Is it just me, or is the bike chase just after Liu blows up Antonio's prision bus thing really *beep* slow? It's like they're doing 30kph. I mean even some random bus has no problem matching the speed of the bikes.
I don't know why they couldn't have used stunt men to at least go a little faster or done something in CGI. It just looks so stupid. Moreso than the rest of the film.
I thought the same thing,, i was expecting a nice, fast, exciting chase...yet they seem like they were holding the handbrake. If you listen, you can hear the engine sound like it is barely even revving. I still thought it was a cool movie though--definetly underated.

My thought as well.. Most action scenes were what I'd deem acceptable, but the bike/car chase just wasn't on par..
shareWhat I do sometimes when watching a car chase is mute the sound. Oftentimes, the filmmakers add the sound of a high revving engine. People associate the high rpms with fast movements, and so it adds to the illusion. But just turn the sound off when watching a cheesed up flick, and the action looks ridiculous
shareI couldnt believe how many faults this movie had. The bike scene was the most absurd of all.
The bikes were a Buel (a harley sporster engine in a sportbike frame designed by Eric Buel. A POS when it compares to any sportbike Lucy was on the Buel) The soundtrack was only correct for that bike for a second or two. Consider how a Harley sounds.... ROFL.
The second bike was a BMW which would have had the Buel for a light snack except on a very tight track.
Either of these bikes would have left the cars that were chasing them for dead.
