The movie that started it all

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2006)

You've all seen them. Kids driving around in their "souped up" cars... tinted windows, flashy decals, low profile tires, sweet rims, body kit, wing, and of course the noisy turbo blow-off valve and a few NOS stickers. This movie is basically filled with street-racers doing quarter miles. Meanwhile, Dom and his goons are also stealing car parts. There's a bunch of sub-plots going on here. The movie wasn't all that bad. I watch it from time to time.
The bad points:

The quarter miles take 5 minutes to complete

They manage to reach 160 mph in a quarter mile. Impossible - Not only that, they manage to use their NOS in the quarter miles

There are quite a few continuity/editing errors that are easily picked up by anyone who knows something about cars

Ja Rule shouldn't act... ever again!

The trend that it started. All of a sudden, everyone knows about customizing cars.

The good points:

The cars are pretty sweet

There is action

It is fast paced

Its watchable

They pump oil into a guy's mouth

Watch it. But don't get caught up in the trend.
