«Transformers» movie is a Hollywood sequel that gained lots of critics and negative reviews. “The movie made by a thirteen year old boy for other thirteen year old boys” – is just a tiny part of what you can hear about it. But in spite of that both parts have got tremendous budgets attracting visitors by effects, action scenes and cars. The obvious thing is that it really is amazing how all the car accessories move as the transformations take place. Some parts turn and move back so the next parts can go there just to move away again and fold in under other parts to get hidden. On the emotional side these robots displays tremendous emotion to the humans and one another. Bragging, showing off, protectiveness over the humans and sacrifice is not actually something you would expect from these big guys.

Speaking about budgets the first part involved $ 150 millions and the second one took $200 millions. Effect and vehicles play the central role. Many of the new Autobot cars supplied by General Motors were brightly colored to look distinctive on screen. Among them we can mention Peterbilt truck, Chevrolet Trax, Chevrolet Beat, GMC Topkick,  Hummer H2, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept, Chevrolet Volt and of cause  fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.

The appearance of new Camaro in the movie is a promotional action made by GM in order to introduce the audience with their new muscle car. Here The 2010 Chevy Camaro looks to be like a breath of fresh air in the US automobile industry. With a hurricane of publicity around this model, not the least of which was a staring role in the blockbuster movie “Transformers,” the excitement level is sky high. With some Chevy Accessories added to transform the muscle car into a Robot, Camaro deserves to be the most favorite character of the movie. Following the trend of car makers looking back to revive popular past models the 2010 Camaro could prove to be the very best of the “Reborn Muscle Car Movement.” Looking at the newest Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger we can see that the public’s appetite for nostalgia is strong.

Awesome Transformer by GM

The Matrix Reloaded is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most influential, admired and popular movies. It is an elaborately choreographed, rigorously stylized science-fiction epic rife with cool heroes, intriguing villains and eye-widening action set pieces that show us the money in no uncertain terms. Without the newness of the concept as a lure, “Reloaded” increasingly relies on elaborate action and new villains to keep us interested. On the combat side, there is a stirring battle involving cars especially Cadillac ones, trucks, motorcycles and martial arts on a replica of the Harbor Freeway, built at no small expense in Northern California (the real one is kinda busy). Also on tap is a much-talked-about scene where Neo takes on something like a hundred replicas of scheming Agent Smith.

GM donated 300 cars for use in the production of the movie. All 300 were wrecked by the end. Because the twins’ Cadillac Escalade EXT was not in production at the time of the movie’s filming, General Motors had to graft together fiberglass Cadillac Accessories with prototype Chevrolet Avalanche pickup trucks, to create the black truck seen in the freeway chase. The Lincoln Continental from The Matrix (1999) makes a brief cameo appearance toward the beginning of the film. The underground garage where the characters select a car is populated with all Cadillacs, including a classic 1950s El Dorado and prototype of the 2004 XLR.

Cadillac Spoiler – Matrix Reloaded:

Besides Cadillac the movie is full of pieces from other America Cars like:

Buick Accessories – Buick Century, Buick LeSabre, Buick Park Avenue and Buick Regal were all crashed into pieces.

Oldsmobile Accessories – Silhouette, Alero, Aurora and Intrigue has shown up as well.

The Fast and the Furious sequel is a contemporary series of films about street racing, which can be hardly called a deep-thinking cinema, but is in no way lessened because of that. Full of high-octane street racing scenes and plenty of automotive eye-candy, the excitement rarely lets up. Every Episode of Fast & Furious is what you would expect from the car franchise – lots of racing and custom cars to get all you gear-heads out there excited. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, which is provide realistic, exciting car races, chases and crashes. After sitting through a seemingly endless steam of inept comedies and pretentious action movies, it’s refreshing to see a production so unrepentantly cheesy. The movie simply is what it is, an instantly forgettable diversion for those in the mood for cheap thrills, swaggering men, bad girls and melodrama as aggressive as it is dumb.

Speaking about those movie we can’t but mention the cars, which were shown there. As only nicely done custom rides make thousand of car fans watch the movie.

