F&F is like Speed Racer cartoons ...
And drifting is like synchronized swimming ... no real reason for it other than ... well there is no reason.

Those movies are badass!! They are sooo hilarious!! You just can't take them serious, i just see them as comedies that make fun of ricers. Me and my friends can just start quoting all the ridiculous parts and laugh about it for hours. I can't wait till the 4th comes out lol.

Thank God I have only had to suffer through the first one and small parts of the second one. No amount of money on Earth could ever get me to watch the third one. And I didn't know there was a fourth, so I sure as hell won't go see it.

I will admit I enjoy watching the F&F franchise movies for the comedy entertainment. It doesn't bother me that they are so wrong on technical items, I wasn't expecting a realistic documentary film. You have to take it for what it is, an action movie with some class-B actors, mixed with some cars and nice looking women. I sure wish the car casting director on the 1st movie would have picked some better and less rice-appearing cars though.
However, most of us that street raced in the pre-F&F era tend to blame this movie for ruining the street scene for everyone. Until this movie came out, the media wasn't really into blasting street racing, they didn't even pay attention to it. We used to street race here in Houston on an almost nightly basis. Hell, sometimes we even had HPD officers hanging out and watching. Things never got out of hand, and it was late at night in deserted industrial districts. I remember racing from 9pm thru 3am several times, with rarely a cop to be seen. If you got caught, they just wrote you a ticket and you were on your way home.
But, these idiot kids that watched that movie and just got their licenses. Geez. They were brainwashed into thinking that 4-cyl power was the ultimate, and that V8 cars were slow. They also thought that overdone paintjobs with stupid wings and such were the vehicles of desire. They also thought doing donuts and running into other cars in parking lots was cool. They felt weaving in and out of heavy traffic in crapbox cars that couldn't even handle was cool. These idiot ricers began showing up at the street races, losing control of their 200 hp shitboxes, running into cars, tearing up private property, and giving the street racing group a bad name. The media sensationalized it and called it a terrible crime, and now here we are today.

Yup. I remember countless nights in the mid 80's on Center Street and Westheimer we'd go stop light to stop light racing, nary a police cruiser to be seen. Didn't matter what you run just don't run nitrous, that was a first class ticket to getting your *** kicked as it was seen back then as the ultimate cheater's trick. But those were such good times, parking and talking, cruising and racing. It's all **** now. If you lost then, so what, re-tune and come back another day. Now, someone loses and it's their whole world crashing down.

I don't see how so many people can think the first one was the best lol. I try to watch it just for the entertainment value and the hot chicks but all the corny lines make me want to throw up. I can't watch the first one. I actually liked the second and third but they are still corny. I'll watch the 4th. They could've made these movies so much better. I like all kinds of cars so I don't hate because these shows are full of imports. I actually own an AWD turbo Talon. But the ones in the movie were so gay. I mean who puts a giant flying robot sticker on the side of their neon colored cars lmao!!
