Fast & Furious
Anyone seen the Previews yet?
To me it looks like its gonna be awesome. Better be some stangs in the film!!! ------------------ 1990 GT 5k Original miles!! Ripper,Pullies,73 MM C&l Mass Air,8mm Wires,Piaa Headlights,MAC Cold Air (Fender) |
I seen the previews and its gonna be awesome. Unfortunatly I believe it will be a strictly rice movie. Although the scene in the previews when the charger pulls the front tires and lights up the rears is freakin badd. I hope to see it soon but it will take a while for it to come out in the backward town I am from.

Don't get your hopes up to see some Stangs man. Looks like more of a ricer movie...notice the only domestic they show in the previews flips and blows up? Wonder if that's a sign...

Yeah. The "heros" drive an orange Supra, an eclipse, and a Civic, and the bad guys are on motorcycles.
There may be some interesting scenes of cars flipping and exploding and what not, but I wouldn't expect anything too redeeming coming from this movie, and lots and lots of rice boyz in the parking lot outside. |
I say we start a fund that we use to make our own movie. One stipulation ABSOLUTELY NO RICE. I think we could do it, really if you think about it only takes a couple hundred million to make a movie. We could all converge in a centrally located city for what is supposed to be a "Car show and Sat. night cruise" (quotations for sarcasm). Film all the street races that take place and edit them into a movie. Of course it would help to a couple crashes so wh could use ricers for those scenes but not the stangs. We could even let some vette's and fireturds in it just for equality purposes. I say lets do it. We could call it "Faster and more Furious than Uncle Bens" Ha Ha Ha.

Isn't F&F supposed to be set in California? That would make sense, since I can't see anybody around where I live other than 16-year-olds driving mommy's civic wanting to see it.
pony_power_90: that's a great idea, dude! Even if it is just a spoof on F&F, it'd be cool to try. Who would be the bad guys, a bunch of F-body drivers? Hehehehe http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif Imports & explosions happening to them would be the topper. All you'd need is a digital camcorder and some editing software, some Godsmack for theme music, etc., and you'd have a feature film. Add some Flash animation using shots from riceboypage.com and we have a winner. Detroit (aka Motor City http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif ) would be the best place for filming this summer if you wanna keep it American and see some truly fast street racing. Dan's near there, and soon as the clutch is all worked out on Project Death Machine, he could be the hero of the film. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/cool.gif As far as "Faster and More Furious than Uncle Ben's," BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! ------------------ Capri306, Moderator, The Mustang Works Online 1979 Mercury Capri, 5.0L -- C4 -- 2.73 1987 Mustang LX Notch |

Yeah, that movie looks like it's going to have alot of rice in it, but did you see that late 60's Blown Cuda that pops wheelies? I'm going just to see that and i'll watch anything fast race (i'm sure they can use some of that newfangled computer technology to make the rice look fast...or close to it). I'm not gonna care much for the "plot" but as long as there's lots of racing and extreme car manuevers it should be worth the matinee price i'll pay. If only the makers of this movie had enough good taste to add mustangs and even camaros/firebirds.....oh well.

Yeah...it looks decent. The sad thing is that the Charger pulling the wheel stand isn't doing it for real. Look close during the previews and you can see a couple bars throwing the front end up. But oh well...a fast car is a fast car no matter who makes it. They're also selling that orange Supra that races the Charger for $90K online. 700hp too. Not too shabby for a FWD ricer.

When i first heard about this movie a couple months ago, i went to the website and saw that it looked like a pretty ricy movie.
They started running commercials for it last week, and it looks absolutely HORRIBLY RICY, disgustingly ricy. I'm still gonna see it, but its crazy nasty horrible rice. |

Now if they started showing FWD cars doing wheel stands, I'd probably worry. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif
That's the problem with going to see movies that you're familiar with the topic. I can't stand movies about computers since they do things that are really stupid and unbelievable to anyone who knows something about them. One good example is War Games. Do people really believe that you can hack a password one random character at a time? |

A good movie to make would be "Bullitt part 2" of course that wont happen, but with a modern bullitt on nos, in a car chase seen, outrunning a supra or some kind of import..lol, anyways i've chatted with a couple guys that actually saw sneak previews of F'F, and some liked it, and some said it looked dumb, like a couple fake scenes, and nothing but blow off valve, wastegate turbo sounds throughout the movie, but supposedly at the end, the main character drives off in a domestic car http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif.

I don't mind the import cars, and I'm always up for a good race or chase scene, however, I have to give this film a thumbs down.
Why? Because it tries to make these street racers look like they're part of the 'thug life'. Now every parent and local politician who doesn't know a damn thing about cars or hot rodding will assume that if you're under 30 and driving a cool modified car, you're up to something bad. They won't differentiate between imports and domestics, either.

