It's probably my favorite out of the series. I know what you mean about CGI car chases though. "Fast and the Furious:Tokyo Drift" was supposed to be all about the hip new trend of drifting, and then they CGI-ed friggin' everything! It's not like the guys on the drift circuit would have demanded a lot of money to do the real thing. They're not exactly making Tiger Woods pay. And it would have at least been something neat and new to see on film.<BR/><BR/>But there's hope. I read an interview somewhere with George Miller asking if Max Max 4 would use CGI if/when it gets made. He replied that blowing up a junky car that can pass for post-apocalyptic only costs $7000.<BR/><BR/>[TRANSPORTER 3 SPOILERS]<BR/>I don't expect much of a plot in the Transporter movies, but they could have at least had incriminating photos of the Minister of Whatever. I don't see why he didn't just call the Ukrainian Army or Police in to find his missing daughter. They didn't even have a line saying they'd kill her if he told anyone. Probably because it was supposed to be a surprise that she was the package. In my imaginary version of the Ukraine, where there are a little more grey areas in the law, if I were that minister... Well, I would have called in my own personal secret police, and started chopping the fingers off of those three sleazy businessmen until they called off the whole thing. Or water-boarded their wives and kids. But then there wouldn't be a movie.<BR/>[/END SPOILERS]Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598679791761825577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-91507732363153745712008-11-30T23:03:00.000-08:002008-11-30T23:03:00.000-08:00I didn't have any trouble with the car to train se...I didn't have any trouble with the car to train sequence because it looked real (it was composites rather than CGI - which means a real car and real train were used) - and I have seen that actual stunt done for real with a motorcycle jumping onto the roof of a speeding train and landing in SUPERCOP. So it is completely possible - been done before on film - just this time was FX.<BR/><BR/>All of the car stuff was a million times more realistic than #2, and it's great to see the car on 2 wheel thing - which was done for real. Haven't seen that one in a film since the 70s.<BR/><BR/>- Billwcmartellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075242897910568801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-20004651558086785102008-11-30T19:03:00.000-08:002008-11-30T19:03:00.000-08:00I also found your blog from Adam's thread on DVXUS...I also found your blog from Adam's thread on DVXUSER. I've subscribed after reading a few posts.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Transporter 3, I'm open to guilty pleasures but I balk at the REALLY implausible stuff - no matter how cool (see, e.g., the fighter jet vs. truck scene in the last Die Hard flick. I mean, come on!). In Transporter 3 the scene with the car stolen was way over the top.<BR/><BR/>I also was surprised at the absence of any shots of the bracelet during this sequence as you commented. However, he was WAY WAY outta range to the point of ridiculousness. The chick couldn't even go to the bathroom at the gas station when she walked into the joint and yet the car peels out and through several streets while he's running through buildings and grabbing a bicycle????<BR/><BR/>While I'm ranting, the car jump onto a speeding train from a parked position on a bridge??? And driving across the top of the train to vault INTO the train??? <BR/><BR/>I saw it with my 13-year old who buys almost EVERYTHING but even he was moaning at the utter unbelievability of those stunts. I guess he and I have to stop watching Mythbusters and forget about Newton's Laws at the cineplex.Fat Monster Filmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364290840867726538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-36491232970077567032008-11-30T18:48:00.000-08:002008-11-30T18:48:00.000-08:00Cool.

I'm doing a film called "Divinity" (See the User films). I call it James Bond meets Transporter. <BR/><BR/>I love this series and it keeps coming. I want to see 3 but haven't yet. I still remember that original trailer. Dude uses his leading lady as a projectile weapon. Insane. <BR/><BR/>-NateAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713340213109060468noreply@blogger.com
