This movie is a horrible display of writers that don't read their work. Calling a 1992 FC RX7 a mx5/mx7? Get the cars wright and on top of that the car that's used for testing is a S14 from Nissan. Irritating. The plot to the movie sucks... the only thing worth watching are the small race scene. The graphics were horrible guess they couldn't afford a newer version of 3d studio max. And why didn't they die when the semi crashed into the. FC RX7. Oh one more thing the GTR 35 is not an $80,000 car it $150,000. My god son who's 6yrs old knows his cars better then the writers. Sorry to be such an ass, but I hate it when a movies has an appealing title and cover shot. And when u buy it, it sucks.....

Blah is all I can say about this "Movie". As both a car lover and a movie fan this is the worst movie I have ever seen.Here are some of the many many flaws in this movie.Acting:There had to be every corny line in this movie and the "Actors" were as believable as a Leprichaun That Poops Lucky Charms. These "Actors" (if you can call them that) sound like they came from voicing children's cartoons.Cars: Man get it right!!!! I saw the green car go from a Mazda RX-7 (even wrongly called a MX-5) to a Nissan 250SX to a Nissan Silvia S15 in the course of 3 shots. Also in this Movie a Nissan GTR ($85K) is said to have the same Value (80K on both cars) as a 370Z (31K.The car crashes were done in terrible terrible graphics but Iv'e seen better 3d graphics as a kid in 1995 on the show Reboot. Every Xbox/PS2/PS1 video game I've played has had better graphic than that. This is 2011 not 1990 Whoever wrote, Drected and edited this movie should be smacked and never allowed to do anything movie related again AND IF YOU LIKE STREET RACING CAR MOVIES DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. STICK TO FAST AND FURIOUS. IT'LL MAKE YOU CRY!!!!!

I am going to defend this movie; at least a little bit. It's yet another lower budget movie based on street racing, and lets face it no true gear head is ever happy with movies like this. Period. Knowing that this movie was a decent movie for the time, would i recommend you go out of your way to watch it? No, but if you have spare time go a head.Now to cover some of the things other reviewers have said...1. The Nissan in the movie was a 370z; not a 350z.2. The 370z costs $42,000 roughly in the form that it was in for the movie.3. The $90,000 car was the Nissan GT-R, not the 370z.4. They have always made the GT-R both left and right hand drive so having it as such is valid for whomever complained.Now, we all know movies are not true. The explosions we see are over done for special effects in action movies so why does it surprise you they stretch the truth for a car movie.

This is like Fast and the Furious minus the sexy, which means we've got two guys wandering through a junkyard, wondering if they have enough money to soup up their 88 mazda, and all the scantily-clad women in the film work at a cheap strip club with the main guy's mother and girlfriend. Plus, the use of nitrous, which is a requirement for any decent car movie, is only vaguely considered by the mechanic at first. The title is misleading; none of the cars featured could even HIT 200 mph. And the racing scenes are painful to watch with all the jerky cornering and dull, almost apathetic driving. This movie really is the small-town version of Fast and the Furious. When the winner crosses the finish line, a crowd of like 30 extras swarm his car. Probably family of the filming crew or something. And when friends are sitting around, talking about the guy's "killer," (honestly, the guy just lost control of his car/CG animation) they come up with these gems: "what an asshole!" "I know, what a douchebag." I'm sorry, did a NINTH-GRADER write this script? The one good part in this movie is when the girl is being pursued by the bad guy, and every time he gets close, she pops him one in the face. Sure, it's unrealistic, but as a woman, it's hard not to cackle with glee at that. Then she kicks him in the nads as he tries to get a lap dance from her. Luckily, those girl-power scenes redeemed the fact that her vintage Suzuki bike managed to outrace a Nissan "Skyline" The star's one fairly okay actor, Tommy Nash, is hidden behind a Jesus beard, then killed off, which is a shame because he's hot in real life. Editing seems to be done by an overzealous film school student (lots of fades and flash-cuts), and not sure who cleared the CG for the Nissan car crash, but he must still be using a 1993 Packard Bell computer. And the person who played the Mexican drug dealer who thinks it's cool to cruise in a toy Mazda is what I only laughing call an actor. His lines were the most painful to watch in the entire movie, and that's saying something. Also, I can't imagine anyone connected to this movie has ever even driven a car or watched another car movie, because whose bright idea was it to have him hit the NOS in the middle of a corner, or just as he's still correcting from turning that corner? Even I know you do that at the top of the fastest gear, when you're flat out going as fast as you can go. I could go on all day dissecting this movie, because as I said, there is only ONE good part of the movie, and the cars ain't in it. (also, how is it that he's going 160 in one moment, then standing still at an intersection in the next, with the guy ramming his car continually the whole time? Any idea how long it takes to slow down from 160 mph? It isn't one second.) I had low, low expectations for this movie, and it even went lower than that, so you've been warned. However, you might make a good drinking game out of it (for instance, anytime a line is delivered poorly, but you definitely won't finish the movie).
