Term Joyride Meaning

In the paragraph, 'Alternative Titles of the Film', on the main page it states that the term 'Joyride' means a pleasant ride in the country in the U.S. and means auto theft in other countries.

I am from the U.S., Ohio, and it has always meant car thieves stealing a car and taking it for a ride. Is there any reference to back up the other claims? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.213.115 (talk) 18:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What was the joke?

What was the joke that these kids do? Must have been a lot to get a trucker that PO'ed...67.150.2.233 05:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They pretended that one of them was a woman and arranged at meeting at a motel room were another male character was staying who had also a run in with the kids. This annoyed Rusty Nail.

Inaccuracies?

This movie is supposed to be set in Wyoming, and mentions several towns correctly, however Paul Walker calls the police and asks for the sheriff of Rawlins County. There is no such county in Wyoming. He also mentions that he needs to talk to the police in Table Rock, Wyoming however, this town is in Sweetwater County and the town is too small to support a police force. It is maintained by the Wyoming Highway Patrol, which would have been the first choice to call. I know that this is just a movie, and I'm aware it's fiction, but at least they could have done a little more research on town and county names. Milonica (talk) 00:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Internet not in common use in 1999?

The article states: "Although the internet was certainly around in 1999, it was still not yet in common use among the public." Perhaps that's stretching it a bit. I don't think it's anachronistic to have a character in a movie set in 1999 who knows about the Internet. Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon.com) was named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 1999. --Keith111 (talk) 02:46, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the "dot-com bubble" was supposed to have burst in 2000. --Keith111 (talk) 02:55, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I had the internet in the fifth grade in 1995. 64.47.148.150 (talk) 00:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone please edit that garbage out, as soon as I read it I stopped reading the article and came to the talk page to see if anyone has said anything. We were using the internet in school in 95, with kids telling me I need to get it, and my low-class, latino family from the inner city of Chicago got internet in '98. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.215.225.162 (talk) 03:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
