[edit] About the Car

The car in the movie is not a 750 nor a 765. First of all, there is no such thing as a 765 in the generation of 7 series that was in the movie. In Europe, the 750 models either don't sell, are not very popular, or probably not sold at all. In the movie, if I recall correctly (though I saw it translated in spanish) it was referred to as a 735. Cirilobeto 23:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Realism and the film's massacre of scientific principles

Why is there no mention of it being the most far-fetched, ridiculous, insane movie of all time (and how it managed a sequel)? Mr.bonus 20:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

because that wouldn't add anything to the article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.6.92.198 (talk) 22:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

Your both wrong!209.16.81.14 21:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Uniform/Medal

what's the medal lai finds in the cupboard?

Hi: What was the uniform we saw in the first movie that was examined by the female lead actress?

[edit] two trucks; one rescued

I feel it is important that this page mention that The Transporter has one of the largest plot holes of any movie I've ever seen. Basically, two trucks are seen leaving the docks and driving down the road, and it is mentioned that two trucks contain containers full of people, but Frank only rescues one of the trucks (the second one). The other is never mentioned again after that point. The ending of the movie shows all the police surrounding the rescued truck, but the other one has vanished from the plot completely.

Although I generally don't feel it important for wikipedia to point out errors in movies, this one is special because the "hero" only completes half of his job (but he still got all of the girl). If nothing else, it should be mentioned under "miscellaneous".

Why they added the second truck I don't know, because they mentioned only 1 container earlier in the film. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dbeattie (talk • contribs) 21:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

The earlier part of the movie mentions only one container, so there's only one truck we're interested in. One of the trucks vanishes from the plot right after Frank's 'landing' on the highway. Zahn 20:26, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I think that it can be assumed that because the "bad guys" were killed that the truck would be caught by police and the people within would also be rescued. Blackngold29 (talk) 00:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
