Torque (2004)

Really? REALLY?

Warning: Spoilers
Warning! Spoilers ahead! They ride their sport-bikes through the desert, or at least that what the producers (and *very* unsuccessfully, I might add) want you to think they did. Which tells me that the producers think the audience are a bunch of idiots.

There are two skinny girls *fighting* with their bikes, making the impression that the bikes weigh about 10 pounds each. Words escape me.

Bikes on a train? Wheelies between the seats? Really?

High speed driving without helmets? Again, really? You know that fly that hit your eye in 130 mph? And burst your eyeball? Good luck with all that.

As for the ending, with a jet-bike in city traffic, there are no words for how moronic that was.

To top it off: Fat-boy Ice-cube on a bike? Really? REALLY? I don't think so. At best he could drive a 15hp chopper around town in about 20 mph so all his "bling-bling" won't fall off. Be careful to not get that too-long basketball-shirt, or the shoelaces from your untied shoes, stuck in the chain. It wouldn't be pretty. And the rest of his "cool-boy rapper-biker-gang" was just as believable as that 300mph-through-city-traffic-wearing-no-helmet ending.

This is just another example of what's wrong with todays "movies". Who cares about realism and a plot, as long as it's "cool" and "awesome", and the actors curses a lot and makes degrading comments about women, and wears a lot of "bling-bling". It's not even bad, it's not even laughable, but it sure brings on a whole new level of stupid. What a waste of money, time and resources.
