    Even after 30 years, this scene brings out the chills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JJip8Wk0Ag

    Actually, in season 1, patrol car officer Barry Baricza drew his pistol after a couple of drunk rednecks shot up his car. Jon & Ponch never needed their guns; all they needed were their one-liners to catch the bad guys. Meanwhile, what do we know about Warner Bros.' upcoming film reboot? Here are some updates: The film will be written and directed by Dax Shepard (Punk'd, Crosby in Parenthood), who will also star as Officer Jon Baker. No, I don't see it. Jon was always a clean-cut character; Shepard looks too stoned for the role. A better casting choice would be Chris Pine; after all, his old man was Sgt. Getraer in the series. Officer Frank "Ponch" Poncherello will be played by Michael Peña (Gordo in Fury, Rincon in Battle: L.A.). Isn't he kinda old for this role? Also the Ponch character is iconic because of Erik Estrada's machismo; Peña has none of that. Unlike Starsky & Hutch and The Dukes of Hazzard, the CHiPs film will not be a parody of the original series. It will be an action film with some comedy. Unfortunately, it will face the same problem the Miami Vice film had: it doesn't work in a present-day setting. Just as Miami Vice was to the '80s, CHiPs lived and breathed the '70s - the shaggy hair, the massive uses of brown and earth tones, and of course, the disco music. You can take CHiPs out of the '70s, but you just can't take the '70s out of CHiPs. And don't get me started on the CHiPs '99 reunion movie... And another thing: Just like the Ford Torino in Starsky & Hutch or the General Lee in The Dukes of Hazzard, the Kawasaki KZ1000 was the vehicular star of CHiPs. Sure, the CHP has moved on with Hondas and BMWs, but it's just not CHiPs without this bike. Dax Shepard will turn '70s cop show CHiPs into a movie Dax Shepard, Michael Peña to Star in CHiPs Movie

    Oh yeah, it was definitely an accident, but I have no doubt that Eddie Griffin is just a bad driver.

    Saw this movie yesterday. It's a good film, but nowhere near Saving Private Ryan.

    Till this day, it's still debated if Eddie Griffin's accident was a publicity stunt or not, as the event was to promote that horrible car movie Redline. Daniel Sadek, who produced the film and owned the Enzo, was completely unfazed and even posed in front of the wreck for pictures, as he ran a subprime mortgage company and was taking home US$5 million a month. Proving that karma's a b!tch, Redline tanked at the box office and Sadek went bankrupt.

    In Japan, the series is titled Patrol Bikers Jon & Ponch (白バイ野郎ジョン&パンチ, Shirobai-yaro Jon and Ponch), which makes you wonder what season 6 was called after Jon called it quits. The dub features the voices of Hideyuki Tanaka (Otacon in Metal Gear Solid, Woody Malden in Mobile Suit Gundam) as Jon and Toshio Furukawa (Ataru in Urusei Yatsura, Kai Shiden in Mobile Suit Gundam) as Ponch. Coincidentally, Furukawa would go on to narrate the police-themed Super Sentai series Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger in 2004.

    Now this is understeer (fast-forward to 6:44).

    It'll probably be as bland as the S.W.A.T. movie with Samuel L. Jackson.
  14. areaseven
    Nope. That's just bad driving.

