New Transporter 3 Poster Looks Oddly Familiar

filmschoolrejects.com — I’m no expert — the comment section here at FSR has proven that time and time again — but I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that the folks over at Lionsgate, the studio currently distributing Transporter 3 here in the states, are getting a little lazy with the marketing. A few days ago, the gentlemen at JoBlo debuted the final poster

  • blaze03, on 09/02/2008, -2/+96I'm going to place this one in the "who cares" column

  • vpotok, on 09/02/2008, -0/+42by Transporter 4 the gas will be so expensive he will be using public transportation.
  • Pusod, on 09/02/2008, -1/+43i kinda like it. it shows continuity and adds familiarity.
  • IVIrMP3, on 09/02/2008, -4/+29Transporter 1 - Guns Vertical / Looking Up
    Transporter 2 - Guns Horizontal / Looking Straight
    Transporter 3 - 1 Horizontal + 1 Vertical / Looking Down
    Transporter 4 - Can't happen because creativity will have run out
  • blaze03, on 09/02/2008, -0/+22Actually, 7 out of 10 attacks are from the rear.

  • JavertHolmes, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17I guess the person that creates the Transporter posters must be the same person that creates all the Che Guevara shirt variations.
  • grimward, on 09/02/2008, -0/+13Oh, you people think it's just the transporter series? HAH I say!

    About the only thing they did alter was switching his gun from left to right in one poster.. how's THAT for lack of creativity? :P

  • FrogKermit, on 09/02/2008, -0/+11He played "Bacon" in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". And is awesome.
  • TheCash, on 09/02/2008, -1/+11As long as the movie features the 2009 A8-W12, I'll be a happy camper. Unless they pull more stupid stunts like flipping a 360 in midair to knock the bomb attached to the underside off with an overhead crane hook, that is. Even ***** drunk, that scene just didn't work for me.
  • gutistg, on 09/02/2008, -0/+9It's the same movie with some very slight differences.

    I don't see why the poster shouldn't reflect that.
  • liquisoft, on 09/02/2008, -0/+9It's brand similarity and recognition. It's practically marketing 101. It's obvious.

    And this article...it's ignorant.
  • akschnare, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8Maybe after the tenth sequel, the covers will make a flip book where you can watch him jump and shoot some guy.
  • veins, on 09/02/2008, -3/+11in the butt
  • Gizza, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8Well it makes sense that they would make poster that people can easily recognise as Transporter.
  • praisethelard, on 09/02/2008, -1/+9Transporter 5 - Guns suspended in mid-air via telekinesis
  • Pusod, on 09/02/2008, -2/+9Are you kidding me!? Transporter 4: 1 Gun shooting behind his head + 1 Gun shooting from between his legs/looking bugeyed with his teeth clenched!
  • SniperZero, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7It looks fine to me.
  • suprememilo, on 09/02/2008, -3/+9The poster owns, and I hope the movie does too.
  • cadmiumpaint, on 09/02/2008, -1/+7recycling is good for the planet, not so much in art direction.
  • deathsquadx, on 09/02/2008, -2/+8Does it take place in the arctic?
  • icurnvs, on 09/02/2008, -1/+7Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's you, mrshare, that is flaming.
  • h4mx0r, on 09/02/2008, -0/+5Or maybe it proves that his weakness is on his left side! Stop attacking the right side you noobs!
  • tm13lke, on 09/02/2008, -1/+6no, he's not
  • Exekutor, on 09/02/2008, -0/+4Get to da choppa!
  • Hellman109, on 09/02/2008, -1/+5By being a badass in films is why.

    Look at any 80's action flicks, the main heroes were never good at acting, hell some could hardly speak english!
  • chamberlanderic, on 09/02/2008, -0/+4they had me at hot chick
  • IJS209, on 09/02/2008, -1/+5who cares? It's just a movie poster.
  • Marcatto, on 09/02/2008, -2/+6Maybe I should stop looking at my monitor through a mirror's reflection, but it seems to me that he falling to the LEFT, not right.
  • speakafreaka, on 09/02/2008, -2/+5Woah! slow down tiger!
  • handheldchimp, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3I don't see anything wrong with it. If anything it kicks too much ass.
  • leftcoastfunk, on 09/02/2008, -1/+4this is news-worthy?
  • speakafreaka, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Jason Statham only has one expression: Squint and Rumbly Cockney Voice.
  • Koushiro, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Yeah, and the movies are identical too. Identically *****.
  • mmmben, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3First the guns were up, then they were sideways, and now it's both.

    I can't ***** wait.
  • eSJayBee, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3I don't see how you work for a movie site, put all three posters side-by-side and not realise that they're just going for a theme with all the posters with minor variations.

    That said, I think the sudden blue flame kind of looks out of place compared to the orange flame of the two previous posters. And yes, I agree that that woman did strike me as animé at first glance.

    Still...I can't wait for this movie. Transporter movies are just dumb, pop-corn action flicks and that's what's so good about it.
  • Dested, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2=( All my teeth play are those "Date Movie" and "Disaster Movie" movies.
  • DforSpiD, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2You shouldn't have to look that close to even realize that it's a human...
  • noahgelman, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Every star starts out as a nobody. So yeah, at one point he was a random bald guy, but now hes a bad ass mother ***** so don't mess with him
  • Garmr, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2The difference is huge, I tell you! This time around Audi is providing the budget support instead of BMW...
  • RAT-Man, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Robert Knepper is in Transporter 3. That alone makes up for the absurdity of Transporter 2.
  • twishart, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Also, he's holding his guns differently in each picture, and the title of the movie is slightly different.
  • virtorio, on 09/02/2008, -3/+5Why change what works?
  • NinjaPirateDude, on 09/02/2008, -2/+4would you change bacon?
    huh tough guy! would you!
    .....didn't think so.
  • Rev0lver, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Couldn't have possibly said it better myself.
  • swaxhog, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3What, what!?
