            The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)

File:Fast and the furious poster.jpgPlot

In the middle of the night, on a highway in Los Angeles, three black modified 1993 Honda Civics follow a semi-trailer truck, and they manage to hijack the truck, stealing over $6 million in merchandise of TV-s and electronics that were on the truck.

LAPD officer Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) is sent undercover on a joint LAPD-FBI investigation to apprehend the hijackers. Brian uses his cover job at The Racer's Edge, an aftermarket parts shop, to make connections and infiltrate the local street racing scene. One night, on a local street racing gathering, he enters his modified 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 420A into an illegal race with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Edwin (Ja Rule) and Danny (Rj De Vera) bartering the pink slips, due that he doesn't have enough money to bet in the race.
Brian, due to his lack of knowledge in racing, fires too much nitrous oxide, and he pressures the Eclipse's engine, and he spins out, frying his engine and also losing to Dominic's modified 1993 Mazda RX-7. Brian gains Dominic's respect, however, when he arrives in time to prevent Dominic from being caught by police responding to the race. As they flee from the scene, Dominic and Brian accidentally venture into Southern California's Little Saigon, encountering Dominic's rival, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) along with his cousin Lance Nguyen (Reggie Lee) and his gang, who open fire with submachine guns, rupturing a nitrous tank and destroying the Eclipse in the resulting explosion, but Brian and Dominic leave.

Later on, Dom invites Brian to a party at his house, where he encounters with Dominic's friend, Vince (Matt Schulze), who dislikes Brian because of Dominic's sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster), who likes Brian. At the party, Brian also meets with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom's longtime girlfriend, and the rest of the Dom's crew, Leon (Johnny Strong) and Jesse (Chad Lindberg).
The next day, Brian delivers a totaled 1994 Toyota Supra to Dominic's shop and offers his talents as a driver to repay the debt incurred from losing the race. Brian begins dating Mia and Jesse goes to work restoring the Supra. Dominic also invites Brian to his house, showing him a 1970 Dodge Charger, which he built with his father. Dom tells him that his dad was a race car driver, and Dom was also qualified to race on the tracks and that one day, his father was forced into a wall by another racer, and died when the fuel tanks exploded. He met the driver a week later and beat him up with a 3/4" torque wrench. This caused Dom to have a record, and he was forbidden to race on the track for life.

The investigation eventually leads Brian to suspect Tran and his gang of performing the hijackings and he reports the findings to his superior, Sergeant Tanner (Ted Levine) and FBI special agent Bilkins (Thom Barry). The SWAT team, along with Brian, raids Tran's garage and arrests him and his cousin Lance, but when it is proved that they are innocent, Bilkins and Tanner, Brian's superiors return to their original theory that Dominic and his crew are the perpetrators. Tanner warns Brian not to let his feelings for Mia or his friendship with Dominic cloud his judgment and lead him too far from the case, and Bilkins, angered about this, gives Brian only 36 hours to break the case or he will be sacked from the job and lose his entire career.

With the Supra now fully prepped to race, Brian presses Dominic for information regarding his income, citing that the shop alone wouldn't pay for all his racing expenditures. Dominic gives Brian an invitation to "Race Wars", a massive street racing event held in the desert, and informs him they'll talk once Brian has proven his worth on the strip. Jesse, wanting to impress his dad in jail and Dom, bets his modified 1995 Volkswagen Jetta and Tran bets his modified 2000 Honda S2000. Jesse loses, panics and hastily flees the track, prompting Tran to confront Dominic and demand that he retrieve the car for him. Dominic refuses and Tran accuses him of informing on him. In response Dominic brutally beats Tran and is pulled off by Vince and two race wars security. That night, Brian notices Dominic and his crew leaving the Race Wars.
Brian realizes that Dominic is the hijacker and confesses to Mia his status as an undercover cop. She is angry at Brian and leaves him, but he says to her that everything that he said to her about their relationship is true and convinces her to come with him to save her brother and his friends from the armed truck drivers, and they leave on the highway to catch up with Dominic and the rest of the group.Click Here to watch Amazing Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbS6xYwo1_g 
Meanwhile, the attempted hijacking goes wrong when the truck driver fights back with a shotgun, causing Letty to crash and critically wounding Vince. Brian tracks their location by triangulating Dominic's cell phone signal, and works with Mia work together to get him off the truck. Just then, Dominic arrives with Leon and Letty. Brian, realizing that Vince will die and that he has no other choice, makes the difficult decision to blow his cover to the crew by phoning in for a medivac, revealing that he is a police officer. The revelation enrages Dominic, but he contains himself and flees with Leon, Letty and Mia as the medivac arrives for Vince.
Brian follows Dominic to his house and holds him at gunpoint to prevent him from fleeing, but he is angry and yells that he is going to look for Jesse before Tran finds him. Just when Dom points his shotgun to him, Jesse arrives, apologizing for his actions at Race Wars and pleading for help with Tran. Moments later, Tran and Lance arrive on their bikes and perform a drive-by shooting and kill Jesse. Brian and Dominic chase them, with Dom in his Charger. He forces Lance's motorcycle off the road, severely injuring him, while Brian, after a short chase, manages to shoot and kill Tran. Afterwards, Brian and Dominic engage in a drag race, narrowly avoiding a passing train. Dominic smiles, but he crashes into a semi-truck and rolls his car twice, totaling the Charger. Brian pulls out Dom, with Dom assuming that he will arrest him now, but instead of arresting him, Brian hands over the keys to the Supra and lets him escape, making good on his promise to deliver a "ten-second car". Dom leaves, and we see Brian walking past the camera.
Chevrolet Chevelle S
After the credits, Dominic is seen driving through Baja California, Mexico, in a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, with the words "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time. For those 10 seconds or less, I'm free", disappearing in the sunset.