The Fast and the Furious claims to take us inside the underworld of illegal street racing. In the first part the main character has a task to filter local street racing bands, suspected to be the origin of a string of high-speed truck hijackings perpetrated on a trio of black Honda Civics. The cars in that movie really strike up the minds. Here is the list of the most vivid ones:

• Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2G DSM
• Honda Civic Coupe 1.6 VTI Turbo
• Mazda RX7 FD3S
• Honda S2000
• Nissan Skyline GT-R R33
• Toyota Supra
• Acura Integra
• Ford SVT Lightning
• Ferrari F355
• Volkswagen Jetta GLX

Japan Cars were represented by almost all main car brands available today. Really those rides can be nicely adopted for racings as car accessories for Japan vehicles are widely spread.

But the coolest for major watchers was Dodge Charger R/T with thousands of Dodge Accessories that let the car to be the fastest one.

Dodge Charger

This is a film about cars and street racing at the end of the day, and in that sense it doesn’t disappoint. This is a movie to be seen and occasionally heard. If you like cars, that is.

A used chassis gets a new supercharged engine in “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.” Pumping high-performance gas back into the series after a second lap sputter, third entry stays in high gear most of the way with several exhilarating racing sequences, and benefits greatly from the evocative Japanese setting. As what’s on screen amply reflects the title, franchise fan base looks to be well satisfied, meaning domestic take shouldn’t be far off the $144 million and $127 million raked in respectively by the initial entries.

“The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” delivers all the races and crashes you could possibly desire, and a little more. The movie is not exactly “Shogun” when it comes to the subject of an American in Japan. But it’s more observant than we expect, and uses its Japanese locations to make the story about something more than fast cars. Eye-popping driving sequences coupled with a limp story and flat performances make this Drift an adequate follow-up to the previous Fast and Furious installments. Strictly for the racing crowd and fans of the first two films.

The more than 200 cars built for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift weren’t optimized to generate impressive acceleration numbers or grip the skid pad with record stickiness, but to perform specific stunts or to reflect specific elements in the film’s story. For a great number of cars in the film, that meant drifting.

• 1967 Ford Mustang
• Twin-Turbo Nissan 350Z
• Mazda RX-7
• Mitsubishi Evo IX
• 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
• Toyota Chaser
• Mazda RX-8

Speaking about Ford Accessories which were used to make Mustang drift we can spend a day to list them all. To mention a couple: the car has 245/35R19 front and 275/35R19 rear Toyo Proxes T1R tires and Volk Racing Grey GT-7 wheels keeping them off the ground. The V8 Tokyo Drift Mustangs has an output of 375 hp and can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and consumed the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds at 96.7 mph.

A true star of drifting in the movie was Nissan Silvia. The coolest thing about the Furious Silvia is the near stock-looking C-West DRFT aero kit. The exterior touches include Modern Image graphics, a C-West-supplied GT wing and a set of Ganador mirrors. The wheels get a visual upgrade in the form of some 19-inch Volk GT-7 rims wrapped in Toyo Proxes TR1 tires. Nissan Accessories are excellent solutions to make a Drifting King from your ride.

The World Is Not Enough is the nineteenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the third to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. When it comes to Bond films, there’s really only one question: Does it entertain for the entire running length? For The World Is Not Enough, as for the previous two endeavors with Brosnan, the answer is “yes.”

The World Is Not Enough contains the usual array of eye-popping action sequences. The first, preceding the opening credits, features a boat chase capped off by a hot air balloon ride that ends with a bang. Later, there’s a high-tension ski chase that has Bond attacked from both land and sky (it seems that nearly every Bond movie gives the hero a chance to play in the snow). Then there’s a race through an oil pipeline (something that hasn’t been done before), some action in a submarine (another Bond staple), and a nicely-executed piece where Bond is the target of two helicopters armed with multiple, oversized buzzsaws. In terms of genuine suspense, The World Is Not Enough is a cut below Tomorrow Never Dies – but only a tiny cut. Speaking about Bond we certainly should mention his car.

