Most Influencial Car Movie... - Toyota Yaris Forums

fnkngrv · 07-25-2006, 11:35 PM

What do you think would be the most influencial car movie that brought you to love everything about the sheetmetal that can roll down the road at 100+ mph?

It may be hard to believe, but for me growing up it was Grease...they had some phat street rods and roadsters and I loved the roar of the big v-8s.

def in todays world of modifying , Fast and Furious no question , it brought about car modding more as a fashion than a way of life , which is good for sales , but not good for us car heads , as it makes everyone look like fashion heads rather than true max tunning guys , do i make sense?

I was about 16 when the first Fast & Furious came out and before that, I was relatively new to the car scene. Immediately afterwards, I took automotive shop and repair and anything else I thought that I could take to make the car faster. 240SX Fastback with a KA24DET and a huge spoiler? Yeah, that was me about 5 years ago. I won't deny it. I've grown and learned sinced then, but there will always be the little ricer inside of me.

Yup, smokey and the bandit and dukes of hazzard. (DofH TV show, the movie was horrible, old and new)

LeMans- Steve McQueen is a god.

Bet nobody thought of that. The Late Night Drive In on Speed shows it every once in a while. Work night or not, I'll stay up 'til 3 to watch it- again.

There is nothing that comes close to hearing an old Ferrari GTB or old school Porsche LM screaming down the backstrech of the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Okay it was never really a movie (maybe a spoof or one that was crappy rip-off) but Knight Rider...I know you're shocked and wonder if this has to do with my user name

But its my favorite 80's show (yeah I know not a movie!).
Although they did a movie version early 90's but I don't think it was approved by Larson (Knight Rider creator) and its sucked badly...okay, okay Knight Rider was a sappy poorly done show but that's the beauty of 80's shows like this one, that's what makes it great!! And David Hasselhoff! Need I say more?

VidKidz · 07-26-2006, 07:58 PM

Back in the 70's it would have been Corvette Summer followed by Smokey and The Bandit. That 'Vette in CS just blew me away back in the day.

Now that I am older, it's Ronin. Any movie with an Audi S8 can't be bad. :)

Anyone seen TAXI? NO... not the crappy remake with Queen Latifa, but the original 3 FRench Films by Luc Besson starring a heap of Peugeots at really high speeds ? AWESOME movies-- especially the first 2, the 3rd one is a bit far fetched as the car grew wings and could glide. LOL

Another recent lot of films i enjoyed were The Transporter 1&2 -- More Euros belting around at high speeds!

There were three, actually. The 2nd had the same characters, the 3rd didn't. I was kidding, in any case. ;)