I think it does look a bit, ok, a lot ricey. But it still should be a pretty sweet movie. Just look at it from a car enthusiasts point of view instead of a domestic or Mustang enthusiasts point of view, right? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

im sorry, that movie looks sickening! the preview alone made me sick, epcially when the guy said in his dumb jok voice "i live my life a quarter mile at a time,,,, and for that 10 seconds or less ,i feel alive" or something like that ,oh please mr beefcake!!! lol

Aw c'mon cptn.! I think you just may be bias because of the loosers across the street from you
http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif |
lol,maybe...no seriously, this movie looks retardid,,,no bias,some of my best friends are ricers http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif !

I also like how the previews for the Slow and Delerious have the imports making an almost v8 sounding exhaust, and how in one of the previews on tv, a rice boy pulls his foot off the gas and slams the clutch, then they cut to a picture of a car accerating from a stop. The only thing i can think is either its right hand drive (day job as a mail man, explains why it takes forever to get the mail), or someone screwed up editing that scene.

HAHA, i thought i was seeing things when i saw him hit what appeared to be the clutch pedal and then ACCELERATE! Of course that makes about as much sense as making a movie about ricers, but whatever. That right hand drive explanation makes sense, but everything about that movie is phony so what's new.

I don't know about anyone else here but I've never seen a car pull the front wheels while the back ones are spinning. I laugh every time I see the preveiws.

I'll probably see Fast and Furious, but I have a feeling that it will be terrible. The Mopar pulling the front wheels off the ground while smoking the tires is almost as realistic as the jump in Gone in Sixty Seconds (Nicholas Cage version). I almost hate to watch car movies because of how dumb and cheap they make them. I wish a bunch of street racers/car guys would make a film, but it would probably be tough to make a story line that would appeal to the masses.

The movie just looks dumb. If you do see the movie, and if you watch classic movies like Bullit, notice that the cars seem to have an endless number of gears. They're doing like 120+ and they keep shifting. You never hear a downshift, either. It's always a shift up. I think the director doesn't think an audience wants to hear the high pitched whine of high revs for too long so they throw in an upshift.

slowride90, when you pointed out that I had a feet instead of inches for the bore size, I went in and changed it. I was looking at my profile again today to proofread it and I noticed that I had Moroso spelled wrong. When I went back in to change it I noticed that all of the inch marks were foot marks, even the ones I had under exhaust. Even the one I changed last night. I suppose I would need 2 1/2 foot exhaust if I had 4 foot bores. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif I didn't pay attention, but it may be either when Dan builds the page to edit or when you save the changes, all double quotes are changed to single quotes. A lot of people may have 4 foot bores if they used double quotes to represent inches. I just checked. You have a 5 foot Autometer tach. How can you see out the window? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Even though it's a ricer movie, me and all my friends are going to watch it, and get all pumped up and race each other afterwards. I think it will be fun.

That's right....they'll think they are all bad till they try to flex on the group of domestics that all went to the flik together. be careful though, the cops will be swarming the parking lots.

I saw the "making of" promo show on HBO or one of those channels. They seem to think the chemical formula for nitrous oxide is NOS so they refer to nitrous as "noss". The drivers don't have speedos since they can feel how fast they're going. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif This probably explains why Honda Civic drivers think they can go 160. They don't have rear view mirrors since they never look back. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif

I love when you guys post about everyone else acting like there cars are so bad. sounds a bit hypocritical, when you start talking like that.
I do agree that this movie is gonna give the true "ricer" an ego, but for real enthusiasts, they will keep a level head that its just a movie.

I am sorry to inform you displacement boys but if you look really close when the Cuda pops the wheelie............it has a little help. They put a mechanical arm under it that springs out with 2 wheels on it to lift the car up. It look cool but in all reality............its a FAKE WHEELIE. Sorry

I agree...never will be fully realistic since it's a movie. I'll see it Sat night with a friend from work who cant stand ricers either, but it will be amusing, sort of like a comedy! Racing is always great to watch as well...

I understand all you people that say "its just a movie, it can't be perfect/realistic" but there are many movies that ARE really well done, and for all the hype around this one i'd think they could at least not spin the tires on that wheelie, or sh1t like that. Presently i think of "antitrust" myself and a number of my geeky friends (i'm a geek too) went to see that, and were thoroughly impressed with its accuracy, so i have expectations that hollywood isn't that bad. This is gonna be a rice bullsh1t movie, but as one of my friends said when i told him that: "are you gonna go see it?" 'yes' i responded "well then they made their money" |

Just finished seeing this movie.... my critique... definately a ricer movie... all the cars in it where rice(except the charger) and somehow all the rice seemed to run 10's and they all ran turbos with huge amounts of nos on top of it and blew their engines every other race. It was a street racing movie though so I have to say it was pretty good just because it was a movie about street racing. After the movie I swear I heard at least 50 pathetic burnouts by ricers and redneck trucks... my ex girlfriend drove(i've been drinking a little) so I didn't get into any races. Anyway go see it.
