Liextreme's film 2Fast 2Real for Hollywood claims to be a documentary of illegal street racing, but fails to explain how it can be a documentary when its disclaimer clearly states that all stunts are performed by professional drivers on closed courses. So either the movie is mislabeled, or the disclaimer is bull.

This is not to say it's not a good film. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Aside from the mislabeling as a documentary, I only had two complaints. One, the people interviewed were mostly not identified (which means that I'll be referring to "this guy" or "that other guy" a lot in this review).

Two, Liextreme, Inc. just seemed to grab random good-looking women off the street to pose with the cars. I understand that eye candy is a big selling point for this sort of DVD, but couldn't you have found women who were actually involved in the sport? You know, like—GASP—women drivers?

Now onto the good. And there's a lot of good. I can't list all of the amusing bits in this movie, but I'll give you the highlights.

A driver opens his door all the way while his car is moving at about 60 mph, and then he clutches the door, hanging completely outside the car letting his feet drag on the ground. The subtitle of this scene is, "Cruise Control Works."

A guy talks about his car, "the fastest Mini Cooper in the world." You get to see it do things you'd never think a car like it could do. I drive a similar car, a PT Cruiser, and now I'm starting to wonder what I could do if I turbocharged the engine.

My favorite bit, though, had to be a piece that I'll call "Watch Where You Park." You see a large man named "Big TT" (pronounced Titty) sleeping in a chair. Cut to another guy, complaining about how TT always parks in his space and takes his chair.

Cut to TT's car in the parking lot, in a space surrounded by empty spaces. They don't say what kind of car it is, but it bears more than a passing resemblance to my first car, a '86 Oldmobile Delta 88 Royale.

Cut back to the other guy, who says that he's going to "take care" of TT's car. Next scene is a monster truck crushing TT's car, repeatedly. Then a guy in a Jeep runs into TT's car, several times.

Then, a subtitle says, "The truck needed a second car to crush, so we brought one from the junkyard." They park the second car next to TT's car, then run over both of them again, several times.

I have no idea what this has to do with street racing, but it was so damn funny I didn't care.

One of the other things I really liked is that the drivers were obviously real people, chosen for their driving skills and not for their looks. It's one of the things that kept this movie from being a knockoff of 2Fast 2Furious.

The filmmakers also got some fabulous quotes from the drivers.

"A quarter-mile in a couple seconds? It's the best thing in the world."

"I don't give a shit about losing, I just want to have fun. But getting beat by a foreign car?"

I love the fact that this stuff could have easily come from the mouths of drag racers as well.

2Fast 2Real for Hollywood is a fun-- and funny-- film with lots of cool cars doing cool stuff. It's well worth watching, whether you're an avid motorsports enthusiast or a newbie like me.
