100 Things we learned from Transporter 2


1) If their is a bomb under your car, the best way to get rid of it is to ramp your car, doing a perfect spiral flip and scrap it off with a conveniently located hook.

2) After you land that(perfectly of course), just drive away...

3) Frank Martin actually drives K.I.T.T.

4) Helicopter following you? Couple of shots from a Glock will destroy it. Completely.

5) Jet Skis can slide on concrete for at least half a mile

6) There are ramps located all over Miami

reply

7) If a plane crashes into the ocean front-first, water will rush in through the back.

8) Airplanes can freely spin in circles while flying

9) It's never a good idea to decorate your living room walls with swords

10) If a car crashes, it WILL explode

reply

11) If you are posing as a nurse at the Doctor's office, it is best to show up in your sleaziest lingerie and spiky heels, to look inconspicous.

reply

12) All doors are bulletproof.
13) If you walk into a building after a fire, there will be no water damage from the firehoses.

It came in the front. More remarkably, if your plane crashes at several hundred miles into the water, you'll be fine.

Death to shakeycam directors!

reply

It is true that the water came in through the shattered windshield, but then despite that the plane was sinking front first, during the fight the cockpit was not yet submerged and the glass was still intact. Clearly at that point in the production a collective decision was made to just *beep* it.

15) Evil henchwoman will always carry two guns and fire on you in an open public place, with guns that never ever need to be reloaded.

reply

16) Turning on the fire-hose is predictable, in the best possible way.

reply

17) Jason Sathtam can dodge bullets (at the begining of the scene where he chases the henchman out of the building, in the jetski, injects him, etc.)

18) A frenchman can sneak around a US Marshalls office without being caught and will be left unattained for his entire detainment

19) bullets can't go through anything.

20) childrens hospitals are extremley ungaurded and never locked, neither are crime scenes

21) US Marshalls dont know how to trace calls and yet Jason Statham can find your house with no problem.

22) Jamacian cabbies are along for any ride

23) Big people can't fight in boats

24) a suit and tie, lingere with high heels, all perfect things to fight in that are never constricting or problematic

5) Jet Skis can slide on concrete for at least half a mile
And catch a bus.
8) Airplanes can freely spin in circles while flying
Not sure what that means, but I saw a flat spin, which is one of the
more difficult failures modes to recover from.
10) If a car crashes, it WILL explode
And not just explode, but disintegrate.
12) All doors are bulletproof.
But the hinges are so shoddy that the door will pop off if anyone
bumps into it. And only office doors are bullet-proof: car doors are
not.

25) At least one person has a car with a fancy computerized ignition
lock but not a proximity alarm.

26) A 105-pound waif-like fashion model can fire two fully-automatic
9-mm pistols simultaneously, one in each hand, without any hint of
muzzle rise.

27) If you are captured by the Bad Guys, they won't shoot you -- they'd
rather blow you up, for some reason. ("You just don't get it, Scott, do
you?")

28) If a bomb explodes under your car, you will certainly be killed, but
if it explodes NEAR your car, you'll be fine.

29) Bullet-proof glass looks just like regular auto glass (and bullets
not only don't penetrate, they don't even leave marks). The extra weight
doesn't affect the car's performance or handling.

30) Parkour is good practice for chasing bad guys (but being an alumna
of Cirque du Soleil is not so helpful).

31) A 1940s-era hypodermic syringe (with needle attached) can take any
amount of abuse without breaking, leaking, or malfunctioning.

32) If arrested, you have a right to unrestricted use of any computer
you find, without need for a password, and without anyone asking any
questions.

33) Bad-guy scientists working in infectious diseases labs leave loaded
guns lying around for anyone to pick up but never lock their doors.

34) Galileo was wrong: humans fall faster than vials of anti-virus --
but if the fragile glass envelope breaks, the antivirus somehow becomes
useless, so you might as well throw it away.

35) Doctors make house calls and can diagnose "a minor viral infection"
without any need for patient history or lab tests.

36) Frank can safely administer an intravenous injection of anti-virus
without knowing the correct dose. (And, unless I missed something, one
injection will cure mother, son, and Frank!)

37) If a pilot leaves the controls, an airplane will immediately go
horribly out of control.

38) When an airplane is falling end-over-end through the air, the floor
inside will remain horizontal, and people will be able to walk (and
fight) on it.

To be honest, I learned some of these from TV Tropes
(http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage).

39) Audi A8L W12 is a tough car: drive it through a concrete barricade, drop it a couple of stories (more than once), set off a bomb near it -- won't blow the tires, won't affect the suspension, won't even scratch the paint.

