Reloaded Cadillacs – Matrix Surrounded Us

The Matrix Reloaded is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most influential, admired and popular movies. It is an elaborately choreographed, rigorously stylized science-fiction epic rife with cool heroes, intriguing villains and eye-widening action set pieces that show us the money in no uncertain terms. Without the newness of the concept as a lure, “Reloaded” increasingly relies on elaborate action and new villains to keep us interested. On the combat side, there is a stirring battle involving cars especially Cadillac ones, trucks, motorcycles and martial arts on a replica of the Harbor Freeway, built at no small expense in Northern California (the real one is kinda busy). Also on tap is a much-talked-about scene where Neo takes on something like a hundred replicas of scheming Agent Smith.

GM donated 300 cars for use in the production of the movie. All 300 were wrecked by the end. Because the twins’ Cadillac Escalade EXT was not in production at the time of the movie’s filming, General Motors had to graft together fiberglass Cadillac Accessories with prototype Chevrolet Avalanche pickup trucks, to create the black truck seen in the freeway chase. The Lincoln Continental from The Matrix (1999) makes a brief cameo appearance toward the beginning of the film. The underground garage where the characters select a car is populated with all Cadillacs, including a classic 1950s El Dorado and prototype of the 2004 XLR.

The Fast & The Furious Rides – Part 1

The Fast and the Furious sequel is a contemporary series of films about street racing, which can be hardly called a deep-thinking cinema, but is in no way lessened because of that. Full of high-octane street racing scenes and plenty of automotive eye-candy, the excitement rarely lets up. Every Episode of Fast & Furious is what you would expect from the car franchise – lots of racing and custom cars to get all you gear-heads out there excited. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, which is provide realistic, exciting car races, chases and crashes. After sitting through a seemingly endless steam of inept comedies and pretentious action movies, it’s refreshing to see a production so unrepentantly cheesy. The movie simply is what it is, an instantly forgettable diversion for those in the mood for cheap thrills, swaggering men, bad girls and melodrama as aggressive as it is dumb.

Speaking about those movie we can’t but mention the cars, which were shown there. As only nicely done custom rides make thousand of car fans watch the movie.

The Fast and the Furious claims to take us inside the underworld of illegal street racing. In the first part the main character has a task to filter local street racing bands, suspected to be the origin of a string of high-speed truck hijackings perpetrated on a trio of black Honda Civics. The cars in that movie really strike up the minds. Here is the list of the most vivid ones:

  • Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2G DSM
  • Honda Civic Coupe 1.6 VTI Turbo
  • Mazda RX7 FD3S
  • Honda S2000
  • Nissan Skyline GT-R R33
  • Toyota Supra
  • Acura Integra
  • Ford SVT Lightning
  • Ferrari F355
  • Volkswagen Jetta GLX

Japan Cars were represented by almost all main car brands available today. Really those rides can be nicely adopted for racings as car accessories for Japan vehicles are widely spread.

But the coolest for major watchers was Dodge Charger R/T with thousands of Dodge Accessories that let the car to be the fastest one.

This is a film about cars and street racing at the end of the day, and in that sense it doesn’t disappoint. This is a movie to be seen and occasionally heard. If you like cars, that is.
