These movies do nothing more than fuel the minds of inane teenage boys who think that Paul Walker is king of sideways so they believe they themselves are the exact same as said moron.
I really hope that one day , someone produces a REAL movie about drifting , involving REAL D1 drivers & the challenges they face on & off the track.
Oh wait...they've made several. They're called Video Option.
Goddamn F&F double pus.

i dont really find the fast and furious series bad at all.. Theres a good amount of quality in those movies and i find them alot better than movies like Red Line.
really looking forward to this 4th F&F

A good amount of quality? Where?
Can anyone access this 'quality'...?
I don't seem to have the right password.
I also hope that they make a movie with real drifting and stuff.
Yep...F&F3: Tokyo Fail.
But I will never follow street racing after how many accidents happened from speeding and driving in the opposite lane.
So you don't follow what F&F is responsible for in the first place but go on to say that you like what the movies are. Dude , STOP.REWIND.PAUSE.

i think yur being a bit too critical to whoever likes a good entertaining movie wes. I mean it is a movie. Whoever thinks that everything in a movie should be real is ridiculous and just plain stupid. Theres plenty of quality that can be found in F&F. For example, in tokyo drift the drivers were REAL D1 drivers. The cars were real. If someone wanted to watch the actual real thing theyd watch formula D on the speed channel wouldnt they? F&F is just for fun. overall i personally think that F&F is a good quality movie.

Fast & Furious = 99% of ricers... The other 1% is from ricers following the ricers who watched F&F
Its always a retarded storyline. Never really shows the truth in any way at all and it will lead to more people trying to imitate them and cause more accidents... some minor some fatal and thats just the truth

I actually like the Fast and the Furious despite the fact that I generally don't like the type of cars featured in the movie. In my opinion F&F are bad car movies but good films.
What sucks about them is all the ricer fanboyism they are creating. But from the rumours, it sounds like this fourth movie will feature American Muscle cars.

Wow where do i begin,I as a senior in high school am required to do a senior project based on a hobby or a career i enjoy. Throughout the project I am supposed to follow someone and learn from them. Because my interest is movies my mentor is Derek Haas, who happened to have wrote 2F2F(he also wrote 3:10 to yuma and the new movie wanted with angelina jolie:) ) anyway, my research paper has to be based on a controversial topic, so i wrote one about the influence of street racing through movies.... I just think it's so sad that the decisions of a bunch of idiots is blamed on movies,which may suck or not. You would be surprised how much blame is put on these movies everytime an idiot is involved with street racing. I just don't think it's fair that these movies are blamed for the acts of a bunch of dicks, by the way I am not a great fan of the FandF movies, but still they are made for entertainment and nothing else.

Hov , If F&F movies didn't have scenes depicting illegal activity , it might have turned out a whole lot different.
Street racing & drifting on public roads with cars driven by , supposedly , scary Asian gangsters & American pretty boys is enough for any idiot with a set of keys to justify doing it himself.
I mean , just look at the way it's presented. They make it look like some high class , glamorous thing to do that'll get you the hottest babes & mad respect in your 100,000 dollar car when in reality , drifting is a bunch of poor a$s kids who don't really care what their car looks like. And the girls are plain Jane. Most of the time there's no women around at all.
Until you see the Jap D1 championship. Ooohhh the girls!!!
And yes , in some parts of Japan they actually do drift on the street but it's usually at the end of a road , blocked off & organised to some extent. By that I mean it stays in one place for the duration of the meeting.
As that's really the only place in the world where such a thing takes place on a regular basis , it definitely should NOT be done in a movie showing American pretty boys & Japanese 'gangsters' giving the impression that it's done in the middle of a large city with extremely stupidly looking modified ricers.
If F&F3 was about drifting , they missed out a very important & large part of real drift culture: TOUGE.
I must admit , these movies do have great sound. Listen to them through a 6:1 sound system. Great sound.

That's exactly it, people blame the glorification of an illegal activity in movies for street racing epidemics, but what about the other 96743839506039382 billion horrible things glorified in movies...Do people watch scarface and start selling coke? Do people watch the a-team and start fighting crime? Any crime movie shows how cool it is...AMERICAN GANGSTER.... a 2.5 hour long GLORIFICATION about the man who single handedly dominated heroine sales in america...Do people watch that and start trafficking?

