Yes, your thread is BULLITT!;):D

Gone in 60 Seconds came out before the Fast and the Furious, yet the Fast and the Furious gets more recognition and youth praise. Thats one reason I think its just a copycat, and not only does it have a really fake looking "drag race", but they stole the "NOS" idea from Gone in 60 Seconds.

If you recall, the Shelby had one which helped Raines(Cage) out run the patrol chopper.

WOW, what a fun thread, I have to put Bad Boys 2 in this, they even threw in a Boat! I also like the Rock with the cable car.

Totally, that is why this site can be so cool. When people actually post positive things instead of

....another piece of trash I won't see, or this sucks that sucks, sounds like the stoner kids we used to beat up in jr. high.

It is cool if you don't like a movie, say so, give a reason and move on. But there is a lot more to learn about positive things, like Temple telling me to ren "My Life"

I also recommend Dirty Mary Crazy Larry from 1974..."Keep going partner, 'cause my top end is unlimited!"
