I like the first F&F movie and Tokyo Drift was amusing. I will see this one for sure tho. How many movies jut about cars are there? (And 'Cars' doesnt count! lol)

^ Actually, the Nurburgring's Nordschleife AND the aut0bahn.



IS NOTHING SACRED?
:lol:

Oh I could only hope they would drive those cars there. They would drop like flies. I would actually take leave for that just to see how many they crash in one day.

man there is some 1st class talent driving these things, big bucks and big talent. I would think they would be fine

I also vaguely remember the iconic god of FJ Jon K building cars for them.

Jon K has been building bad ass cars since I was ten. :lol:

They probably wouldn't put a Focus in the movie because for the most part their crap compared to the rest of the other cars, lol. Skylines, 350z's, RX7's...Focus?...

And how many Civics were in the firs tmovie again? :lol:

...Also, Stars DON'T drive the cars in the movies. Not ever. It's such a huge insurance liability to act and drive at the same time, that they never drive, ever. Sorry.

There was a whole special about FF3 that showed the stars taking drift lessons...

It doesn't matter. My mom could go take drifting lessons if she wanted to. I promise you they did none of that in the movie, and especially while they where pictured in the cars in the movie. It's an age old fact that rarely do actors do stunts, and they never do stunts while being filmed in-car. Nicolas Cage did a few donuts in Gone in 60 Seconds, but thats about it.

Not many probably. Most of those people are stunt and race drivers, probably as good as anyone on here, if not better than the majority of us.

LOL you would be amazed at who drives the Ring and makes mistakes, costly mistakes. Even the Ring Taxi's make mistakes.

yeah so why would it be so funny. so what if they filmed and a pro driver made a mistake. i dont get the humor in that i guess.

oh and if those were pro drivers in those clips you posted. they werent acting very professional thats why that happened.

Yeah I hear you, but you said they NEVER drive the cars EVER. And in fact, they did. :lol:

I beleive one of the drivers was Scott Speed and both of them were F1 drivers. Professional drivers are not perfect. I find it funny when drivers think they are beyond the rules and soon find out that they are not. Lots of bruised egos on the Ring. Sometime those egos cost others their lives, that is not funny. I would rather see a good recovery than a good crash.

 

[MattZTS]

well i dont really follow racing so i dont know anyone. anyhow they way the driver was acting was really stupid and thats why he crashed or got crashed into in this case.

 

[FSWerksVP]

Do you really thing Focus-Sport would exist if that movie had never came out? I sincerely doubt it.

You have it backwards...without the tuning industry that movie would have never been made. And yes, as others have noted we opened our doors well before the movies came out.

Ya and I know he has lost it 2 times in turn 9 at Willow, at least one time totally waisting his Ferrari

There are several really good actor drivers, at least one racing in the GS class in the Koni Challenge- Doctor dude on grays anatomy

 

[thefrush]

^^ Patrick Dempsey. And I find 'really good' to be an exaggeration.

 

[jinstall]

Jason Preistly was a good driver.

 

[sleeprfocus]

Frankie Muniz :lol:

 

[thefrush]

^^ Ugh, that retard took out the points leader in the final race of the MX-5 Cup last year ruining the poor guys shot at contention.
