I'm going to jump the gun.  I doubt I will see that movie.  I've seen better CGI from the 80's, compared to what they are showing us in the commercials and trailers.  Really fake and lame.   For a stunt to work, it has to be somewhat believable!

Too bad this movie will most likely unleash a wave of squids.  Don't need some fools giving motorcyclists a bad name.

What do you guys think?

as if we dont have enough squids , id say alright if they keep it to either private property, or a race-track though

well i saw the previews and i thought the movie looked pretty good. ill wait a couple months so i can rent it though.

I saw the previews and I think I'll see it cuz it looks so B.S. :mrgreen:  BTW, what is a SQUID?

a squid is some guy that "tries" to stunt his very first bike (liter bike) and doesnt even know how to ride. and the gear is all wrong. he spends 200 bucks on sun glasses instead of a helmet, 100 bucks on a pair of shorts instead of leather pants. 130 bucks on a shirt instead of leather jackets.

LMMFAO!  I've only been riding for a month or so and I already have seen people like that!  Hahahaha!  Squid, I like it!  That's great, thanks for the education.

You forgot the obvious parallel with the invertebrate of the same name...

They're both soft on the outside, and prone to abrasion when you drag them down a freeway at 80mph.

I thought it was because a squid only moves in quick forward burts but does not turn well.

brought to you by the makers of the fast and the furious!  at least it drove up the value of my car temporarily.  i don't think torque is going to help my gs much.

I didn't see Lamer Boyz and I won't see Torque.  I really want to see them racing through the forest on sport bikes  .  Why is it that some rapper has to have a lame cameo in these new car or bike movies?  I shouldn't complain about Ice Cube though because he has a bit of movie experience.  I thought Boyz N the Hood and Friday were cool.  Never saw Barbershop but I remember it had positive reviews.

Anyone got a link to the trailer ?

but here's a way better movie for you.

http://www.fastermovie.com

check out the trailer on that sight.  "FASTER" is the real thing.

That train jump looked really fake.
I agree that Faster looks way better.

OH, come on you all... two hotties in skin-tight leathers kung-fu fighting while riding down main-street on sport-bikes.... that happens ALL THE TIME around here... fake... sheesh.  

My favorite part of the trailer is when the dude on the cruiser takes his right hand off the bars to shoot at someone behind him, and his engine continues to rev. :lol: .. Kerry showed him how to put  in a throttle-lock?  :dunno:

I don't know if i'll see it.  It looks really lame.  I'm into more realistic movies.  Probly why I never saw any of the Lord of the rings or Harry Potter movies.  Lets try to keep it real!

You guys are all squids for giving this movie lip service!

I am so ashamed that they used a Triumph Daytona 955 for one of the feature bikes.

Why do you want to "keep it real"?  That's too boring.  You have that in every day life.  Use your imagination, man!  That's the beauty of the newest computer movie graphics.  There's probably no way a production like Lord of the Rings could have been made over 10 years ago with the same degree of detail in the scenes.   And modeling would have been a nightmare + not to mention how long that would have taken to create.

I'll agree that many of the computer-aided stunts in movies these days are overdone, like those in the Matrix movies.  That slow motion 3-D effect thing is just too much, IMO.  At least the Matrix Reloaded had proper V-twin sound effects in the motorcycle chase scene.  Other than that I thought that movie sucked.

And my favorite kind of squid... The harley squid.... He does have leather, but its a sleeveless vest, a 1/8 head helmet, chrome sun glasses, and miles of fringe... The bike also is decked in chrome, a $4000 paint job, but he is quite safe in reality cos he only rides bar to bar, and the bike never goes over 15 mph if it will even leave the driveway.
Cool.

That's why I watch movies...to escape reality!
