The Transporter In 60 Seconds

About this episode

The episode compares the films 'Gone in 60 Seconds' and 'The Transporter' focusing on their chase scenes and overall impact.

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) vs The Transporter (2002) It's a battle of the "Chase Scenes" as two action packed films go head to head for a spot on the Greatest Films of the 21st Century List. "Gone in 60 Seconds" was a big hit upon its release in 2000 but has since faded into relative obscurity. The final chase packs a punch but does the rest of the film hold up? We answer that question and more. "The Transporter" on the other hand has gone on to spawn several sequels even more successful than the original. We had a great time watching this one as it lead to some unexpected laughs and forgotten thrills. It was a really enjoyable recording and we think you will have a good time as well. So strap in, remember the rules, and be sure to give "Low Rider" a good listen before tuning in. Rate, Review, and Follow the Show please!
