Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I thought Statham's character didn't actually get it on with the rescued woman until the third movie? I remember reading a complaint from someone disappointed that the character's sexuality had been left ambivalent (well, in the sense that it wasn't touched on at all) for two movies before the filmmakers noticed and decided to demonstrate his straightness.

Though I do think it plausible that someone wouldn't necessarily stop in the midst of frenetic chase and fight scenes to make out with a potential love interest. Shoot 'Em Up's contrary approach proved one of its bigger WTF moments to me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I think there was a fade-to-black makeout scene in number 1.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Transporter 1: They escape an explosion via water--both Statham and girl drop their wet clothes in a trail to the bedroom.

Transporter 2: Russian girl makes Statham strip before she'll give him the keys to the car. Then she demands a kiss. Then a better one.

Besides the scene in the first one when Statham is fighting in a garage and covered in motor oil, I remember nothing else from these two films.

But I know why Patton Oswalt gets the #stathamvapors.

That was 3. I know this because I saw it on cable yesterday.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, and I saw 2 and I didn't see that scene at all.

So I've totally forgotten Transporter 2????

I'm not surprised.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Transporter 2 is the one where he's trying to save the little kid. it's actually my favorite.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is unparalleled filmmaking, and Statham is a master thespian.
