First, let me say that I professionally street raced for over 9 years before having a bad crash, killing a family of 4 in a minivan. So, I know this world like the back of my racing glove and can vouch that the writer and director have nailed it PERFECTLY. The acting is spot-on. Clint Browning has James Dean'ish good looks and oozes that Rebel Without a Cause angst which was integral to his role. The chicks are hot, and I mean HOT (in ALL uppercase if you know what I mean...). The cars and racing racing sequences are first rate. Tom Lopoziter, an LA based car builder, fabricated the cars for the film. Also, look for a cameo of Tobias Pahloosh in the beginning of the movie. The plot of Street Racers is lifted straight from the mean streets of the asphalt jungle of the oil stained roads from which the world of illegal street racing was born. The fire and fury of the turbo charged script gives the movie that dash of realism. I found myself pulled in and, before long, found myself shouting "Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands 'cross my engines" at the movie screen. Word of warning to parents of children under the age of 18 if considering this film: Some of the the sex scenes are graphic and unstimulated.

First of all; Why put a 2009 Nissan GTR on the cover, when a MID 90s model was used in the film. The actors/actresses were horrible, I didn't even recognize any of them...perhaps they are all beginners!! The Cars used in this film were whacked, and the races were poorly put together. The races looked slow, and why the hell would you race a SCION XB(with hubcaps) and a old 5series BMW(looked plain). At least make the cars look beefed up, put some after-market rims on them. Everything just looked awful, and poorly directed. The story is just plain out weird and disorganized. I think that the only plus side to this movie, is the hot actress....But thats all I can say good about this film.....I would never recommend this film to anyone, unless they've never watched television before.....

I don't understand why it does have such a low review. Probably because people (including myself) expected more images with the cars doing tricks, passing by each other more and also more dangerously. Indeed the movie didn't have so many 8 year old effects, but it sent some strong messages; it showed clearly what happens if you're not careful while driving and how you can mess up someones life; it also touched the subject of corruption; it showed this very realistic. I also liked the "preaches" of the old man Johnny was working for. ..oh, and did I mention I felt for the character played by Clint Browning in this movie. Johnny rulezzzz (especially in Clint's body uuuh!!)

First off, this cover shows a Ford Mustang, and looks like a 350z. Neither cars seemed to be in there. It is very obvious this is a low production film. I'm not saying that low production films are bad though, however if the movies about flashy fast race cars, the producers gotta spend some money. The most expensive car in there would probably be between a Honda or Subaru. Acting was horrible, cars were cheap, the race scenes lacked what at least fast and the furious had. The whole showing the driver, then showing them press the clutch and shifting gears, yeah they screwed up on that. This is where my "spoiler" comes in.. at the last "race", there's this narration of the race which is ridiculous, it's suppose to be a police officer in a helicopter? i guess, but it just sounds like horrible teens that don't know what they're talking about. Races are about 30-45 seconds each, normally I would assume the circuit takes at least a minute per a lap. Everything just wasn't done right, just re-watch one of the fast and the furious movies instead of renting/buying this movie.
