This movie was rated as one of the worst three movies of the summer. I would have to say that I disagree. It was a great movie. Lots of action and nice cars. I've seen it three times and am awaiting its arrival on DVD.

Lets see here....it has no plot.....no acting....what makes it good? The cars were the only good part about the movie. Take away that and you have nothing.

yeah the plot was pretty weak... but i'd have to admit that the movie is entertaining.... i saw it twice. Isn't nearly as good as Gone in 60 Seconds though ;)

True, its no where as good as Gone In 60 Seconds, but I still wouldnt go to the extreme of saying it was one of the worst three movies of the summer.

You forgot far fetched too, you tell me how some litte rice car would beat a blown charger? More of a comedy then anything(with some hot chicks).

Yes, Glitter was released this week I think. That is DEFINITELY the worst movie of the Summer. Makes F&F look Shakespearean!

The f&f had no acting or anything, but I'm all into the import thing. so I was happy. I'll buy the DVD when it comes out.

There are "ricer" cars making it into the high 8's now.

You should read up on this kinda stuff.

To clarify I did like the movie - saw it twice and will get the DVD once it comes out - and it definetly wasn't one of the worst movies of the summer (someone posted a list of movies from this summer that people only heard of the first week and then forgot) - just that it was all about cars. (I really wish they would have had American cars in there too besides the Charger and to a very brief extent, the Lightning)

They're not street legal. And none of the imports featured in F&TF do over 12 1/4 mile IRL. (The "9" second Supra does 12s) That Charger would have spanked it up and down the track. And quite frankly I'd rather have a fast American car that has a full interior, radio, A/C, and seats rather than a stripped down tin can that would crumple like me stepping on a Coke can if it werent for the roll cage.

I never said they can't be fast, but there are musclecars that can get below that easier and cheaper. But then again that one had all the speed enhancing stickers, and guages on it too so ET went way down.

the fastest front wheel drive car is a civic. does the 1/4 mile in just under 9. granted, its probly been stripped, rebuilt, stripped again and rebuilt again. but its still a civic.
