Mockbuster Mockery: Street Racer Review

Title: Mockbuster Mockery: Street Racer Review

Description: Fast cars, slutty broads, loud music — what's there not to like about this cheap-ass Asylum "Fast & Furious" wannabe? A lot actually...

Creator's Comments: Still following Dave's irrefragable guidelines, I once again concentrated all of my efforts on pointing out all the plot holes, inconsistencies, moronic character traits, and — most importantly — technical flaws (special effects, stuns, props, etc.). There's also a little bit about my attitude towards racing films in general (you know, making fun out of mockbusters and providing an insightful outlook on the entire film industry at the same time, remember?).

Plus, I'm still experimenting with the rapid images delivery and the sound effects department, but trust me when I say that I will never, never repeat the same mistake as I did with my 'The Da Vinci Treasure' review (i.e., 75% faffing about, 25% actual critique).

Enjoy!

P.S. Keep close attention to something around 3:18, 'cos there's a little present for you there, Kenny! You'll see

Awesome video, as expected but a ton of of the jokes were the best you've ever written. For example: "I doubt any of the presented in the film cars even made it up to ninety at any point; partly cos the creators were afraid of accidentally sending their actors back to 1955"

Also, you have a keen eye for detail by catching the fact that not only were the cars reused but they had the exact same license plates.

Another insightful and funny Mockbuster Mockery?
Would I have expected less?

Well, the least I can do to compensate for such long waiting periods is to polish each and every aspect of my videos (i.e., writing, jokes, editing, sound, etc.) with each new episode, but I shouldn't be talking about that, since we've already had the 'Quantity Vs. Quality' discussion in the Suburban Knights thread!

As for noticing even the smallest details, trust me, it simply can't be helped. You see, the moment I loose interest in the film's plot (usually 'cos it's just either doesn't make any sense or is way too predictable like in the case with "Street Racer"), I instantly start looking for plot holes, inconsistencies, goofs, errors, and etc., 'cos — let's face it — what is there left to talk about?

Also, it seems like some of my YouTube 'fans' (I say 'fans' 'cos they usually remember about me when a new episode comes out, and, even then, they only nag me to review those cheap-ass Brazilian Dreamworks rip-offs like "The Little Cars in the Great Race" or "Ratatoing") have taken issue to how I only review Asylum films and how they're 'concerned' it might become my obsession (no comments...)

So I wanted to ask whether you lads would be interested in seeing other, non-Asylum made mockbusters being ripped a new one in my show or not. After all, it shouldn't necessarily be those obnoxious cartoons: there's also such outstanding and superb masterpieces like Jungle Raiders (Indiana Jones rip-off) and Zombie 3 (a cheap-ass knock-off of George Romero's films).

P.S. Any other suggestions about the latest review? Kenny? Dave? ONOE?

-too busy studying for the LSAT to watch at the moment, OH GOD-

I say go for it. A mockbuster is the theme of your series, but I'm sure the Asylum doesn't hold a monopoly on mockbusters. I would encourage doing both the good and the bad, but since your ass-rippings are hilarious and more entertaining than a mockbuster that you enjoyed (6 Guns), I'd probably stick with the bad mockbusters for the sake of entertainment value?

Actually, they kind of do (starting from 2005 at least...) Still, there are some interesting non-Asylum specimen out there too. Like this beautiful Iron Man rip-off or this half-assed 're-imagining' of Moby-Dick only with Dragons that — much to my surprise — stars Danny Motherfucking Glover!

So, as you can see, there's still pretty much a lot to choose from, so I suppose such a scheme might even potentially work (I still don't want to deal with those obnoxious Brazilian cartoons, 'cos the trailer for "Little Cars" alone gave my a massive headache...


Take your time, mate! Education always comes before silly Internet videos!


(Now you know, and knowing is half of the bat... Shudup! )

Although I wish that you could thrash the real Fast and Furious movies this video review is just as satisfying. I despise street racing, street racers, and street racing movies because the truth of the matter is that the large majority of street racers are twenty something year olds who are willing to invest a ridiculous amount of money into their sport and often still live with their mothers. Those who can afford to live away from their parents and finance their cars usually come from families with large trust funds and fathers with deep pockets. It's so infuriating when a cute boy with a nice car is revealed to be a leech at the end of a parent's tit.

I haven't seen Street Racer and I won't ever but I don't understand how the street racer's victim can operate a kart with such mangled feet?

If you are asking if we liked the short animation of the racer running over the little granny then I can tell you that I loved it. That and the image of meanwhile in Sweden which I had to rewatch because it was so wonderfully silly.

That reminds me of the pre-movie features I used to watch at the Milton movie theater (Yes, the exact same movie theater Rudy (Mr Action) from The Dirty Do Gooders, Episode 1, Part 1 and 2 works at). Some friends and I were watching a Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift featurette about street racing. The movie theater was packed and everyone's watching these pretty damn cool cars being showed off and there's people being interviewed. It came to one Hispanic racer and they asked him about his car.

"I spent $50,000 on my car and I still live with my mom."

I shouted out at the top of my lungs: "HO HO!! WINNER!!!"

I feel your pain, B4B, but as far as car hobbies go, I give respect to people who restore classic cars over those who trick out rice burners anyday.

@Bound4Blades
Fact is, Street Racers (as well as wiggers, gangstas, hipsters, jocks, military nerds) are just that — nerds. They might think that just 'cos they spend their entire days in the gym trying to hide all of their complexes under that rock of muscles, or (to provide a much more closer to the topic of street racing example) throw away $50,000 on some fugly bumping low-rider instead of, say, buying a deluxe edition Master Chief helmet or a Japanese love-pillow with their favorite anime character that that automatically makes them more manly or badass, but, in reality, it doesn't. It just means that they're the same socially-inept, hopeless shut-ins who are obviously trying to overcompensate for something... Well, you saw the review, you know my stand on all of this!

See, it's one thing to have a passion for something (i.e., like most of us do for movies, video games, or, hell, even collecting, say, old sport cars or weaponry like LaughingMan suggested); however, when you're read to basically flush away all the money you could've spent on food, shelter, kids on some completely nonsensical and — lest we forget — dangerous activity, sorry, but you're obsessed, pal.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments, my good miss!

FINE! I will get rid of the pillow.
