The Fast and The Furious * SPOILER * Don't Read If You Haven't Seen It Yet

I saw it last night in downtown Chicago. $8.75 a ticket. There wasn't a bit about it that I liked. I wouldn't have paid to see it in a dollar theater. The premise behind the plot was unbelievable. This is where the spoiler begins. Please feel free to discuss the plot within this thread.

I'm sorry, but 3 ricers couldn't possibly hound a semi like they did. Do people really believe that if some people were shooting cables into the truck that the truck would just proceed at a constant rate without at all trying to run the little gnat-mobiles off the road? Do they really believe that a semi couldn't run the gnat-mobiles off the road?

The few races that they had were ridiculous. They did the races like they were riding horses. The nitrous was used like the jockey beating his horse toward the end for a little extra boost.

The first race had a $2000 entry fee, but our hero decides to put up the pink slip for his $80,000 car. I laughed out loud when I saw the computer stuff in his car. Sheesh. I wonder how much extra power he got with that scoop to nowhere just above his windshield.

I loved how the cops buzzed in like it was illegal to be a ricer. While that premise is agreeable to me, I thought it just made the movie seem even more unrealistic.

The leader of the Chinese gang supposedly had $100K under his hood. He should have a 6 second car for that kind of money.

I could go on and on, but I won't take the time. The movie was a great disappointment and I didn't even have high expectations for it.

The preview on HBO I saw was misleading. They did have speedos and rear view mirrors.
