At the beginning of the first race when it starts the camera goes down Dom's arm, though the gearbox, into the head showing 4 cylinder's firing, round the turbo and out the exhaust.
Does anyone else think that's a bit weird seeing as Dom's driving a RX-7?
I know, I know, It's just a film, la la la. ;D

Glad i am not alone!
I can't help but point these things out! My girlfriend hates it, calls me a geek! I explain someone this into cars especially Golfs is no where near a geek but so overflowing with manlyness that i go off the scale!!!
I cause embaresment for her and our friends at the cinema! I am only allowd to attend car movies with my cynical GTI buddies!
he he he...
Always amuses me how they drop one gear and find an extra 500bhp. And how Nitrox lasts 10 minutes and has no detrimental affect on the smoothly ticking over engine at the end of the race!!! God bless Hollywood!

yeah whole film total bollox!!!!!!!!! all for dolby and thats it!!! film ok if watched on slow mo!!!!, otherwise cheesey stunt film!! havent seen yet dizzie!!!! wouldnt mind for a laugh laptop got dvd and that!!! pass it on!! lol!!!
-
Maybe they should make a film about Golfs... No, on second thoughts, it could be disasterous! ???
-
nah got maxed golfs ould whoop ass in there class!!!!! ;D :D
-
just replayed it in slo-mo on the dvd (off work sick today, so a bit bored :-\ ) .. definitely a rotary engine, no pistons in sight, maybe they realised the ballsup and changed it for the dvd release ?
-
it is innt. my bad. I thought there was 4 sparks and assumed there were 4 cylinders :-[

I beat the 200 lbs of neons and other crap they have stuck to those "race machines" really make them go faster as well. I love the draw bridge scene in the second though. Pretty much any jap car (most others as well) would have snapped the frame with a flat landing from that height and speed. Pretty much the dukes of hazard of the 21st century. :)

Dual nitrous kits for when you REALLY want to cock up that incrediably over priced Japanese engine. :) Have to laught though. I was in motorspares a couple of days ago and there is now a line of fast and furious merchandise. LED tire stem caps, stick on neon lights, neon wiper jets etc. I need to start my own business. :) While on the topic of crap movies. anyone seen Biker boys with Samual L Jackson? It pained me to see him in that rubbish. Pretty much a 2f2f on motorbikes. :)

The cars in TF&TF can carry it off in the over-hyped and overweight American cruise scene, with all the sun and all the glitz. But on the Back streets of Birmingham, they look like the total tits they really are!! And to cap it all, they often try modding up the poorer cousins anyway - Sure, an RX7 with 100 grand of tuning is going to do the business, but to carry it off on a 300 quid nova, with a MacDonalds wage packet is just going to make you look pretty dumb.
I suppose we all need a good laugh from day to day though!
-
gotta admit that the storyline of the film is rubbish
-
another thing... only the 4 cars that race have neons underneath. none of the other extra cars do ???
-
because their moms drew the line at superglueing whaletails to the back of the family hatchback.
-
............listen to the gear shifts, theyve all got about 15gears.
-
ohhh that film is sooo wakk. the second one is worse! Gone in 60seconds is much better.

Couldn't film would be too short. "GTI against 5 rice rockets. off the line 2 rice rockets blow their engines with nitrous, 3rd ones tranny packed up due to a missed 2 to 3 shift, first turn 4th one loses traction and hits something. then the 5th one fell out due to an electrical fault because his neon washer jets shorted out. VW owner got bored and went to a pub to catch a pint" Total running time 15 minutes including credits ;D
-
good idea!! a pint that is ;D

I noticed that myself. :) also noticed it was a Honda XR75 which is a four cycle engine and low and behold here it was making 2 cycle engine sounds. ran right along for a 75cc bike also. lol.
