Early thoughts about Fast & the Furious DVD
I just picked up a copy of The Fast and the Furious DVD from Wallmart and I have watched most of the extra features and some of the movie. The DVD is worth buying and the extra feature section gives a good glimpse of the Maxima as well as the other Nissan's in the movie. I just wanted to hear other people's thoughts on the dvd or things that I might have missed on it.

The Wallmart I went to had boxes of them. Just to be safe, I went there at 8:00am in the morning which is when they opened. I paid $27.75 Canadian including tax for my mine.

I got mine for $17.99 at Best Buy. The coupons and stuff in the DVD case are the funniest. There's a brochure for NOS nitrous kits. They have the ricer "$hit list" that shows which ricer you can slap which NOS kit, which wires, fuel rails, etc on.
I'm going to fire up the DVD in a few and see what it's got on it (yeah I'm still at work, but who cares).

i might get the dvd if the extra features are worth it. what are the extra features on it? i am wondering if there is info on all the cars that they used in movie, i dont care about the commentary and trailers and that crap. how about the deleted scenes? i heard in the commercial that there are some deleted scenes, are they good scenes, like racing scenes? i haven't bought a dvd in a while, i want to go to best buy to pick up a few, any suggestions on new dvd's, lets say some that came out in the past month or two.

Each line is a different scene. That's what's on the disc.

Yeah, from the looks of it, the Maxima had side exhaust pipes.

The deleted scenes all sucked. They were just fluff, things that were luckily cut.
By the way... did it look like that max had side pipes?

The DVD is awesome
This DVD is super sweet if you have a DTS home theater with some power. I knew I wasted my $$ on some good stuff, hehe.
Surround sound on this Disc is great, reference DVD.

Called up Target to see if they had any in stock. Funny how the guy on the other line said there were tons of it still on display. $17.99 there. I figured K-Mart would sell it cheaper, but the price they gave me was $19.99. So i went to Target and got it. I agree. They should've had more racing scenes and more Maxima scenes! I liked the burnout. that was great. The bonus stuff wasn't so great. It would've been better if they had profiles on the cars. Anyway, it's still a good part of my DVD collection.

Specs on the cars would have been more interesting than the below average deleted scenes. I was hoping that they would showcase some of the cars on the DVD... Also I didn't appreciate the some of the dialogue repeats from the cast in the commentary ... oh well, its not on my buy list. 
Didn't even see one Nissan or Maxima badge in any of the bonus footage

Hector drove a civic....and the white car in the street race with terreto and ja rule and brian was a civic...he actually had an in-dash DVD player, too...must be a Civic thing! Save money by buying cheap car, have money left over for DVD player.
