Transporter 3

During the scene at the gas station when Valentina gets out of the car, Frank grabs her by the wrist.

Between shots, Frank's grip alters between around her wrist below the bracelet, to her hand above the bracelet, then back to the wrist.

Frank breaks the left front door window when entering with his legs in the car and hitting the other driver out.

Next scene, and the rest of the movie, the window it is brand new again.

However, it could be that he replaced the window when he was at the garage making a call to Inspector Tarconi.

- PLOTFrank drives an armored and bullet-proof Audi that numerous bullets fail to leave marks upon, yet twice he is able to easily kick out a window with his feet.

When Frank and Valentina are in the car arguing about the music volume, Frank uses the car menu navigation wheel for adjusting volume.

This is not possible in an Audi.

You can constantly see that the tail lights from the Audis are sometimes from the older model and some times from the redesigned one.

When on the bridge wheel spinning the car to jump in to the lake only the rear wheels are spinning but this is a 4 wheel drive car so it would be impossible to do this.

When Frank sits on top of the train with his car and the bad guys disconnect two parts of the train, the train would automatically come to a halt as a pressured breaking line would be severed.

This is a security feature added since the days of the steam train.

In the scene when they about to have sex, Frank left his suit, shirt and tie on the ground, but in the next shot these things magically disappear.

When Frank and Valentina are arguing over the keys by the cliff, just after Frank discovers the phone books, the position of the phone book on the ground changes from close to the car, far from the car and disappearing.

When Frank is being chased in the woods by the Mercedes he slams on his brakes to disarm the machine gun from the gunman in the rear passenger seat.

(about 59min 30sec).

When the machine gun hits his rear bumper it breaks the gunners arm but not before it takes off the Audi's driver's side mirror.

The next clip just a few seconds later has the side mirror back in perfect condition.

In the scene where Johnson is convincing Frank to drive for him, he turns a gun on Frank after shooting one of his own men with it.

In most of the scenes, he is holding what is obviously a 1911-style handgun.

In one shot, however, when he is holding it to Frank's head, he is clearly holding a Beretta M92 in lieu of the 1911.

After kicking through his driver's window to retake his car, Frank drives off, but there is insufficient road noise to merit a missing window, Valentina's hair does not blow, and a car window is visible in the vehicles reflection on the building.

Just before Frank is waking up after being taken by Johnson's men, he is shown lying from directly above, and you can see that he has nothing on his right hand/wrist.

As soon as he wakes up, and sits up, he scratches his head with right hand, and explosive bracelet is suddenly there.

When Frank gets the second code, the city name "Bucarest" is blinking on his car screen.

Whilst the city's name is spelled "Bucharest" in English, the H is dropped in the French spelling of the city.

- PLOTWhen Valentina first shows Frank the explosive bracelet, it's quite obvious that the bracelet is large enough that, with a little soap or other lubricant, she could fairly easily slip it off her wrist and leave it in the car.

At 1' 26" of the film, the nameplate at the conference shows the ministers' name as M.

Leonid Tomilenko, not Leonid Vasilev as the credits show.

On the first shot of Budapest's streets you can see a tram.

No trams like that run in Budapest, actually, the outdoor shots aren't from Budapest, but from Ukraine as you can see on the plates on the same shot.

Later, the public phone rings and Frank answers it.

There is no outdoor public phone without box in Budapest.

In one scene, Frank tries to save his sinking Audi by inflating body bags with the air from his tires to make it float to the surface.

Though seemingly unlikely, it may be possible since car tires are filled with compressed air.

Deflating all four tires may provide enough expanded air for the body bags to make the car float.

When the bad guy threatens Frank Martin with death after the botched attempt by Frank's friend he holds a gun to his face and threatens to shoot.

In the mid-closeup the gun is a 1911 type; in the more dramatic closeup showing a portion of the pistol and Frank's face it is obvious that the gun being held to Frank's face is a Beretta 92.

The open slide is the give-away.

In the scene where Frank breaks the left front door window we see first, how Frank jumps into the car but his feet don't break the window but disappear in the car without breaking the window.

In this scene the window was obviously open.

After this short scene, from a different perspective, we see how the window breaks and Frank jumps into the closed window.

The entire premise of the movie is that a government minister's daughter is kidnapped to force him to sign a contract.

