Blockbuster Status?

Blockbuster Status: It says Transporter 3 is the first film starring Jason Statham to reach Blockbuster status. A worldwide cumulative total of over $100 million does not qualify as blockbuster and the link only takes you to the Box Office Mojo page that actually contradicts this.

Please sign your comments with4 ~s and start discussions at the bottom of the talk page.

Does anyone even know what [[Blockbuster (entertainment)|blockbuster status is anymore? I don't see a source saying this line. I also did see others mentioning Driver as the potential first (google news). Erring on the side of caution and removing.Cptnono (talk) 23:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Headlines

Jason Statham is Back as Frank Martin!, November 25, 2008

Headlines. —Erik (talk • contrib) 03:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fox

I don't know about near the top where it says it's the first not to be dis. by 20th Fox in the US, I saw it in theaters today and it has the 20th clip before the film...--Tyler (talk) 23:43, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quality?

The plot section reads like it was written by a junior-high student. Can we clean it up a bit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.46.157 (talk) 10:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. "Frank gets all excited" doesn't sound very professional at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.171.158.135 (talk) 14:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Worse, it constantly switches tenses. It was clearly written by fanboys who were desperate to tell the world about their favourite film. Couldn't they take some cues from another film entry?KhProd1 (talk) 07:57, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They could have used a better looking Russian girl then Natalya Rudakova, who IMHO looked ugly as hell. Now Olesya Rulin would have been yummy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.226.88.230 (talk) 07:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agreed. I've taught myself English off television shows and various other media. It saddens me that this very english you see here, this non-professional, or "out-of-school" english simply aces school english by MILES. I mean, honestly, what the HELL is wrong with america's school system?It keeps pumping out rejects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.52.197 (talk) 01:39, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care if you taught yourself English. Do not disrespect American schools like that. It just makes you sound like a douche. At least people want to speak English, rather than whatever garbage language your country speaks. —unsigned comment

Moving back to the original point, the Plot section is terrible; it didn't even have an ending. I've added a few points (and an ending) from this giant synopsis, but someone feel free to make further improvements. JaffaCakeLover (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary

The plot summary used to replace the infringement is taken from earlier in the article's history. Attribution for it can be found there. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Natalya Rudakova

The casting of Natalya Rudakova received substantial coverage by verifiable and reliable sources. Since an article for her does not meet WP:BIO and her page was redirected here, does it make sense to add this information to the article to convey this information?Cptnono (talk) 04:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. She looks weird. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.246.4 (talk) 02:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a forum.Cptnono (talk) 05:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oct 2010

The article was recreated by another editor then remerged back. Just wanted to note that she is showing some upcoming projects on IMDB so we might be god to go on a separate article after their release per WP:NACTOR (if the roles are significant) and/or WP:GNG (if there is signifigant coverage of her).Cptnono (talk) 22:16, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leonid Vasilev?

from where the name Vasilev came? the Jeroen Krabbé's character was referred throughout the film as "Minister", and was never addressed by name. his name was revealed only in written form, on the name sign on the conference (1h26m in the film) - "M. LEONID TOMILENKO / Ukraine". 192.28.65.210 (talk) 02:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quick google brings up pictures from Transporter 3... Could this be an oversight on the part of another editor? MisterShiney (talk) 23:53, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, for some reason I thought that this was the Taken 2 talk page. Dont know why I thought that or even why I got a email saying this has been changed, I havnt been following it. Must be time for bed. MisterShiney (talk) 23:59, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack

I thought maybe I would add a soundtrack section but I couldn't find anything more than the track list, so I decided against adding a list on it's own for now. [1][2] Might try again later though. -- 109.77.196.210 (talk) 00:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
