saw it again
ending is still totally awesome, i could have gone for a more in-depth one but what they had fit very, very well
han is barely in it
letty is barely in it (LOL)
mia is barely in it and has my favorite car of the movie. wtf
also, i'm noticing that ALL the cars were really boring, nothing crazy. no interesting imports at all (sorry brian. why is the interior painted red anyway? at any rate there's not much you could do with a subaru station wagon to make it not gay). in one scene they're flipping cars in the desert and it's like 80's crown vics and shit nobody cares about. what?
why is there only one street race in this street racing movie
how did they know about Gran Torino far enough in advance to have the same one
when they make crash cars, why don't they just put an empty gas tank on the bottom of the car? why is there always no gas tank? and where was the subie's driveshaft?
this movie killed like a billion dollars' worth of muscle cars. how many F-Bomb doubles did they have?
the theater was sold out for all showings, when we sat down we left an open seat on either side of the group as people do. this old homeless looking guy comes stumbling in, midnight show mind you. sits down next to my buddy and keeps making weird faces and stuff. both times vin diesel does a wheelie, he yelled "AMERICAN MUSCLE". and then he clapped to the beat of the closing credits

While I'm still obligated not to reveal any plot points, I can tell you that the real F-Bomb is not in the movie, though you might see the engine and you will hear the car's actual engine and tires in action. The production company built eight clones of the car, none of which escaped unscathed. I've got a set of fenders from one that survived enough that the sheetmetal is still somewhat recognizable as having at one time been fenders. So, yeah, a bunch of cars got destroyed. However, I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that there wasn't a single donor car that you would have paid $500 for. Most of them were total junk when our pals at the movie-car barn started to Bondo-form them back into the shape of a '73 Camaro.
