So a friend of mine does the special effects on this movie and they were working near lake Powell and it involves a train motified stingray Corvette. The scene I saw had stunt men for vinn and Paul walker stealling cars off a train and getting them onto a flatbed truck. Next I saw them launching the vette over the train. Ill try to steal some footage but no promises

Stole my thought.

I was just watching the 4th installment on HBO a couple of nights ago. There's a sequence when Vin shoots at some tires with a shotgun and the vehicles flip ass-over... what was he shooting, grenades?

Give me realistic action. It doesn't need to be over the top.

LOL, Probably bothers you as much as most actors wielding a shot gun bother me.

It was. It was about as hard as concrete. I think it had alot of dried clay in it, but the point is still there.

just come to NW ohio, the great black swamp, when drained took all the good dirt n left nasty hard clay.

gets so hard n dry it cracks up, inches wide and miles deep it seems at time, you can stick a running hose in one and never see water build up. Yes grass still grows.

you could do a burn out and never get but maybe a 2-3in shallow spot n burn the tires till they pop.

though mid winter or flood season you will sink to your axles with out even trying.

I'm not going to lie, 3 is almost my favorite, and also because of principal: It used the least amount of computer generated effects, and the most amount of actual bad ass stunt driving. The plot/story/characters...meh, but that's not what the movie is for anyways.

Edit - IMDB has the release date as June 10, 2011.

Go watch The World Is Not Enough and explain to me how, in the opening boat chase scene, a boat can make squeeling noises in the water. Listen to the sound effects closely when he makes a sudden maneuver...
