I'm pretty sure the same to be said about almost any movie involving cars and explosions so consider me unconvinced.
I do know that you really have to be borderline Jewish to think that Furious 7 isn't made specifically for the retarded though.
If you think this car series was bad .... I saw someone posted a list of Sylvester Stallone movies (could never replace Bruce Willis and play in the Die Hard series) and he listed Death Race 2000 and I don't remember seeing it , so I downloaded it and started watching it. After 15min into the movie , not only did I turn it off , I couldn't deleted it fast enough . Now that was un adulterated shit!!
It is 20min (including the download) of life I will never get back.

What do you expect? This film was made in the 70's long before CGI and other special effects were ever conceived. Look at the original Mad Max. No super camera angles there. They simply speeded up the film slightly to enhance the fast speeds those cars were already doing.
The trouble is that kids today expect so much for so little, and when they have to do a little bit of work, they moan like crazy. Whatever happened to sweat and toil?

I have a feeling that someone doesn't realize that it was a satire.
Hopefully someone will tell me that Furious 7 is also a satire and that no one is suppose to actually buy into the fact that two high powered sports cars can crash head-on into each other at speed and no one suffers even a stretch.
Or that downtown Los Angeles is apparently unpopulated.:mellow:

Satire is always an iffy proposition as it's a delicate balance of fact and absurdity.Tends to be more off-putting than entertaining.

The budget for that one was limited. The director had to total his own car for one of the chase scenes.

You are not comparing Mad Max (cant watch anymore because of the Star in the movie) , and Stallone's movie?? The Batman tv series with Adam West had way better special affects. The first action scene Stalllone has a Giant ass sword connected to his front bumper , and when he runs into a guy , and they used a can of spray paint on his crotch for blood effects. They could have gotten a low budget horror special effects guy , that could have done a way better job on special effects. Even Dirty Harry series with Clint Eastwood had amazing effects when someone got shot , or blown up.
Mad Max special effects were raw , but it still flowed and was much more entertaining to watch ( when I could , now I choose not too).
Re: Will anyone ever attain 10K posts again?
Yes, but it wasn't Stallone's movie, was it. It was Caradine's movie, because Stallone wasn't even famous when he was in DR2000. It was one of those, 'before they were famous', moments.

If you look at it that way , Yes , you would be right. So I can say that is not one of the best Caradine's movies then. He defiantly had way better flicks to watch with him in it.
All and all... Other than the concept of the movie being used for new updated versions , I don't need to waste space on my server , it would never be watched in full.