The BMW Z8 driven by Bond in the film was the final part of a three-movie product placement deal with BMW (which began with the Z3 in GoldenEye and continued with the 750iL in Tomorrow Never Dies) but, due to filming preceding release of the Z8 by a few months, several working mock-ups and models were manufactured for filming purposes. The only difference is that he has changed Aston Martin passion for a BMW vehicles. The BMW Z8 didn’t see much action in the movie, and met it’s demise at the blades of one of the helicopters. The Z8 was introduced at MI6 headquarters, drove through the oil fields, and saw combat action on the docks outside of caviar factory beside the Caspian Sea outside of Baku. As the Z8 is being sawed in half, Bond remarks: “Q’s not going to like this!”. The Z8 was equipped with BMW Accessories like two retractable, side-mounted Surface-to-Air Missile Launchers hidden behind the forward side fender cooling vents, remote control capability, and, amazingly, “six beverage cup holders”. The Beamer is loaded with all the usual Q refinements including titanium plating and armor, an infra-red tracking system amd a high-sensitivity listening.

The Transporter series has always lived in a world of ludicrous contrivances. The stories never make much sense and the action is usually so unreal that it becomes laughable. Transporter 3 seems like it should be doing the same, but instead wastes endless minutes of precious screen time desperately trying to explain the inexplicable, trying to convince us this is a logical, sensible action film while at the same time inventing completely random reasons for Jason Statham to take his shirt off. Transporter 3 gets some points for a few cleverly handled action sequences, but the romantic subplot ultimately undermine the film.

If there’s anything good to be said for Transporter 3 it’s that at least, for once, Jason Statham’s Frank Martin character is actually transporting something on his Audi A8. In theory Martin is a professional driver, a man of precision who will transport high-value cargo from point A to point B, without asking in questions. For the third film they’ve almost succeeded by tying Frank Martin to wheel of his car with an explosive bracelet that will detonate should the Transporter venture more than 100 feet from his beloved vehicle. As his primary mode of transport, Frank Martin drives a luxurious and dynamic Audi A8 W12. Across all the sequel cars is a vital part of main characters life as an automobile allows him to life in wealth and richness.

Of cause AUDI AG knew that lots of movie goers will see the film and they’ve considered it as the best promotion for the Audi Vehicles. Audi A8 has represented well the brand as a car that will easily start its engine even after trapping into the river. Audi Accessories and options allowed to adopt the ride for the hero’s needs. The car handles superbly for its size, while pampering occupants with a very smooth ride. Innovative driving tech includes lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control. The refrigerator just hits it over the top. The Bang & Olufsen audio system delivers exceptional audio quality in the 2008 Audi A8 L, and Bluetooth phone integration is excellent.

You may argue that Transporter sequel is movie with low quality plot. It is true and the only part that was really cool is a car.

Luxury A8

Buick is a pretty old brand and it is not surprise that cars by GM subbrand appear in various movies. One of them is Revolutionary Road with Leonardo Dicaprio & Kate Winslet. There is a lot of jittery cigarette smoking and sloshed-down booze in “Revolutionary Road,” a waxworks edition of the corrosive, furiously unsentimental novel by Richard Yates about an unhappy marriage. Fantasies about what Frank calls his “own exceptional merit” haunt the couple, a delusion they cling to like a lifeline and that registers as mutual neurosis and a symptom of some vague, larger social ill. This gorgeous young pair has all the trappings of the 1950s American dream – two smiley-toothed children, smart Connecticut house with trimmed lawn and the 1954 Buick Super parked out front.

The Buick Super enjoyed two short production periods, from 1940 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1958 and for these fleeting spells was considered a top vehicle for a top brand, Buick being the luxury name at General Motors. There were quirky features that stood it apart from the competition, such as automatic transmission that didn’t require gear changing, a split rear windshield and a radio antenna controlled from within the car, but by 1959 it was the end for this front engine rear wheel drive beauty, replaced by the Electra.

Buick has popped up in a number of films over the years in old school classics like House M.D., Spider Man, The Maltese Falcon and Sunset Boulevard and more modern fare like Pearl Harbor and Back to the Future; however the 1954 model is less visible, with just the odd big screen outing including Ed Wood. Making its appearance in Revolutionary Road all the more special for vintage car lovers.
