A movie about an undercover cop who tries to become a street racer to stop high speed truck hijackings. They race, somebody dies, it has a dramatic ending. I liked it.
but the reception...is so/so.
here's my thoughts.
its a good movie. the plot is not as deep as i wouldve liked, but its a fun movie to watch while chilling at home on a rainy day. it did fuel the import boom in the US and also street racing in Cali. but its not a car advertisement, its a MOVIE!! LOL
you cant blame a movie for its interpretation by the viewers!
its not supposed to be funny, or realistic, or whatever, its just an action/fun movie.
dude i just saw The Fast and the Furious yesterday, it wasnt a great plot but overall a good movie, and barring the misinterpretation of the movie that says "Go get an import car and lets go cook some rice" the cars actually looked cool

People that generally do things quickly and people that are extremely angry.
Jeff can run a mile in 4 1/2 minutes. Kevin always gets really mad and beats the shit out of people. Together, I'd probably consider them to be the fast and the furious.

A completely pointless modification done to a car not worth modifying.
1. Look at that fast and the furious spoiler on that Cavalier.
2. Hey, do you hear that fast and the furious exhaust on that Civic?

An undeservedly popular film that, considering it is set in a real world where the laws of physics and science apply, is bereft of even the slightest shred of credibility. So much so that even a scene of someone taking a piss on a pavement would have been executed in the most unrealistic manner possible. In fact, piss could no doubt be converted into emergency fuel in this films universe. But taking the piss is all this film will do to anyone with a 3 digit IQ.
It, along with it's many sequels and clones, is widely responsible for motivating the chav populace of Britain to mod their 2nd hand/ stolen / scrapyard Vauxhall Nova's by adding spoilers, neon lights and great big exhausts that virtually any person could fit up.
To put the twattyness of this film into perspective, the opening racing scene strongly alludes that the main characters car is going so fast that he is just one inch away from time travel. Anyone who watches on beyond this scene, on basis of enjoyment and not criticism, is a fucking cunt of the highest order. For bonus twattage, Vin Diesel is seen wearing a Christian necklace throughout, despite his spare time hobbies of illegal street racing, highway thieving and gang related drive-by shootings.
Rated "R" for Retards.

Bad movie about streetracing that caused millions of morons around the world to think streetracing is cool.
If you ever need proof that media *does* affect people's way of thinking, look no further than The Fast And The Furious.

The movie that re defined chemistry. Apparently it is now possible to blow up an inert gas (NOS) by using a cigarette lighter. Nitrous (aka. NOS) is actually Nitrous Oxide or N2O. I do not see any hydrocarbons to burn there.(Quick chemistry lesson: When nitrous oxide is heated up, such as in an engine, it breaks apart to become separate nitrogen and oxygen molecules. This provides more oxygen to the engine which in turn gives you more performance) The movie that also gave a bad name to the R34 Skyline, and the Supra, and BMW, and many other respectable cars. As for exhaust manifold buildup... the only way I can see this happening is if your turbo suddenly decided it liked being a brick wall instead.
Even though Hollywood says it's possible, you still cannot burn an inert gas. Fast and the Furious made my inner car guy cry.

A lazy ass movie with nothing but stupid buzzing chunks of crap street racing, and idiots who spend 100 grand on shit that has absolutely NOTHING to deal with their car's performance.
1. Did you see those SHITTY MOTION BLURS IN THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS!!!
2. My beat up, 15 second 89' Mustang LX just pulled away from some piece of shit that looked like something you'd see in the Fast and the Furious.
3. The Fast and the Furious SUCKS!!!!
