Fast & Furious

so your calling me a retard cause im a car nut. if you havent noticed the movie is derected to people who love cars, and like going fast. obv you dont have any care for the time and effort that goes into each of those cars. The way i look at it, is if you dont know what your talking about dont coment cause you sir just made yourself look like an idiot. hell your prob one of those guys who only knows how to put gas in em

 
i disagree. F&F cars are built to appeal to the 13 year old with an affinity for riced-out imports or negro-muscle. most real-world car builders have plenty of unassuming cars that would literally rape an F&F car, without having a 5-foot spoiler or an aftermarket bodykit. just look and The Fast And The Furious. those cars weren't even fast, just made to look flamboyant and then "raced" with camera and special effects to make them look as if they were moving like a real street racer.

may as well watch fucking Speed Racer.
 
when i whent to see it there was more american musle and big trucks in the parking lot then ricers and in the movie there were more old people 23 to 40 watchen the movie then young teens and i was at the 720 show so not late one but meh yea it is derrected to them to...
 
I'm sure you made some awesome points in there, but I only read "so your calling me a retard"....
so yes, yes I am. Now, go play with your matchbox cars you manly man you.
 
Congratulations, you're an Advance White Person. I'm sure your Toyota Prius with an apple dye-cut and a "Obama '08" campaign bumper sticker on the back is running beautifully.
Not all movies can be incredibly thought provoking, wonderfully written/directed masterpieces. In fact, not all movies should be because very few people want to watch this sort of movie all the time. Some people rather enjoy the combination of fast cars, beautiful women and suspiciously frequent explosions. Some people find watching a naked girl throwing a flaming motorcycle off the back of a truck that is also on fire incredibly exciting/aesthetically pleasing and will pay money to see this sort of thing, provided that the naked girl is actually Megan Fox.
 
Spare me fuckface. What point are you trying to get across by poking fun at an energy efficient car that isn't taking a fucking dump on our environment and the real person the United States needs to stop acting like stupid fucking rednecks.

 
look man the whole cars, chicks and explosions is like hyphy

the first few times its cool and you enjoy it but when the entire movie is only that and there is no real plot then what the fuck is the point? Its just a car/girl/explosion porno with some shitty dialogue
 
i dont think too many rednecks rice man

but saw this movie earlier today and i thought it was pretty sick. one of the better of the series. kinda crazy how its after 2 fast 2 furious and before tokyo drift. plot was ok. lots of action. original characters were dope to have back. i liked it and all but thinking back walking out of the theatre i was just realizing there is only one real race in the whole thing.
 
It was by no means a good movie. Worth the ten bucks? Maybe. The cars were definitely sick. The STI, don't get me started.
 
werd, in the begining. but i think thats ok, cause it foucs more on teh plot, not that there is much of one, but they tryed
 
this makes me really want to get a 240sx with either a sr, rb, or ca swap in it

(not that there were any in it, besides the newer 240, which isnt what i'm looking for)
 
I love how I'm elitist, an Obama dick rider, and pro-environment because I think the fourth entry in a TERRIBLE movie franchise isn't worth seeing.
I'm all for escapist entertainment. I'm not some pretentious movie snob who name drops directors. I'm a guy with a brain who thinks it's a shame that movies like fast & furious are green-lit unquestioningly in place of anything even approaching original. I like tits, I love explosions, a good car chase now and then is cool, and obviously not every film has to be groundbreaking or even overly cerebral. That being said, I can get those kicks elsewhere- meaning any where but some trite piece of shit with overt ad placement that solely exists to pander to the ADD pre-teen crowd. I'm entitled to my opinion, I'm entitled to voice it, and I'm even entitled to judge you stupid little fucks who will watch anything that is advertised enough.
If you're going to drool over this vacuous piece of shit, be prepared to be looked at as an idiot. If your vagina is all puckered because I'm calling it like I see it, oh well. Maybe you should just teach me a lesson and give me maaaadddd -------kkk!
I'll stop posting in here, because no one likes a troll, but you can officially blow me.
 
I just saw this movie, and it sucks. It's not even a good action movie, which I can appreciate. I was completely bored anytime they weren't driving, and was getting pissed off at all the fake car stuff and driving. It's not made for "car nuts" It's made for 13 year olds who don't know shit about cars.

fyi:

1.nitrous oxide is an inert gas. Meaning it won't explode. ever.

