Great cars, thats about it
I watched this movie the other night on some cable channel. The cool cars caught my attention, but then slowly I realized how stupid the movie was; not the hi-speed race across the country, but the fact that all the cars kept exploding. What’s up with that? Cars rarely explode on impact, if they did they would be too dangerous to drive. And what was with the big car crash scene near the end of the movie after the guy in the Firebird got shot in the head? All the cars kept on crashing into the wreck and exploding, why were they exploding? And after they finished crashing it was clear that there were no people in the cars which made the entire scene seem so fake. Cars without drivers? I’m not saying that I wanted to see human bodies burning, but not just empty cars just burning. The whole scene was so stupid.
And then there was the body damage to the cars that kept on disappearing. The characters in the movie kept on intentionally crashing into each other repeatedly, which I thought was cool because it really showed the competition between the racers, but then after they were done running into each other, the damage to their cars was gone. What was that all about? In one scene the cars were all smashed up, and in the next scene they didn’t even have a scratch. That was just plain stupid!
