Problems with f&f

[SiGNAL748]

In the 1st movie. When the Supra and the Charger race, the Charger burns out AND does a wheelie at the same time.

In reality, its one or the other. Never both.

I'm still enthralled at the directors "perception" of how long a mile is... Cause hell... That was the longest 1/4 mile I've ever seen.

Don't forget things like:

"Are you going NATO on me Brian?" (Should be AWOL)

"That was an $80,000 vehicle oficer" (No way even the police could blow that much on an Eclipse)

A truckload of DVD players being worth all the effort? No.

Etc...

BUT, still its a great entertainment flick that I never tire of watching.

It would be silly to have ten seconds of filmed racing. I don't think F&F was that bad at all. It doesn't make sense, but who cares. It's a movie, not a documentary.

ya what aceshigh said, but its sure fun to make fun of f&f and 2f2f.

All i can say is i was little younger and a little more foolish then i am now. I was driving my current car at the time, and i saw the movie opening night at the local theatre. I came out, got in the car and was leaving the parking lot and a couple other guys my age (at the time) were reving up their cars and going like hell all energized from the movie.

So i popped my car into neutral, floored the gas, let her rev to the sky and put it in drive.

KA-THUNK!

I'm now a little wiser and i know that neutral drops will destroy your car.

My point is that the movie had alot of crap and as a result filled alot of people's heads with alot of crap. I'm a perfect example!

My point was not that f&f sucked, it was that it is simply entertainment and should not be taken for a street-racing bible. If anyone is curious, I saw about 100 people reading my article in the school newspaper about it. Someone actually said to me, "Wow! I didn't know that huge chrome wheels made you go slower!"

At least one future ricer saved.

there were 3 turns, the 3rd onebrian says "too wide"

Yeah the race against the ferrari was a joke. It wouldn't even have been a contest for that supra. As for the double clutching that's something i tend to do all the time..............................in my mack truck. If you want to see a car with an endless amount of gears watch the transporter.

Heh I do double clutch. The main reason is if I am doing a heavy downshift I don't get that annoying jolt forward. That and it adds a little fun to a normally routine drive.

LMAO "in my mack truck" lol
