It's true, heroes drive Audi's. Close your eyes for a second and think back about all the action movies that you have seen lately. Now tell me what stands out the most?

  • The Transporter 2
  • Ronan
  • I-Robot,
  • Hitman
  • and the latest is Iron Man.
Without a doubt, these movies have truly encapsulated the image of Audi and have used the vehicles as key roles in the the movies that further add the cool factor to the characters!

I-Robot would have simply been another action movie without the Audi RSQ, Hitman without the Audi S5 would have been Wimpman and Iron Man without the Audi R8 would have been called Jelly Man. Dammit, even Starsky and Hutch drove an Audi 100!

Many of you will argue that BMW and Aston Martin in the Bond films is probably bigger and fair enough. Aston Martin does deserve mention here. BMW, however, doesn't deserve recognition. In fact, the only reason that BMW was favoured by the MI6 was because Aston Martin held the license to supply cars for the movies, and BMW had just bought Aston. It was decided that the image of BMW needed the lift and with a complete disregard to tradition, the idiots at Ingolstadt gave Bond a BMW instead.

Thank heavens that things have sorted themselves out and Bond rolls in an Aston Martin again!

Thanks for stuffing up the tradition BMW!

So, if Superman develops a fear for heights and can't fly anymore, you can be sure that he will be found an Audi!

TV is more racist than we realised!

Have a look at the picture below and tell me what do you see? Or perhaps, what your DON'T see?

That's right, no black friends? In the 10 years this show ran, why did they not have a black friend?

And now look at this show:Do no black people live New York city?

Why are there no black main characters in these famous TV shows?
  • Friends
  • Sex and the City
  • Seinfeld
  • Everybody Loves Raymond
  • Smallville (The black guy was there for ONE season)
All shows with no black people?

And why are there no black super heroes? They wear masks and costumes, so surely Marvel could have made at least ONE black super hero!

Just in from watching Rogue Assassin with Jet Li and Jason Statham. The movie is known as War in other countries.

It's the typical action-packed movie you'd come to expect from these two actors. Jason brings the same arrogance and violence from Transporter and Italian Job into his role here playing a FBI agent and Jet, well, what else would you expect? He plays a hired assassin and gets involved in the Chinese Triads and the Japanese Yakuza.

The movie has REALLY cool cars, with Jet driving a Spyker C8 Spyder throughout the film and Statham sporting a Mustang. There are shots of a few Lambos, Ferraris and Maseratis. The movie has a pretty cool car chase with the two of them going head to head in a decent battle. One would naturally assume the the Italian has the advantage, but the brutal muscle of the Yank gives it a run for its money in the traffic filled streets.

Lots of swords, pistols, snipers and automatic machine guns.

The movie is definitely nothing new, but it does have a fairly cool twist at the end. The action sequences are very well choreographed, and I am almost certain that John Wu himself couldn't have done it better.

Definitely worth a watch if you like it rough!
