Line 20:
* [[Chase Scene]]
* [[Cool Bike]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Or this one?]]
* [[Creator Killer]]/[[Star-Derailing Role]]: Nearly everybody involved saw their careers ruined, from lead actor Martin Henderson (who was an up-and-coming star at that point) to director Joseph Kahn (whom it was thought was the next [[Michael Bay]]). The only ones to make it out in one piece were producer Neal Moritz and [[Ice Cube]], and even the latter has developed a [[Rated "G" for Gangsta]] reputation since.
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: Three guesses as to whether Shane and Henry's black leather-clad girlfriend engage in a [[Narm|uproariously]] unrealistic [[Car Fu|duel]] '''[[Car Fu|with]]''' [[Car Fu|their bikes]].
* [[Groin Attack]]
Line 36:
* [[Rule of Cool]]
* [[Rule of Fun]]: The most likely justification for the overwhelming unrealisticity.
* [[Shout
** Much like the similarly disparaging [[Shout
* [[Stealth Parody]]: According to [http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/08/the-filmcast-after-dark-ep-98-the-making-of-torque-and-the-imagery-of-kick-ass-guest-joseph-kahn-director-of-torque/ Joseph Kahn himself] and to recent interviews with Adam Scott (who plays an FBI agent), the movie was mostly intentional in its ridiculousness. Kahn assumes 75% of the movie he wanted to make was in the final effort and that the lack of physics and the general over-the-top nature was entirely intended.
* [[Vapor Trail]]: Probably one of the most ridiculous examples ever shown in film. The fire can chase down a bike said to have a top-speed of 200 mph.
