Title: Brief Duc cameo in new Transformers movie
Post by: dbakes13 on June 23, 2009, 11:05:16 PM
I went to a midnight screening of the new Transformers movie. Good stuff. Anyways. There are a few sportbike Autobots, one of which was an 848. I won't tell you all which one it was (if you even give a crap) because I don't want to totally spoil the joy of finding the Duc in the movie, but I'm sure that most of you on the forum will spot it much quicker than I did if you're going to see the movie anyhow. Would have been cooler if it were a Monster, of course (of Corse) but pretty boss all the same.

I went last night as well.  Noticed the 848 right away. Very cool  [thumbsup]

Oh and the movie kicked ass.

I'm glad to hear that the movie was good - I was starting to get mixed feelings about it.

Always better with a Duc in a film!!!  [thumbsup]

One of our members, RetroSBK did the bikes for the movie. He has both the 848's in his shop now. They are beautiful, even if they are hot pink. I'm not a big fan of the Suzuki though.

Will do. He was unable to show anything prior to the movies release...but now that it's in the theaters he should be able to show it.

CNN posted: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" -- the most terrible revenge since Montezuma's -- is louder, longer and lamer than the 2007 hit it succeeds."

OUCH!!!

The Tomato Meter gave it a sore hit too: 21% Rotten

Yup! I thought it was going to be a preview like a lot of the other movies they show on base. But I don't mind waiting a couple days to see the movie for free. Especially since the concessions are actually reasonably priced on base...

I've found some other pics of the Suzuki, but it's been harder to find more of the 848

Rotten Tomato is down to 20% now... Consensus: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.

I'll still watch it (eventually) now that I know there's a Duc in it, but I won't be paying $20 at the theater.


Title: Re: Brief Duc cameo in new Transformers movie
Post by: mrs minnesotamonster on June 24, 2009, 02:36:43 PM
I have not read a single good review on it, but I still loved the movie.

The one on MSN is BRUTAL! I keep reading that they didn't know it was possible to make a movie worse than the first Transformers...I thought the first one was good too!!

I guess it's a good thing I've learned not to listen to critics and just go myself.

Do the same, I haven't heard any NORMAL* people say a single bad thing about it.

*Normal being anyone who is not a critic.

Noticed the bike, how could you miss it. Now the girl should have been riding one instead of the Triumph. 

It was a great action flick.  Next thing you know the critics will start giving their ramblings about kids cartoons, and saying it doesn't have a plot, horrible , blah, blah blah.  Take the movie for what it is!!!!!!

As Tony the Tiger said "It's GREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAT!!!!" or something like that.  Thumbs up to the movie, thumbs down to the critics.

As my best friend said:

I read a scathing review on Transformers - they said it was nothing but robots fighting each other and Megan Fox running away in slow motion.  They didn't actually say what was bad about the movie.

I thought it was pretty darn good. Wish they had highlighted the bike characters a bit more over the twins, but oh well. I've never been to a college with some many honeys walking around. Need to find out where that school was. Worth it for sure IMHO.

Sorry it took me so long to repsond... building the Streetfighter and filming the show for the last few days...

We did in fact did the bikes, there was a 848, a Bking, and another brand. We also supplied all the choppers used in the "Mikes Custom Cycles" scene, except one.

We will actually be doing a pulic unveiling of the bikes this sunday, but if you are a bike guy, its not such a big deal. The 848 will be displayed on Ducati Island in the mueseo during MotoGP

The movie itself... Pretty wild, just as Bay said it would be. If you are into action flicks, you have never seen anything even close to it, as nothling like this has ever been done before. If you go expecting to see "La Strada" you are an idiot, and need to be shot. Its an action movie. I tend to ignore critics, and look more at box office to determine how good the movie is, as public opinion rules. This movie should do a BILLION at the box office... 'nuf said

I didn't see the first TF movie right away because of the critics reviews.  Then, I went, and absolutely loved it.

Excited for TFII!

Saw TFII yesterday on IMAX, and saw the 848.  I was hoping for more of it, but it was still very awesome.  Nice work RetroSBK!!

Maybe we'll get more of it in TFIII?

so the bike were an 848, and an f4 what was the last bike was that a bking?

megan fox is ridign the aprilia.

i saw the movie, it was what it was supposed to be.. a transformers movie made by m bay.. meaning lots of expolosions fight scenes and usually  not much else, meaning if you go for that. then it delivers perfectly..  if you are looking for an oscar winning movie, you are going to the wrong movie.

heck the movie practically broke the 5 day record for movies, didn't beat out dark knight all time but it was close enough every dime from this point on is profit..   you tell me, is that a good business decision by the movie theatres or what?

i think they can maybe squeeze one more movie out before the franchise is officially "jumped the shark".. i see a transformers 3 in 2 years if i had to guess.

Liked the movie, but there were quite a few inconsistencies. Just check out the IMDB page for the list of goofs and plot holes.

But Megan fox running in slow-mo was a definite strong point in the movie...

Don't care to see the movie.  Besides, Hollywood hasn't made a decent film since Speed Racer.   ;)

However, I was at the Arclight Cinema in Hollywood this weekend and they had the Bumblebee Camaro and the Sideswipe Corvette sitting in front of the doors.

The Corvetter was indeed very awsome.  Too bad Obama/GM wants to make electric riding lawnmowers and call them cars because I doubt they will NEVER actually make a production version of the "Sideswipe" Corvette.
