He's smart enough to take what comes his way, and because of these movies he's pretty much the biggest action star going right now. I still won't see the movie ( I haven't seen any of them so far) but it doesn't bother me that it was made or anything. I don’t begrudge Statham these flicks.

That's a badass name. As far as Transporter goes, I wasn't a fan of the first one or the second one really. It's kind of neat seeing the over-the-top crazy action stuff sometimes, but other times it's just too silly. Like when there's a bomb underneath Statham's car in the second one and he jumps off a ramp, flips upside down in the air, and snags the bomb off the car with a crane or whatever? I just scoff at some stuff like that. Then again, I can't wait to see what Timur Bekmambetov is going to do with Wanted and Twilight Watch, so maybe I'm just full of shit. Either way, I could do without Transporter 3, but I've got nothing against it, I suppose. In general I'm more of a Jackie Chan kind of CG-free guy. Project A represent!

I suppose that doesn't really constitute a "craze". Well, there’s that District B13 movie, and a bunch of other Luc Besson flicks. I suppose that doesn’t really constitute a “craze”.

When I said American I really meant English language. I'm thinking about the modern day gunfight/carchase action movie with a dash of fight scenes. Hong Kong still makes these things in abundance. I'm really into Jackie Chan's schoolmates; Cory Yuen co-directed the first one and that is where the kung fu influence comes from. There's a French action craze? I need to check that out.

It's produced by Luc Besson and shot in Europe... it's more a part of the French action craze I think. Is it really an American action movie though?

I guess it doesn't matter though because it's not like losing Sam Raimi off of Spider-man 3. I'm looking forward to it; there aren't enough real world American action movies any more.
