I'm not much of a Hollywood fan but I am a sucker for a good action flick.
However let this be a warning to Vin and his co-horts, if I see another FATF flick with a 10 second 1/4 mile sequence that takes 3 minutes I will kill a puppy!
@wimbles: Heart click for both of you. I have all flicks that wimbles mentions in my top 10 car flick list, but I'd also like to add Mad Max.
Mad Max is not only my No 1 for car movies but my No 1 fav movie of all time. When I was a kid, my mother had a Falcon Hardtop like the black interceptor and my mates and I use to play in the car and pretend we were in the movie.
I don't know why but this intrigues me. I guess I'm thinking about the Shell Ferrari F1 commercial that was partly shot in Rio. The cinematography *could* be gorgeous. They ought to borrow some of Top Gear's camera crews.
I can say with full property that this would suck! As most of you know, we have no automakers, and for a long time there was an import embargo by the dictatorship. The only cars you can find here are VWs and crappy Chevys. Although an Opala SS would be pretty nice:
Emerson Fittipaldi - nice guy Nelson Piquet - nice guy (bad boy apearance) Ayrton Senna - was a nice guy Rubens Barrichello - Sucker Massa - nice guy Helinho - nice guy Our racing drivers are more tame than furious.
@junkman: The first Transporter is a master piece. All of those stunts were at least imaginable, you'd only need the balls and technique. Now, removing a bomb from under the car flipping it through I can't even remember what? That's when things started to go wrong.
@junkman: Oh yeah, Transporter is dirty pleasure of mine. What other movie had a special made manual-tranny 7-speed? Anyone? And the south of France. Transporter 1 was just great, 2 sucked, 3 was better but could have been a lot better.
FnF, I've seen 1 and 4. If I had a dime for every time Vin shifted up to pass someone while street racing, I'd have a shitload of dimes.
(While were on this, anyone who has not seen Ronin is kicked out of the circle until viewing this masterwork.
@Syrax: That's what I thought, and the second one SUCKED< but if you watch the special features they actually pulled off that spiralling jump. It wasn't CG'd! I was shocked.
Vin Diesel is kidnapped by a billionaire bent on deforestation to make room for his ethanol empire. Paul Walker wants desperately to rescue his friend, but struggles with his need for high-octane, clean-burning fuel. Also, some tits or something. Whatever we can do and still get a PG-13 rating.
@Ash78: No. Soya empire. Chinese autos that run on soya bean milked with added turboflowchargers. See, they must try to open up a new audience for their film, and what better to pimp their favourite drink?

I pop in The Gumball Rally, Gone in 60 Seconds (the 1974 one), The Cannonball Run or queue up one of the chase scenes from Ronin.

If it gets younger people into custom cars more, then I'm all for it.

I liked that movie. Ditch Shu Qi in favor of oh, say, Kelly Hu and it would have been bitchin'.
The third installment wasn't bad either; or, put another way, it was better than the second installment.

I just clicked your little heart. Aww.
