I saw F7 on Saturday night, loved it - yes it's over the top, but very entertaining.  And several mopar tributes, cudas, challengers, road runners, Chargers,   Even a dart poster in the background.  Love it

Saw it Saturday. Wasn't sure I would like it until the 1st scene was a 72 Cuda, couldn't look away after that.  :popcorn: Do agree the action scenes are a bit far fetched though, but it's what passes for entertainment these days. Nice tribute to Paul Walker anyway.

I liked the Delorean inspired 68 Charger VIN was driving at the end :drool: :2thumbs:


Ya that charger is nice - it's the one Nelson racing took to sema last year  :drool:

 :-[   I've never seen any of these movies.... To me it just looked like horrible acting/plot lines and wrecking nice cars?

Yep. That's why most people want to see them. Most (not all) academy award winning movies with "great acting" never win at the box office.

Saw it yesterday and sure, its entertaining.
But the storyline gets thinner the more movies they make and i feel that no 7 was an all time high when it comes to wrecking nice cars.
Who cares about crashed jap tin cans but the Road Runner, that hurts...

I seen 1 and was it 2? where there was controversy of a girl kissing a girl. maybe that was episode one,? I remember one, because some magazine said it wasn't a real Charger wrecked, it was chicken wire wrapped with cellophane, maybe HotRod?

It wasn't like the dukes of Hazzards shows, I seen they come out with a 3? 7? for real? No way.  What? How? Vin Diesel in it? Seriously?

Good thing they didn't do this with Bullit. One was most excellent. any more, and -  YAK. Puke.

I don't get it, but I'm an old fart. is this a Vin Diesel retirement movie genre?

Sy Stallone wore out his welcome in the Rocky series, but he never made it to 7. Good god. Will paul walker be fighting george forman? Or Vin diesel with a russian guy?

A good movie to watch is the Bourne series, I don't know which one it is, but one of them has a Mini Cooper chase scene, THAT is really bad ass! I think it's the second one. I would rank it up there with the Bullit chase scene!

I rarely go out to movies unless it's for the kids or something like that. This does look like a really good movie I haven't seen it yet but from the commercials it looks pretty good except it looked kind of fakey with Vin diesel driving a car out of the building.  I assume that was CGI effects.

I would much rather see a car movie that does not use CGI and doesn't have some of the crazy jumps. Sort of like in the remake of gone in 60 seconds when Nicholas cage did that jump with Eleanor that sort of ruined the movie for me.

That Charger is insane!   Will be cool to see some video of it racing a Bugatti Veyron!
