Trivia: The oil during the oil fight was reportedly a syrup made primarily of molasses since it looked enough like oil and was safer to work with. It unfortunately had the side effect of making everyone and everything incredibly sticky for shooting of the scene.

Trivia: Reportedly, the main character Frank Martin was originally written to be subtly implied to be gay, but this idea was dropped early on. Despite the script changes, Louis Letterier, who co-directed this film and directed "Transporter 2," has said that he still considers the character to be gay (even though the films show him having sex with women), as he finds it makes the character more interesting. (Letterier even likes to claim that Martin is one of the first gay action heroes).

Trivia: "The Transporter" was not a massive hit for the studio in theaters, and a sequel wasn't considered upon initial release. However, it subsequently ended up becoming a very hot seller on DVD and was also a hit in the video-rental market and in television broadcasts, and thus a second film was eventually greenlit. The franchise at this point has spawned two sequels, a theatrical reboot and a television series that lasted two seasons.
