The Transporter is 2002 action film starring Jason Statham as Frank Martin: a gruff, ex-military man who is in the "transporting" business. Give him the money, the measurements, and the time and he'll get your stuff from A to B. Frank has a set of rules, one of which includes: "Never open the package". However, whilst transporting a large bag from a somewhat unsavory client, Frank discovers an Asian woman named Lai (Shu Qi) stuffed inside his cargo. He is visibly bothered by this and allows her the basic opportunities of food and bathroom time (during which she tries to escape) but ultimately ends up delivering her to the Bad Guys anyway. Because he looked in the package the bad guys try to kill him.The first film was a stylish (it was written by Luc Besson and produced by the latter's EuropaCorp, after all), fast-paced action romp, directed by Louis Letterier and choreographed by another frequent Jet Li collaborator, Cory Yuen who also served as co-director. The second and third movies dispensed with any pretensions of realism and are considerably more over the top. The series is notable for putting Statham on the map, as well as setting the template for pretty much all of his subsequent roles.A fourth installment titled The Transporter: Refueled was released on September 4th, 2015, with English rapper/actor Ed Skrein replacing Jason Statham as Frank Martin. There's also a television series. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| The Transporter / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: In the second movie, after Frank, Jack, and Lola have avoided pursuit from cops by jumping their car from the top of a parking garage to another under construction. The car skids to a stop near the edge, Lola's side facing out. Played straight when Frank is chasing the Russian (who's hanging onto a bus) by driving up the canal in a jetski. The Russian mocks "The Driver" by shouting that he's no good on water — cue an Oh, Crap! moment as Frank launches the jetski out of the water onto the road behind the bus. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Downplayed. Mr. Kwai is ready to have his own daughter killed by the end, but it's a last resort and he truly does seem regretful at having to do so. Before this he fully expected that he would be able to raise Daddy's Little Villain, when the truth is Lai hates him. | |

He Knows Too Much: Once Frank confirms he did in fact "open the package", Wall Street takes it in stride in a joking way, right before offering him another job to transport a briefcase bomb with the intent of dealing with him. The only victims of which were the two unlucky cops still in the car. | |

Obviously Evil: Several examples. Let's see: Wall Street: A ridiculously hammy Sissy Villain in a dark suit with a Beard of Evil, a Porn Stache, and an ever present smirk, who does everything but feel Frank up during their first encounter. He even does a Kubrick Stare on his driver's license. Lola: A Stripperiffic blonde with smeared mascara, who totes a couple of SMGs, looks perpetually high on drugs, and wears hooker boots and a trenchcoat. Yeah, she can't be good news. Chillini: A situational example-he's an Italian man in a white suit in a movie where the villains are drug dealers. Yep, he's a villain. Kasarov and his Big Bad Ensemble are a bunch of sinister Russian Mafiya types who are always looking high on cocaine, Straw Misogynist types, and oozing menace. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: An Elite Mook from the first movie had a distinctive tattoo around his eye, carried a whip and took down Frank in one move. Frank wakes up much later, but what happened to the cool mook? A better example is the second truck. Watch the convoy at the end closely: There are two semi trucks full of prisoners, but only one gets "rescued". Where did the other one go? Stopped off-screen. | |

Giant Mook: One appears in the first three movies: Downplayed in the first film: One of the villains is an enormous guy complete with Beard of Evil, but is only mildly harder for Frank to defeat than the others. The second movie has a Scary Black Man who's probably the hardest opponent Frank has to contend with. Lampshaded in the third movie. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| The Transporter / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Frank was content to simply complete his business with Wall Street and put Lai out of sight and mind. Had Wall Street not tried to kill Frank under the guise of offering him another job, he never would have incurred the transporter's wrath. Frank even says he is ambivalent about whether or not he wants to further deal with Wall Street until the latter's second attempt on his life. | |

Drop Dead Gorgeous: The film features a ton of sexual tension between Frank and a smug scantily-clad henchwoman named Lola. He eventually kicks her onto a conveniently-placed spiked wall decoration thing and admires her corpse for a few good seconds. There exists an uncensored version of the scene where blood drips over Lola's corpse and the camera moves in to a closeup of her death stare. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Averted when the mooks riddle Frank's car with bullets, then rush to get more ammunition which is locked in the garage. Unfortunately, so is Frank. Lola manages to play it straight and avert this trope in the hospital, where she sprays far more bullets from her pistols than could possibly fit even in those extended magazines, but when she makes her way outside, she does a flashy reload before mowing down some cops. | |

Ambiguously Gay: The director of the second movie has stated that Frank is gay, but it's only written in on the subtext level. Inspector Tarconi's description of his relationship with Frank makes them sound like a gay couple, and Frank turns down the advances of Audrey Billings, but that could just as easily be because she's tipsy, emotionally vulnerable, and married to his employer. (In 3), Frank specifically claims he's not gay, but in circumstances that imply a lie. Though he may just be ace, bi, omni, or pan, and is trying to combat erasure. | |

Painful Adhesive Removal | |
| The Transporter / int_f090ca85 | comment |
Painful Adhesive Removal: An implied case. After spending a sizable portion of the early portions of the movie Bound and Gagged, the first thing Lai does once Frank finally cuts loose the ropes binding her while she's at his house is to rip off the duct tape that had been used to gag her. From there, she has just enough time to briefly ask Frank where he's going before she winces, makes a silent 'ow', and places her hand over her mouth to indicate that the removal of her tape gag was fairly painful. | |

Product Placement | |
| The Transporter / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: In The Transporter, we are treated to many loving shots of Frank's BMW — up to two of the characters (Frank and Tarconi) telling us exactly what model it is. In Transporter 2 and Transporter 3, it's an Audi. All the Oranginas Frank drank in the first film. | |

Fanservice Extra: The woman on the Jet Ski, with a rapid but generous close-up of her derriére and legs, after being transferred by Martin to the passenger seat on the Jet Ski, in an acrobatic maneuver. | |

Faking the Dead | |
| The Transporter / int_f9876f7e | comment |
Faking the Dead: After the bad guys blow up his house, Frank tells Lai that the pair of them should just vanish and make whoever's after them think they're dead, rather than look for trouble by hunting them down. Lai unfortunately has her own agenda. | |

Explosive Leash: Frank has a bracelet attached to his wrist◊ that will explode if he gets more than 50 feet from the car. This causes problems when he's hunting down the Big Bad at the end; he has to bring the car with him. Even onto a moving train. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| The Transporter / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: On several occasions! Most notably how Frank removes the bomb under his car by doing a barrel roll and scraping the bottom of his car with a crane hook. Another example is the climax of the film, where Frank confronts Chillini on board his private jet and the pilot gets shot. Cut to exterior shots of the plane in flight, performing several crazy stunts due to being rocked by the fight within and the pilot's limp body being jostled by the movement. The stunts include a brief moment of flying upside down, several aileron rolls, a tailspin, and finally flying straight up before stalling out and crashing into the ocean. | |

Brick Joke: The bank robbers offer Frank more money to take them the rest of the way. Frank refuses because it breaks Rule #1. Later he's watching a news report which shows the robbers were caught after driving the wrong way down a one-way street. | |