40) French police officers will fly all the way from France to Miami for a vacation but only stay for 2 days or less.

reply

41) When an airplane crash into the ocean, you still can fight with someone and there's 7-8 boats that will arrived in the same time to rescue you.

42) You can easily access the U.S. Marshall computers from a Car in less than a minute with the help from someone who never touch those systems.

43) When 10 people are shooting at your car, just get yourself out of windows way and you'll be fine. Bullets don't go through a Cab door.

reply

44) If you're in a plane going 500 miles an hour, nose first into the ocean, just shout " O SHTT" and jump away from the impact, and everything will be fine.

reply

45) Chicks with guns are hot.

46. All buildings have easily removable ventilation panels which connect to all other rooms.

47. If you are trying to protect a child, the best way to do it is to cause a huge explosion nearby with an oxygen tank, which would be big enough to destroy the whole building.

48. If you are placing a bomb under a car, a) ensure that it has a handy flashing red light and b) make sure you park it over a puddle so that it can be clearly seen.

49. A car can launch itself off a building and fly neatly through a hole in an adjacent building.

50. Whenever something spectacular or strange happens, there will always be a drunk nearby who will look at his bottle in puzzlement.

reply

51) Always have a spare outfit in the trunk of your car in case you run into trouble. You can change it in the street in front of an explosion and no-one will care.

reply

52.) You can be sure that the first nurse with a food tray you encounter is bringing the food to the patient you supposedly trying to visit.

53.) Children will rush out from the school's front door at exactly the same time the bell rings, as if that door is their classroom door.

54.) Sandwiches served for detainees in US Marshall offices only comes with tissue paper, no plates or any plasticware.

55.) A stylish way to remove a kendo helmet is to let a kendo stick impale the helmet while you are wearing it.

56.) Jump under moving 18 wheelers, because you know they will stop in time and not crush you while chasing antidotes down the street.

These "things I learned" threads are stupid.

Actually I think this one is great and reassures me that my fellow IMDbers were absorbing the same things about this flick as me, even while also enjoying it.

57) Cars can be sped across sand with the same tires used to zip along pavement.

58) The charms of a gorgeous blond crook can be resisted without switching sides & begging to marry her. Yeah, right.

Excellent thread! If any film needed one of these it's this one :-)

59) If you're a bunch of guys carrying a serious arsenal of automatic guns chasing another guy who has sneaked onto your boss's property and you are ordered to take him out, best thing to do is to mysteriously lose your guns in the next shot and instead pick up assorted hand weapons such as fire axes and garden tools, conveniently allowing the good guy to display his amazing hand to hand combat skills.

60) If you've just taken off in an aeroplane and have started a fight and the plane goes out of control, the plane's altitude will suddenly look like the fight started at 35,000 ft and will fall from there.

61) When the pilot gets shot and falls back in his seat, not even holding the steering column, the plane will quickly change from diving towards the earth to a pure 90 degree vertical climb, allowing even more fight sequence time. All the while, the fighting guys don't even think about saving their own lives before crashing.

62) If you've just been through a massive superhuman ordeal, one of the biggest adventures of your life, and you are visiting the family whose lives and son you saved in hospital, have made the trip specially and have even bought a bunch of flowers for them, if you hear the kid make some potato joke just before you go in the door, let this change your mind about seeing them at all. Instead, cooly utter the punchline to yourself and inexplicably walk away.

1. If you're a mother, you can scream, "I'M THE MOTHER, I'M THE MOTHER!", push past your husband, the police, and the bomb squad, and yank open the doors of a van that might be rigged to explode to save your son who's inside. Regardless of the fact that you might blow up your son, yourself and anyone else trying to save him.

2. You can can jump on the back of a jetski and flip the blonde in front of you over your head and she'll land perfectly seated behind you and not into the water.

3. Statham will never question a script he's given.

In regards to:

The bad guys had already stated that they were out of ammo and that the ammo was in the garage where our indestructible hero was already waiting. So they dropped the guns to grab other weapons because they were empty.

Thanks Tony, you can replace it with:

59) If you're a bunch of guys carrying a serious arsenal of automatic guns chasing another guy who has sneaked onto your boss's property and you are ordered to take him out, best thing to do is to use up all your ammo at the same time so you all have to convene in the garage where our indestructible, psychic hero is already waiting, dropping your guns to grab other weapons such as fire axes and garden tools, conveniently allowing the good guy to display his amazing hand to hand combat skills.

63) a human skull can go through a cinder block wall unfazed.

64) if you get thrown head first through a cinder block wall you will be able to get up and continue to fight.

reply

Yes, which leads to another thing: If, somehow, the bad guys do run out of ammunition, they won't have a single extra clip to reload with and will have to leave to get more ammo.
