The Transporter

Has anyone seen The Transporter. It's a martial-arts action movie, but the ending semi-truck chase scene is very reminiscent of scenes in Raiders:

* A driver tries to knock off someone climbing the sides of the truck by running him into road signs (instead of palm fronds).

* The hero ends up clinging to the undercarriage of the truck after being thrown out of the cab.

* The hero swings back into the cab delivering a solid hit to the driver.

* The hero reacts to a gunshot while being held at gunpoint, but his lady friend shot the gunman.

I believe I enjoyed the scene more because I could see the Indy influences. It didn't feel like a complete rip-off.
