Torque: The Movie
ORIGINAL: TEN
Apparently there is a pretty sweet sportbike movie out. I think it is called "Faster". I haven't seen it but it is supoosed to be pretty much dedicated to the sportbike world, specifically track racing.

That's not a "movie" per-se, it's more of a documentary about racing. I haven't gotten a chance to check it out myself, but that's what I've heard.
Biker Boyz and Torque are a skid mark on the underpants of the sportbiking community.
Fortunately for me I didn't actually spend the $$ to go see them in the theater, I would have demanded my money back. I still should've have gotten my $4 back from Blockbuster for watching either POS movie.
If you're going to do a movie about bikes or cars you can make up all the B.S. but leave the CGI out of it. I can handle the scenes where they're bumping in the canyons and all that crap because even though I know it couldn't ever happen it is "somewhat" realistic and there are actually bikes there. I just can't handle when they CGI everything like the last sequence where he can hardly catch the cruiser on his jet-bike and then does the triple-lundy off the ramp while trailing fire a bullet hole in the gas tank.

Same situation with the remake of Gone In 60 Seconds. I loved the whole movie and especially the last chase with Eleanore right up until they "flew" it over all the traffic. Everything else was done with a real car until that last part, and it ruined the whole thing for me.
I MUST AGREE WITH THE ABOVE. I HEARED ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT! WENT HOME AND WATCHED IT AND FELT DISGUSTED. HOW MANY KIDS WATCHED THAT MOVIE AND DECIDED THEY WANTED A BIKE BASED ON FALSITIES. LIKE FAST AND THE FURIOUS WITH THE FLAMES AND ALL THAT. AFTER THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO HAVE A RICE BURNER WITH A FIN AND A FAKE NOS SET UP. WTF? I SAY WE ALL WRITE A TRUE-TO-LIFE SPORTBIKE MOVIE SCRIPT AND PITCH IT TO SOMEONE.[sm=headbang.gif]
Hmmm what are these movies you speak of? Depicting the tail of a spirited rider and his clan. From the sounds the facts have been distorted? Was it a 180 nose spin in the dirt and palm trees while firing multiple shots from a 9mm? Or perhaps the amount of times someone simply blew up your ride and they said "Damn, I need a bike." and the next scene you were riding again? The fire racing up the road, the jet bike barely catching the harley, Hell I preferred the motorcycle scene in Charlies Angels 2 on the dirt bike track as compared to both of these jewels! [8D] And its amazing because the only ones who thought the movie sucked was bikers. And people ask where other bad images of us come from......?
I liked them both even though that aint my style of riding. At least they tried. Ive learned to accept the conception most people have of sportbikes and their riders. Their opinions will never change unless they actually own a bike.
