1. if you are loosing the race, SHIFT.
2. if you are stuck between two simi trucks, jerk your steering wheel back and fourth to try to bump them off the road.
3. watch out for cops with EMP claw guns.
4. NEVER, NEVER drive with out your street glow on.
5. hitting Two NOS buttons at once makes your boost jump up 10 PSI.
6. when racing near a draw bridge, make sure ludacris dose not have a remote controle for it.
7. if you are tyrese, you dont need to wear a helmet in demolition derby.


thats about all, this movie was so bad i turned it off half way through.

my brother in law gave me the DVD for free.

the 1st one was so much better its not even funny.

that eclipse droptop is the gayest ride ive ever seen

:rolleyes:

two thumbs down.
 
hmmm you hit the spot!

if you look into the bonus features
it said they couldve had ANY cars they wanted for the main 2

hmmm a lancer and an eclipse... real good pick

yeah and they are redlined in 4th and they shift down to 3 and pick up some speed! wow i should try to... shift do to 2nd after 3rd and pick up some ground

and 1 thing that bothers me is the old chrysler barracuda i think it was
i might be mistaken but i thought they said it was a hemi and putting out like 450 horse at the motor....
wouldnt maybe 550 sound right... oh well that movie has many little flaws but i find quite amusing to watch

1/2 thumb up!
 
I agree 100% with KillerV6. That was the worst movie I have ever seen. There was no plot to the movie, Mitsubishi must have paid a heck off a lot of money to get that GAY Eclipse as star of the movie.....what a gay car.

When is Hollywood going to stop with the same old story line of drug smuggler gang smuggles drugs.... tries to leave country....lone cop save the day by catching the drug smugglers.

Wow exciting:rolleyes: I wanted to leave the theater so bad during that movie but I rode with a friend and he was into the movie:rolleyes:
 
I don't know how anybody that's into cars can watch either of these two pieces of crap.

I rented the first one a while back out of curiousity and I couldn't even get through the first 30 minutes. It was awful. I can't imagine the second one was any better.

I mean, their car-related dialogue is just ridiculous. Nobody talks like that.

What do you mean, they talk just like me an my friends. Whenever we are at the track I always say something like

"You better close that bleeder valve and limit the boost.....I have seen the way you drive, you have a heavy foot, you will blow yourself up" :eek:

Seriously though, they both were pretty lame as far as being realistic but I am just so glad to see some actual car scenes with racing and what not no matter how lame the cars or dialogue is. After watching all of the cars in Gone in 60 seconds just basically get revved up but not driven anywhere anything would have been an improvement.
 
this movie wasn't put out to appeal to just the pure car crowd, if it was they wouldn't have made any money. Take it for what it was and not all the flaws. Atleast they got domestics a lil more involved in this movie. The big part they keep leaving out thou is f-bodys, mustangs and g-bodies. Where ever there are ricers you are sure as hell gonna find some domestics that wanna run them.
 
Ok, I'll take it for what it is.

BUT PLEASE TELL ME - WHAT IS IT THEN? WHAT DOES IT PURPORT TO BE?
A MOVIE THAT ONLY THE RETARDED COULD ENJOY?

And now that I'm taking it for what it is, I still say it was one of the worst movies ever put on film. Dialogue, cheesy cars and sub-par story line aside - the acting was horrific.

I realize that it wasn't put out there to appeal to hard-core car guys - I would never make that mistake. But it's such an awful movie that I honestly feel like you have to be brain damaged to actually watch and be genuinely entertained by it.

Here's an example for you:

All of the "Die Hard" movies are made purely for enjoyment - they're exercises in escapism.

But they're still solid movies in terms of acting, special effects, etc. Even their story lines, as unusual and fantastic as they are, are at least well developed. You know that going into the game with those movies but, somehow, they're not bad to the point where you're trying to justify their crappiness by saying "yes, but take it for what it is".

Movies with the above intent CAN be made well. Christ, even Cannonball Run was at least genuinely funny in places.

Flame the hell out of me - I don't care.

P.S. Cutty - not directing any anger towards you or your post - I was just too lazy to insert smilies anywhere.

well i like the movie, its just more ammo in the arsenal against ricers. Come On now, who really drives around a bright pink car with $1000 worth of air brushing then doesn;t care about ripping the front end off??? The best part of the movies is knowing they can't beat the muscle cars and of course the reference to the dukes of hazzard.

A more realistic movie would be great, less glam and more grit. Also how about regular joes instead of pretty boys.....oh wait thats called reality! Its the only thing out there so theres really not much to compare it too.

