Indeed the characters of the movie do get more ridiculous. Look I'm no PC prude believe me, but I'm just pointing out the obvious in this movie (and it gets worse).

Cos why would this gang need her? Do they really need her to carjack one man? (there were 4 of them). There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to have that hot chick in the schoolgirl outfit other than giving the male audience (and director presumably) a boner. The action will be more exuberant and heavy hitting, whilst inexplicably strewn with females in ridiculously skimpy outfits for no real reason. This one scene pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this new entry. Turns out Martin is just about to be carjacked by a gang of African American males.and their white female accomplice? So long story short, Martin obviously beats the shit outta these guys and calmly carries on with his latest mission. Cometh the hour cometh the man, accept this time Martin is stopped in his tracks by a hot female dressed in a skimpy schoolgirl outfit (mmmmm). The only difference here is Martin is now sitting in a black Audi A8 (probably for money/sponsorship reasons). Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is seating peacefully in his car waiting for the precise time to start his latest mission. So this second entry starts off in exactly the same way as the first movie. So naturally just like the Marseille set car romp, this hitman thriller also wound up with a sequel which amped up what came before it ('Taxi' actually went on to have 4 sequels). Much like his 1998 action car flick 'Taxi' Luc Besson found success with this hitman/car action flick which was somewhat slick but also rather stupid (accept 'Taxi' had no hitman).
