Have you ever heard of the hit video game Road Rash, which involves ruthless punks on motorcycles? Well, Torque is the closet we’ll ever get to a movie version.
Ice Cube is so tough he can do anything on a motorcycle. Give him a map, and at 90 miles per hour he’ll open up the map, read it, and hand it back to you–without even gripping the handlebars!
And don’t get into a fight with him. He can flip himself off the ground and flat onto his back, his kicks are so powerful. Like a rocket blast.
And he never shies away from a ramp. “There’s a ramp! I’m going for it,” he says, whether he’s riding on the freeway or on top of a speeding train.
And he’s not the only one. This movie is full of tough guys. There’s a chain master that whips vending machines just to get a soda. Potato chips are popular among the other tough guys. There are even a couple of tough girls, one representing Pepsi, the other representing Mountain Dew. And when they fight—oh boy!—they know how to swing their bikes around like motorized swords! Needless to say, Mountain Dew wins the battle.
Our hero (played by Martin Henderson) says it best: “I live my life a quarter of the mile at a time.” And his friends agree—this is the stupidest thing they ever heard!
