All of them have been better than the first one. They are mindless entertainment, doesn't hurt anything to watch them.

May be mindless, but the first one came out when I still had my speed shop and I had to fight off the annoying little wanabe ricers with mama's allowance money after that. Seems every time these movies come out, so arises again the late night sounds of mosquito squadrons and an explosion of stupid that hits the streets around here ... monkey see, monkey do ... monkey risk lives, cuz monkey can't drive. Thank God we don't see more mimicing Silence of the Lambs or something.

Hey, enjoy it ... just be mature about it.

You were complaining about an increase in business and sales? And yes there are idiots who will drive crazy after watching it, but every movie has morons that try to copy it. Standing outside talking after Tokyo Drift 2 kids decided it was a good idea to take their mom's minivans + ebrake through the movie parking lot.

Wait. If you're mature about it, I would think you'd avoid watching it in the first place.

I just watched the trailer, since it was free. That stolen safe with a car scene was lifted from the Dukes of Hazzard movie.

Complaining about this movie is like complaining about TG-US, its still car entertainment of some kind. Why not watch and enjoy (even if enjoying it is laughing about stupid things in it).

Just seems dumb to complain about car stuff that is on TV/Movies and then complain about no car stuff on TV/Movies.

No, not complaining about an increase in biz at all ... but that was the point ... most of what they wanted they could not afford and expected miracles from lower profiting items like intakes and exhaust alone. The wannabies (mind you, most of whom were middle-class "from the ghetto" white boyz :chuckle: ) were truly more of an annoyance to the big(ger)-spending more seriously performance oriented clientel we had. My shop was never set up to be a store front. I had 3 lifts and an in-shop dyno for the ones who could afford getting things done "right". Our money was in the design, install and dyno areas. Asking questions is fine, inquiring on parts is fine ... it's the attitude I speak of. These so-called "ghetto" kids would consistantly use the N-word when referring to each other and my shop partners (of whom were NOT Caucasian); and we sometimes had our own children in the office during these times ... "We" did not tolerate it. I'm telling you, it was like swatting mosquitos whilst trying to enjoy the beautiful weather. :chuckle:

As far as the movies go, well there will always be those with lapse of common sense mimicing the fantasy. And I'm not complaining about the movie itself ... I love car movies like Bullitt, Ronan, Gone in 60 Seconds (old and new), and so on. I personally just don't enjoy this series, it's just not my liking.

Fools and their money will soon be departed. Dumb kids with money can mean > profits.

Bit quick to judge the 4-5 movie series by only watching the 1st one. Has been different plots, directors, actors, etc. The 1st one was by far the dumbest and purely 'ricestatic' car movie ever made. Its only use is to memorize funny one-liners from it to use on message boards.

Biggie, I am refering to the temporary invasion after the first movie. The "profit" was so miniscule it didn't matter when dealing with the "wannabies". We had plenty of other low budget spenders that were more respective of our crew and shop, and would take the time to listen instead of claiming they know more than you. Sometimes you have to weed through them, especially when you've got a schedule and critical mindwork to accomplish.

As for judging the series, call it what you want. But the first one set the mood and tone for me during the movie and in it's aftermath, so it's just personal preference not to watch the rest. Is that wrong? :inout:

It is judging the book by the cover. They have become much more action movies than about car sceen/street racing. Most 'fanbois' hate that now.

No, it's being unentertained if not insulted by reading the first chapter; just makes me not want to continue reading. My choice ... and you're not gonna get me to go ... unless there's a barbeque. :yesnod :tongue

Oh man, if you only knew the half. However, I hate fanboy's, and my post about "only in NC" was a direct hit against fanboy's which was in fact agreeing with your above post about "idiots who do stupid crap after watching movies"

So in the end we agree

It's dumb if you are incapable of placing the movie in their correct chronological order. Both the last movie and this new one occur before the events in Tokyo Drift.

Seriously...using two cars to rip a bank vault out of the wall and DRIVE ALONG THE STREET WITH IT?
I thought that was already in a Castrol commercial?
