Posted October 15, 200519 yr comment_141798 2Fast/2Furious was on TV recently, and I watched most of it. I noticed they had a video screen on the one car the cop-guy was driving? Action went too fast to get a good look.Did anybody get a good look at what all there was on those cars?thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17621-dashboard-stuff-on-2fast2furious-cars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 15, 200519 yr comment_141802 Probably movie magic, nothing special. Could be an LCD screen hooked up to a stand alone engine manegement system. Honestly, even if it was, I wouldn't want that kind of distraction on my dashboard while I drive.

October 15, 200519 yr Author comment_141814 The first shot of the dash was in the beginning race thing. Thre girl with the pink convertable (Suki) had a monitor that has a characature of herself with her name (real useful while racing).There was a shot of the screen with some bargraphs showing engine stats while the forked thing- ESD, "Electrical System Disabler" was zapping the car (helicopter chase scene near the end).

October 15, 200519 yr comment_141822 I was too busy looking at Suki, and the cars, to be bothered by LCD screens showing fake technical readings of vague acronyms for things that dont exist !

October 15, 200519 yr Author comment_141825 With all that extra junk (screens, neon lights under the car) how do they manage to go fast any way? Movie special effects?

October 16, 200519 yr comment_141959 Just movie crap. Some CG company gets paid to make a video they can play on the screen to make it look like somethings happening. Same as in movies when the actor is using a computer. The randomly press buttons on the keyboard, never press enter, and the the screen keeps changing like they are actually going something. Swordfish is a good example of how crap and unrealistic it looks.

October 16, 200519 yr comment_141968 Swordfish was brilliant! One of the best comedy flicks I've seen. The Tuscan was to die for too Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17621-dashboard-stuff-on-2fast2furious-cars/#findComment-141968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 16, 200519 yr comment_141993 Personally, I hated the fast and the furious movies, I thought they were horrible. Just my opinion. Swordfish on the other hand, I thought was a great film Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17621-dashboard-stuff-on-2fast2furious-cars/#findComment-141993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
