Shinobi-vs-Gast

I used to watch this show back in the day and catched the occasional rerun on tv, but I never saw the entire show from beginning to end. So I decided to start from scratch and man, 'Fastlane' is really a blast to watch. The show is heavily inspired by 'Bad Boys' and 'Miami Vice'. There are lots of fast cars, hot women, over-the-top action sequences and the occasional comedy bits.

The cast is also solid, with - the always beautiful - Tiffani Amber Thiessen, Peter Facinelli as the somewhat naive cop and Bill Bellamy for the comedic relief at times. They have excellent chemistry together. Unfortunately the show was cancelled due to the high production costs; around two to three million dollar per episode. It's such a shame that it ends with a cliffhanger. Luckily we have gotten 22 banger episodes out of it.

P. S.

I watched the Fox TV-rip and I can advise you to do the same, because the dvd version has a cropped image and doesn't have the original soundtrack; even the custom opening theme by Snoop Dogg is missing.

I just hope we get some kind of reboot or re-imagination in the future, since the concept is just that awesome.

I used to watch this show back in the day and catched the occasional rerun on tv, but I never saw the entire show from beginning to end. So out of curiosity I started from the first episode a couple of months ago. And I have to say 'Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place' really holds up well next to the other popular comedies in the nineties. The characters are funny and the situations they get themselves in are crazy. The unusual episodes with music and without dialogue are also nice. =]

After the unfortunate cancellation most of the cast went onto better things, but it's a shame that the careers of Richard Ruccolo and Jillian Bach never took off.

I don't write that many reviews, but I just wanted to warn you guys if you're planning to see this movie.

Albeit the cast including the lovely Katharine Isabelle, Brendan Fehr and Brendan Fletcher are doing a decent job. The low budget doesn't help this movie, it just looks so cheap. And seriously since when do zombies run, besides that the make-up used for the zombies looks really cheap. Maybe that's the reason why it suddenly looks so dark when the camera zooms in on them, probably to mask the poor make-up.

And don't even let me start about the ending, the scene just gets cut off out of the sudden like they had no more money. Probably for a sequel, but I for one won't burn myself again with this garbage.
