When leaving the police station after Frank's house was blown up, Lai goes to take a taxi; the taxi is a white Peugeot 406, the same taxi the main character drives in Luc Besson's Taxi (1998).

Goofs
When Frank uses the stethoscope to listen to the shipping containers, he has the earpieces backwards. The tubes should be going forward (into the ear canal), instead of into the back of his ears.

Lai's hair appeared to be relatively straight when she was shown bound and gagged in Wall Street's basement. Her hair was suddenly much more curly in the next scene where Frank takes her to his house later that night. She couldn't have had a chance to fix her hair since she was tied up the whole time.

When Frank drags the girl out of the back seat of the Mercedes she has the slit in the tape on her mouth. After sets the girl in the road and leaves, the tape has no hole in it.

Quotes
Tarconi: Monsieur Frank, people with this kind of firepower do not make mistakes about who they visit. Who would want you this dead?

Lai: He's a bastard, but he's still my father.

Mr. Kwai: The delivery will be made. My daughter will get over it. If I'm lucky, she'll see the light.

Q
What are the differences between the PG-13 theatrical version and the French uncut version of this movie?
A
To obtain a PG-13 rating, The Transporter had to be cut and Fox used this version not only for the cinema release but also for the home media release. Other countries used this master, too, e.g. Britain and Australia. Altogether there is only about ten seconds missing in the PG-13 version. A detailed comparison between both versions can be found here.
Q
Did Wall Street die?
A
Yes, Frank grabs him by the neck with his legs and flings him out of a moving truck at a high speed. He is shown to have landed on his head and a crunch noise is clearly heard. Even if he didn't land on his head, the speed at which he hit the ground would have been more than enough to kill him.
