Agree with all the other comments. Daft, poor script, wooden acting but great fun

Finally got round to seeing this last night. I thought it was great, did exactly what I wanted and expected.

Top brain-out, noisy, popcorn car movie goodness thumbup

We took Gretch's two youngest. When asked what he thought about the girls kissing, as he seemed to be smiling at it, he stated that it 'made his tummy go a bit tingly'. Good lad hehe

Ah yes... I'm in a race that my life depends on so I'm flat out, yet I have this amazing car that I can be redlining in 4th, I can then drop it down a cog to 3rd and it goes faster!

AWESOME!
Haha just been to see it and yes it still has those wonderful magic gearboxes! And cars with a front mounted engine having roof mounted air intakes...keep the roll cage cool?

I think toyko drift is much better than the latest one.

the effects in number 4 are soo cheesy. when they are driving through the caves its just pathetic.

at least tokyo had some proper drifiting

+ 1. I prefered the story-line in tokyo drift as well.

I saw it last night. Entertaining, but not enough about the cars and the street racing. I mean, Toretto and his better half had spent years building that supercharged monster which could have been the star of the show, but it was simply trashed during the 'tunnel run'. A bit of a wasted opportunity.

But overall enjoyable, and IMHO much better than the Tokyo Drift one...

That was the only one I could watch all the way through. Plot and acting was still terrible but the car bits were actually good. Up until the end 'chase down a mountain' part which had cgi so bad that it looked like I made it.

Off to see it tonight. Dont go spoiling it for me now by revealing the plot laugh
Ok.
The plot consists of Vin Diesel playing Vin Diesel on a push bike, and Paul walker doing something else, the plot is all about transporting skanky old paraplegic hookers which have been douched to much across the country between California and Texas, using only push bikes and mounted police on horse back chasing them. They eventually end up getting a name for themselves in the paraplegic hooker ring, as the para-troopers, and are employed by Half HuggyBear as he is missing one arm and can only half hug people, all in all a good plot, however I felt there could be leg dropping action.



It's an ok film, I prefered the third film, but its far superior to the first one, and a million times better than the atrocity that was 2 Fast 2 Furious
