What a crock of $h1t. That is so stupid to blame the movie for what he did. He had to make up his own mind to race that night and he did. I feel very sorry for the family for what happened, but you can't blame outside sources for his decision. Just my personal opinio though.

The beginnin of the movie they tell you not to duplicate the movie. theres always a warning in both movies F&F and 2F2F So the movie ppl already covered there asses. its jus a way to show they dont believe there son would do this with out watchin this particular movie. nice case of denial to blame movie makers. if they could only see how much stuff in the movie wrong lol

the sad part of it all is:
if people like us all made up whatever jury is gonna convene to take this trial on (if it goes thus far) the movie producers would walk no problem. BUT, middle aged, blue collar workers moreover disagree with our hobby and would probably drop such a heavy monitary consequence on the producers it won't make any sense.

ignorance pays!
for example: take the woman who burned herself with mcdonald's coffe and got BOOQUO money.
i can picture the case now... in this movie they show the extravagant and fun side of illegal street racing. they show the beautiful women, the instant fame, the adrenaline rush, and the money that is associated with such an underworld. hell, even when they crashed the drivers survived unharmed *save for a hurt arm in each movie**. never did the movie show the greusome side to street racing and hi-speed accidents. it even showed a hi-speed game of 'chicken' wher the YENCO swerved off and still was able to recover unscathed.
what are the movie people left to say? 'we put a disclaimer in the begining of the movie.... and... well, the disclaimer's ther'. not much of a defense is it?

There is a difference in putting a disclaimer on an entertainment item and an instruction manual. A disclaimer is kinda like prefixing "no offense" before punching someone, has no effect even in legal circles.
Harry Potter movies created a rush for fake glasses and kids found little twigs to swish around as magic wands. Kids emulate what they see just like monkeys. Mature people make their own informed decisions and must then live with the consequences of their actions by being held accountable.
Sure, I saw 2F&2F and laughed at the little kids in the parking lots. Personally, I knew the ramifications of drag racing on the street and made a decision not to even try (at least not then
).