2.a honda won't keep up with a chevelle that does wheelstands in a straight line.

Why are they supposed to be racing, and then all the sudden one of them drops a gear and speeds up to avoid a crash or something?

 
hah i've been wondering the same thing for years now..

also, they seem to have an endless number of gears too
 
by honda do youmean skyline? if its from the first scene where they race to get the job, i cant remember what the ither 2 cars are so if one of them is a hondur my bizzle.
also the gear thing has boggled my mind for years haha.
 
No the orange one that asian dude is driving where they are side by side for a while while the skyline was catching up. im not positive it was a honda but I know it sure as hell shouldn't be keeping up with that chevelle.
 
the gear thing boggles everyones mind.

and paul walker is driving a skyline (which in japan isnt a super duper sports car and its only a family sedan type car). from at least the trailers (havent seen it) the other two cars look almost like MAYBE a lancer (the one that get nailed by the truck and paul walker drives under) and a civic or something like that.
 
iight i was gonna say, the skyline aint no honda haha but idk, theres a few 10sec hondas out tehre that theoritically could keep up if they handled decently, cause lets face it muscle cars dont handle all that great...
 
well besides vin's chevelle there's a r34 skyline, a s14 silvia.. and i forgot the other one

but yeah, pretty sure there are no hondas in that race
 
im talking about the orange car... I realize paul walker's character was in a skyline. And they're going dead straight down the road.
 
oh, is it the scene i was talking about? then no it probs shouldnt be keeping up haha, but its the movies, if a car gets dusted off the line its not making a good movie haha
 
i mean, if the silvia has the rb26 engine in it, it should have little problem keeping up with the r34.. considering it has the same engine..
 
i love it

they left a few things out

like how the fuck did hauhn get back in the movie after he died in his rx-7

and other things

but all round great movie very recomended
 
i have noooo idea bout nissans haha, i know r32/4 ect, but not specifics haha. ill trust ya on that one.
if its an m3 or a TT swapped from a newer bimmer it probs woudnt have to much trouble keeping up
 
oh and because that movie came out

they had bunch of imports and tuners and really fast cars in the halls

cause i went to west edmonton mall

there were bmw's 1 lambo

a couple civics and skylines it was so sweet
 
i remember getting to see and sit in the supra, challenger, vin diesel's first car, and the eclipse at Universal Studios hollywood when i went like 6 months after the first one came out... so awesome.
 
FYI.

1. your right that nitrous oxide is an enert gas but when used the right way and the right settings you can get 50 to 500 hp with the right jetting. i hope this clears your mind up on this.

2. i have seen many imports that can blow buy any american muscle and that are street legal to the thing with then you barely have to spend any money to get then to go quick hell you can use the stock block moast of the time.ok

3.ok so down shifting does help you accelerate. Imagine that you want to quickly speed up but you are already in a high gear. If you downshift a gear, it will be easier to speed up when you step on the gas. Just like when riding a bicycle...it is easier to start off in a lower gear, then upshift to a higher gear so that you aren't peddling super fast and going nowhere. And once you are cruising if you want to speed up, you can shift down a bit and it is easier on your legs to speed up.

Acceleration has to do with the torque of the motor matching the proper gear. Ever try to start off in third or fourth gear? Almost impossible because the torque is not matching . But once the car gets moving, it is easy to get into third or fourth and still accelerate.

Have you ever driven an automatic and while going 30 or 40 or maybe even 70 then floor the gas? You'll notice that the transmission automatically downshifts...it's the same thing that you want to do when driving a stickshift.
 
and in case your wondering i am a huge muscle car fan, helped restore a couple with my dad and helped my bud build his drag car. id rather them beat anything but when you have a four banger beat a v8 u gotta give credit where its due.
 
youre missing the point dude.
1. its inert, aka it CANT explode, yet vindisel manages to make that shit blowwwww the fuck up after tehy run thru teh mtns.
2.we all know any car can beat any car given enough time and money.
3. i think everyon understands te down shifting theories dude. but teh thing is, they are at like 7k rpms, downshift, adn theyare are at 5k, and they only downshift in the movies, no upshifts are realy shown.
 
I drive a manual. I completely understand how it downshifting works.

But if they're racing don't you think they should already be in the gear that gives them the most acceleration?
