i found this while on a 1;1 car forum link to a different video. anyway what do you guys think? is it going to be bad of good? i think by them adding bow wow they messed it badly.

I think even if it is a good movie, it will flop with the name "Fast And Furious" in it. That movie has been more of a laughing stock than anything. But every ricer kid has it. None will admit it, but they do. I thought the 1st two were pretty decent. Had hot chicks and cars, can't go wrong with that, But lil bow wow being one of the leads?? Nah..
 
i think the first one was the best.

and i will admit i have 1 and 2 of the fast and the furious. did you know they were supposed to come out with a game but it only came out in the u.k from what i heard.
 
What a joke,

I was "drifting" in my 67 Chrysler Newyorker at 16 years old some 25 years ago,,gravel roads were a cinch, wet roads were a small challenge, and dry pavement meant pure fun. This "drifting" thing isn't a new concept,,it's just that there are now light enough cars that most anyone with a driver's license is now trying it.

^ True that. Its funny how people been doing it for years and it was no big deal. Now the ricers think they invented something and its this huge fad now. Anyone who has ever drove a little crazy on a gravel road or driven a 2 wheel drive 4 wheeler has drifted.. Whooptidy do.. Lets make a movie on it...lol.. Silly ricers.. I just can't wait until the fad is overwith. I dont think F&F will let it. Hopefully it backfires and will be the nail in the coffin.
 
Definately the nail in the coffin, the trailer sucked bad, and the movie can only get worse. I "drifted" twenty years ago, only we called it fishtailing back then. And dirt track racers have been "drifting" for decades. Now slap on a few oversized fiberglass wings, spoilers, ground effects, all useless and add a shitload of weight, give it a disgusting paintjob and bam, rice drifter. Man I hope this poop goes away soon!
 
I admit... I actually went to see F&F number one when it was in the theater. The movie was ok, but the funny part was after the movie. All the kids with their supped up Civics and such, tore out of the parking lot spining tires and driving way to fast. Little did they know the Sheriff's department had like 8 cops just waiting for them.... there must have been 10 cars pulled over. Great stuff!

Now thats funny right there LOL
 
i like how they keep making new movies to keep up with the new fads

1 was drag racing
2 was street racing
3 is drifting
they had decent action sceens and a few hotties, but the plot and story lines sucked on both.

that charger was friggin insaine though, even though it wasn't "real"
 
the first one was alright, it had some corny moments like,"I need nosss, one of the big ones. No we better make it two." I thought that was hilarious the way he made it sound like the bigger the nitrous bottle the bigger the nitrous shot.

It also ruined the street racing scene where i used to live. every saturday night everyone would go out to a rual 2 lane highway around midnight and street race. the cops would just come and make everyone leave. after the movie and everyone with a honda civic equiped with a coffecan muffler and big wing started racing in residental areas, it ruined it for everyone. now the arrest you, suspend your license, and take your car for a certain period of time.

GOOD! And they should! Street racing endangers innocent peoples lives. I tell you what, some street racer hits one of my kids, and he wont make it to jail, or court for that matter. I raced a lot when I was younger, but I went to a drag strip and did it legaly, and the only one you endangered was yourself.
 
I have to admit, I liked the first one. The second one was okay. Liked the Miami action.

Now that they lost Paul Walker, I'm not going to see it. Thats probally the only reason I watched the first one.

No, I don't think he's cute(If I did, I would be ***). I just like his acting.

i agree with arresting people that are racing in town on city streets with houses, parks, bussinesses, and busy streets. where we were at was outside of the city by about 20 miles with nothing around, no traffic, nothing. my point is that before the movie just a few people with common since (sp?) street raced outside of town, now kids get a honda and put a muffler and wing on it and try to race every fast looking car they see no matter where they are.

not necessarily, the person you are racing is in danger and the crowd is in danger. i have seen cars come apart and parts fly into the crowd and hurt and kill people
 
I would rather watch Police Academy #8, or have my nuts shaved by a Aussie sheep shearer named Bruce than watch another of those POS movies.

Or better yet. I would rather do the tazer trick on myself. :OMG:

Ok, you have a point, however, anyone that attends any organized racing event knows there is a risk, and they choose to take that risk. But, at a real track they have many safety features and rules in place to prevent any spectator from being injured, that are not on ANY city street. When my son is playing in my front yard he or I should not have to worry some punk kid with a blinged out grocery getter will run over him because he saw a civic with a giant wing on it, and thought he was a bad ass.

i agree that is why i do not like or encourage street racing in any type of populated area with any traffic at all.
