Scandal! Rubbish hipster fixie film encourages dangerous cycling, bike rage and more!

Behold! 'Premium Rush' the film which seems set to be next years blockbuster to end all blockbusters. From what I can tell the movie seems to be some sort of 'topgun' on bikes with with an element of 'Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdrome' thrown in for good measure. Where kids skid around the mean streets of somewhere smashing stuff with their fixies. Watch in awe as they lock their bikes really quickly to trees and have people sign for packages. I'm sure in the aftermath of this film we can all expect to be greeted by the sight of hundreds of people rampaging through the streets of Dublin smashing car windows and wing mirrors with chains. Hurray!

He looks a little like aidan.offbeat...stays about as upright as him too.

Seriously though, any movie with Dania Ramirez in it gets 3 thumbs up in my books!

More Baywatch than Bay Area, I'd have thought?

Really? That's pretty SFW in my office.

Granted I work on top of a pile of naked women, 100 of them braiding 100 lengths of my long mane of hair.

It IS the internet after all, like a great man once said to me:

"I'm never more than 2 clicks away from any porn".

I saw the scene there when one of the cyclists breaks a window with a lock. I think what you guys say is facepalm. That what I did (I think).

I don't think anyone was too worried about modified car drivers being branded highway robbers when the fast and the furious was released, so I don't think the fixie cyclists of this city have anything more to be worried about, they will always be hipster-douche-bags.

Quicksliver it ain't.

It's one of those trailers that make you feel you've seen most of the film.

It might appeal to under tens.

at least its about bikes, maybe all the boy racers will turn into hipsters

thought i saw a mtb once or twice in that trailer, could be wrong though

Saw the trailer a few days ago, mega cringe,
"I ride fixed gear no brakes", he must of been knocked down/crashed at least 3 times in the trailer. I saw photos months ago, I think Joeseph gordon levit rode a multi geared bike for most of the shoot, prob had a body double skidder. Id love to work as a courier for a week and obey the road rules/law. I bet Id still get the work down