I guess you can't help the influence, but all I am saying is that street racing isn't the only illegal activity glorified, but only in street racing are movies the main blame of all occurrences...so far i have only done a research paper...ill post it ...by the way...my research is in support of the idea that movies are the blame of street racing...because there is so much evidence against it....at heart i feel like the idea of movies being blamed is ridiculous...but in the paper i write in support of movies influencing the audience.... there is so much research just for this one specific topic, i couldn't help using that towards my benefit.
Monkey See, Monkey Do
Martin Morones and Robert Canizalez are apart of the street racing sub-culture. They enjoy racing their cars down the street at speeds which totally disregard safety in every way and are way beyond the legal speed limit. Street racing is known to stir adrenaline and give people a rush. What Martin and Robert disregarded about street racing was that it was also known to take the lives of innocent people, and bring intolerable amounts of pain and suffering to their families. Dora Groce, 41, her son Robert Groce, 8, and daughter Catherine Groce, 4, were killed on October 8th, 2007. Martin and Robert were racing together, when one of them lost control and broadsided Dora Groce’s car on Parkway Drive at Elliott Avenue in El Monte, California near a four-way stop. Steve Groce was the husband of Dora Groce. He was stripped away from his family, he was left without his wife and two children (Parker 1). In 2001, “The Fast and the Furious,” made $80 million in only the first 10 days in theatres (Peak and Glensor 1). Also in 2001, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 135 fatal crashes were the result of street racing. The total had climbed 72 fatalities in comparison to the reports in the previous year. According to the NHTSA, the leading cause of death of people ages 16 to 20 is motor vehicle accidents. Statistics show that 49 people are injured out of every 1,000 who participate in illegal street-racing in the U.S
(Race the Strip 1). This means innocent lives may be injured or killed due to the idiotic decisions of someone else. Movies that honor the illegal and dangerous activity of Street racing have caused a major increase in the popularity of the subculture; there is not enough done to prevent the positive portrayal of street racing in films. Street racing is an illegal activity that endangers the lives of many, even innocent bystanders. Movies demonstrate street racing in a glorified manner, which has led to an increase in deaths and street racing accidents. Although movies do not intend for audiences to gain positive views of street racing, there has not been enough done to prevent it.
Street racing is dangerous and endangers the lives of many, most of them innocent. In 1999, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety stated 5,749 teens died in the United States from motor vehicle crash injuries (Race the Strip 1). Racers claim it is safe to race in deserted areas, with no residence or commuters around, often the sight of an uninhabited area inspires a street racer to drive well above legal and safe limits; there are many scenes throughout “The Fast and the Furious” movie series where this may be seen ( Derek Haas). This still does not stop street racing from being illegal or decrease the amount of danger involved in the illegal sport. This way street racers are more prone to travel at higher speeds and to collide with other racers. San Diego is where “The Fast and the Furious” was filmed, this is also where the street racing problem has been termed "epidemic." Sixteen deaths and 31 injuries were directly related to illegal street racing in 2001, just in this city; this was the same year the film was released (Race the Strip 1). There are three different types of street racing which are impromptu racing, organized racing, and hat racing(Street Racing:Too 2). Impromptu races could happen at any time
to any one who gives into someone else’s challenge. When drivers pull up next each other at a stop sign, or stoplight, and revs up his engine, or looks at the other to signal a challenge is on, this would be an impromptu race(Street Racing:Too 2).. Organized races are planned ahead of time. Usually racers close off a road for the race, or find a remote area late at night or early morning. Hat Racing is when several racers compete for money, or pink slips, which represent ownership of a car (Street Racing:Too 2). All three types if street racing are seen throughout the “The Fast and the Furious” movie series. “Even if you don't get hurt by participating, you can face legal issues, either by hurting someone else, having illegal car parts on your car, or just by being present” (Street Racing 1). As a problem becomes more visible and more common, it is perceived as more acceptable to the transgressor. With movies glorifying a problem that is already a growing trend, it becomes more difficult to diminish or even contain the issue.
Movies influence their audience to participate in the illegal act of street racing.
According to a community policing report by the 2004 U.S Department of Justice Office, the film “The Fast and The Furious” did the most to boost the popularity of street racing (Peak and Glensor 1). Many tragic events have occurred following the release of this film; one may think that these events are just coincidence, but these events are certainly not coincidental and are the work of the film. In Los Angeles, a 78-year-old man was killed by a speeding driver who had just left the movie. In Redwood City, California, six men were arrested for racing down the highway at speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour; all six of them had ticket stubs from the “The Fast and the Furious” in their pockets(Peak and Glensor 1). In Florida, 7,216 citations were issued out for racing on the highway in
2001, and that is just one state; this was also the same year that “The Fast and the Furious” was released (Street Racing 1). Derek Haas is one of the screenplay writers of “2Fast 2Furious,” the sequel to the highly successful “The Fast and the Furious.” Derek Haas contributed most of the screenplay in “2Fast 2Furious,” he wrote the dialogue between the characters in the movie and most of the actions that took place. Derek Haas has stated that “2Fast 2Furious is a reflection of what Michael Brandt (co-writer) and I saw in the street racing scene.” Street racing events were accounted by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, which allowed the film to portray real life instances seen in the actual street racing world. Scenes in the movie containing actions based on real life street racing give credibility to dangerous stunts as opposed to fictionalizing them, which would disallow viewers from recreating them. Street racing has always had a positive portrayal in films such as: “American Graffiti,” “Rebel Without a cause,” and “Smokey and the Bandit.” Each one of these movies has caused a rise in racing at the time of their release. After the film “Smokey and the Bandit” was released, there were more black Pontiac Trans Ams sold than ever, Burt Reynolds, who was the main character of that movie also drove a black Pontiac Trans am (Cheney 1). Street racing’s existence in films is positive and wrongfully inspiring, it is possible to still keep street racing in movies and media without the spread of the dangerous practice.
There isn’t enough effort by the movie industry to prevent the spread of street racing. Public warnings are issued by the movie makers, but they do not demonstrate the true capability of the dangerous acts, nor do they inform about the law-related consequences. Derek Haas stated that as a writer he was aware of the potential danger
the movie may cause. “When the DVD came out, we had Paul Walker and Tyrese (the main actors of the film) tell viewers that they were trained by professionals and the stunts
were performed on closed courses.” This was meant to be one of the main warnings of the film (Derek Haas). During the release at theaters there were no significant warnings, except for text stating basic information about dangerous acts in the film. It demonstrates the lack in effort to truly notify viewers of the possible consequences that arise from mimicking the film. The first Amendment gives people to right to free expression, but there should be a way to govern certain films on the messages they give to the public, because in all reality the public puts a lot of time and attention towards media and it has a great influence in their lives. There should be enforcement towards proper warnings when a film has the potential to contain negative influence. Audiences may be manipulated or influenced involuntarily; there must be regulation to prevent it (Cheney 1). There can be a lot more done to filter messages given by movies, but it is still the responsibility of the viewer to decide what’s right and wrong.
Movies portray many immoral and illegal acts positively such as: Murder, drug-use, cheating, and many other awful acts. These things are easily recognized by viewers as erroneous. In most cases, audiences are able to filter the things they see in films, they are in control of what they like/dislike about the movie. The audience can decide what’s right and what’s wrong. When one sees a topic that is dangerous, illegal, and victimizing like street racing glorified in movies, it can stir curiosity and inspire exploration. The movies are to blame for this, but it is the duty of the audience to identify the obvious consequences of mimicking what they see in a film. There are no efforts into enforcing
filmmakers to credibly demonstrate the danger of street racing and that its portrayal in films is false; therefore audiences must be able to distinguish what they should not reenact. When street racing is made positive in a movie, one shall remember that movies are not real, and that what happens in them isn’t real either. What are real are the deaths of young people who were submerged by the attractive trend of street racing. The deaths of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, etc, that were not involved with street racing is also what is real. Movies have contributed so much to the amount of people that were involuntarily taken away by the stupid choices of others.

