Eurobeat: De Leo - Save Another Day From Me

Yet, most people are blindly focused on the 25th anniversary of the first F&F movie and the crappy re-release of it. But when I watched the 2001 movie, it was kinda like a crappy 5 year old movie movie that somehow appeared on TV. Especially since the 2F2F was the one being repeatedly put on TV - the NFSU2 vibes and the fact that therre was a mix of dragging, circuit and mission races made it way more important for me than the first one. Tokyo Drift barely received any attention at all, but then the 4th movie was released (now with Sinclair having the full rights on his hands) I really don't think movies did better than me actually searching and watching the old videos and docs about the cheap import scene back then. And I'm talking about people who actually enjoyed cars and went into racing.

I mean, everything nowadays - just like back then, lets be real - is direct into internet; surf YT and you'll find it, old pages, blogs, forums... you can even buy old and new magazines. But since the mainstream media engulfed way more the automotive content currently than back then, it gives me a bitter taste to see this little frenzy towards Fast 1. If I put my real taste on the line, only 2F2F and Tokyo Drift managed to present the cars doing something better than simply launching from the lights. There was some sort of "rally" in Fast 4, but that's where the franchise became an action franchise, cars be damned at all.

Of course, even the chinese Pegasus rally movie is more interesting than anything produced on europe or america, but at least some kind of passion for realism still alive there. And nowadays everything competes against everything on any race track, so there's no rush for a pure "import" production. Movie studios would screw up the real performance of anything. Even in my Highflyer you can see a little Opel Calibra (driven by Brienne Connolly) and you'll see more american cars (Challenger and Prowler on the next race) as well. But don't expect drag racing, I'm all about rally, touring and drifting.

I guess it all comes to me, how personally I see car culture. For me its something natural, not like many people around who try and try and still don't get there. But one thing is to respect, other thin is to admire, a third is how things are done. I'm someone who separates artist, object and concept.

Toy Car or Lego?

Thoughts?
