Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film leans right by championing individual heroism and self-reliance as the primary solution to a major crisis, contrasting with the ineffectiveness of official institutions and emphasizing personal responsibility over systemic solutions.
Transporter 2 features a cast with visible diversity in supporting roles, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white main characters. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without any explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
Transporter 2 does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely dedicated to its action-thriller plot, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity, either positive, negative, or neutral.
Transporter 2 does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely unrelated to transgender identity, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The film features Lola, a female antagonist, who engages in physical confrontations with Frank Martin. While skilled, she does not achieve victory over him or any other male opponents in direct hand-to-hand combat. Her other combat actions primarily involve firearms.
Transporter 2 is a direct sequel where established characters maintain their original genders. All other significant characters are new to this installment and do not represent a gender swap from prior canon or source material.
Transporter 2 features returning characters Frank Martin and Inspector Tarconi, whose races remain consistent with the first film. All other significant characters are new to this installment, thus no established characters undergo a race swap.
