Saw the film last night, point break with cars, v.modded Japanese motors.

No Scoobies though !

But if you love woooshing of dump valves, then this is a movie for you...

Yeh, I'd say its worth watching, just keep in mind that it's a low budget movie. Don't expect to much more from it than cars.. fast cars, an unbelievable use of NOS, flammin' exhausts, Bullitt style gear changes and some cool stunt driving

Vin Diesel is good, enjoyed his last film Pitch Black.

Good Def Jam soundtrack too..

Saw it last night.....really good film.

VERY loud from start to finish and non-stop action, car racing etc. etc.

Cinema was full of boy racers though

How long until neons make a come back on 1000cc novas, following this film

Go see it.

If you go see it brace yourself near the end, I very nearly wet myself, I won't give the plot away ( not that there's much to give away :rolleyes but it involves a wheely, a lot of smoke and a 1/4 time I could beat in the Fiesta

Well I have just got back from seeing TFATF. Right the good points -
Nice and loud
lots of fast cars
A Couple of nice lady's

And the bad points -
Plot (I guess that was edited out, wouldn't want to confuse the audience!)
It made my Scooby (With big full exhaust) seem quiet afterward

Yep, bob T, I reckon I could have cycled faster than the last 1/4 mile

Quality film, loved every minute of it!!!

Plot wasn't too bad either.

Some great cars and great women!

Loved the Supra one serious machine!

Heard on the grape vine you can buy the first car (green) for £75,000 (fuly spec'd show version) will be shipped anywhere in the world! 550bhp ish.

I would if I had the money!
