It comes out next month here. All the imports are getting ready assemble at the movie theatres,where everyone will be treated to gaudy Honda's driving like idiots. The police will probably have field day !
Is this sillyness happening in Europe too ??

I'll have the Mustang on stand by..

Booo hisss.... the Rice and the Furious was the worst movie since Drivel.

Why does a 1/4 mile drag race take 25sec?
Why do they weigh down their race cars with 4 tonnes of stereo?
Why do they hit the Nos button only at the end of a drag?
Why was Vin Deisel scared of the V8?
Why why why??

Why does it matter and why do you care? Remember one man's imports are another man's domestic. A Mustang is an import to me and it has the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Bring on the NAAWWWSSSSSSSSSS!!

Bluebottle · 11 May 2003, 21:32 (Ref:596352)

Oh deep joy.

**Spudgun** · 11 May 2003, 21:58 (Ref:596381)

I don't know what's worse. Fast and the Furious or Driven.

Bluebottle · 11 May 2003, 22:04 (Ref:596384)

They're both worse!!
In fact, they're so bad I havn't seen either of them!!

Alpina · 11 May 2003, 22:05 (Ref:596387)

You guys have short memories. What about Days of Thunder?

Warwick · 12 May 2003, 06:17 (Ref:596600)

compared to Fast and the Furious and Driven,days of Thunder was a masterpeice

Alpina · 12 May 2003, 10:25 (Ref:596718)

Gettaway. Although I have never driven. T F and t F. wasn't that bad. I loved the honda stunt driving.

429CJ · 13 May 2003, 18:32 (Ref:598193)

Every movie, where Vin Diesel has any major role, is catastrophy.

kmchow · 14 May 2003, 22:03 (Ref:599183)

It depends what are you movie viewing standards. If you're looking for Academy award winning acting, you're definitely going to be disappointed.

OTOH, f you going to see the movie for the cars, the import lifestyle, hot people (yes, it's an equal oppportunity world) and pure entertainment, I think you will be thoroughly satisfied.

AussieV8 · 14 May 2003, 22:50 (Ref:599209)

The Fast and Furious sequel doesn't have Vin in it as he wanted to much money. The cars look great and the hot pink Honda S2000 should be a topic within itself..

The Mazda RX7 has return with the Supra and a few new ones.

"import lifestyle" Do you mean those people who run around in yank tanks and cowboy boots?

Just like all Scotsmen wear kilts and are soccer hooligans ??

Alpina · 16 May 2003, 10:25 (Ref:600751)

Can't you Canucks get anything right? The English are the soccer hooligans (in the news right now) The Scottish Kilt wearing Tartan Army are the friendly if unshaven and smelly side of football.
As for the "Import lifestyle". It irritates me that North americans forget that there are other parts of the world and that this site is global. My point was that in the UK people driving US motors have the import lifestyle.

Bluebottle · 16 May 2003, 15:29 (Ref:601107)

I think we get the idea now chaps, I must admit though that I wondered what Mr Pony meant by "...all the imports...."

Uhhh, I don't think it was me, but in case it was--I'm not saying the Brits don't have a import car crazy lifestyle. But in the case of the FF2, I think there are more globally recognized cars like the Evo8. Heck, we in NA, are the ones behind the times!

Of course, I personally don't approve of guys driving cars with sewer sized exhausts tips, those tacky bodykits or people who put Nismo stickers on their Chevy (GM) Sprints!

Alpina · 21 May 2003, 14:06 (Ref:605913)

Funny, in the UK the Vauxhall Nova is the prime culprit and it is a GM car too.

I must have misread the title. I thought it was going to be called the fat and the furry-assed

Smokey 6 litre · 22 May 2003, 12:12 (Ref:606740)

not all high speed car films are bad, Vanashing point is a great film.
Car modding looks good, unless it is poorly done, there are a few examples of bad Nova and Fiestas where i live.

Highlander · 27 May 2003, 16:45 (Ref:611606)

Having seen a clip of FF2 last night at the cinema, most of the stunts and car chase sceens are CGI's. F&F was a truely bad film and only worthy for straight to video or a free gift on Max Power.

Alpina · 30 May 2003, 15:31 (Ref:614860)

Oooh Highlander you are harsh ssss. There are a lot worse movies out there eg Independence Day now that was a bloody awful overhyped movie.

Bluebottle · 30 May 2003, 15:58 (Ref:614898)

Yeah, but at least it was fun!

Alpina · 30 May 2003, 21:34 (Ref:615259)

No cos the bad guys won!
