Hulu
Transporter 2 (12/1)
Jason Statham’s no-questions-asked man of action returns for the second of three Transporter movies. In this 2005 installment, he’s trying to protect a young boy while chauffeuring behind the wheel of a luxurious Audi A8.
The Fast and the Furious (12/1)
Go back to where it all started in 2001 with the first movie in the Fast & Furious franchise. It’s a much more down-to-earth movie compared to the increasingly huge and farfetched blockbusters that followed. If you want to keep watching, Hulu is adding 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) at the same time, along with Fast & Furious (2009) on Dec. 16.
