This film is 17 years old and it still holds up beautifully

[michaelclarke]

You gotta remember that the film came out in 2006, and the Mazda Miata was first sold in 1990, meaning that the twins were only 16 years old when they flashed Lightning. Just putting that out there.

Imagine taking that many computers and time to render this awesome peak movie, only for critics to say "it's bad because the main characters don't need to be sentient cars for the story to work"

[gamerallofficial]

If it took 17 Hours per frame at 24 frames per second it would have rendered over 300 years…
