Oh - boo to you Rosco. Death Race and AOD?

Did you see we had DR on the TV at AutoSalon :(

David Carradine is the B-grade of D-grade. Stalone's best work in my book.

But not Army of Darkness - say it ain't so :)

So much quality, so many notable quotes - where would a generation of Duke Nukem players be without that movie? I even have the rare director's cut on VHS somewhere with the crappy 'I slept too long' ending rather than the 'yo she-bitch... let's go' bit :(

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

What did everyone expect from that movie? I don't understand why so many people say it was a bad movie?

It was visually stunning, acting was on par - hell, even as a stand-alone movie it was OK, but...

I felt they spoilt the whole story with this film.

The overiding premise of the Matrix is that we are humans in stasis - being stimulated by machines to believe we live in the world we do - whilst serving as a renewable power source. Some of us humans become 'aware' of this existance, and fight against the controlling machines in the 'real' world - and become 1337 in teh computer h4X0r world - as it is just a simulation, physical rules do not apply.

What a cool idea. Trinity is hot, but Lawrence sure does crap on a bit.

The second film began to stretch this a bit - and made it seem that the 'real' world was also a simulation and that Colonel Sanders was simply an overworked IT guy running a debugging loop - that no matter if the real world was another facet of the Matrix, what was real is our ability to choose a direction and course of action whether indide the Matrix or no. Kinda mushy and Scarecrow, I'm going to miss you most of all type crap, but there was a cool car chase. I like hot chicks in patent-leather catsuits, I want a Ducatti, but geeze, Lawrence - OK, we get it, now shut the hell up.

The third film - well perhaps I, personnaly, wanted closure to the story. A mass realisation by the trapped human hordes, a dawning of the Zion citizens that they too were 'simulated' - or even a human vs machines battle that left a small number of people alive to start a brave new world and tell stories of the warrior of the wasteland.. oops, wrong film.

Instead... we got Lawrence 'I simply wont shut my preachin' mouth' Fishburne prattling on the entire movie, a facelifted oracle, a rip off of the General Zod vs Superman fight, a rip off of Tron in the MCCR neon city, Neo crying - with no f*cking eyes - and then the whole Jesus matyr thing with Keanu being taken away by a giant tentacle raping robot in the end.

No closure. No cool car chase. I was disappointed.

What the hell was all that train station crap?

Ruined the original premise of the first film - by trying to be too epic and mindf*cky.

Just my 5c (is longer than a 2c post)

James the question was worst movies of all time. Not best quotes of all time, or cornest movie of all time. DR2k and AOD are absolute classic's, but it does not deter from the fact they are the worst movies of all time.

i admit they really shouldnt be in the same category as titanic, but i stand by my decision :)

the same cruel twist of fate that had my ass sit through 3 hours of one fkn ship sinking (titanic)

I took my then girlfriend (now ex....gee i wonder why ;)) to go and see Starship Troopers. Upon the end of the film she said it was the worst movie she had ever seen, and i now owed her TWO movies of her choice :D

the bitch just had to go, she didnt even like my 32.

You know the woman who played the original oracle was dead right?, what else could they do. Make her cg? As a stright up action movie it thought it was ok. There are soooo many movies that are much worse. Go rent mimic 2.

Whoever put army of darkness in their list need a slap upside the head! Ash ownz u!

I agree - and even stated that in my post - I just felt it to be a disappointing and unessecary sequel to what was a fantastic original film.

Oh - and I saw Mimic 2 :D

So. Very. Bad.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
