The Transporter

On the data. Four films and a television series, and the fourth film is not the fourth chapter. The Transporter Refueled is a reboot. Jason Statham was offered a three film deal, the negotiations collapsed, and EuropaCorp restarted the character instead with Ed Skrein. It gives Frank a father, played by Ray Stevenson, who has no counterpart in the Statham films. A new trilogy was announced at Cannes in 2013 and only the first film was made. It does not sit before or after the trilogy; it replaces it. The television series is the ambiguous one. It is described as continuing the films and Francois Berleand returns as Inspector Tarconi, the only actor to appear in both, which is a real link. Against that, Frank is recast, and no official statement has ever been made about whether the series is in continuity. It is listed after the trilogy and flagged as optional rather than asserted either way. The series is also awkward to date. It was a multinational co-production and premiered in different countries months apart; the first season began in Germany in October 2012 and the second in Canada in October 2014, which is why some listings call it a 2014 American show. HBO and Cinemax were attached and dropped out in 2013, after which TNT picked it up in America. It was cancelled in November 2015, leaving the second season's cliffhanger unresolved. Twenty four episodes in total, twelve a season, not the twelve or twenty that circulate. One small reversal worth noting on the first film: unusually for a EuropaCorp production, the American release on 11 October 2002 came before the French one on 23 October, which is the opposite way round from Taken. The distributor also changes partway through: Fox handled the first two films, Lionsgate handled the third, and EuropaCorp distributed Refueled itself. The first film was co-directed by Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen, and Yuen is frequently left off. Frank's rules are often quoted as a fixed set of three, and the number and wording vary between films, so no count is given here.