As soon as the contract is signed, the daughter will be returned.

There is no logical reason for the minister to not go ahead and sign the contract, recording the meeting, then, as soon as his daughter is returned, he publicly announces what happened, arrests everyone he can get his hands on, and declares the contract void.

Governments can declare any contract they enter void for much less valid reasons.

Near the end of the film, when Leonid Vasilev is close to joining the environmental congress that is going on in Odessa, one of the signs promoting the upcoming lecture is shown'European Union Lecture On Environemental Studies'.

This should of course be 'Environmental'.

Some of the German license plates do not have the correct German license plate font type.

When Frank and Val are on the way to Budapest and the GPS says "wrong direction", they leave a two-lane road, not a six-lane highway, as it is on the GPS's screen.

On the top of the train when Frank uses the handbrake, it sounds like a "classic handbrake", but in this car there is electric handbrake, that can be activated with a button left to the lever.

Frank's car almost has a crash with a Renault 25.

The Renault has a license plate starting with "RO" and the Romanian flag, but the ID number it's not a Romanian valid car number - it's actually Hungarian.

(In Hungary the car ID is, for example, ABC-123, but in Romania it's XY 12 ABC, where XY denotes the county).

- PLOTNear the beginning of the movie, when the two ship crewman die after being exposed to poisonous chemicals inside the cargo container, their skin is bloodied and appears melted from chemical burns which implies some type of biological poisonous gas deadly to skin contact; however, shipmates investigating the cargo container break-in are wearing gas masks with their face/hand skin exposed.

After Frank was hit in his house and fainted out, he walks up in a facility, in the first shot, there's no bracelet around any of his wrists -only the watch around his left wrist, but in the second shot the bracelet appears suddenly around his right wrist.

At the beginning of the movie when the 2 guys are fishing, one hooks on to a big fish.

They are using open-faced spinning rods and reels, but you don't turn the handle to bring large weights up.

First you need to pump the rod to make slack and then wind fast to take up that slack.

If you do it the way they did, the line twists and breaks.

The lake water flooding into Frank's car would short-circuit the transmitter, so triggering the bracelet's detonator.

(at around 1 min) Frank hands Valentina currency with 50 on it.

The orientation of the bill changes direction.

right side up, then down.

When the car is pulled out the lake and Frank is working under the hood.

The inspector tries to start the car with a key.

In the beginning of the movie, and on the train Frank starts the car with a button.

When the Mercedes Benz is launched off the cliff after the off-road chase, the launch rod is visible underneath the car.

It is positioned in the middle of the car's undercarriage.

(at around 1 min) When the BMW goes over the cliff, the tow launch strap is visible flapping in the breeze.

Oh, how I miss the days when the world didn't know that Jason Statham had a decent body or a desire to be seen a the stiff lipped Brit that could pull off Jackie Chan like moves! Its kind of hard to take this film seriously when it seems to delight in running down the USA with a series of off cuff remarks that stand out as much for their voracity as for their irrelevance.

Once again I find myself stuck, I really do want to like Jason Statham movies, the sad fact though is I can't. Once again into the fire we go.

This hasn't been verified (yet), but I think Transporter 3 is an attempt to make the stupidest film of all time on every single level, from the characters to the editing to Jason Statham chasing an Audi S8 on a BMX. Even the tag-line makes no sense.

I Just finished watching the movie and I must say It doesn't fit the bill at all. The whole transporter storyline seems to be fading with each passing part.

In bollywood (Indian movies) it is a general belief that a few film makers call up the actor and tell him that their new movie will have 5 songs, 4 fights, 2 romantic scenes and 1 emotional scene. If the actor agrees, then the producers look for a script writer.

I've always been a fan of the Transporter movies - working off a proved formula of slightly unbelievable stunts and great fight choreography. But the question needs to be asked...

Read through all the reviews of this movie. Big fan of the first two myself and just got back from watching this.

Boy did I have a good time watching this one. As soon as the first action sequences started I knew I was glad I came to see it.

I love Jason Statham as a new but also old school style Action hero & i love most of his films & yes i liked the first two Transporter films but this 3rd is terrible. Now Statham is fine & does what he does & is good in his signature role as Frank Martin but the whole film is feels like a mess really, it's a road movie with the most annoying & unattractive women I've seen in a movie for a long time!!!
