F&F logic: as horsepower increases so does traction

Yeah I'm paranoid about this living alone, so try and keep my eye out when I go out if any new cars sitting in the street or dodgy random behaviours, got motorbike / trailer locked up etc.

How the f**k did we go from stealing DVD players from trucks to saving the world

[UNR33L]

Still more entertaining than a shit load of movies out there though  

[Birds]

They are the ultimate turn your brain off movies; the cult following arguably appeared because people took the piss out of the first movie, even if it's now ironically the most realistic one. Producers cashed in on the appeal to ridiculous action? Can't help but wonder if they'd have been as successful if the storylines and action were kept to a more realistic level and cop/racing plots, drugs/gangs etc. instead of the James Bond stuff. I doubt it. The cars feel very much an afterthought in the movies - literally would have been the last inclusion in the writing where they were just looking for places to include performance cars in a film no longer about them. Lambo in the snow? Movie could have worked without any of the cars.

[emts]

no different to avengers, super hero movies, pretty well all films could be under this banner.

 

you don't pay money to go see a documentary, you go to be entertained for 2 hours by things that go bang.

 

Not seen it yet but will prob go in next couple weeks just for shit and giggles.

(and play my patented F&F drinking game....take a drink every time some-one says family...gold class you are my friend)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

It's shit. No more, no less, just shit. Why the f**k do you people discuss it like a real movie?

[TiTAN]

It's shit. No more, no less, just shit. Why the f**k do you people discuss it like a real movie?

Because it makes you upset mostly.

[UNR33L]

Why do people go see it when they KNOW it's gonna be silly, stupid, unrealistic shenanigans yet still LOVE to complain about it after paying to see it on release week?! 

[Leroy Peterson]

Ive gone to the last 3 in the hope it's just silly and stupid enough to laugh at. This latest one hit the nail on the head

 

 

[UNR33L]

On another note, just saw DECA results - only 34 cars? I guess that's what happens when it's put on the F1 weekend? :\ 

Keen for the next one as didn't make this one..

[Odium]

Yeah a pretty small turnout, plenty of time on the track for everyone at least!

[UNR33L]

Any rough dates on the next one? 

[emts]

might even have a working diff for the next one..but probably not.

need to be home for a weekend to actually get stuff done.

Maybe they see it so they can complain? See previous post about cult following because people can take the piss out of it...

I expect ridiculous action but they could at least put effort into the writing of the plot which has never been awful...and keep in mind continuity for the previous movies...would take about 20 hours of work for a movie that costs 250 million. I felt much more connected to the characters in the previous films. Maybe absence of Brian?

Didn't know Just Car was packing it in...

[emts]

as of about 4 months ago.

 

no new policies and all current to be spit between AAMI and Shannons depending on the car.

no great loss really had the combined worst bits of AAMI and shannons in one ugly package. and no real lost of competition as the same company ran all three anyhow.
