Tim240z Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I really enjoyed it, but then again I'm one of the few who will say outloud that I enjoyed Fast and Furious (I don't look at action movies as documentaries, so I don't worry about the corny'ness or inaccuracies)..... XXX was very James Bond'esque, lots of very far fetched stunts and cool 'toys', ala 'M'. Great mindless entertainment. BTW, has anyone else noted that the volume (soundtrack) in theaters these days is painfully high.....do they feel that the high volume level will mask the terrible acoustics? Next time ear plugs are in order I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Did Clint Eastwood or Clyde have a role or a cameo appearance? LOL! I enjoyed his movies for years despite the inability to verbalize a complete sentence with any skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Actualy Tonk Hawk had a cameo. I also enjoyed the flick. However I would have loved to see those Ferrari's in action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I saw it tonight. I liked it in the same way I liked TF&TF. Cool action Fluff film. Did ya notice the dash of that GTO.. someone here posted that pic a while back and guys weren't sure if it was real or not.. Remember the twin shift lights? Tons of action in that flick..big time.. Loads of laughs and fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 ZR8ed, I saw (as did John C. Owen, Dave etc) that GTO in real life. It was at the car show on the day that I had the adios BBQ for Dave. Anyway, all that stuff is fake...the gauges are paper, the shift lights are bogus and even the power bulge on the hood is just a piece of plastic. Also there was one of the F&F Hondus...the wing and all the 'add on' stuff was all just cheap looking pastic (really cheap looking). Quite amazing how bogus the movies actually are.... I bet all those Ferraris were just Fieros with kits. ha ha ha. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 You mean the original batmobile wasn't a real jet car? I suppose your going to tell me wrestling is fake too... Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well I dont usually lurk around these parts but I did happen to watch xxx on monday for my b-day I thought it was a great movie and I have been telling everyone all week that it was very james bondish so its funny that you said that also tim. I admit I watched f&f 2 times. Despite the car illiteracy and inconsistancies I thought BOth were very good movies. Hey even if the cars were fake which Im sure they were the still looked good enough to eat on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 i liked f and f, like all movies, a little out of proportion, but i enjoyed it. especially the part when everyone is standing over dudes eclipse "ok lets see here, he has a t6 dominic, COLD AIR INTAKE, dual stage nitrous, 600cc injectors, and(drum roll) stand alone fuel management" havent see xxx yet want to.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 cool 'toys', ala 'M'. Don't you mean "Q" M is the head of MI6. Yes, I'm a big James Bond geek, I have all the movies on tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsun660z Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Thats so FUNNY on sunday I saw XXX and loved it, but at the end and we were leaving I told my room mate FINALY a replacement for James Bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 We went to see it at the drive-in. I can`t get my 2 yr old to sit still in a theatre. I thought it was a cool film I`m just glad he drove a GTO, and not a honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 The mountain dew commercial with the Trans Am (always wanted one of those) rocks haha. Its funny you really need to put a disclaimer at the beginning telling people this was done by profesional drivers. I guess kids would try it otherwise.

Okimoto Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I saw state of the union, that was a joke. I remember watching something on TLC on how they made that car though, and thought it was pretty cool how they only had one opening door. But the CG was just way too much!

Guest tony78_280z Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 from 8-15-02 to today,.. damn! Somone has been hittin the archives. Anyhow. To hit Tims orignal question. BTW, has anyone else noted that the volume (soundtrack) in theaters these days is painfully high.....do they feel that the high volume level will mask the terrible acoustics? Next time ear plugs are in order I think. I have noticed that theaters with realy good sound systems don't crank the volume but clear and crisp sound reaches your ears... those with poor sounds systems try to compensate and crank it up. Makes you wonder about that A$$hole next to you at the stop light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Archives....................Tim does not let on but he has been deaf ever since he saw that movie.. I now understand why Alex has such a warped sense of humor since he was taught by me and Ol "Lone" . The anonymous posts are me and Lone wise cracking. I miss "Lone". He saw evereything in life at a different angle. He went belly-up and sold his rat rod Hybrid Z and just disappeared...anyone know how he is doing these days.

Dp351zcar Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 3x was ok I thought but I would say this. Has anybody seen and liked the short run of shows called Firefly. It took a couple of the shows to hook me but I think that they are good shows. Take a look a at the ambassador(hooker) in that show.