    CHiPs Rosner Television/MGM Television, 1977-1983 Warner Home Video, 2007-2008 (Seasons 1-2 only) Created by Rick Rosner Running Time: 48 minutes per episode Rated TV-PG for violence. Cast Larry Wilcox as Officer Jonathan A. "Jon" Baker (call sign: 7-Mary-3) Erik Estrada as Officer Frank Llewelyn "Ponch" Poncherello (call sign: 7-Mary-4) Robert Pine (Chris Pine's old man) as Sgt. Joseph Getraer (S-4)with Lew Sanders as Officer Gene Fritz (call sign: 5-David-5) Brodie Greer as Officer Barry "Bear" Baricza (call sign: 7-Adam) Paul Linke as Officer Artie "Grossie" Grossman (call sign: 7-Mary-5) Lou Wagner as Mechanic Harlan Arliss Brianne Leary as Officer Sindy Cahill (call sign: 7-Charles) Lowdown CHiPs chronicles the adventures of two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers in Los Angeles. Jon is a cool-headed blond guy partnered with Ponch, a hot-headed Hispanic who is on probation. Together, they spend each episode chasing runaway vehicles or speeding villains on the freeways, resolving road rage, rescuing injured motorists in accidents, or arguing with Sgt. Getraer over just about everything. So the story level is pretty shallow in this series. Your typical episode has one main plot involving a freeway incident, coupled with some subplots that occur either on-duty or off-duty. Some episodes even have Jon and Ponch pulling over the celebrity of the week. Sure, the script is filled with cheesy one-liners (almost all of which come from Ponch), but in an era where oil prices and the automotive industry were at their worst, you have to admit that CHiPs had one hell of a budget. These days, action TV shows have to resort to CG effects. During its day, CHiPs took full advantage of newly built freeways before their grand openings; this meant a lot of unrestrained car chases and crashes on each episode. In addition, it popularized bike-cam angles that would be used in later action films. And while Ponch's off-duty hobbies may be rather quirky, you'll end up cheering for him and Jon by the end of each episode. CHiPs is best known for launching the career of Erik Estrada, though he could not achieve the same degree of success elsewhere. Larry Wilcox was supposed to have been the main star of the show, but perhaps because his character was too clean-cut, he always ended up playing second fiddle to Estrada's loose cannon of a character. This resulted in a lot of tension between the duo behind the camera to the point where Wilcox called it quits after the fifth season. Also, only hardcore Trekkies know that before Michael Dorn was Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation, he was Officer Jebediah Turner in seasons 3-5. Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner (now Caitlin Jenner) appeared in season 5 as Officer Steve McLeish while Estrada went on strike. Another focal point of the series is the music. Season 1 uses jazzy instrumentals typical of police and detective films of the 20th century, spearheaded by John Parker's iconic theme. Veteran score composers Mike Post (The Rockford Files, Doogie Howser, MD) and Pete Carpenter (1914-1987) (The A-Team, Magnum, P.I.) also contributed to season 1's music. By season 2, the disco craze was at its peak, so the producers brought in a young Alan Silvestri (The Avengers, the Back to the Future trilogy) to rearrange Parker's theme for everyone to boogie to. Sadly, like all TV series, CHiPs ran out of gas halfway through its run. The series was plagued by on-set injuries (such as one in 1979 where Estrada broke his ribs and wrists in a motorcycle accident), declining ratings, and contract disputes. When Wilcox walked out after season 5, he was replaced by Tom Reilly as Officer Bobby "Hot Dog" Nelson (call sign: 15-Mary-7). That season tanked heavily and led to the show's cancellation in 1983. Fifteen years later, Jon and Ponch reunited in CHiPs '99, a story to be told next time. In short, CHiPs is considered a guilty pleasure to some, but an entertaining good guy show for most families. Let's see how Hollywood screws this one up on the big screen next year or so... Rating: B References The Internet Movie Database

    WWE Hell in a Cell is this Sunday. Here's the card, along with my predictions: WWE Championship None. Brock Lesnar has other things to do. Hell in a Cell 1: Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins Rollins has gotten stale after winning his Money in the Bank briefcase. Expect Ambrose to win. Hell in a Cell 2 (#1 Contender for the WWE Championship): John Cena vs. Randy Orton Piss break of the year. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Dolph Ziggler © vs. Cesaro Expect Cesaro to win, as he's been held back far too long. WWE United States Championship: Sheamus © vs. The Miz Another piss break. WWE Tag Team Championship: Goldust & Stardust © vs. The Usos (Jimmy & Jey) Can we give the Tag titles to another team? WWE Divas Championship: AJ Lee © vs. Paige Are these the only two Divas that can actually wrestle? Also, amidst the rumors of CM Punk suing WWE, expect AJ to be punished. Loser Becomes Personal Assistant for a Month or Quit: Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella Brie has proven time and again that Nikki is the more talented of the two. Besides, Daniel Bryan needs more company. Big Show vs. Rusev Admit it - you're just in it for Lana.

    Time to dust off your tape decks.

    Actually... 1. Italian-brand cars are still unreliable. Just do a Google search and you'll see countless complaints on the Fiat 500 series. 2. Japanese-brand cars not made in Japan mostly lack quality. If you keep hearing that the Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the worst cars ever made, that's because it was designed and manufactured in Thailand, primarily for developing countries. Some exceptions would be American-built Hondas and Toyotas, which are very well-made.

    As much as I like the Countach, I would never own one even if I won the lottery. Sure, it's one of the most exotic-looking cars ever designed, but it has more wrongs than rights - as demonstrated by Jeremy Clarkson in these two videos: Also, while you may be amazed by the Diablo, you have to admit that it was a corporate product, as Chrysler funded its development and tinkered with Marcello Gandini's original design (which eventually became the Cizeta-Moroder 16T). So complaining about Lamborghini being corporate or mainstream is pointless, as it's done that nearly three decades ago. And kids these days don't buy posters anymore. They download wallpapers, and I'm sure thousands of them have Gallardo wallpapers.

    I don't know. My sister swore never to watch Saving Private Ryan again because of the slow stabbing scene.
