I saw this soon after it was released. Not the most believable of plots, nor the most realistic of stunts, but hell it was a visually impressive spectacle!

I actually preferred the 7-series he used in the first movie.

Yeah, my favourite was the one where he flipped the car to hit a crane hook, thus pulling the bomb off it.

Well it's not as if it couldn't have happened in real life. Just very very very very unlikely.

^No it doesn't. I remember it being dusty and scratched. But hey, cars nowadays can take lots of punishment. Good advertisement for Audi.

Hmm, maybe you're talking about the earlier chases. It was certainly damaged towards the end. In any case realism often needs to be transcended to create entertainment. Having the guy keep having to find new cars because he trashes all of them is a bit dull.

Is the scene after the kid goes to the doctor? Yeah, the damage was a bit too slight after that, I agree, but it was still dusty.

No, it was like brand new. Cars might be able to take lot's of punisment, but in that movie it was totally unrealistic. |
