Um... right. This seems a silly place
Well, I have to say I liked both Transporters. If you knew my tastes in film you would be floored, so for whatever that's worth...
I have a general dislike for action films, but I must say I do like Jason Statham as an action star.
The first Transporter was actually largely believable in terms of the action sequences. If you have the first DVD with Jason Statham's audio commentary try it out. He claims that only 2 shots in the entire film were done digitally. And he apparently did most of the stunt driving himself. Since producer Stephen Chasman was sitting next to him during the commentary and didn't refute anything Jason said, I can only assume he's telling the truth. Pretty impressive, I think.
The second film is just ridiculously over the top in terms of the action, but that's kind of what I like about it. It's not one of those films that tries to walk the line of believable and impossible. It laughs in the face of physics and human endurance.
And for my own 2 cents on the women... I'll Shu Qi from Transporter the first over Kate Nauta (sp?), the aforementioned blurry-make-upped anorexic chick, every day of the week. Although the wife from Transporter 2 (I forget her name, but she was the supermodel In Hitch) is quite loverly too.
