| The Hire (Web Video) | comment |
A Web Video series produced by BMW in 2001 and 2002, with another installment in 2016, starring Clive Owen. Essentially, this is a Genre Anthology where each episode only has two recurring features: The Driver, and a series of BMW automobiles. Each episode featured a different director and guest stars, and usually a different model of car. Not to mention vastly different moods; the films range from being intense and dramatic to being comic slapstick.The videos inspired the movie The Transporter.In 2023, the BMW Films label was resurrected for a new short film entitled "The Calm", which premiered at that year's Cannes Film Festival in May. While not a direct continuation of the series, it serves as a Spiritual Successor to The Hire and contains many of the series' trademark elements. It was directed by Sam Hargrave, produced by Joseph Kosinski, and stars Pom Klementieff and Uma Thurman. | |

Incredibly Obvious Tail: It does seem odd that the wife does not notice the same black BMW right behind her the whole way to the airport, but this is somewhat acknowledged and explained away in the narration, which explains that you keep moving around, changing lanes from time to time, getting a bit closer, a bit farther, moving into their blindspot if you end up too close behind them, and most of all that the best way to avoid detection is to know their patterns, so you can predict what they will do next. And also averted shortly later. Once they leave the city and get out on the highway, he drops much farther back because he can still see her car in the distance. | |

Rule of Cool: This is the driving factor behind most of what happens in the films. The producers had to actually disable some of the features on the cars they were showing off to make the driving stunts look more impressive. For example, the cars featured are all designed to not to do hairpin turns or skids because that's dangerous. | |

White-Dwarf Starlet: The movie star is heavily implied to be a male version of this trope.

Protagonist-Centered Morality: Generally speaking, driving recklessly and intentionally causing your passenger to be sent bouncing off the interior of the car because she is not wearing your seatbelt is generally considered a bad thing.

Not So Stoic | |
| The Hire (Web Video) / int_a8a4b41e | comment |
Not So Stoic: The Driver is a suave individual with Nerves of Steel and keeps his cool in nearly every situation, though there are times when he lets emotion peek through. At the end of "Ambush" when the old man simply laughs when the Driver asks him if he really swallowed the diamonds, he seems amused and nearly cracks a smile. The same goes with the ending of "Chosen", when the Driver finds out that the gift that the boy gave him was a bandage for his grazed ear. In "The Powder Keg", Harvey Jacobs' bitter reflection over his career as a war photographer moves him and he's very shaken by Jacobs' death. When the Driver visits Jacobs' mother, his voice cracks while talking about her son and he's on the verge of tears. After spending all of the "The Escape" being his usual stoic self, he smiles once Lily is reunited with Dr. Phillips. He's noticeably bemused by the "crazy talk" between James Brown and the Devil, though reverts to his previous stoic self once the race starts. Until he sees Brown has suddenly regained his lost youth. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Attacking State and Federal law enforcement with guns and explosives then later wrecking their vehicles with no means of escape? In public? They're either facing life in prison or the death penalty if they're not shot dead on-sight. | |

Theme Naming | |

Theme Naming: The clones were named after flowers. Lily mentions "Tulip", "Daffodil", and "Rose", but never says if there was one between her and them. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| The Hire (Web Video) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: The tone, style, and even genre of each episode varies wildly, due to each episode having a different director. And while the Driver's general personality is relatively the same throughout the entire series, his character traits are sometimes subtly tweaked to better fit the tone of a given episode. | |