^^^ First paragraph of Race The Strip is so true.
That was a fine read.
And yes I do agree , it's the fatalities & anguish in real life that aren't directly related to movie influences that are also the worst.
There's gotta be thousands of incidents out there that the public just doesn't hear about.
I'll give you an A for that. Now go & eat your lunch said the teacher. lol.

Nov 25, 2007, 7:45 AM
I agree with Hov.
If you're smart enough to accept it as a movie, you're smart enough not to do something stupid in your own car. I am guessing that, by your previous comments; wes, that you dislike all hollywood movies because they are a bad influence? No?
If you don't then why have such an issue with the F&F series? It's not glorifying anything in the way that Die Hard was not glorifying terrorism. It's how the film is preceived by the viewer, thereafter, all decisions are made by the viewer and are a result of his or her mental incapacity.
Fast and Furious has brought with it many good and bad points. Yes, there are the misinformed kids who aren't mature enough nor responsible enough, but there are other things which have come as a result too. Without those films there would not be as much interest in the Japanese car industry, or the modified car industry. For the intelligent people there is more truthful literature for them to feed from, and more interest in anything to do with cars is, in my book, a good thing.
After all, as with anything, if you don't like the movie content, don't watch it. That's your decision, and if you still watch it even though you don't like it, that's relative of your own mental incapacity to tell yourself otherwise.
Chris.

