Posterwire notes the similarity between the posters for THE TRANSPORTER 2 and FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. It’s sad commentary on movies today that the poster for a cutting-edge, French action movie is actually tamer than a 20-year-poster for a geriatric Roger Moore 007 film…
I used to have the original pre-release FOR YOUR EYES ONLY poster, in which Bond is facing the woman and shooting at her, but it was destroyed in the Northridge earthquake, ripped by the broken glass from the shattered frame.
Homage or Rip-off? Nah, just another cheeky poster.
Btw, that’s a GREAT photo of you! You actually look like you’re in a positive mood.
Watch out Lee. They’re coming from Pod-dy-mouth.
I also prefer the Bond poster. You just don’t see enough women armed with crossbows anymore …
Did you see THE TRANSPORTER? It was French, I’ll give you that much, but cutting-edge? It looked to me like Luc Besson recycling everything he’d already recycled.
And this is the sequel.
That shot in the poster looks like a rip-off of John Woo, doesn’t it.
This is sure to be a fantastic movie.
It may be recycled, but man that oil scene. Oh baby 😉
You’ll hate me for this…but I really liked THE TRANSPORTER and am looking forward to the sequel.
I probably would have liked it if I hadn’t seen LA FEMME NIKITA, LEON, and THE FIFTH ELEMENT not too long beforehand.
Has Luc Besson ever made a movie where a girl doesn’t crawl through ductwork?
I’ve been dying for this thing. I love that film. It may be a rehash, but it was an entertaining rehash. That scores points with me. At least it wasn’t WASUBI (but I kinda liked that also).

Isn’t this type of photo common? I have a CD from Japan with a photo in it that looks just like this.
