If you really care about your one and only car, you don't want it in a movie... it'll get messed up. I'm a former motion picture set lighting technician; I see what really goes on. ...but if you have several ricemobiles and/or something you don't care about then have at it.



Btw, I've never seen any of the F&F movies. I could tell that they have an Incredible Suck Factor, or, ISF, just from the previews that I couldn't get out of my seat fast enough not to see.

Now I know my good friend OmniFocus just loves the cheesy car movies... he delights in automotive cinematic imbecility whereas I just get the urge to shoot myself.

I don't know. I know he had his hand in all the cars for the first and second but not sure about the third.

Honestly, I can't wait to see the 4th. I hate to admit it, but I really liked all three. I would have to say the 1st was the worst. I really liked the second and third.

What's really sad is you can get more in trade for a Tokyo Drift DVD than you can Return of the King.....

What's this world coming to? lol

I agree man.



You just need to take the F&F movies with a grain of salt. They are what they are. The only thing I really hated in all of them, was the dudes accent in the third. It was just so bad. I wish he would have talked normal.
