Summary: Life's 10 Important Lessons - courtesy of Hollywood
Review: 1) If you break the law you are cool, if you don't break the law you are not cool.

2) You get all the hotties if you are cool.

3) If you are cool you can afford a nice house, parties, and fast cars without having a job.

4) You make friends with cool people by beating up uncool people.

5) If you are rich and asian, you must be a gangster.

6) Properly tuned 4 and 6-cylinder engines have just as much top end as supercharged V8's and V12's (but V8's can do wheelies.)

7) It's ok to let your friends sleep with your sister, as long as you threaten to break their face first.

8) A woman's purpose in life is to sleep with cool guys.

9) No one ever dies as a result of street racing.

10) There are no ugly women at car shows.

The movie gets two stars because of the racing scenes (hey, gotta give credit where it's due). Besides, we weren't really expecting oscar material, right? Looking at the other reviews on this site, apparently girls only need a couple of hot guys in the movie to be happy. So sad. Maybe this is actually a chick flick?

Anyways kiddies, review these lessons and use the enclosed coupons on your Toyotas, Hondas and Acuras. Natural selection will take care of the rest.

Summary: A Fast and Furious a MAJOR Blowout
Review: This film was recommended to me by a friend who knew I love good action movies.... so I BOUGHT this one and the sequel too! I was really disappointed, especially since the night before I saw MATRIX RELOADED, which is 10 times the action movie this bomb is. The plot on this turkey is so dumb that only a 12 year old could enjoy it. A pretty boy blonde cop goes "undercover" to live among an east L.A. car racing gang that likes to steal, carry weapons, engages in road rage, and are generally are obsessed with sex kittens and beer. The cop does everything he can to get found out by the thugs... he falls in love with one of the girlfriends of the gangmembers, picks fights with them, and says he has NO money, but drives a car with tens of thousands of dollars worth of upgrades to his car... and doesnt even mind putting it up as a wager in a couple of races... make sense? Okay... he ultimately makes friends with the leader of the gang and makes friends with him then actually feels sorry for him in the end and gives the car the police department gave him at the end of the final race!! Good grief!

Summary: The Fast and the Furious
Review: Lifting the plot directly from Point Break (1991), The Fast and the Furious is a turbo-charged ride with hot women, outrageous stunts, loud cars, and an equally loud soundtrack. Director Rob Cohen seems to be playing it safe relying on the sure-fire formula of said girls and cars after the critically-mauled The Skulls(2000). And the film indeed does work well with all the elements that make a no-brainer movie like this a winner with audiences. Vin Deisel makes a stand-out performance as the main man of the late-night drag racing, and Michelle Rodriguez provides enough eye candy for all the pre-pubescent boys. The story, as it is, is basically the same as Point Break, with Paul Walker as an undercover cop attempting to infilltrate the late-night speeders, then joining theit unique culture. The sub-plot involving gangsters fells like it's been tagged on to create more of a plot, but who cares? Rob Cohen knows what audiences want in an action flick like this, and it suceeds admirably. Turn up the volume, set your brain to half-mode and this is a winner.

Summary: The Fast and the Furious DVD
Review: Lifting the plot directly from Point Break, The Fast and the Furious is a silly testosterone-fuelled action ride with hot chicks, outrageous stunts, loud cars, and an equally loud soundtrack. Director Rob Cohen seems to be playing it safe relying on the sure-fire formula of said girls and cars after the critically-mauled The Skulls (2000). And the film indeed does work well with all the elements that make a no-brainer movie like this a winner with audiences. Vin Deisel makes a stand-out performance as the main man of the late-night drag racing with NOS-fuelled hot rods, and Michelle Rodriguez provides enough eye candy for all the pre-pubescent boys. The story, as it is, is basically the same as Point Break, with Paul Walker as an undercover cop attempting to infilltrate the late-night speeders, then joining theit unique culture. The sub-plot involving gangsters feels like it's been tagged on to create more of a plot. And watching it from an objectional standpoint, this isn't very impressive or original. But Rob Cohen knows what brainless audiences want in an action flick like this, and in that caveat, it suceeds admirably. Turn up the volume, set your brain to half-mode and this is a winner.
The DVD extras include a commentary from director Cohen, "The Making of The Fast and the Furious", trailers, deleted scenes with optional director commentary, a visual effects montage, Exclusive featurette on editing for the MPAA, Interactive eight camera angle stunt sequence, Movie Magic interactive special effects, Storyboards to final feature comparison, Music Videos (from Ja Rule, caddillac, Tah and Faith Evans) and DVD ROM features.

Summary: Fast and Furious?
Review: I have to say that this movie did have its good points, to any women reading this review, Paul Walker and Van Diesel are HOT! The cars are cool and the racing rocks (though stupid and should only be in a Hollywood movie and not on "real" streets)! I have to admit that the plot is pretty much non-existant and some scenes could have been left on the cutting room floor. I gave this movie 3 stars because;
1) The cars are really cool!
2) Paul Walker and Van Diesel are hot! and
3) You have to give credit where credit is due, it was a well filmed movie and the camera angles were also very well done, (I work with filming TV and so I see little mistakes in everything, but this one I saw hardly anything. That gives it a thumbs up from me).
I realise some of my stuff is bias but I actually liked the movie. So for what its worth, if you go to your local video store and buy a "previously viewed" version for $15 or less its a good movie.
But please, DO NOT TRY ANY OF THE STUNTS AT HOME! Because if that's your plan than don't bother watching it. Thank you and good night!

