I wonder if we'll get a reference to Brian.

There are references to Brian in the trailer

What is the secret to these movies? They're dumb, like really dumb but for some reason everything just clicks. xXx: Return of Xander Cage was dumb too, but I was annoyed with that. I've enjoyed the majority of these Fast and Furious movies, outside of 2 Fast 2 Furious. There's just something special about this series' brand of dumb, I swear.

1) Likeable diverse cast with pretty decent chemistry
2) Able to attract surprisingly big names to expand the ensemble
3) No fear with completely reinventing itself to stay fresh
4) Ridiculous enough to be fun, with enough heart and "family" to make you care
5) Commitment to practical car stunts and chases

Actually my fear with 8 is that the set pieces are so over-the-top that they'll use more CGI than practical for the action

 

[Frozenprince]

They're gonna start running out of Hollywood bad guys soon.

Need JCVD in 9 and the Cruise Missile in 10.

No, Tom Hardy

Tokyo Drift is shit

The only good movies are:

1, 5, 6, 7

1. kid from Home Improvement wrecks his daddy's viper
2. Han (3rd best of the gang)
3. JDM snacks
4. Sonny Chiba (how did that happen?)
5. Toretto cameo

These are all just facts.

I'm not sure if the Volkswagen Hulk van is a plus or a minus though

 

[HiiiLife]

They're gonna start running out of Hollywood bad guys soon.

Peter Stormare is the final boss.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Nice. Best franchise going today.

I'd love another one like Tokyo Drift without Dom & the gang but ties into the universe.

 

[HStallion]

They're gonna start running out of Hollywood bad guys soon.

That's when they use CGI to insert Marlon Brando into the movie as the villain.

 

[Timu]

Fast Five and Furious Six was better than both Avengers, Civil War and likely Justice League

Half of this is false.

 

[DBT85]

There is physically no way The Rock could ever jump, let alone jump glide, that high.

This series evolved so weird.

"There is physically no way" applies to probably every scene in a Fast movie.

Don't think, just enjoy!

Likable characters

Slayven was right about you

 

[Desmond]

Any reason this film is known as simply The Fast and Furious 8 in the UK and Ireland?

 

[Schlorgan]

Need JCVD in 9 and the Cruise Missile in 10.

It's too bad we lost Philip Seymour Hoffman; he'd be pretty great in one of these.

We could still get Tom Wilkinson or Timothy Dalton, though.

 

[Lifeline]

I would change Furious 6 to 7 and I agree 100%

 

[Unison]

I hate this series, yet got suckered into seeing 2, 4, 5, and 7 due to hype or friends.

Not falling for it this time.

See you on opening weekend.

 

[ZeoVGM]

They could do better. Go Full Expendables and get Mel Gibson

Please no. I would like to watch it.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

The Rock jumps off a crate, IIRC.

 

[Unison]

See you on opening weekend.

Was it 7 that EviLore called the best American action movie in the last 10 years?

That was some shit.

 

[BossLackey]

Get hyped!

lol

I liked 5, but was pretty cold on 6 and 7. I think I'm probably skipping this series until they go to space.

 

[Punchy4486]

i am gonna skip this one. i cant remember wtf happened in the last movie. Statham disappointed too. With Han and Paul Walker gone, the series needs new blood and Statham isnt doing anything for me. The rock can only do so much.

they needed a tom cruise or another A list actor like Will Smith. I guess they went for Charlize Theron but she will be just as limited in the villain role as Statham was in the last movie.

The ONLY absolutely necessary addition is Terry Crews as the Rock's former partner, who is a corrupt thrill seeker.

 

[Unison]

I actually watched 2 due to John Singleton directing it, not hype or friends...

At least it had hilarious gay subtext.

 

[TheFlow]

Bringing the rock into the mix is honestly what made this the franchise to beat

 

[marrec]

Tokyo Drift is shit

The only good movies are:

1, 5, 6, 7

Bronson there's hot takes and then there's whatever this shit is.

Tokyo Drift is amazing.

 

[BronsonLee]

People actually like TD!?

 

[Nielm]

Hmm..I haven't seen a Fast film since Fast & Furious 2009. It was way too loud when I saw it in the cinema, it actually hurt my ears.

I liked Tokyo Drift though.

 

[icespide]

Tokyo Drift is the Thor 2 of FF movies

 

[Pagusas]

The only charecter I liked was Brian, so I dont know how much I will like this.


Serious, Paul Walkers death hit me hard. I have no clue why I liked him so much, but every role he was in, even the crappy ones, was awesome to me.

 

[Prompto]

People actually like TD!?

Introduction of Han.
It's good just from that alone.

 

[Mrbob]

I knew this would be the best when Rock and Stathem were teaming up

 

[oatmeal]

Oh fuck ya

 

[marrec]

People actually like TD!?

It's got all the well shot action of the later movies with a bit of the basics of the first movie. It's the third most enjoyable movie in the series.

 

[Pastry]

In the modern era (lol) of F&F is there a single unlikeable character? I honestly can't think of one.

 

[ZeoVGM]

People actually like TD!?

One of the best.

 

[Renpatsu]

Not surprised, The Fast and Furious franchise's frank commitment to their own absurd continuity allows audiences the opportunity to become invested in the characters' journey and retroactively adds value to the previous entries.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

People actually like TD!?

Tokyo Drift is like Persona, but with street racing and Bow Wow.

 

[BronsonLee]

SHUT UP, ROMAN

 

[Ryu1999]

1. kid from Home Improvement wrecks his daddy's viper
2. Han (3rd best of the gang)
3. JDM snacks
4. Sonny Chiba (how did that happen?)
5. Toretto cameo

These are all just facts.

I'm not sure if the Volkswagen Hulk van is a plus or a minus though

6. Nathalie Kelley :lawd:

Yesssss these are all good except for the Hulk car that was the one vehicular misstep in the film. Balanced out by having a JZX100 in the parking garage drift scene. And the entire American high school sequence was just great.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Yo Tokyo Drift is underrated af

1. kid from Home Improvement wrecks his daddy's viper

Duh


Tokyo drift is like the cult classic of the series.

 

[Falchion]

Fuck. Yes. Can't wait!

 

[Broken Joystick]

The Fast and the Furious
2 Fast 2 Furious
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Fast & Furious
Fast Five
Fast & Furious 6
Furious 7

Only thing more amazing than how the movies have evolved are all the different titles

Last two should just be called 'Fast' and 'Furious' respectively.

Legit surprised they haven't done that already.

 

[Can Crusher]

Those dvds must've been like radioactive or something.
