VIDEO: Transporter 3 trailer debuts, could be worse than Transporter 2
The first Transporter was a nifty little romp. The second one was an absurd little romp. This third installment, befitting a director whose last name is Megaton, has absolutely overdosed on the outlandish. But apparently you've all spoken by making the first two profitable, and this is what you want. The plot in the third film is like John Woo redid Crank, but with a detonating bracelet and an Audi. And as much as we dig Jason Statham, if he doesn't hit the brakes soon he's on his way to becoming the pauper's Nicholas Cage. Or the rich man's Steven Segal, which might not be so bad... Follow the jump to check out the trailer. Thanks for the tip, JP!

I commented before watching the trailer. And....I still must agree with you. I have to say though, these filmmakers have a thing for tank-weight Audi's showing their undersides (in the trailer it was the OG two-wheel motion).

What are my reactions to the trailer? Well for one shocked that I might actually pay to see it.
Secondly, even more shocked that I sat through the WHOLE trailer. All 1 minute of it.

Statham and Audi back together again.

The Transporter series isn't Bond, or even close, but they do their job of entertaining for the sake of entertainment quite well. With people's moral rather low right now, particularly here in America, they'll probably enjoy something as mindless as Jason Stratham doing karate in a pool of oil, or flipping barrel-rolling heavy-ass Audi to avoid blowing to ooey-gooey bits.

Yeah, they are cheesy, well the first one was pretty good, but I think they are entertaining....better Transporter 3 than Mama Mia...

Yeah the last one was terrible. Indestructible Audi didn't help the movie make anymore sense either. This one looks like its sticking to the same formula.

I actually enjoyed the 2nd one more than the first one. The broken engrish by that girl in the first one ruined the entire movie for me. (I'm asian so I think I can say that)
I turned off my brain on the 2nd one and just had fun watching the cartoonish stunts and effects. You have to in order to enjoy a stunt involving an Audi spinning 360 in the air.

Um what is the point of having a hot asian chick without the accent. That's like dating a British girl that talks like she is from LA. I am Asian too and I don't mind any hot chicks with bad accents. Me so horny.

Of course you are. And your rich Asian parents probably bought you your M3, didn't they?
PS: Funny because it's true, brat.

Vintage, for being such a progressive a-hole, you sure are a racist SOB

@ Vintage
Funny because I am at work right now paying off my M3 and amusing myself with a reply to you. I have to admit though "RICH" Asian parents do love to spend money on their kids. But I sure as hell wasn't spoiled. Coming here as an immigrant with absolutely nothing and not even getting a single dollar of welfare isn't easy. I worked weekends since I could remember whether it was at the swapmeet or the family shop and I gave up all my holidays to work. Wearing clothes from the goodwill and swapmeet until college makes me spoiled.
We immigrants don't just pop up in the US instant millionaires. We worked for it as a family. Now go find some other forum to push your xenophobic agenda.

Like others have said the movies tend to be stupid(flipping an Audi to knock a bomb off the bottom with a crane = wut) but they are entertaining.

they used a mercedes for part of the first one.. after they blew up the BMW.

They needed a German sedan - sounds like an opportunity to get some product placement for the Porsche Panamera. Eh well.

I love over the top action movies that don't make sense. As long as they don't take themselves too seriously, bring the CHEESE!