STUNTMAN DIARIES


                                                  STUNTMAN DIARIES
Headline :- Highly effective ways and suggestions to get your rider desires fulfilled.

Introduction :-
I would like to explain some stuff i know and get some topics explained in this article. Almost 90%  of the article is from personal experiences.  So i bet its all true what i have written down here

Why do men and women (some times) attempt deeds much higher than their abilities? 
              What is it they get doing that ?  What are the consequences ?
              What if they succeed ?  What are they gonna lose if they fail ?
               Are some of the general  queries.
 People find stunting  as a talent , disease (mental preferably preferably , Time pass, Passion,  and many more of those complicated things you cant spell so easily.

Body :-
Stunting as a talent is unique, guys with the talent and the right time can bring the word to their feet or rather "Wheels".
 And talent always tends to turn into passion, with time and practice . There are good things (I wont be calling them advantages though) and bad things and really Nasty things to stunting.
     So why do people stunt? People are weird stuff i tell you...... Some guys stunt because they think its 'cool' (It is cool with all respect) And some do it for passion and Chicks. these kind of stunters are the most affected and more prone to accidents.
     Stunting is no child's play. the pros' make it look easy as killing an ant with a flamethrower.
     Stunting is not  that simple job. It is an art , it is an operation, it is the synchronisation of balance, Artistic                                        
     imagination, speed, torque and lots of stuff from the big physics book.
      its not as easy as most conclude, it is tricky stuff.

Good things in the point view of a stunter  : 
Bikes are firstly magnificent creations, two mere round wheels, an engine, a handle, a seat and a rider, with a reaction speed and skills of a heat seeker missile behind a jet.... makes it more than a bike, makes it a beast as to quote .  the beast has the power, the rider should have the skills to use it and hardness its full potential.
stunt men practice stunts to perfection, and a perfect stunt is awe thrilling to any person.  Stunts are viles of pure rush, stunts get adrenaline pumping. There is no such feeling as you get when you successfull execute a long wheelie or any other good stunt you can think of, you literally feel like the king of the world...
stunts give people happiness, a certain glad feeling when pulled off neatly and correctly. so we can almost conclude stunts which are successfull are equal to your first kiss . the feeling is "you cant explain it dude!" type.
stuntmen get famous, really really famous if they are good at what they do. FAME is one of those things we seek in the long run of life, right?. so its quite good to get some of it from ways like these(the legal ones ).  so stunting can be registered into your list of "things to do to get famous".
Fame gets people attracted to you. gets you girls and stuff you want . Girls aren't really the dead line though. fame with stunts is really hard to gain and maintain so the famous stuntmen deserve their luxury lives

HOW TO GET PREPARED WITH YOUR STUNT:-
As i have mentioned , bikes are powerful beasts that sums it all up. when beasts get out of control, stuff gets really smosshy* on the rider's part, damage is subliminal and may be even fatal. As in brief, stunting without the proper gear and the proper training or skill is suicide.
*always have the basic safety measures in line while you are gonna do a stunt.
*always have a spotter, a partner and
*always have first aid at hand
because its a 50-50 chance of a stunt going good or bad.

BASIC SAFETY MEASURES:- 
*Rider:- wearing a helmet is mandatory, a biker glove on each hand; that's a pair, a chest plate helps a lot, an abdomen guard, protects your stuff and can matter life or death some times its a matter of your manhood, protecting it is keenly important a pair of knee caps and shin guards, because legs are the mostly 'in danger' parts a pair of boots help a jacket to keep yourself from getting peeled like an onion and a pair of elbow guards too with all this stuff you are good to go.

Bike:-
The more powerful your motorcycle gets the more safety you would need .
 i would like mention them:-   A pair of bumpers to protect your engine, a wheelie guard in case you overdo a wheelie, a good pair of handle balances on either side don't look much of a help but they do help a lot.  Now your beast is prepped.

Spotter/partner:-
'Distance', maintaining a good distance and having a safe spot to view the ongoing stunt is a really important safety measure, because if when the  rider falls and the bike has no one to control it it can hit the spotter and that would make both the rider and the partner immobilized   * bad thing to happen *duh*.
            Some first aid training and a sufficient first aid kit at hand and a really calm mindset because if panic strikes, every thing goes bananas.

Note:- Never loose concentration in the middle of a stunt.  Turns out bad every time.
     



Bad things that can happen:-
When a stunt goes wrong, both the rider and the bike are in danger. The damage can be very much or if the guy is very lucky and has his mother wishing and praying nothing bad happens, beside him, the rider may escape unscaved even after a bad fall.
           
                      Stunts involving high speeds are the most risky as speed can get you killed or damage and injured wear fatally.
                      Stunts with lower speeds are less dangerous but they have less chances of happening.  And if a rider losses concentration in the middle he can get every one around him in danger along with himself and those kind of accident can make the rider's sex appeal lesser than a road kill. No first aid can result in life loss of long term/ permanent damage so having it is your priority.  So keeping the consequences in mind stunts can be performed, enjoyed and practiced by everyone wanting to do them.
                       So here i conclude. stunts are good if you know everything about them and bad if you are a maniac thinking them as easy stuff.
