Ed... I agree completely ..
When I watched the Nick Cage "Gone in 60 Seconds" and saw Cage stop the GT500
CLONE on the suspension bridge, look at the wrecker with the two loading tracks pointed skywards, and then start to back up the GT500
CLONE I thought "uh oh..." then I witnessed that dreadful CGI special effect of the GT500
CLONE flying through the air for hundreds of feet and land with "minimal" damage, I very loudly proclaimed "OH BROTHER.." in the theater. I just felt like I had been cheated out of two hours, and $6.50. I guess I was expecting "Gumball Rally" again, which is impossible. Those movies will never be made again.
As far as 2Fast2Stupid, I would not even waist one wooden nickel on that P.O.S. THANK GOD they opted out of using the Cobra replicas in that movie. It was bad enough that they smooched a Mustang Saleen to pieces under 18-wheeler tanker tires (saw that in a preview trailer for 2Fast2F#ckedUp at another movie). Unfortunately my son Nick did not get his 2F2F'up vaccination, went and saw it with friends, came home and immediately proclaimed that he wanted a Nissan Skyline GTR.... I'm sending him to a recovery clinic to get "deprogrammed" this weekend...
Oh yea.. one more CRAPPY ASS movie that I waisted time and money on was "Yo Adrian!" Stallone in "Driven". The CGI animated racing and crashes in that P.O.S. almost made me "Driven" right out the exits before it ended!!! AAArrrrgghhH!!!
Everyone should go out and buy DVDs or VHS tapes of Grand Prix, Le Mans, Bullitt, French Connection, Gumball Rally, even Ronin, because we will never see realistic car chase or races in new movies again....
