Umdaginn þá rak ég augun í litla grein á bls 20 í Car Craft (April 2001) og fjallar hún um kvikmyndina “The Fast and The Furious” og eyðileggingu á flottum bílum í henni og´þá ákvað ég hreinlega að skrifa greinina upp hér og pósta hana :)

Avoid the Rush and Hate It Now

On March 23 Universal Studios released The Fast and The Furious which during production was known as Redline. It's a movie its Web site says is “a fierce and frenzied look at the rival Los Angeles street teams who use street racing as a means of establishing power.” Um, yeah right.
By the way, The Fast and The Furious is apparently not a remake of 1954's The Fast and The Furious starring the always wooden john Ireland as a fugitive fleeing justicve in Dorothy Malone's sports car. That sounds better than “a frenzied look at rival Los Angeles streett teams,” does'nt it?
As this is written the film is still months away from release, but we've seen an early version of the script (it sucked), looked at the Web site, and viewed the trailer. That we figure, is enough to conclude that we're looking at a major stinky turd in our front yard.
While the trailer is filled with stupidly painted import cars and absurdities like Honda Civics driving under a moving semi, it also contains some scenes of a ‘70 Charger with an obviously phony blower sticking from it’s hood. And it features a scene of that charger somehow mystically rising above the nose of a semi (rather than slamming into it with a sickening and deadly thud) and pirouetting through the air in self-destruction.
Hey Universal, destroy all the Mitsubishis, Hondas and Toyotas you want. But they're not making Chargers anymore. And too many of them were already scattered by The Dukes of Hazzard back in the'80s.
