QuoteI'll agree that many of the computer-aided stunts in movies these days are overdone, like those in the Matrix movies.

I've always thought that the Matrix was one of the few movies that managed to pull off the overdone effects on the premise that its SUPPOSED to be unreal... its all supposed to be happening in virtual reality, so the story line lends itself to physically impossible stunts.  

Where I get bucked is in movies (like Torque) where these overblown, physics defying stunts are sold as 'real' in the storyline.  Maybe that's splitting hairs, but that's my 2 cents on the computer generated stuff.

peace

See; kids see that stuff and try it and get hurt!  Biker Boyz seemed better than this one but even that was a little far fetched.  I just wanna see something that has a chance of happening; not just a bunch of computer aided stunts.

Sure, I'd like to see that in a current motorcycle movie also.  And a real storyline.  If the Torque characters were superheroes riding superhero bikes, maybe the stunts & computer aided stuff would be acceptable.
I think last night I called Torque "f-ing ghey" when we saw a commercial again for it on TV.  Yep, Fast & Furious meets Biker Boyz.

Finally someone who agrees with me :mrgreen:

i think that all these new racing movies, like F&F, 2F 2F and biker boyz are for kids...i would rather watch a moto GP race then biker boyz...

LMFAO!  I love this thread!  On another note, why hasn't anyone commenteed about that girl's spectacular backflip from one bike to the other while moving!  Now that was REAL!  LOL!  I saw Biker Boyz and although it was badder than bad it didn't deter me from learning to ride.  I'm actually glad that I saw it.  Has anyone noticed the trend in movies nowadays with motorcycle stunts?  They are constantly pulling off TOTALLY physically impossible stunts!  Does anyone remember Mission Impossible 2?  Yeah, that scene when Tom Cruise pulls an Endo 180 degree turn and lights up a car with an Uzi?  Yeah, that's right, if you haven't seen it, you've gotta.  Then there was the scene were he jumped off his bike into midair (20ft up!) and collided with another guy at about 80mph or so.  Then they both gleefully tumbled to the ground and proceeded to duke it out.  Classic B.S. there, Hahahhahahaha!

Why do you people always do this to me... :x

My perception of reality is now so skewed...my momma told me everything on TV was real

Damnit!   :nana:

Lane   :lol:

tv and hollywood suck, trying to be a religion for the people, the media is so crooked these days

I seem to remember there being some pretty silly things in XXX too. Like nac nacs while accurately firing a sub-machine gun....or something along those lines. Good for a laugh at least.

I'm looking forward to the day "FASTER" comes out on DVD personally.

don't get me started on hollywood as religion or royalty.  i've done my share of time in dr's offices and dentists waiting rooms this december and if i have to look at one more people f***ing magazine that glamorizes hollywood freakin' idiots I'm gonna puke.  On the upside,  my dr's office today had the new national geographic magazine and  I've forgotten how cool that magazine is.  

Oh and I'm also sick of jesse james and orange county choppers.  Not everyone in the world wants a stretched out hardtail.

Whatayya mean these days?!  It's always been crooked here. you could call it the greedia. Just don't get black leather jacket syndrome, though. Not all from TV is bad. Hollywood - well, let's just say i'm glad The Lord of the Rings was made in New Zealand and not by Jerry Bruckheimer.
