*zips on flame suit*
No But seriously,

1. since when does fire constantly fly out of your exhaust pipes while racing

2. Since when is this magic flame autoimaticaly the color of your car

3. i have been to quite a few street races but damn ive never seen a PINK S2000

4. Isnt it true that while yes, fast imports are out there(im not talking about your 95 chvic with intake and exhaust), there is a MUCH MUCH MUCH higher concentration of fast Domestics

5. Just the whole consept is really stupid to me, 4 little black hondas jacking trucks full of vcr's lol

it's not you, the movie is stupid...never have I heard such corny dialog in a fucking movie. the only reason i saw the movie was because of the kick ass cars they have...and even then they didn't even put domestics...and they made the eclipse and supra seem as god cars...it's very funny when you see that most of the cars in toretto's group are nissan's...maxima, 240sx and last but not least the R33 or 34 Skyline...

the first movie was a big hype because it was the first of its kind to hit the big screen. IMPORT CARS AND RACING! WOW KIDS! everyone and their mothers went to see that. The movie had a good concept, but the dialogue and plot were a little dumb. I also thought the main character (forget his name) did a horrible acting job. If you hear him talk, it seems like he memorized it and spit it back out.

any enthusiast will go see the 2nd one not for the movie, but for the love of the cars.

yup....not about the movie but the cars....they took an ever growing import scene craze and mad money on it....as far as domectics go....they wern't really featured in the movie b/c that wasn't their focus...besides people have been making them fast for years....that's nothing new

1&2> There are actually flame thrower kits that you can buy to shoot flames out the exhaust ( www.autoloc.com ), not to mention just adding some movie magic to make the movie more interesting (eye candy). 3> Maybe girls will be inspired by the S2000 in the movie and we will see a new trend of hot pink cars . 4>You should be happy, there is a Z06 in the movie. 5> You got to make $ some way. IN CLOSING> dont take the movie to serious, because its only a movie. This movie was made to sell evolutions, lol

can someone please tell me why you can see massive burts of air firing out the side of the r34 which seems like they are implying its coming from 2 BOV's.... if so they must be running at least 500psi...

Fast and Furious and Fast and Furious2 are both stupid movies. No plots, bad acting and unrealistic car chases/races. It's unfortunate that teenagers try to mimic that crap! We have had several deaths here in GA due to that movie. The few survivors of those wrecks told police that they were racing like the movie.
They need to promote the fact that those cars are driven by highly trained professionals!!!!!!!!

if those kids said that then they aren't worth driving a car and really don't race it. In belgium you can drive when your 18 not 16. Less stupid young drivers
