The new movie has released a trailer and a few publicity stills. I personally cant wait for it. Before any one bags me for liking a movie full of Ricers and illegal street racing, i will say that i look forward to this because it centres around all of the main characters from the first installment which wasnt 'TOO' over the top.
Oh and Vin has an SS

Nooo vin needs the charger!! It makes the Vin! lol

really, i just wanna see more of the charger he was supposedly "drifting" in the last movie. I just hope they keep on with what they did in tokyo drift and not make everything CGI like they did in 2f2f which was horrible..

Except that the TRD costs as much as a HSV................................

More like Paul Walker pulls up with a wrecked VS on a flatbed truck.

Smart guy opens the bonnet "Ecotec V6 no !", "This will obliterate all once you put about 500 bucks into it and if we must overnight parts from supercheap!"

I'll see it only because I go and see any movie with cars in it. I suppose it's only right they use an SS in this one. They used the Chargers, Challenger and Mustang, Pontiac is the next step for their Muscle cars I suppose.

But don't worry, I'm sure the SS will be no match for the Civic's with NO2.


Just looking at those pictures,

Does that look like a GT40 in the back right to anyone else? And a Mustang far left?

Yes, it's one of those. I can't wait to see that, it must be awesome, it has a 13B in it.

2005-2007 Ford GT (indicators in rear guard) and 2007 Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang (orange bar through headlights) is my vote...


I'm sure the movie will be fun for brainless entertainment - you'll just have to let the improvised tech speak wash over you (Motec exhaust anyone?).
Rob Cohen directed the first one and really got the money shots IMO, part two was a different director with much less experience, and three was a different director again, Justin Lin - who is also doing part 4.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013752/

In any case, I'm sure it will beat 'Street Racer (2008)' - avoid!!!

I'm definitely watching it.

Might give me some lessons about metal kick plates blow off when NOS hits and how Paul Walker doesn't double clutch.

I've enjoyed all of 'em so far. Seriously. They're fun watching.

You can't take it too seriously.

Paul Walker has to be one of THE worst actors ever. That said, Im quiet partial to number one, but the rest so far have sucked. Wont mind seeing a return to the original formula.

Reasons to watch:

Jordana Brewster

& well I suppose Vin Diesel

Reasons not to Watch:

Rice, Rice & more Rice
Yes even more Rice
Naaawwwwws
Bad Acting
Randomn parts falling of cars, Does anyone know why the floor fell out of his Eclipse in the 1st movie?
CGI and warp drive drag races

And lests not forget the pain everyone will have to suffer from this movie; even more fooly sick VL, Lancer and Excel drivers. And yep Paul Walker does suck as an actor, a modern day Steve Macqueen, yeah right Macqueen could actually drive, act and kick your backside.

3 was a load of crap but the first two were pretty good. I've watched 1 about 50 times. I'll definitely go see it, they're good fun, not to be taken so seriously like some people tend to think.. And yes i've never worked out why the floor fell out of the eclipse either, makes me lol every time.. With most of the original cast, lets hope 4 is a good watch.

EDIT: And for those of you interested, F&F triple pack was on special last week at kmart for $24.95 which is pretty good value..

After reviewing the footage I believe that the ultra-high performance enginge created so much exhaust heat that the nyloc nuts holding the floor up melted and the subsequent vibration resulted in the floor falling through.

Being that the Eclipse was a monocoque body this was clearly an after market modification.

Good to see some of the originals back in it. 1 was the best, 2 was the worst and 3 was pretty cool. Lets hope 4 is as good as 1. The scene at the end was excellent, except for the part when he trashed the car.

Looks like the HEMI is back, wonder how they managed to write that into the script. Looked pretty F#$%ed at the end of the first movie.
