You can't have not heard of "The Fast and the Furious", the movie has changed the face of youth car culture globally. What was previously an elite interest in modified cars can now be seen in every town where the movie has inspired car modifications from vinyl graphics to oversize spoilers. This movie stars Paul Walker, a relatively unknown actor at the time, alongside hollywood big name Vin Diesel. Both appear great castings for the roles they fulfill, Diesel the sinister "bad guy" with troubled past vs Walker as the all American good guy playing the undercover cop. The movie sees "Brian" (Walker) attempting to infiltrate the underground street racing scene, where Diesel's character rules the scene as the racer everybody wants to beat and never can. Unfamiliar with the in's and out's of the scene Brian is initially shunned by all until befriending Diesel. Brian is undercover to foil a series of complex truck heists undertaken by skilled drivers where Diesel is the major suspect. As the movie pans out Brian seems no closer to solving the crimes as he sinks deeper into the racing scene he is supposedly policing. Resulting in a dramatic climax and happy ending. The movie exhibits fantastic special effects and action throughout. Jerry Bruckheimer directing of course means the movie is well made and guaranteed entertainment. That aside it was shunned by critics who perhaps were looking for more than simple entertainment. The movie offers no "meaning of life" messages etc etc, but a good time can be had watching the action! This special edition includes extras such as a rather poor documentary on "how" to modify cars, perhaps more accurately it's how to hand a car and $50,000 to a garage and let them do it all for you. That aside, it's well put together as you'd expect. Sadly it spawned a sequel that probably only tarnishes the name of this exceptional movie, most likely why Diesel declined a role in the sequel!Read full review
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does great justice..rocommended dvd to have in your selection but all depends on your own personal views! great dvd and i will purchase more from ebay.
This is one of those films that gets panned by the critics but draw me to watch them over and over. Some find it a bit shallow and very "Hollywood". If however you are into the cruising/modifying/street racing scene you will love this. The basic story line is this: A few articulated lorries carrying high-value goods have been knocked off by the same gang, driving black honda civic's with green neon lights underneath. The FBI suspect that the culprits are involved in the street-racing scene and have a name in mind. Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) is chosen to become a street racer and mingle with Dominic Torreto's (Vin Diesel) gang to find out who is behind the hijackings. Brian begins to discover the true depth and integrity to Dominic's gang, leaving him to question who's side he should be on. the script won't win any awards, but that really isn't the point. Its a bangout of big stunts, petrol and testosterone. Plenty of fast cars and fast driving. Well modified and exactley how it should be doneRead full review
