Exactly, since when has Hollywood made a racing movie that is very accurate anyways. Is all just entertainment. Im all for a movie with bitchin rides. Plus this one will have all the main characters from the series in one flick (Dominick, Brian, Han, Mia and Letti) Too bad Neela cant make an appearance, im sure her hotness level has gone up since Tokyo Drift. Is all good fun.

Well, Grand Prix came out in 1966 and Le Mans (best movie of all time) came out in 1971, so I would say 1971.







Who knew that the mutated offspring of a Solstice and Ferrari F430 would be so damn ugly?

McQueen was making Le Mans into too much of a documentary about auto racing. The movie studio made him change the the story to make it more appealing to a wider audience. That is why you see the love story in the movie.

No dialogue at all for the first 38 minutes of the film, and how much of it is actually dedicated to this love triangle?

McQueen made the movie as much about the cars as much as he could, which is why it is the best racing movie ever made.

FF movies are tight. Although the 1st was the best. I would like to see a 8 get more action than the one did in Tokyo Drift. Fake or not, its cars..

there is nothign wrong with the movies themselves except questionable plots and some retarded representation of "street racing". It's a movie though -- so its not supposed to be REAL, its entertainment.

The problem is the broke *** kids who get out of the movie and wind up drifting their 1500 dollar POS honda into someone else's car because they suddenly think they are Paul Walker.

I really don't have a problem with these movies - I enjoyed the first one the other two were "meh" this one? who knows. I just have a problem with the people who go and see it and then try to copy what they see.

Should be entertaining. It should also have terrible acting.

Good to see some muscle is finally winding up in the series. I really enjoyed the muscle in FF2. The camaro was NICE.

I've got Le Mans and still watch it every once in a while. Just the soundtrack of the engines noises alone is enough to give me chills. I don't see another car/race movie made that will come anything close to this.

But the biggest question on everyones lips should be..... What will the next tag line be to come out of this movie!!

Last I heard about the series was that they where gonna hold off on making any more and only do them based off of whatever was "In" at the time. Hopefully the story will be mildly entertaining and hopefully will showcase the cars more than bad acting. Oh and I hope we wont see a Rotary Powered 20b 'Stang lol.. I'm sorry I still shed a small tear seeing that 'stang having a import motor slapped between the fenders.. (though the actual car looks pretty sick, just the ricer in me haha).

Indeed, orange one was nice. Though, not many people I know even realized that it was an RX-7 initially.

Your probably going to be seeing domestics rather than imports this time. I could just see all the import owners trading in there 8's etc., for Mustangs, Soltices etc. after the premiere of this movie I guess instead of Rice, you get Wheat.

well actually i had to watch that little bit like 6 times. i couldnt tell whether it was an s2000 or an rx8. there is also another red car about 2/3 way through the video that i wasn't quite sure if it was an s2k or an 8....i guess we will just have to wait and see the movie
