Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Need for Speed is a 2014 action racing film that is based on Electronic Arts' popular action Racing Game franchise of the same name (if the film's name and use of the series' Undercover-introduced typeface hasn't tipped you off already) that is directed by Scott Waugh and stars Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots, Dominic Cooper, Michael Keaton, and Kid Cudi (credited by his real name Scott Mescudi in the poster to the right). It is produced by DreamWorks, but distributed by Disney via their Touchstone Pictures label. In the film, Paul plays a mechanic named Tobey Marshall who races across the country after being released from prison for a crime that he was framed-up on in order to avenge the death of a close friend named Pete (Harrison Gilbertson).One thing that should be noted about the film is that the filmmakers refused to use CGI for the chase sequences, instead using practical effects with actual cars. Being based on a game series known for ridiculous stunts, this should be taken with extreme awesome. The actors had to receive several driving lessons to accommodate this, and it shows.A sequel is in the works, this time backed by Chinese Movie Channel, Jiaflix and 1905.com, which are also the same Chinese companies who supported Transformers: Age of Extinction.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: At one point, there is a Hummer with a lot of upgrades. Julia, being the person she is, notices this as a sign of an "inferiority complex" (she even raises her left pinkie to drive the point further.) The Hummer also dodges first when playing chicken, hits the side of the canyon, and rolls over.

Cool Cars: It's based on the Need for Speed video game franchise for crying out loud. Of course it has cool cars! The lead character's car is a silver modified 2014 Ford Mustang GT500 with blue stripes. Said car made its NFS game appearance in the 2013 game, Rivals, complete with livery. However, the original design dates back to the original Most Wanted, which was the central car. Cool vs. Awesome: The final race has a combined worth of ~$10 million in 6 cars, all of which their makers had less than ten of each made. Now that is what you call exotic cars. Koenigsegg vs. Lamborghini. Which is faster?
