About Tha New Fast & Furious
Give it a break boys and girls...it will make more money than anyone of us will ever make or hope to make no matter if you like it or not.
I went to the movie-plex this morning and saw Nemo and it was a very well done movie and was cute as can be.
If you didnt like that one also then think of this for starters.... 11:55 AM, full house in the theater, about 500 seats divided by two X's $10.00 for every two people, thats $2500.00 per show x's 5 shows per day = $12500.00 for one day only x's that by about 500 theaters (?) or more = $625,000.00 and dont forget the popcorn at $2.50 per small bag..geeze I give up....too many 00000000's for me to think anymore about.. but you do get my drift I would think.
It doesnt really matter what you and I think ...cause all will go to see the Move F&F even if we say we wont...
I did, and I even went and saw 8 mile and ...we'll you know..lots of people said that it would be a trash movie...
Later my automotive enthusiast...

the thing that really gets me about 2 fast 2 sprurious is the accessory line. most movies make due with action figures, t-shirts, DVDs and such -- pretty harmless stuff. what does 2F2F endorse? NOS?!?! c'mon kids, let blow up our civics!

the fast and the furious didn't endorse NOs. they endorsed neon lights for the underside or your car.
don't believe me? go to your nearest Advance Auto and look in the middle aisle.
You'll see a ton of ricer merchandise officially licensd through the fast and the furious, including fake leather shift ***** with red stitching. OOOOOHHHH, AAAAAHHH.
:: i think im going to be sick now::
lol.

seriously, there are fast and furious badged NOS systems for sale these days, just look in the pages of any import car mag. they're black and green bottles, and they're usually accompanying the hideous green car that blew up in the first movie.
and yeah, they're also marketing a ton of other crap. i just thought that selling NOS related to the movie was a poor choice.

I hate to say it, but I am looking forward to seeing it. Why? Because of the Skyline and the Evo. I know I'll take a lot of flak for it in here, but I like the Evo, and although it's junked up, it's not as bad as the NSX or the Eclipse.
Even though I do want to see it, the amount of revenue it's going to generate is about the worst reason I can think of to go see it. "See, lots of other people will see it, so you should too! I mean, all the POPULAR people are doing it....."

This movie's main focus is not geared to street racing. Street racing is a element in the movie. Everyone is bashing the movie, why because it's too flashy, neon this, blue flames that, it's entertaining... that's it. Those of us that know anything about street racing represent a very very small percent. If the movie makers geared the story for us then the "majority" will not understand it and probably have the same negative outlook.The movie company is out to make money, not gain the respect of the street racing community or car enthusiast .Take it for what it's worth. It's entertainment.......that's it.....

Funny stuff. Agree with the majority of people here, I don't think it looks that good.. first one was alright just because I thought "that's cool, no one made a movie like this before..." kind of like the first matrix"

man i am glad i am not alone. this movie will give hicks that dont know anything about cars a reason to act cool. you know what. i have notice that every moron has that spoiler that is made of metal. its so useless on hondas and ugly but i guess since its 99 bucks at walmart every moron will get it. man this movie has Tyrese. he is my arch enemy. after watching him trying to take over a mtv new years party but jumping on a table and yelling , i have mad an oath to hunt him down and cut his throat. you guys feel me.
man i never understood how the skyline in the first one was not the badest car. This movie is goign to suck big ones and the wanabe ricers are goign to eat it up.

i dont know about you guys, but this movie made my car modding experiance shatty. i cant do anything without worrying, will it be ricey? i have a 2.2, the best block for a built motor in the long run, but i feel riced out with wheels on my car, i just dont want to drive down the road and have people say, hey look at that rice. i am so paranoid. i dont want to be thrown in as a ricer just cause i drive an import. i just keep saying, wait till the turbo comes in then ill have the power to back up whatever shat is on my car, but until then, i just have to lay low.

comon, the dragons blowing fire help me go fastar, the fire goes out the back, creating hotter, less dense air and moving my car forward into the more dense air that is better for my motor(this logic works if you have a 3 foot wing, and an apc sticker on your windshield)
