The Transporter - Oil Fight Scene Yes, I know it is utter bullshite, but it is still Bloody Good Fun to watch. Mark me down as a big Jason Statham fan.
This movie is great, this is the same kind of pseudo slapstick that Jackie Chan is so good at, except Jason Statham seems to have his own style, so it doesn't feel stale at all. That fight with the toe clips from the bike was so awesome.
I just saw a teaser for the reboot on Netflix..realizing the REBOOT came out in goddamn 2015, when I grew up with transporter makes me feel super old hahaha. These movies were so kickass and really solidified him as an action guy, his roles in Snatch and The One were good but he was just a hard ass cop/gangster, not an action star
I will say, there's a reason the raid and protector revolutionized the stunt work/modern action cinema of wick etc, they're definitely way up there, but transporter definitely was one of the first modern action movies that really went all in on good stunt work, creative fight scenes and shooting it properly without BS rapid cuts like Bourne
Jason Stratham...shirtless. And oiled up (Hello!!). Awesome fight scene. Innovative (love the bike pedal idea). He kicks ass all over them. A can’t go wrong sequence.
The scene of using own cloth as weapon and the grease fight scene was later on mention by the filmmakers taken inspiration from Jet Li's earlier film from Once upon a time in China part 3. Where he was trapped in a fight with the floor filled with oil.
The scene is very funny when no one of the thugs cannot grab Frank Martin because of the oil on his body, but also a little painful when he uses the footswitches of a bike to defeat them all. Frank Martin isn't only an excellent fighter, but also a good improvisor
i believe that martial art that Jason is doing is all wing chun the fight was great especially when he poors oil all over him he also uses the bad guy as a bulletproof vest i hope Jason is in the new transporter film.
How is this not the biggest meme on the internet? This nigga just went Legs Akimbo on 40 dudes, finishing with the quadruple wheel kick back-to-back-to-back-to-back, and then slid away like a fucking emperor penguin.