Very well put :D
I agree with you 100%
The big bad ricers :rolleyes:
How come every one I see at the track that looks like them cars in the movie runs between 16 and 20 second 1/4 miles?

Heh.... Cannonball run was based on a true story of the actual Cannonball Run, a good part of it was true, just edited together to make a coherent movie, Heck some of it couldnt even be used in the movies!
 
Burt Reynolds rules!:D

I vote that we all get together, and put Raven's stories on film:cool:
 
I'm sorry, but I must disagree.

Both movies are PURE CRAP!
however....

#2 is better than #1 because #2 had:

No Vin Deisel.
A few more muscle cars.

;)
 
i liked the first one. it was actually sort of well done.

besides, its fun mocking the movie with friends.

for example:
im always telling my buddys to make sure the passenger side floorboard is tight so it dosent fall off when you hit the NOS, blowing the welds off the intake manafold

Ah yes, big fan of Brock Yates.

In fact, Brock was the reason for the hot rodded ambulance - he drove that with some of his cohorts in an actual Cannonball race ;)

yes Brock Yates is the man!

As for F&F

yeah it is quite fun to make jokes about the movie... Anytime my friends ask me whats wrong with my car I tell them I "Blew the welds on the Intake"
 
I saw this movie for the first time on DVD. Just came out here in the video stores a few days ago. (Yes, we're a little behind).

What I did like about the movie:

-- A few real muscle cars. Played it on the surround sound in the scene where the Ricer and the Charger/Camaro (can't remember) were going to race. As the camera pans to the muscle car, the rumble in the room was a nice reminder of American iron.

-- Not so many graphical flash scenes, glorifying internal works of a car as they were racing. Still had the jump to hyperspace thing everytime the 'double NOS' button was pressed, but that's about it.

-- No Vin Diesel

What I didn't about the movie:

-- Weak and extremely predictable storyline. I like a story with genuine surprises. Something that I can't just pick apart and predict ten mins in.

-- Gloryfying of the NOS button. Yes, you push the button and the car goes faster.. no question. I'm sure they had to give the theatrical impression of increased power... but the NOS was just weak.

-- How the race lasted 5 minutes. Come on..all the street racing I've ever done, it's been done and over with in a matter of seconds. You don't go blasting block after block through city streets without even raising an eyebrow.

-- The meeting place with ALL the girls that were scantily clad. Not that I have a problem with that, and I'm sure Florida is capable of producing such a scene. But if that's true.. WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHERE IT IS!!!

If I think of more, I'll post again later. Gotta go to work.
 
You all forgot the Riced and the Furious Golden Rule:

RULE #1 Always wait until your competitor passes you before applying full throttle to catch up! :D :D

LOL. Yeah he does......

I love that scene when they drive the car through the building and into the pool...... then can't get the car started after fishing it out. :)

"Guess you shouldna tried hiden it.....hiden it......hiden it in the pool!" :D


Great movie. The two hillbillies in the GMC dually were a classic too..... :)
 
Oh my God - you guys need to lighten up. Let me guess, you sit around and critique & complain about porn films and their lack of story line, bad camera work & shallow dialog. Did you really expect these movies to be great? If not, you got exactly what you expected.
THEY'RE MOVIES! Brainless entertainment. I haven't seen the second one but, the first one was no worse than the rest of the garbage out there. It was good for some giggles too (NNNNaawwwwSSS! BOOOOOOMMMMmmmm!) heh heh heh....
Personally, I enjoyed the first one...was it accurate? was it "good"? NO - but most movies aren't.
If movies were made "true" or "real", how frickin' boring would that be...I believe they refer to those as "chick flicks".

Quit pickin' on Vin...he's living proof that you don't have to be a pretty boy to make it in Hollywood...mark one up for the ugly guy.

Die Hard was used as a "good" example?!?! Those were some boring, worthless movies...I fell asleep through the second one (in the theater) and never even bothered with the third. I mean really, how many times can you watch a frantic bitter guy beat unbelievable odds (what, 1 guy against 100 bad guys) and blow stuff up and WOW!, suprise, he wins. Never seen it coming, what an amazing plot twist...The only thing worse are sports movies...some are really good but you always know the ending.

I'll tell you a secret - There are no new plot lines - they have all been covered by now, all that's left is rehashing the old ones.

I see a TON of movies...most are bad, every once in awhile there are some shining stars but, all in all, I'm usually entertained (usually...) at least for a few hours.
 
On the 1st DVD it tells the whole story (whether true or not)
I think its under extras it wasnt supposed to be an Eclipse
originally it was a Starion
