the actual article where FnF2 denied the neon

I found the article in AutoWeek where they talked about fast and furious 2. It was an interesting read, and they have a lot more cars, and a lot more muscle cars too, like vipers, mustangs, camaros, chargers, etc, etc. I also read where they filmed race sequences going well over 100mph. (most movies film at slower speeds, then speed it up to make them look faster) And the pink S2000 (shudder) is driven by a HOT asain girl.

This all may have been posted before, but anyways, it's a good read for those who haven't seen it.

So to the neon...

Quote
[hr]Now before you think THE FAST AND FURIOUS 2 is totally indiscriminate in the cars it cast, consider this: "Dodge wanted Neons, the SRT-4's, in the film, but the director wasn't going for it," says Moser. (official car guy for movie) "When you have Skylines and Evos, it's hard to put in a Neon."

Indeed.[hr]
Not that the neon isn't fast.... but as shown, Fast does not a good car make.

Naw, this is Devon Aoki's first role in film...she's really more of the modelling type, and works for Lancome...









Not that I'm following her career OR downloading massive amounts of her pics

Anywho, just thought I'd throw in the info...

Everyone on this site WILL watch this movie on opening day or very, very shortly after. There is no doubt about that, I don't care what people say about hating F&F.

I liked the first one and I will probably like the second one. The only reason everyone dogs F&F is because after the movie the cops cracked down on all of us with the loud cars and s**t, they were never doged before but after the movie the cops were being as$ses......So the SAME thing will probably happen after F&F2......Dont get pulled guys

man...seeing that picture of the 4 cast members and the nice matching job of their clothes to their rides...vaguely reminds me of when my little bro used to watch power rangers. each person had a "color" and their vehicle was that color too. odd. i dunno what my point is, and now having typed all this, i realize i just wasted some forum space. ah well, it'll be a fun movie no doubt.

I'll see it, I sure some of the car scenese will be cool, I've already given up on hollywood making good movies, so I figure the movie will meet my already low expectations, and I'll enjoy some nice cars and have plenty of things in that movie to make fun of like the first one.

I disagree.

Let's put it this way: the only thing good about the movie was seeing our favorite cars as stars on the big screen. (ie everything else sucked as far as acting / script / plot / script / acting / acting). I'm sure we can all quote at least one stupid line in the movie.

Read this


I rest my case.
