Truth...??? The F&F + Mattel

Jump to first page

As long as there are manual transmissions, there will be F&F movies. 


  • I just read somewhere that only 18% of the people in the US actually know how to drive a manual transmission. — SpyDude
  • It was probably the same 18% that could read and comprehend the the question lol — RancidCactus
  • manual is the new anti-theft device, get a 3 on the tree, no one would know what that is. I prefer cars with a brake, loud pedal, and the smoke pedal — dr_dodge
  • I learned with 3-on the tree, no power steering and no power brakes. — DemonPreacher

Mattel will be releasing castings of the background cars seen parked on the streets in the films for the next F&F run. 

If they stop what other current franchises do they have. Sadly, new driving movies will still have the 90s cars, so will they re-release the same castings under new movie licenses(lame). Honestly if I were at Mattel I would be panicking because the next few decades 2000-2030 lackluster for car enthusiasts, what will they be making 10 years from now bunch of EV crap?!

Are there any background cars seen repeatedly in F&F movies for Mattel to put out? A series of "background appearance " models. Milk it dry!

Like that Volkswagen Beetle seen a few times during the chase in Bullitt.  


  • Or the VW Beetle in the background of the Beatles' Abbey Road cover. — SpyDude

Honestly, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a collaboration between Mattel and Rockstar Games at this point. 

There's a lot of vehicles in the GTA franchise that would appeal. Even the "uncanny valley" versions that have been uploaded in recent years, where they're carbon copies of real vehicles (apart from the different marques and branding) 


  • Yes! Related, I had exactly the same thoughts with some car models in the later Burnout game series. "Mattel, this isn't difficult; MAKE THAT!" — Chris_Hood
