200 M.P.H.

this movie amazed me so much that i really don't know how to start my review and even wondered if it worths people to write reviews.

first of all, the poor casting and the poor screenplay: both sons looked already over 20 yrs old, the elder brother even looked like reached the 30s, and their mother was still a stripper, a so-called exotic dancer in a strip nightclub? so lets figure out how it was possible that her 2nd son was eligible for a high school graduate applying for college? so suppose it was as the screenplay described, if her 2nd son was 18 yrs old, when did she have the first son? and her first son almost looked reaching 30.....well, unless she had her 1st son when she was 13 and had her 2nd son when she was....eh....well, 16? otherwise how could you accept that she was still able to do the job as a strip dancer? with two son looked and acted like in the 30 and 25, no matter how she tried, she'd in the age of 45 or 55, might hold the world record as the oldest striper still working every night.

this poor screenplay could even okayed into production only meant: the screenplay writer(s), the director and the producers didn't even know what the racing cars should be. they didn't even know what is what, just wanted to fool people to believe their movie was in the same genre and same level of 'fast and furious' or other less superior car racing movies. but it's not, it's pure garbage.

and as for the acting? well, one word to nail the coffin tight: 'horrible'! and i just wish that most of the actors in this movie would leave the movie industries asap, 'cause there's definitely no future in it, especially those two guys who played the brothers. they were just horrible to watch.

nothing worth reviewing further, kinda wasting time. i rest my case.

While this maybe a movie for some people, it will not be enjoyed or loved by anyone who follows the fast and furious or any real racing/driving movie for that matter.

Along with acting, the characters are clearly fresh from b grade TV shows or other sources which required the ability to talk.

Using every trick they can to try and get some enjoyment, your dealing with strippers telling their sons to have a real life. People quoting "did i stutter" along with every other possible rip of they can use.

When they need to use 3d graphics just to make a car come to a halt.

This movie is not really suited for a single audience... using nudity means it will not work even for younger children who might not see the flaws..

When making a car movie, make it about the cars.. make the actors appear to know what a boost setup is... not just them saying 50 psi... nos, springs.

This movie will hurt any true car fan, as this is the only reason i have joined IMDb to warn others of this movie.

Notable Junk:

• Motor bike chase, how she comes off and runs....

• CG Crashes or even simple "car stopping" needed CG?

• Car talk, Britney spears could do it better

CG,,,, this is not even 3d studio max or anything on that level, the 3d used barely had texture rendering little alone any other effects... default gloss with nothing beyond a few 100 poly per model.

***CAR STOLEN DURING PRODUCTION*** Really..... think about this.... what does this say about the movie in general. little alone other things.

This movie actually has a lot of things going for it. A good hero car, an antagonist who appears quite untouchable in the R35, hot girls, and even a decent plot line.

The things which it doesn't have in it's corner are cheap special affects, lame writing, and b-movie casting. But even these things can be overlooked and the movie could have been enjoyable if it weren't for one huge flaw.

The attention to detail. Anyone who is into the import scene will want to literally scream at the blatant disregard and respect for the import scene. Here are just a few mistakes I can think of off the top of my head.

The 370z's specs and stats are completely wrong as is the price. While driving to the first race scene the older brother's car magically becomes an R35. The antagonist R35 has the same specs as the 370z's, nearly word for word.During the race between the older brother and the antagonist they are constantly overtaking each other, but it doesn't show when or where this happened. When the brother crashes he is now in a 350z, not a 370z. When the girl mechanic brings her "blueprints" for what she wants to do to the FD RX-7, it literally looks like a child from pre-school drew them. Why the hell would she show that trash? And the hero is all like "this'll work," LOL! While talking about the hero car and also in the junkyard they refer to the hero car as an MX-5, then when he visits the Mexican gang leader it's an RX-7. 8. The hero ask "can I take a look at it," referring to the crashed RX7 the Mexican gang leader has. He then lift up the tarp from the front of the car, looks for 3 seconds, and then says "well the NOS system is still intact." Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! Where the hell was the thing canister mounted? On the bumper? No wonder his car fell apart! While testing the RX7, the hero goes from an RX& to a 240sx with the same color pant. I mean really, thought you would slip that one by us huh?

Overall it's just a simple lack of attention to detail, and more over any care for the final product. The movie is awful, and I can't believe a movie company would release something this unpolished. Whoever made this movie should never be allowed to make another one, because from what I saw they just don't care about their own vision. Maybe working in the mailroom is more up their alley.

This movie is horrible on all levels. The story sucks, the animations for crashes and spinouts are absolutely terrible, the acting reeks, and even the driving during the races are sucky. BUT it is worth watching. This movie is entertaining on a sarcastic level. 200 mph is so bad that its fun to watch. All the cars are junkies, lemons, ricers, whatever you would call it, except the GTR. Even though almost every car racing movie has a GTR. I doubt that the people who wrote the script and chose the cars actually knew anything about them. The numbers and statistics that they were talking about were way off. For example, 180?? no way. The GTR can max out near 211. In fact during the entire movie, not one car or person came close to 200 miles per hour. This film is a Sunday night, a long day at work, hiding under the desk at school, and an airport layover movie. Not worth watching in any kind of theater. Although it is most entertaining because the mess ups and inconsistencies are so obvious. Not a good movie but it was amusing.

The computer graphics in the car scenes were so bad for a movie made this year that it totally disrupted me from the scene content itself because i was laughing so much! You will see that in some parts of the movie it looks literally like the movie cuts to someone playing a bad computer simulation. to top it off bad acting, weak characters and simple and stupid car tech talk that would have been better left unsaid. This is how it is, I too joined just to comment on how bad this movie is. If you want a cool car flick - then run the other direction. If you like to laugh at recycled crap pull up a very comfortable couch you may wake up 7 hours later if you don't have the option to fast forward.
