Alright, I haven't been excited for a F&F like this for a while. Statham is going to be a kickass baddie.

i'm high school buddies with Paul Walker's little brother. After Paul died he filled in for the scenes they needed to finish the movie. He's a great dude and Paul was always super nice too. It's a tragedy that Paul died. I haven't seen any of the films since 2, but i'll definitely see this one out of respect for Paul. The first one really was a guilty pleasure of every car guy of our generation.

Dude you have to catch up on them. Drift was ok, but 4 and on are just great

I won't lie, I'll prob tear up when they do the funeral scene.

I was under the impression they were retiring the character, not killing him off. Where did you hear about his funeral scene?

Gearhead, the second movie was far & away the worst in the series. I think you'll enjoy the rest of the series.

Coulda sworn I saw some footage a while back with them at a funeral for Spilner. Must be going crazy in my old age.

Drift was great...I think it resurrected the F&F franchise after that horrible film called 2F2F.

theronin

Agreed it's better than 2, but without 2 we wouldn't have Tyrese, and what is a FnF move without Tyrese?!?!?

He hangry

As someone who's never seen any of them past 2, this is some ridiculous shit lol. Holy hell. I need to watch the intermediates to figure out how the hell it's gotten to this point.

gearhead55

damn i guess i do have to catch up. i'll add the series to my must-watch list

theronin

If my memory serves me correct didn't the director of drift also direct 4-6? He really took the franchise in a much more "mature" direction. And I use the term mature very loosely when dealing with this franchise.

Definitely not feeling the trailer. Now i actually feel like they should have never finished this movie.


The hunger game trailer is more exciting then this one and I've been a F&F fan since day one

Yep. Justin Lin took over with Tokyo Drift & you can tell actual enthusiasts were involved with just about every element of that movie so it featured a much higher degree of technical accuracy in regard to car talk versus the first movie.

He also matured the series by taking it to more of a typical action movie route rather than alienating potential audiences who just give ZERO fucks about street racers.

Now they're pretty much just action movies that feature a lot of cool cars. But it does disturb me that Justin Lin, the savior of the series, is no longer involved with its development. But it'll have a solid month of so to make it's money before Avengers 2 drops & crushes everything else in theaters.

Is it just me or does Paul walkers face at the end look a little digitally enhanced? Maybe that was one of his brothers standing in and to show what they did to alter their look.

Exactly how I feel. I don't see how car people are even remotely entertained lol. Its so cheesy, yet they try to act so real. It's like a movie equivalent of a wigger. Not to mention, the shit is so damn unrealistic, that its not entertaining at all. But when you look at the entertainment industry as a whole, I guess douchebaggery is the new in thing. Seems like its been this way since 2000.

this proves the point lol.



I caught the last 30 minutes of number 6 I believe it was. I don't know, had the rock in it. This chic's house I crashed at, she turned it on. I was like is this the fast n furious, she was like yea. I was like, I thought people said these got better than the 1st one. Still the same cheesiness. By the time it was over, she was like yea, it is pretty gay isn't it lol.
