What cars are you talking about then? The invisible cars we can't see? Most of the cars post 1st TFATF are really nice.

**SuperFlea** · 02-03-2008, 09:48 PM

lmfao!

you guys are so defensive

. I was talking about the cars for the casting.

I know you guys loved the movies, but dang!

j/k

I hope we don't get any Foci in that movie, I would hate to see more morons driving riced out Foci with a huge muffler, and ridicilous body kits everywhere. we all remember what the first movie did to the eclipse and supras. Not only that but I remember reading an article on super street where owner of the red RX7 was saying how movie starts can't drive for ***** and how his clutch had to be replaced 3 times, of course the studio payed for it but still can you imagine Vin Diesel's giant arms power shifting on your little focus... oh no sir, not me, not now, not ever.

**Osiris** · 02-04-2008, 04:58 AM

It wasn't the impossible stunts or even the hip hop-infused, neon light powered music video feel of the three movies that did it in for me as much as it was the bad acting and boring plot lines. Of course, the unlimited fundage to bolt every uber-expensive car part available to the hero car in the climactic ending to each movie also played a part in the serious suck factor for me.

They should follow suit with the new Batman series and make this next movie much darker and perhaps a little more realistic.

Tanner Faust (world drift champ)was doing many stunt in FF3- I was blown away at his full story powerslide up the parking lot in the first "Drift sequence" BTW that was not in Tokyo, it was here in LA at Universal studios parking lot. Great car control

They probably wouldn't put a Focus in the movie because for the most part their crap compared to the rest of the other cars, lol. Skylines, 350z's, RX7's...Focus?

Also, Stars DON'T drive the cars in the movies. Not ever. It's such a huge insurance liability to act and drive at the same time, that they never drive, ever. Sorry.

That was an awesome seen.

So good so, I actually thought it was fake. The third movie had alot of good car action.

**tallguy2.3** · 02-04-2008, 10:46 AM

I like the first F&F movie and Tokyo Drift was amusing. I will see this one for sure tho. How many movies jut about cars are there? (And 'Cars' doesnt count! lol)

Oh I could only hope they would drive those cars there. They would drop like flies. I would actually take leave for that just to see how many they crash in one day.

It doesn't matter. My mom could go take drifting lessons if she wanted to. I promise you they did none of that in the movie, and especially while they where pictured in the cars in the movie. It's an age old fact that rarely do actors do stunts, and they never do stunts while being filmed in-car. Nicolas Cage did a few donuts in Gone in 60 Seconds, but thats about it.

Not many probably. Most of those people are stunt and race drivers, probably as good as anyone on here, if not better than the majority of us.

**jinstall** · 02-04-2008, 01:55 PM

LOL you would be amazed at who drives the Ring and makes mistakes, costly mistakes. Even the Ring Taxi's make mistakes.

yeah so why would it be so funny. so what if they filmed and a pro driver made a mistake. i dont get the humor in that i guess.

oh and if those were pro drivers in those clips you posted. they werent acting very professional thats why that happened.

Yeah I hear you, but you said they NEVER drive the cars EVER. And in fact, they did.

I beleive one of the drivers was Scott Speed and both of them were F1 drivers. Professional drivers are not perfect. I find it funny when drivers think they are beyond the rules and soon find out that they are not. Lots of bruised egos on the Ring. Sometime those egos cost others their lives, that is not funny. I would rather see a good recovery than a good crash.

**MattZTS** · 02-04-2008, 03:35 PM

well i dont really follow racing so i dont know anyone. anyhow they way the driver was acting was really stupid and thats why he crashed or got crashed into in this case.

You have it backwards...without the tuning industry that movie would have never been made.
