Couldn't be too bad for our resale value, on the other hand those movies are all about rice and I hate that my car would be associated with rice.

 

I completely agree with BillZ_Fan...Take the evo for instance. After the second movie that's all I ever heard about, "evo, evo, evo." The local Mitsubishi dealership can't even hold on evo's, if you want an evo it has to be ordered.

This would definitely not hinder the Z's popularity.

 

It's kinda' cool that I could possibly own two Fast and the Furious cars, since I own a 1968 dodge charger too.

 

I can't see it hurting sales... [sarastic] just imagine all those autotrader adds "Fast & Furious" at a price of $30K[/sarcastic]

 

Ugh, this series has been painting a HUGE bullseye on the import mod scene. Modding cars and racing them isn't something new, but foreign modded cars are driven by gangsters and criminals, thx to this movie. Anyone else think it's a coincidence that cops are cracking down on streetracing and noise polution after FaF and 2F2F came out? But looking the other way when it's a old mustang or cobra??

 

He did a sequel! He did one to pitch black.. can't think of the name of it even though it's in my damn dvd collection(not home)

 

Chronicles of Riddick. And the first Fast and the Furious made the supra craze go out the roof, I can only imagine what it would do for the 350Z. Loved the first movie but the second was no good.

 

Actually was not a "sequal" to Pitch Black, it was called "riddick" I believe and was a spin off from hich character on Pitch Black, but it was not labled a "sequal"

 

I actually liked Chronicles of Riddick

 

Me too....
Do you think they ll call it Much too fast and no plot???

BTW, Hi everyone, Im a newbie and have been quietly watching proceedings for a bit!

 

The movie was too cliched, and the dialogue was just horrible. It had a few cool scenes though.

 

man i hope not..please don't let the 350z be the lead car.

 

Damn I hate fast and the Furious. I remember when I was in the market for a Supra before F & F hit the movies you could find Supra's for a reasonable price. Right after that movie came out everyone and their mom wanted a Supra and people were trying to sell their Supra's for $40k plus. I wasn't about to pay $40k plus for a used Supra.

 

Its a page long article on it in the new modified magazine...It was talking about how the 350z will be heavily represented. It also said that the writers were immersed in the jdm drifting scene and that they even have some of Japans top drifters on the payroll..Im guessing to add as much realism as possible to the movie.

I actually like the first one but the second one was wayyy too "hollywood". One thing for sure is hate it or love it, i guarantee 90+% of the people on this board or gonna go see it regardless. Its a cash cow...meaning no matter how bad it is its still gonna make a TON of money...Universal knows this, so im not expecting a whole lot from this one.

 

And that died down real quick. Every Mitsubishi dealer I drive past has 10+ Evos sitting in their lot nowadays.

 

Not true! He played the Riddick character twice

EDIT:Whoops i see a few guys beat me to this!

 

Actually Riddick was the prequal not sequal or spinoff. It was the story that led up to pitch black according to documentary.

 

OK Ready

 

He played the "character"' twice, it was not the same movie or a sequal..It was a spinoff of his character from Pitch Black...

 

Well, I'll have to say I have been pulled over a lot more times in my Firebird (American Muscle) than in the 350Z or any of the other imports I have driven. But then again, I don't cook my rice. LOL !!!!
