I love riding my motorcycles and ride them in all weather conditions all year round! 5. Motorcycle Gear Looks Cool To help keep manufacturing costs down Ford used its Cortina’s platform as a base for designing the Capri. When the finished product arrived, it came with leaf springs and drum brakes at the rear and disc brakes mounted to MacPherson struts upfront. Importantly for many drivers, a four-speed manual gearbox was also on hand. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra features a Powered Armor Car Chase through Paris, an underwater dog fight, and Snake Eyes. In the "making of" commentary on the DVD, one crew member attributes the mantra (loosely paraphrased) "overdo everything; then make it even bigger" to director Stephen Sommers, and says that they were reminded of this policy daily during the production of the film. The Negi vs. Rakan fight. The ridiculous lengths that it goes to ( Negi reveals that he is not left handed five times in a single chapter) would just be overkill if it weren't so freaking awesome.

Aleph: One of the things that Game Theory has as a major theme is that Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs, and that doing something crazy-awesome and insane... is crazy and insane, and doesn't have to work just because it's the hero doing it. Inside, it’s much the same desirable yet classy affair as the outside. The large, thin steering wheel, big round dials and subtle touches of chrome all work together to ooze sophistication. Countless famous faces have owned 280SLs, including the likes of John Lennon and Kate Moss. Laura Tenison, managing director of JoJo Maman Bebe. Pictured at the Newport JoJo Maman Bebe offices.

My Bride is a Mermaid plays this for laughs. When ever a character wants to appear cool or impressive they Art Shift into a Kenshiro clone complete with Battle Aura. The creation of the Indominus Rex is a deconstruction of this trope. They wanted a bigger, badder, tougher, and smarter dinosaur than T. Rex or Velociraptor...but what they got was a psychotic hybrid hell-bent on destruction, and It Can Think as well!

Of scientific laws that this trope circumvents, the third law of motion is probably the most frequently revoked, with the Square-Cube Law probably a close second. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is third and a mention has to go to the laws of relativity, which prevent us from attaining Faster-Than-Light Travel and going to a distant planet in just a few hours. Any car with an association with Ayrton Senna immediately gets some cool rubbed off on it, and the fact the legendary F1 driver helped develop the NSX in the latter stages of its design only adds to its kudos. Fist of the North Star, if examined with a critical eye, would collapse under the weight of its Fridge Logic... if not for how it essentially created the Rule Of Cool-based Shōnen series. It's hard to complain about the implausibility of the premise when you're trying to retrieve your jaw following the fight scenes. Buso Renkin: Captain Bravo freely admits that his odd mannerisms and Large Ham public persona due to his belief that things are "cooler that way!"

It is pure coincidence that we round off this list with a fifth French car (we did warn you this rundown was esoteric – if you’re after logic and reason, may we suggest a sudoku?), and the only uncool thing about the Teardrop is that it is so rare and desirable that when one does come up for sale, it will inevitably command an eight-figure price. In the same vein, DOUBLE K, the buddy cop version of the anime, combines how Rule Of Cool driven both types of shows are.

The aspect of motorcycles that first catches the attention of many people is their unmistakable sound. From the scream of a high revving superbike to the thumping power of a touring bike, each bike has a sound that makes you turn your head to look when you hear it. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World : Why do all of Ramona's evil exes meet some requirement of video game boss style, explode into coins when defeated, and everyone naturally is just that good at martial arts? So that when Scott wins the girl, it's really cool. Cowboy Bebop can be very confusing if taken on surface value, with only five episodes needed to tell the full narrative. Despite this fact, the entire twenty-six episodes remains a standard of great anime for it's smoothness, filmic style, well choreographed action sequences. This is only one element that enabled the show to succeed. This song from the film Sivaji: The Boss. As this blog post puts it, "the waycool approach is to ride up, while napping, on a motorcycle that you drive with your feet, dismount by means of wheelie on the front tire, and shoot the bad guys with a machinegun hidden in your guitar. Then the stunningly attractive Bollywood actress will sing and dance with you."They have some other Eagle-themed wall art. Even a Thomas Kinkade painting looks awesome when reproduced on the outstretched wings of a large Eagle sculpture . Let’s not beat around the bush, BMW’s E30 M3 is a legend. It was launched as a race car for the road, but it wasn’t a nightmare to live with because it was still a relatively practical coupe – albeit faster than most other cars on the road. There's no reason that turbo duels have to be played on motorcycles in Yu Gi Oh5ds. The format works just as well when played on a table. The anime pays lip service to it being important by stating that the more speed counters you have the faster you can go, but going faster has no tangible effect on the gamestate. This seminal hardman was conceived in the same year as our other plastic-fantastic cool cat, the Swatch – but while the Swiss were pioneering precision injection moulding, the Japanese were striving to pass their own self-conceived ‘triple 10’ test: water resistance to 10 bar (about 100m), a 10-year battery life, and most importantly, the ability to survive a 10 metre drop onto a hard surface, unscathed and working perfectly.

Postal the movie. From a notoriously bad director, based on a non-politically correct game, starring unknowns and having a ridiculous plot, all of which is redeemed by a constant onslaught of "how in the hell did they get away with this; this is unbelievably cool". Synchro is the ultimate doubles technique, during which doubles partners enter a trance-like state and are perfectly in tune with each other... and their eyes become swirling vortexes of color.It was both massively ahead of its time and very much of its time. Production models first started arriving in 1978 and they were awash with futuristic electronics, such as touch-sensitive buttons on the dashboard. Unfortunately, some of this technology was known to have reliability troubles – which is very much period correct for some British cars. This is because once their leathers dry out and the weather gets better, the thrill of getting in the saddle again makes the bad memories of bad weather fade into insignificance. One example, pointed out by Bob Gale on a DVD Commentary, occurs in the third film. Doc and Marty try to get the DeLorean up to eighty-eight miles per hour by pulling it with horses. Gale pointed out that the Doc would know horses don't run that fast and the Doc even points that out in the scene. However, the filmmakers had to do that shot with the DeLorean being ridden across Monument Valley like a covered wagon because it would look cool. Maserati hasn't had a true supercar since the departure of the MC12 in the mid-2000s. But now the Italian brand has returned to form with the arrival of the mid-engined MC20. A stunning and stylish two-door, the MC20 gets a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet, giving the sports car a 0-to-62 mile-per-hour sprint of just 2.9 seconds. Tooyama Kintaro's Super Ultra Great Delicious Daisharin Yamaarashi is about as realistic as you would imagine from the name.
