 | I enjoyed this movie as a fun action movie. I was hoping for more in the special delivery edition. The extended scenes are just rough cuts in editing and dont so that much more. If you own the first one you are not going to find anything that much more in this edition. If you enjoy a good action movie with an easy plot is a great film |

| This is a good action movie...not like Segal or Van Damme ones as someone wrote. The film catches your attention, keeping your eyes fixed in the screen in order to not lose any scene.
Yes, the first 3/4 of the movie are more exciting than the final 1/4 of it, but the action in the first 3/4 is so good that you don't care too much about the end of the movie. Of course, I don't mean that is a bad end....let me call it a regular end.
So, I recomnend you to by this DVD. |

| This movie was the breakout role for Jason Statham. Every celebrity has something that he/she will always be remembered for. There will always be that one thing, and for Jason, it was this movie. The first time I saw this, I saw him go up to this gangs house and ring the doorbell and kick the door down. That was funny, then I thought, ok now he's gonna pull out his gun and start shootin everyone, but no...instead, it turns in to a well choreographed martial arts fight scene. This movie, though some parts were missing, was a definate 5/5, and I hope the second one is just as good, if not better... |

| As is the custom with Hollywood studios nowadays, The Transporter is being given the double-dip treatment to coincide with the upcoming sequel. There is very little difference between the two editions, so if you already own this movie you might want avoid this one unless you are a completist.
New to this edition is an "Inside Look" that features the trailer for and a brief behind-the-scenes featurette on The Transporter 2 (2005) which promises more of the same only cranked up a few more notches.
There is an audio commentary by actor Jason Statham and producer Steven Chasman. The two men offer anecdotal recollections of making this movie with the occasional gaps.
Another new extra is "Behind the Scenes...The Transporter," a 35 minute featurette that explores various aspects and mixes on the set footage with clips from the movie. It shows how some of the exciting car chases were orchestrated, rehearsal footage of Statham's fight scene in the bus (with some funny bits as he tries to get a knife trick right) and how certain special effects (i.e. explosions) were done. This is a good look at how this film came together.
Also included is the previous version's making of featurette that was more of a promo puff piece.
There is a "Storyboard-to-Film Comparison" for some scenes from the movie that allows you watch the storyboards and the film separately or view them both simultaneously.
"Extended Fight Sequences" features the first edit of three fight scenes with optional commentary by Statham, Chasman and director Yuen. Statham is candid in voicing his disappointment at the cuts that were made because they disrupted the rhythm of the sequences. Yuen talks about how he wanted the action to service the story and not the other way around.
Finally, there are trailers for the movie. |

| I think that this is a great movie. It is an action packed adventure movie that is kinda similiar to XXX. Jason Statham is really good in this movie. It may get kinda slow sometimes but thats o.k. A very fun movie. I cant wait until Transporter 2!!!! |
