removal of blood) and sexuality (shots of Kate Nauta's naked butt, digital retouching of shots where you could see her nipples) to secure a more commercial PG-13 rating. This version is ca. 25 seconds shorter.

Featured review
Statham - Superhero!
Yes! I treat the Transporter series like Bond films. That's what they remind me of. This may perhaps be my favourite. Director Louis Leterrier(Who directed The Incredible Hulk) takes on the Transporter. He makes it exciting. Lots of over the top action. Fight scenes are fantastically choreographed(Cory Yuen). Car chases are beautiful. Kate Nauta is sexy. She is sexy as a nurse, sexy in pink, sexy in red, sexy in almost nothing, sexy with guns. She even has a song on the soundtrack. Amber Valletta is gorgeous! The perfect Bond women! The cars are supercharged. The villian is crazy, hellbent on destruction. The score by Alexandre Azaria is superb! Reminds me at moments of John Barry's music in Bond films. The songs on the soundtrack explode with techno beats that make you want to buy it. The 5.1 surround adds a big plus as well. All this, rolled together, make an entertaining flick. You can and should add this to your collection. Highly recommended action movie. Statham can fly, therefore......
