Review of Street Racer

Street Racer (2008 Video)
1/10
An insulting low budget after school special.
5 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was horrible. The voice acting sounded dubbed. The sound effects were completely fake. The graphics are way off. For example wrecked cars are reused later in working order. The Montero in the beginning of the film is obviously swapped right before the crash scene. It even looked like it was poorly spray painted to match the paint. Plus the back window was broken, the hood is all popped up and the bumpers are missing before the Mazda even hit it. Oh and that Mazda I was just talking about. It was reused after hitting the Montero. The bar scene after Johnny meets up with the mechanic at the salvage yard. As it's panning the lot there is the same exact car sitting in the lot with some guy standing in front of it. Coincidence? IT HAS THE SAME FRONT PLATES! 5yhf498, Match them up with the first racing scene and the lot. Also the Yellow S2000 hit the corrupt guy black-nailing Johnny, you see the same car 3 seconds later undamaged, parked, with the driver running over to get in it. He just hit a guy racing and now he's suddenly not in the car with it parked undamaged? I don't know if the director thinks your stupid or what but I find this down right insulting. Not even changing the plate? It's 2 screws! The story was unbelievable and not in the good sense of the word. The movie does show the dangers of street racing and corruptions at the highest level but the movie is so poorly done it's insulting. I felt like I was watching a low budget after school special. Preachy, preachy, unexciting, preachy, preachy. That's how this movie goes. I've yet to see a street racer movie that was above a 7 but this is not even close to that ball park. This is easily the only movie you'll ever see with a new release sticker in the $.99 bin. I did find some of the chop shop owner's one liners funny but that's about it. Still, stay away from this extremely poorly made movie.
