Why fast and the furious is so fake. if only they had common sense i wouldn't rag on them... as much.
double clutch up-shift.
danger to manifold and the floor falls off.
these turbo cars toping out at 115 mph and then need NOSSSSSSS!!! to do 155.
etc...
so to bash this oscar performance:
street value $1.4 million
5 tanker truck
the largest tanker trucks in the world hold 9000 gallons. so lets say those things each hold 9000... which they DON'T.
street value, lets say 93 octane @ $4
movie's calculations/ lala land:
9000 gallons x 5 tankers = 45,000 gallons
$1.4 million/ 45,000 gallons = 31.1 $/gallon !!!
so in order for all that fuel to be worth $1.4 mill, each gallon would be worth $31.
common sense a.k.a. reality calculations
9000 gallons x 5 tankers = 45,000 gallons
45,000 gallons x $4/ gallon = $180,000
where's the $1,400,000 street value??????????????????
maybe they're going to put all that fuel on JDM speed boats equipped w/ NOS, cross the Atlantic and sell it in the UK for $10/gallon and make $450,000. Still 2/3 short of $1.4. That would make this movies so much cooler, that I might actually watch it.
Thank you,

i just hope theres another s2000 in the movie with sick ninja star graphics.

They could have made this franchise interesting if they didn't try to make it so hardcore.

they are popcorn movies, guys and gals
I mean seriously if the directors came to you and said what would make these movies good in your eyes, what would you lay out for them?
A godfather worthy script? A-list actors? Cleaner less ricey cars??
Come on now people. you have to remember that 98% of the planet could care less about the realism of what a manifold coming apart would actualy do to a car or what 120 mph equates to in a quater mile. They just assume danger to manifold is bad, umm-kay and 120 is going a lot faster than they go everyday.
the movies are just fine for what they are. we lambast them because we actually know what double-clutching means and that overnight parts from japan is a pipedream. We car website forum bloggers represent the 2% of people that will pick apart these movies. the directors and movie companies dont care about us. They produce the movie they think will put the most butts in seats. they have done well enough to warrant another movie
I am personally glad its back to the original format as I thought it's storyline had the most potential.
Hate them if you want to but you know you have seen them all more than once. Put up the good fight verbally here in the forums so no one calls you out for being man-gay for Vin, but the little dark voice in the back of your head is saying...You will see it before it leaves the theater....
Dont sit there and deny it..... LOL
