As they're all wrecked, he won't get a penny. He did so on the promise of receiving half the value of the cars won.
This also presents an issue to the wealthy guy who lent Tobey the $2.7m Mustang. Also, it finishes on a dead-end road, so anyone left by then will presumably have their car impounded by the police, unable to hand the keys to the winner.

Seems like a good idea, but the drivers have a habit of absolutely wrecking their cars, leaving the prize fund a little light by the end. The premise here is that six rather expensive cars (Bugatti Veyron SS, Saleen S7, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, GTA Spano, McLaren P1 and Koenigsegg Agera R) all race on the road, and the winner takes every car home. After a short flight the Mustang is dropped off with the support crew, who are incomprehensibly ahead of our hero, despite having been left behind hours before - and without the aid of an aerial shortcut. For starters, the 'hilarious sidekick' picks up the Mustang with a helicopter and dangles it about, which somehow doesn't damage the car, nor the chopper.
Numerous things are wrong with this part of the film. Having cars leap high in the air and land without catastrophic suspension failure is a common staple for action films. This all looks a tad dangerous, so why bother? Why not just do a brisk fuel stop, then drive a little quicker for the next few miles to compensate? He seems quite happy to stop for fuel the conventional way later on, rendering this whole stupid scene pointless. To save time, their mates in a Ford F-450 decide to refuel them while moving at motorway speeds. Our hero and Julia Maddon (Imogen Poots), his companion, need to get a jolly good move on to reach San Francisco for the start of a big street race. If these guys are so good, why are they struggling to even pay off debts? And why aren't they employed by a high-end manufacturer? Maybe they should start working in the mornings, rather than drinking beer and playing Xbox, as seen in one scene. This is later evidenced by the fact that they're able to carry on the work of the late, great, Caroll Shelby. The garage run by our hero, Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), is referred to by baddie Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) as the best he'd seen for miles. With that in mind, you wouldn't expect it to have much of a budget, but we have car trackers, on-board cameras, roads closed off, and a spotter (Kid Cudi) in a plane overhead. We're even treated to a classic slow-motion ' noooo!'Īt the beginning of the film, we're treated to a low-level street race, with a prize of $5000 for the winner. There's hammy dialogue, a hopelessly derivative 'revenge' plot, a predictable romance, and stock characters with painfully over-the-top idiosyncrasies. There's so much wrong with the NFS script, it's difficult to know where to start. It's a must-see for any petrolhead, just remember to leave your brain at the door.
The street races and car chases were fantastically filmed, but there were so many plotholes and inconsistencies that we've been compelled to list the most heinous ones here.

We were hoping for some entertaining silliness when we went to see the new Need For Speed movie last night, and that's exactly what we got.
