Default TORQUE

Yeah I'm askin about the opinions of the guys who have two wheels under their crotch..Any of you seen the movie TORQUE yet, if so what are the mixed feelings upon it? I've only seen the trailor to it and looks pretty damn good, the director Joseph Khan is usually directing Britney Spears and pop videos on MTV and I like his work in that department so I might as well see it this weekend..

What about the tricks in the movie, have any of you got the ***** to do any of the stunts?

I have seen the movie and it sucked so bad, that I wanted to go to the customer service desk and the theater and ask for a refund. I also want to create a website and pay for advertising for the site, warning people about how bad it sucked.

I slept through the remaining 30 minutes of the movie. While I was awake I kept asking the people I was with if they were ready to leave yet. Also, the theater capacity was probably about 350, however, there were only about 15 people in the entire theater room that the movie was shown in; you could come in after the movie started and still sit wherever you wanted.

I know I have not said much of anything about the movie, but I just don't want to invest the time in being specifically objective about this poor excuse for an attempt at entertainment.

I paid for and enjoyed the <U>"MOVIE."</U>

Sometimes I find myself way to critical with my head so far up my ***. Then I realized, hey this is just a movie made to entertain. Sure there were some spectacular(fake) stunts on it, but hey I bet alot of NASA Scientist thought Armageddon sucked, or a bunch of SWAT Members thought that SWAT sucked, or alot of SEAL team members thought Tears of Sun sucked. But hey what do I know, I'm not an elistist like some people.

I give the movie a solid 4 stars, I enjoyed it. That's why I go to movies. If I wanted a documentary I would go watch a documentary not a movie.

For people that don't know any better, they think riders really do things like that. Gives us a bad name.

There were not really any fake stunts in biker boyz that I can think of though, I dont see why people dont like that movie, the only stupid thing was having the LAST RACE in the dirt...but other than that it was alright.

Torque on the other hand..... I dont even think they used one real stunt rider to do any of the tricks, they all looked like computer animations

There are some really talanted riders out there, just check out this video for an example http://www.onewheelup.com/videos/saturdaystunn.wmv

Actually there were no fake stunts in biker boyz. If you get a chance to check out any stunt videos, my friend did all the stunts for the lead character in biker boyz. His name is J.T. Holt, check out Full Leather Jacket for more of him

i agree.

this movie was produced (or something like that) by the same guy that did 2f2f... so what do you expect?

imo, i was the 2f2f of bikes.

i went to see it with about 17 other guys that i ride with, we ent for fun, but i was still dissapointed when it was over.
$7 and 2 hours of my life that i will never be able to get back.


either download it or wait till your friend buys it and boorow it.

Now Biker Boyz was at least real stunts. I would actually buy Biker Boyz. I wouldn't call it the best movie ever, I would take a stunt movie over it any day. Torque was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. 90% of the movie was computer generated. I'm just glad I didn't pay for it or I would have asked for my money back.
