The plot was nonexistant, the acting sucked, but really, I think most people that go and see this movie aren't looking for that, atleast I wasn't. I just wanted to see a movie that concentrated on Asian women, and modified rice rockets. Unfortunately, the movie did not have enough Asian women in it, then again when I goto Hot Import Nights I'll get my fix(for a few nights). However the cars were pretty cool, but completely laughable. I'd love to have any of those cars, but you'd never show up with one of those to a street drag.
For one, the Viper, the price alone of the car puts it out of midnight club contention. Plus only a idiot would put that kinda sound system in his dragster, your talking to somebody that'd rip the insulation out of the doors to save weight.
Then there is the Eclipse, LOL. Among other problems, I've seen guys hook up laptops to there racers when they are dyno testing them, but not during a race! Plus the two HUGE NOS tanks he had in that car were absurd, what would have really made the movie funny was a scene of him warming up the tanks with a blow torch before the race!!! With that much NOS and due to the fact it was presumed that this was his first encounter with adding laughing gas to his ride, when he overenriched the engine in real life he probably would have his pistons rocketing through his hood!!! Plus, he would have fucked the delivery system and wouldn't have been able to use the second shot during the cop chase scene. In fact, in real life he'd be running on foot his car would be so fucked!!!
Plus, the race scenes were incredibly long. In real life a drag is really short, depending on your car, less than 10 seconds. However in the movie, it seemed they decided a mile or two strip would be much better judging from how long the races lasted!!!
But nonetheless, the race scenes were pretty cool, as were the cars, as were the few Asian women that once in a while cameoed in the background.
