HOLLYWOOD—In response to public outcry by motor vehicle associations, theaters across the country pulled the film Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw Friday following reports of the on-set mistreatment of cars. “We could no longer in good conscience continue distributing this film after watching secret video footage, which showed the production company inflicting cruel physical punishment on dozens of cars, breaking windows, smashing headlights, and repeatedly slamming the poor vehicles against walls,” said Universal Pictures president Jimmy Horowitz, promising that the studio would not tolerate the vicious abuse endured by the Corvettes, Mustangs, and Broncos prominently featured throughout the movie. “Learning that these beautiful cars were subjected to such inhumane working conditions made me sick to my stomach. This cannot stand. Audiences deserve a fun action movie, not the reckless endangerment of innocent vehicles, many of which were less than a year old. Unfortunately, there’s evidence that many of the actors were very rough with these cars, forcing them off cliffs and ramming them with trucks. I’ll never forget the sight of a battered Aston Martin with a busted axle that they just abandoned in the middle of nowhere.” At press time, the film’s director David Leith denied accusations that the production cruelly kept cars locked inside hot, dark spaces with poor ventilation and little room to move.

I am glad this was pulled! Sleezy, unscrupulous car sales lots everywhere are over-populated with cars in need of good homes, such as some guy's back yard under a tarp until next spring when he 'gets around to it'...but THIS is how Hollywood treats them?!

Apparently a Honda CRV got assaulted in a studio garage by a few of the Teamster's Ford F-250's. It reportedly ended after a couple of blown gaskets and a lube job. The suspects sped off afterwards and have yet to be apprehended.

disgusting honestly.

WTF Kind of news is this.

Better be nice, they are going to start driving u places soon...

I knew it!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why I own a truck, stockier breed 😏

This is bad, very bad. Over very bad. Now the cars will start their own MeToo BS. Scary

Don't this cars have full coverage insurance? 😂😂😂 Or are they high risk for coverage?

It's true. I identify as a car and was molested.

He can feel pain.

I heard it was Tyrese still mad about fast 9 getting delayed that mistreated the cars .

I refuse to watch this movie due to the lack of LGBTQ cars in it.

Hilarious.

wtf who cares about cars they have no feelings

That’s not funny.

When will the MeToot movement finally accelerate? How much fuel does it take? It's time to stop looking in the rearview mirror, and start the engines of progress.

Kevin Pollak told by Christopher Walken to stop impersonating him at Sardis in NYC in a tense and downright offensive showdown earlier yesterday . Pollak told Walken he was washed up and bizarre and then Walken beat the shit out of him and then walked out on his Bill . Sad.

Ha ha well if they used sentient tesla I'd have understood but really 😕😕😕

Didn't realize metal and rubber could feel pain. Learn something new daily.

How dare they. Someone’s gonna sue.

I'll give it a laugh 😂 😂😂😂😂 and raise ya a bring on the memes 😂 😅😅😅😅

This is fake

Next headline: Car sues movie production company

Too bad they didn't mistreat any Tacomas

RoomiesBetter

JoshCripps Poor cars!

'endured by the Corvettes, Mustangs, and Broncos'... 🤔 I thought Statham only drove Audi's...

From what I've read I presumed it was pulled due to gross cruelty to the art of cinema.

They actually recorded it. Them sick bastards.

MikeWardca welcome to 2040 fellas

Cars lives matter

Mistreatment of viewers more like.

Brian_Tallerico have you heard about this?

ladystardust25

Don’t even get me started

Tsk. They should be ashamed of themselves.

'When you're a star, you can do anything to cars.' Hobbs & Shaw to Access Hollywood

Amazing! I got 17.5567 BTC ! Thanks

Some of them were endangered species.

Finally got them

I'd pay for 90 minutes of Rock and Statham taking it in turns to punch Tyrese Gibson

Did all your creative writers transfer to TheBabylonBee?

AI rights are human rights!

as an owner of a car, I condemn this

I'd guess more a mistreatment of everyone's eyes, rather than cars, but took them long enough.

Pussy ass liberals. Back in the GOOD OL' DAYS you could do whatever you wanted in movies. Herbie the love bug didn't even mind that he got beat up. Ever since the Bus in Speed died everyone wants cars to be 'safe' in movies 🙄

All Bumpers Matter!!

CarLivesMatter

As a car fan, this sickens me.

Several Mustangs had to be put down.

Wait until you find out what we did inside of them.

Straight up Auto abuse
