It's been done.

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2002)

Well, it's a pretty slick production, and the cars were kinda neat, but I felt it lacking. Basically, the races should've been shorter, and the chases should have been more original. The set up of cars chasing a semi was given its ultimate form in The Road Warrior. That is the ultimate expression of that setup. Nothing in this movie comes close to the stunt work and energy of the chases in Road Warrior or Mad Max. Now, other movies have done cars chasing a semi, such as Black Dog, but none have been as similiar as Fast and the Furious. You've a guy hanging on the front of the truck, you've got the truck driver using a shotgun, you've even got similar car wrecks. If you sat down and did a shot by shot comparison of Road Warrior versus Fast and the Furious, you'd be amazed at the similarities. Anyway, check out the original Vanishing Point, or White Lightning for some great car action.