One really good thing Derek Haas , the writer, told me during an interview as that in street racing everyone is accepted. At meets or at races, no one cares if you are black,white,Asian,Latino,Indian, Middle Eastern, whatever you are.....Everyone is accepted...I really like that ...and that is one positive thing shown throughout the movie....this is specifically about 2F2F

Ok lets think a minute about how stupid and influencing these movies can be on young children the movies were... I only saw F&F, 2F2F I'm glad i didnt see the 3rd...
1st one: The movie starts off with honda civics -.- jacking some big rigs for there parts, and lets not forget these hondas are riced out, paul walker drives an eclpise then he has problems with vin diesels crew... then they race he loses, cops chasing everyone, he saves vin diesel, then hes suddenly apart of the crew, lets not forget his eclipse gets shot up by some asian gangsters, then he gives them a burnt up supra, they magically fix it, he races a ferrari and wins (not saying its not possible), they go to race wars, the jetta guy loses a race to an s2000 (no ****) and he runs away, then they go and try to jack another 18 wheeler, paul tells that girl hes a cop, plan gets screwed over, they crash the civics n wutever, then he tries to arrest vin disel, jetta guy dies, they go n kill the asian gangsters on the bikes, then they race paul vs vin diesel... that mustang was the best car in the whole movie, he crashes and lives, paul gives him the keys and he gets away
Good story line? NO. how much of it was realistic none. lets not forget the whole time there using NOS like its nothing, blocking off streets to race, and civics going under 18 wheelers -.-
2nd one: he has a skyline, they do a race and jump off a huge bidge (again with nos), he sees hot Eva, police chase them, he gets caught, he starts working for them again with Tyrese :-k, they get a ecplise again and a lancer, they work for a cuban guy, they all race to a ferrari, (lets not forget the crashing and making it seems like its nothing) they shoot at each other, the cops come, blah blah blah, they go to a club and put a rat on some guys stomach, then him and that girl flirt, she sneeks to his boat or wutever, the guys come n try to find her, then they do a big mission with the money n what not 1 guy gets blown into the water, dont forget when they all meet up in the garage n the trucks smash and push the cop cars back and they scatter everywhere while they switch cars, then they meet with the cuban guy he drives himself to his execution, they fight, tyrese smashes them, they go and save eva by jumping onto a boat -.-
Garbage movies with retarded plots... they show death, crashing, and stuff like its nothing, racing like idiots on other sides of streets, putting that this is "NORMAL" racing in peoples minds

Hov's paper was good but there DID used to be a governing law of ethics in movies, the "Hayes Code" thank god it's gone now, it lasted forever and it wasn't until the 60's that it was finally dropped for good, (there was a brief period after WWII when the government allowed movies to ignore the Hayes Code and show the realities and horrors of war)
but yeah it basically said that no ill deeds could be performed on film without proper punishment, so many films simply had awful things happen but they were eventually punished by the end of the film, it was there way of getting around tough subjects.
when the sixties came around and the code was done in for good, the "antihero" became a product of the culture and the new standard for film protagonists.
Anywho i liked all three movies:
the first one i just thought was cool the first time i saw it, and i drooled over the black charger.
the second one i laughed my ass off a just how preposterous it was, i really only re-watch my dvd of it for the driving scenes, some of them turn out pretty cool :)
the third one didn't have paul walker and it made the film feel very different, but i actually ended up liking it the best of the three, it felt like a better put together movie than the other two, probably because of a bigger budget, but it turned out much better as far as a coherent story and character progression than the second one ever did. It was sacrilidge putting a nissan motor into that mustang, but i still liked it the most as far as re-playability goes.
I'm a film student, btw, just in case nobody noticed. :D
and don't get me wrong, i'm a huge fan of low-budget movies, but F&F3 just looked better than the other two.

These movies do nothing more than fuel the minds of inane teenage boys who think that Paul Walker is king of sideways so they believe they themselves are the exact same as said moron.
I really hope that one day , someone produces a REAL movie about drifting , involving REAL D1 drivers & the challenges they face on & off the track.
Oh wait...they've made several. They're called Video Option.
Goddamn F&F double pus.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:D:D:D:D:D
good sound and Video quality!... i think it's good to show off a high end Sound Systems and Tv's!.... but yes.. the story line SUCKS!....and F&F, will never get up to same Level as Steve Mcqueens "Le Mans" movie!.... and even the never Le Mans movie F&F can't beat!..... eventhou that sucks too!

I refused to watch the third F&F movie ("Brainless Drift" or whatever the hell it was called). The only reason I even watched the second one was because there was nothing else on TV that night, and I was really bored......I can really do without movies that glamorize unsafe driving practices on the street
I am sure there will be other movies abut drifting though. It is too big of a fad not to be capitalized on. Then like any other fad, it will be forgotten in time, and the next one will take over
