I just saw this film last night and it is far better than The Fast and the Furious.

I actually cried in this film, firstly when Sky was saying goodbye to his dad as he was leaving for Hong Kong and secondly when they were all in the morgue crying for Panda.

However there weren't that many cars on displayed compared to the Fast and the Furious but I think that was made up by the storyline which had a little more heart than the Fast and the Furious.

I still enjoy the Fast and the Furious but now having seen The Legend of Speed, it is by far better.

I thought it was better than Fast and the Furious. IMO, it had a better plot. (plus I like Ekin MUCH better than Vin Diesel)

fast and the furious was just sad. bad acting, crap cars, no storyline and a serious lack of realism. This movie is actually decent and worth watching unlike fast and the furious (or even the second one).

First off, The Fast and the Furious is not all that great a film. I thought for sure Legend of Speed would be better when my friend got it from Netflix. Boy was I wrong.

This film has some of the worst racing scenes of all time. The race leader regularly changes hands for little or no reason. There is little to no feeling of continuity in the races. The director is clearly a filmmaker and not a car guy. Showing cars "going fast" repeatedly does not make a scene and/or a movie. Oh, and I guess these racers are too hardcore to use a racing harness, only regular seatbelts will do for them.

Ekin Cheng is so unappealing in this film that I was rooting for him to die in a crash. Never did I think I would prefer Paul Walker as the protagonist in a racing film.

On a final note, when that toy EVO flew off the shelf with no outside influence, I just about keeled over from laughing.

I found this movie to be much better than The F&F 1&2.
Like skylinerox said the F&F 1&2 is just eye candy; filled with a bunch of bulls**t chrome, multi-colored paint jobs, and all around flash.

IMO Legend of Speed had a far better plot. It encorpertad alot more emotion which kept me even more involved in the movie. There are s**t load of ups and downs. It was also the only movie I know of that referred to the pressure of forced induction in bars; which uped its' points in my book. Also the characters seemed to have more depth.

AS SmokeManmuscle stated: "This film has some of the worst racing scenes of all time. The race leader regularly changes hands for little or no reason. There is little to no feeling of continuity in the races. The director is clearly a filmmaker and not a car guy."
This was the only bad point in this movie. People would just push the gas and pass one-another up. It was like there was no end to the floor boards and an infinate throttle cable. But I will say that the races were much better than the F&F 1&2.

This movie is in fact a remake of No Man's Land (1987) starring Charlie Sheen..

so the only bad part of the racing movie was the actual racing?

You nailed it! The racings are quite lame in The Legend of Speed. Racings are better in The Fast and the Furious.
Now the story and acting in The Fast and the Furios are even crappier.

In short: Both movies sucks. The Legend of Speed has a better story and slightly better acting (to act better than Vin Diesel is hardly a feat, though). But the car racings are better choreographed and shot in The Fast and The Furious.

The best thing from both flicks are the girls. Kelly Lin and Cecilia Cheung are really beautiful.
