8.50 here in the land of Nasdaq. I was diasppointed in Gina Gershon- she has had better performances, IMO. The plot was ridiculous- and not just the racing inaccuracies. I mean that German racer- how stereotypic. And Burt Reynolds- his character was even more one dimensional than Stallone's.
Enjoyed some of the driving scenes though. Several have referred to Gran Prix- anyone want to post a synopsis? Is it worth seeing?

Patrick, Thanks for the Estella link. Ouch! I'd better go for a fast drive!
Has she been in any other movies?

Someone had posted earlier that there was supposed to be an s2000, but there wasn't.
Patrick, not to be dense, but what is CG?

The movie showed Toronto off to good effect. If the SAG writers go on stirke, you'll see even more movies and TV shows filmed in Toronto, Vancouver, and lots of Canadian and Mexican locales.


Anyone know if the "German" scenes were really shot at a German racetrack?
I saw credits for a Brazilian crew, Japanese crew, Fla crew, but don't remember seeing a mention for the FRG.

cg = computer graphics, i think. estella is hot. i thought there was only one pole position. don't cart cars have a start button like the s?

 

Champ cars don't have a start button, they don't even have a starter. They require an external starter or a push start.

Is anyone going to see the fast and furious when it comes out? I guess there is Black S2000 in the movie...

 

yeah, fast and furious is about street racing. dont know how good its supposed to be, havent seen a preview yet, but its gotta be better than driven.

 

personally i doubt it will be better than driven. there is a big hype about the fast and the furious i dont thing is going to be that great since i heard the plot sucks. pretty much is a car show we going to see.
