FAVOURITE MOVIES

[rockatansky4073]

that happened alot back then, you couldn't make an AUSSIE movie without BRUCE SPENCE, VINCE GIL, HUGH KEYES, or ROBERT GRUBB in. Now you try and find a recent movie without bloody BIL HUNTER in it...

[mac afee]

Yes between 79 and 85 some damn fine aussie movies were made....then all the good directors actors...took there craft to the states

[rockatansky4073]

yeah, somebody baught that up recently, f**king sucks, we lost 'em all.


though BEN MENDELSON, is still hanging around, he's made the odd yank movie, but he always comes back, GUY PEARCE too, he still lives here, but we've definantly lost HUGO and TONI COLLETTE. i just hope DAVID WENHAM didn't get ambitious after the LORD OF THE RINGS' i like him, scared the sh*t out of me in THE BOYS. actually thats another one of my favourite movies.


they can keep RUSS, he's a bloody kiwi anyway...

Read in DVD Ireland that 'The Transporter 2' is set in Miami, no mention of what cars will be featured... only a BMW, but I read on a few websites that Lexus where keen to get involved.


Here's a bit from the article below **there's a few Spoilers**


------------------------


This time around Frank lives in Miami. The story opens with a nod to the previous movie: Frank sits alone in his souped-up BMW, listening to classical music before heading off to do a job. Then a seemingly innocent school girl knocks on his window. She claims to need help fixing a flat tire.



The meticulous, punctual Frank, not wanting to be late, declines but then finds himself staring down the barrels of two big guns. The little school girl is part of a group of vicious car jackers. As anyone who saw the first film can attest, Frank performs well under stress so you can imagine what happens next.



Frank wasn't on his way to serve as a getaway driver or a courier. His change of heart during the first film has apparently taken hold; he now serves as the chauffeur for the Billings (Valletta plays wife Vittoria). He's also become a big brother figure for the wealthy family's two sons, Devon (5) and Jack (7).



Frank Martin may have grown soft but, like a Western outlaw, he can't quite outrun his dark past and violent ways. Devon and Jack become targeted by the villainous Rene and his femme fatale Lola. After initially failing to get the two Billings boys (thanks to Frank's intervention), Rene eventually succeeds nearly 40 pages into the story.



The Billings get the FBI involved. The Feds, however, suspect that Frank may be in cahoots with Rene, given his shady background and military training. Frank falls back into his old ass-kicking ways in order to save the kids.