Summary: What a piece of crap!!!!!!
Review: This movie is one of the worst movies of all time!! Is incredible. All the people that I know that like this movie are not bad people but they have something in common. They are all teenagers (or 20 or more that didn't finnish High school)or/and they are all ignorant (At the level of not knowing who wrote the Declaration of Independence or thinking that 50Cent and the Gay Unit is something serious and not a joke), they all listen to the To 40 all the time and they watch MTV or they just are easy to impress. I remember my friends inviting to watch the movie when came out in DVD. The girls said the guys in the movie were hot and the guys told me the movie was "out of this planet" and 5 out the 8 people, that were gonna go were girls so I went. I watched the trailer so I knew it was gonna be bad but I didn't know it was THAT bad!.
Ok, it begins with a bounch of morons stealing DVD players. There are so many mistakes in that scene that is actually funny. Then, an "undercover" cop that looks like a damn model gets into the extraordinary world of the underground street races. "Hot women", "hot "rides" ", and "hot music". Until now, all of those that thought that "Independence Day" was a good movie were excited. He gets to know Diesel who is "The man" there. He could get any girl he could want (Of course they are all hot and just like Diesel in the real life, they have no brain). Well, if you haven't seen this movie and you think that Shaq and The Rock are bad actors, hey, wait until you see Diesel in this one.
Well, our blonde buddy becomes a friend of Diesel after he loses a quarter mile race that takes like more than a minute to be over and saves him of being captured by the bad guys (The Cops). The movie continues getting away from the DVD Players issue at times. They think the one that is responsible is this Chinese guy but they can't get him. Diesel actually beats the Chinese guy up when in reality the Chinese actor can beat the crap out Diesel in real life because he is a martial arts expert (The one from the movie Iron Monkey). Well, the blonde "undercover" Cop gets Diesel's sister, races here and there and after a while he tells Diesel he is a Cop and he hurts Diesel's feeligs. Brilliant right?. Ilegal Races that causes accidents are shown as something that is not bad. Women are nothing but sex objects. The only good message is ...wait!there is none!!!. The fact that a movie doesn't teach anything useful is bad. But if is in a movie made for the teenagers (And we all know how easy to convince of doing stupid things most of the are), then that's totally awful. I won't explain the end because is just too stupid. Diesel, who should go to jail gets away with his iegal activity. Nothing wrong with bad guys that don't pay in movies(Because that hapens in real life many times) but I'm against of showing that as the right thing.
At the end of the movie, the people at the room were happy and all that. Some screamed "yeaah!!!". I remember months before I was out of the movie theather and they were showing this movie (That I didn't see then of course) when I got to the parking lot I could see all those morons driving fast ( Many at more than 40 miles per hour in a parking lot that wasn't empty. Very responsible. Clearly shows how smart the guys that liked this movie are)and making the wheels sound. Horrible movie. Bad message that changed the life of many "smart" kids. Bad acting performances. One of the most stupid plots ever and a "reality" that is nothing but crap. Months later I was talking to some people in on of my class. We were bored and there were no books or magazines so we decided to write down in a paper the ten best movies of all time. Each got a paper.I gave my ten best. Movies such as "Citizen Kane" or "Lawrece of Arabia", "The Godfather, "The Godfather II" and "Ben Hur" among others were in my list. When we exchanged papers and after getting a kind of mad at most of them because they didn't know most of the movies of my list, I discovered with horror that most of the people wrote the name of this movie down!!!. I just can't give more reasons to explain why this movie is STUPID. I think that only the second part can be worst.An advice. If you have the characteristics I mentioned early in this review then go ahead an press no. Many of my friends love this movie, but I'm not them threfore I can say that this movie sucks (By the way, I'm a teenager) If you think I'm right, Avoid this crap!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: True Streetracing whats all about!!!!
Review: This is Better then number 2 by far!This actually concentrate about streeting racing then in part 2.They were actually true street racers in this film i mean how cool is that.This is explore the culture of street racing is all about how people come together and race.Cars were really nice and sweat and i mean SWEAT!Shows you how young teen people or young adults blow there money on there cars then on other stuff to make them stand out or faster then others.

The plot was really focusing on the main character Paul And Vin alot to show you who they really are and the others characters as well.Some of the movie had a bit amount of mistakes buts all good but this is one movie its all about how race your car not stand next to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it's fast it;s furious
Review: I must have watched the film 20 times over, and it never seems to get tiredsome,it's full of illegal racing,attractive women.This film is the film that brought street racing in the public eye, it;s every where.With a great cast paul walker and Vin Diesel, the plot is forgotten.When i'm cruising in my bad boy Nova it's guarenteed that you'll see an atempt at reconstucting some of the cars, the skyline, the evo, honda s2000 ,the honda civics and the ever popular toyota supra with the graphics which i see people coping all the time.

Rating: 1 stars
