I'm watching.
Hate to break it to you but none of the cars can do half of what they do in these movies.

And it is a BRZ (Or at least it started life as one)

Android streaming box. I bought my Minix (one of the best ones) off Kijiji.

Nobody likes to lose, but I obviously will take a hard long break or take a hard long look in the mirror if I do take a bad loss.


Just for reference, the Telegraph of UK, describes Fast and Furious 7.


"For the seventh instalment in the multi-million dollar joy-riding franchise, the emphasis was on real stunts. Only 10 per cent of the action sequences in the film were generated by computer, which goes some way to explaining why so many of 340 cars used in the film were trashed."


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/201...st--furious-7/


(I believe the reward system calculation for number of clicks a link gets has changed significantly in the last couple years, but I still trust your opinion and understand your frustrations)


I always thought reenacted, "make believe" entertainment has plenty of value. I'm watching.

Oh don't get me wrong I love the movies and will indeed watch them as long as they keep making them! I just recognize that the cars can't do most of what they do on screen in real life. Let's face it, in real life all the characters would be dead or in jail after the first 10 minutes of the first movie much less have the cars last through what they do to them. "Real stunts" are still stunts not real world driving.

My favorite is the Charger burn out wheele. It can do a burnout or it can do a wheele. It can not do both at once.

I remember watching a "Jackass" movie twice with some Japanese and Korean folk. They were not impressed and in fact disgusted. Yet some of us found it hysterical.


Fast forward today, a few years ago one of the "stars" appeared to crash his high performance 911 at over 130mph.


You are right. Dead or in jail appears to be appropriate punishment.

It truly is. The trailers are cringeworthy. The movies no longer have anything to do with racing, but instead act as though the CIA would employee a group of jackass car thief's who know nothing about anything, to go save the world from tanks, bombs, helicopters, etc...

It's so bad that it is not only laughable but painful to sit through ha ha

The first few were so dedicated to racing that the guys took the calipers off their cars for weight savings!
