Where the hell do you find such a longass truck on a lonely road without security with a cargo of gas that worth 14million dollars?
You don't because:
1. That amount of gas is never transported by trucks. 2. Especially not without security. 3. If they don't bother with some police cars just to be around, why let an oldman drive the truck and why give him a shotgun? 4. That truck is so long that if it slides just a little bit, it will probably fly off the road or it will be stuck and will need help to drive back to the road properly. 5. That truck is so long and so heavy that it's kinda impossible to use break.
Vin Diesel is still a shit actor. However the movie will still attract car race fans and those who usually don't understand the point of complex movies. (I know a lot of people like this) The film will remain shit but the box office rate will be still high.
He didn't have a shotgun, he had some kind of tinny revolver from the Cowboy days of America.
Michelle Rodriguez is in this one, worth watching with that fact alone.

My brother has almost every street racing video game out there, all the Fast & Furiouses on DVD and some on Limited Edition, and a bunch of other racing shit including posters.
I hate car race idiots, especially street racers. "Oh hi we're cool because we copied Japan"
