Superfast 8

Long gone are the days of Hot Shots, Naked Gun and even Scary Movie. All we have now is the likes of Superfast! whose biggest advantage is tailgating the release date of Fast and Furious 7. A few good jokes and impressions aside, the film is ironically incredibly slow, churning already rehearsed juvenile jokes repeatedly to achieve some form of entertainment.

Story is inspired by the Fast and Furious titles, mainly the earlier one. An undercover cop is trying to infiltrate a crew of street race. It matters little since barely any of it makes sense anyway. The cast is selected primary due to their resemblances to Fast and Furious characters, give or take. Fake Paul Walker misses the mark by miles.

Character development is non-existent, unless you count Fake Michelle Rodriguez coming in term with her lesbian urge as one. At midway point the film even abandons names altogether and called its characters Rapper Cameo or such, which is admittedly pretty good. Fake Rock is also decent, he looks particularly similar to real Rock even down to the gestures. It's a bit creepy honestly.

Script material has been around for more than a decade, people tend to jest about the highly implausible nature of Fast and Furious. Unfortunately, Superfast! does so little original humor as it relies on heavy slapstick and actual slapping. There's a heap of brash jokes to induce cringe effect on the audience. A couple of the gags are acceptable, such as the commentary on usual pop culture or when it breaks the fourth wall.

I guess if a film takes lots of pot shots, some will eventually land. It also remembers to spice up the scenes with scantily clad women, although one can't blame it for following this already proved exciting gimmick. The whole movie felt so lengthy, I could've sworn that it was more than two hours as it drove around in circles.

There are a couple of amusing bits, especially when it has lowered your standard after a few scenes. These are still not enough as incentive to take a slow tedious drive with Superfast!.

This movie is bad, but I have to admit, it's really funny.

Undercover cop Lucas White joins Vin Serento's LA gang of illegal street racers. They are fast and they are furious and they plan to double cross LA crime kingpin Juan Carlos de la Sol who hides his cash in a downtown Taco Bell. The gangs outrageous plan is as daring as it is ridiculous and will see them towing the whole damn restaurant, at crazy speeds.

So, the story in this movie is simple. Of course, this is Fast and Furious parody. This movie doesn't need to be good quality to be funny. I mean, I was laughing at The Starving Games, but I really like hunger games or Vampire Suck... Yeah, I don't like Twilight. This movie gives us all those stereotypes that Furious franchise has like: over oiled Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel with tight shirts.

The actors are really looking like actors from Furious franchise, but these are not that good in acting. Actually, this is too much for spoof movie. Of course, there are clichés like in real Furious movies.

Effects of driving are not that good. Outside of a car, there are some disco flashes that are going somewhere (don't know where). Some nerds are going to say: "OMG! Bikes are not exploding after they hit a tree!". But still, that was funny. Also, some dead objects like dead bird is not really convincing. But still, it was fun as well.

Sounds are not harmonized. Some of the punches are not harmonized as well. Everything is not harmonized. Sounds are not convincing too.

So, this movie is really bad, but still, if you want to laugh, this is all you ever wanted.

... and you might actually enjoy this. And in a group of like-minded people this can be a hoot as they say. The question is, if you're ready to give this a shot and see where it gets you. Obviously this is meant to spoof the Fast & Furious franchise (yes not only one of the movies, but tries to sample from a few, which "story-wise" isn't that difficult as you can imagine.

Some jokes kind of work and if you were a fan of Haunted House and the latter Scary Movies and whatever else was made in the same vain, this was aimed at you. Everyone else probably should stay clear of this. I'd suggest watching the trailer, but it probably has the "best" moments in it already ... One thing is for sure: It's obvious what this is, so don't complain after sitting and watching the whole thing - you've been warned

-Superfast! (2015) movie review: -Superfast! is a parody film by the creators of The Starving Games, but this time, they take on the Fast & Furious franchise! And basically take the plots of the first, second, fourth, and fifth Furious movies and that is the plot of this one. Except the entire thing is making fun of those films.

-As someone who has now seen the Fast & Furious franchise, minus 7, I thought this spoof film was pretty hilarious. It was still dumb, but it was a lot less dumb than every other film in this specific genre, so I really enjoyed it.

-The story took every weak element of the franchise and made fun of it, such as the undercover cop thing, stealing from a really lazy criminal, being pursued by the FBI because reasons, stuff like that. They bring up several points throughout the entire thing that just make a lot of sense.

-The pace was really good actually.

-None of the actors needed to be good, they just needed to be dumb versions of the other characters. And they did just that very well! The cast did well and had noticeable fun. Extra props to the guy who plays The Rock, because he was really funny and 100% on point.

-The characters were the best thing about the film. You have Vin Diesel, who does things like shave his head while driving, makes rants that have zero sense, and suddenly turns on his bearded friend for no apparent reason. The character of Paul Walker was not really based on him that much, (which I found respectful) but instead was a complete idiot and still managed to make fun of the writing in the first film. The Rock, constantly using baby oil, hitting things, and ignoring any sort of actual police work, was just the best. And finally, the rest of the crew: Rapper Cameo, who does nothing, Cool Asian Guy, who eats food in every scene, and Model Turned Actress, who does nothing. On point satire here.

-They made fun of the overly-tense instrumental score, which made me laugh the most.

-They also made fun of pretty much everything else, from easy plot points to logic behind dragging a giant vault. I really appreciate a few more things, while I am at it: The film made no effort to parody other films, but stayed within its franchise. It also was smartly written and had a lot of moments that would really happen, like getting your seatbelt stuck trying to pull it too fast. It also directly references the Fast & Furious franchise. A bold, but funny move.

-So Superfast! had smart writing and was littered with hilarious characters and moments that perfectly capture everything wrong with the Fast & Furious franchise without making you hate them of think less of them. It was still dumb and had a lot of dumb moments, but things like telling them to wrap up the chase because it has exceeded the runtime and budget help propel this film to $5 bin worth for me. I really enjoyed it. But it was Superdumb! -Superfast! is rated PG-13 for some language throughout, and some suggestive content including references and a pixilation. Not as bad as The Starving Games though.

This movie really should have been called Superstupid. The parts that were funny were actually pretty funny, but, the other 98% of the movie was terrible. I mean, the actors actually did a good job in portraying who they were supposed to be but that was all that was done right. Most of the time they tried waaaay to hard to be funny and it made me cringe. At other times it made me laugh out loud. This had such great potential but failed miserably. I actually had to fast forward through most of it to get through it. So sad, this could have been a great comedy spoof but no one will do it again, and of course the incident with Paul Walker would just be tasteless at this point. If you liked the Scary Movie series, drink about six 40 ouncer's of Old English 800, and get really high of some weed you found in the street, you might like this movie.
