Saw this the other night, quite good. It has a very simple plot, bad guy Pissess off other not nearly as bad bad guy (I very rarely use the same word twice consecutively, but when I do do it it works ;) ).

The fight scenes manage to combine some pretty good down to earth stuff with the odd bout of extreme silliness that just makes you laugh!

Fight scene to top this year, where our 'anti-hero' Frank Martin has his top off and covers himself and the floor in motor oil so the 8+ bad guys can't get a grip of him whilst he runs about with bike pedals strapped to his feet for grip and kicks the cr@p outta them :)

Also a good scene where he uses his t-shirt to wrap up 2 baddies at the same time.

I saw the trailers in the States this summer - been wanting to see it since. Glad to hear it's a bit of a laugh - it looked like it'd have some pretty good scenes in it - I'm gonna try and make it this weekend...will report back then! Has anyone seen Jackie Chan's new one - Tuxedo??

The Transporter- Good fun way to waste 2 hours. Some realistic fight scenes, some not so realistic. Favorite is when he ties up the 2 guys with his t-shirt. That and the 2 cops while he has the girl in his arms. If you go the movie for enternainment, it's money well spent. Don't expect any Oscar performances though. Overall action flick rating 5 fists!
The Tuxedo- Total Jackie Chan silliness. If you love Jackie, you will love this one. Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon are better movies, but you still have to see this one. Love the fight scene in his hotel room while fending off an amorous women, while his partner is attacked outside.
Total action flick rating 5 fists!

I liked the film, weird seeing the baldie guy from Snatch kickin`ass Kung Fu stylee though.
Also weird seeeing how skinny the bad guy is, he was a right fat git in blade 2 and the fast and the furious

He was Chupa, the guy with the werd blonde streak through his hair.
Chupa incidentally means "sucky" in Spanish, I found it funny

Ah, yeah he did have a bit more meat on him in Blade.

Not a bad movie, I liked it.
Some of the scenes were good, and others bs. The oil one was definitely good.
