Well....yeah....you got a point....
But I was amazed how true to real life the story was in F&F 2(well the mini film between F&F1 and F&F2).
He runs from authorities, then sees a dusty "old" R34 in some backyard car dealers, then street races to build it up (beating a Ferrari in the process no less).
And ends up in Miami, where the first thing that walks by his car are some really hot bikini models.
There is no cliches at all, sounds like an average real life story to me....
