roars fit to wake the dead and they're barely restrainable as they rev up on the asphalt--and that's just the presenters. Oh yeah, there's a bunch of cars, too, not to mention some boats and planes and ice-racing and stuff. The BBC'sTop Gearis of course the grandmother of all motoring programmes and here the irrepressible Tiff Needell tries out some formidable cars from TVR, BMW, Ferrari, Nissan, Subaru, Porsche, Jaguar, Aston Martin (the latter still oozing panache) and others, while the honorary-lad-of-the-type-we-can-never-resist Vicki Butler-Henderson gets to deliver a monologue on the refurbishment of fighter planes--except she does it from the cockpit in mid-flight in a kind of well-bred shout. The cars are, supposedly, all production models (a "production" F1 McLaren?!), although a production car with a dial on the dashboard which measures acceleration in gravities--yes, a G-force meter!--is probably not coming soon to that dealership near you. The closest the tests get to practicality is the checking of the boot space to see if it'll accommodate a golf bag, which is exactly as it should be in this fun-packed homage to total fantasy motoring.--Roger Thomas

DVD Description
The sequel to the racing smash THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS may not have Vin Diesel as its star, but it burns with even higher octane than its predecessor, and a lot less extraneous drama. Back in action is undercover cop Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) whose career has hit the skids since he let Diesel's character escape at the last film's end. He has sunk in status and is now a fringe dweller on the Miami street racing scene. A chance at redemption arrives when the fuzz recruits him to investigate Carter Vellone (Cole Hauser), a top-dog street racer with dangerous drug connections. O'Connor recruits his bickering childhood pal (model/singer Tyrese), now a nitro-burning ex-con from the Diesel school of toughness, to help him pull the bad guys to the curb with a tyre-spinning vengeance. John Singleton (BOYZ IN THE HOOD, HIGHER LEARNING) directed, and obviously had great fun delivering, a straight-up racing thriller that's free of the message-bearing pressure of being a \"John Singleton film.\" 2 FAST fairly roars off the screen with comic book exuberance and a cheerful disregard for anything that gets in the way of its forward momentum. Best of all is Tyrese, a natural, laid-back star--he's not afraid to poke fun at his own shirtless model-boy image and amply compensates for the mighty Vin's absence. Rapper Ludacriss is also memorable as O'Connor's mechanic, as is model Devon Akoi as a cute female racer.
Advantages: Gives you a clear idea of what the real street racing culture is like from the cars they drive, to the beautiful women. Disadvantages: Although a follow on from The Fast and The Furious the only part from the film that refers back to the original is a prelude at the start of the film.
...2fast2furious is a film for the adrenaline-fuelled people out there who just love a good action film. Following on from The Fast and The Furious the film takes Brian (the cop from the Fast and The Furious) to the streets of Miami, where he becomes a well known street racer know as Bullet. From the last film Brian was a cop and in the ending moments of the film he lets his man go and hangs up his badge, making him now wanted by the police. As he is now wanted he needs to watch his back and after some racing has been taken place he is taken in by the police and now needs to do a job for the police to clear his record and invites his friend to help him. The two go through a series of events when the job takes a turn that is not planned and both of thier lives are put a risk. The job goes wrong and when an undercover agent is taken away...

Advantages: Nice cars, nice girls. Disadvantages: Same old sotry
...Being a "Boy Racer" the original The Fast and The Furious was an awe inspiring film, sweet cars, colourful paintwork and lots of chrome. I was eagerly anticipating the release of 2Fast2Furious. The hype was there, original cast member Paul Walker was present, but no Vin Diesel, the "god like" figure from the original. There was some real action in the film, the character of Roman Pearce palays by Tyresse added a slightly comical angle. The soundtrack was real good, Ludacris providing some real goor tunes, which do suit the mood of the film. Overall the plot was a bit predictive. The two lead characters would come out on top. Possibly the worst part about the film was the car jump to boat at the end. Slightly 70s Dukes of Hazzard style. Basically didnt cut the mustard. Other than that an OK film if you wast to look at sweet cars...

He gets teamed up to help the georgeous Monica Fuentes track down a really shady Miami buisnessman.
