Jason Statham is getting himself ready to make " The Transporter 3", a film I will definitely be looking forward to seeing.   www.pr-inside.com/statham-all-set-for-third-transporter-r421436.htmSTATHAM ALL SET FOR THIRD TRANSPORTER
British action man JASON STATHAM is in training for a third THE TRANSPORTER film, in a bid to make sure he's fit and injury free when he starts shooting with French director LUC BESSON.
The Snatch star admits the two previous car-chase films have taken a lot out of him and he's determined to make sure he's well-prepared for a third and final film.
He says, "I'm preparing physically now. I'm on a very strict regime from six o'clock in the morning to mid-day every day.
"I've had some injuries and now that they're all healed, I've got to put myself back in fighting position.
"It's basically a lot of stretching and conditioning, so, when I do get involved with all the choreography, I can turn up on day four of the action sequences and still have energy."Ken |

I was pretty stoked about this also!! I don't care how bad the private jet sequence was at the end of 2, I love this character.

Yeah, the plane sequence was pretty lame wasn't it? In fact, I hate it when any movie tries to pull off one of those totally unbelievable tricks with cars, planes, etc... It makes you wonder if they truly believed they could afford CGI that would make it work or just have no common sense at all!  Rule # 1 - Never open the package Rule # 2 - No names Rule # 3 - Never try to defy gravity, logic, or just plain good taste with a poorly conceived and/or produced scene Oh well..... I'm looking forward to seeing Frank Martin back in action! Ken |

I hope they will observe Rule # 3 this time. It would make for a better film. Save the CGI for dinosaurs and space ships. Spend that money on a top notch stunt coordinator like Vic Armstrong or Terry Leonard.

As cheesy as the scene was, I did enjoy the car flipping to knock the bomb from underneath it with the crane hook.
