    ★★★ Added

    Robert Hardford-Davis's first feature film as producer sets the template for his next two flicks - a shocking (for the day)social content message, some rock n' roll for the kids and a minor bit of titillation to aid with a shock-o-rama marketing campaign.

The monster is also rather slipshod; think Glenn Strange or Kiwi Kingston rather than Karloff or Lee. Still, the locations/sets are effective and Miss Neri is both gorgeous and a pretty decent actor. Also, she takes her clothes off.

But the Fast saga, at least in the hands of Justin Lin, seems to somehow act like a shot of supercharged NOS straight into the lizard brain.

    Part 1, where it's all about honour and street racing, seems rather…
