2 Fast 2 Furious is a hidden gem in the series. People have come around on Tokyo Drift but I can never forget how amazing 2 Fast was at the theaters. By far the funniest movie in the franchise and I'm glad Fast Five didn't skip over this one when assembling the crew. I can't help but think of Tyrese whenever someone mentions that they're hungry.

The only one I'd never recommend anyone to watch is 4. Which isn't an awful movie, just a terribly unmemorable one.

While 4 is the worst of the series because of its lack of cool cars, it IS necessary watching because of the amnesia angle that carries into the next one.

 

[RedAssedApe]

People actually like TD!?

it was entertaining. at the very least it was better than the second movie

nah 4 is totally skippable. there are plenty of flash backs and exposition in fast 6 to catch people up

 

[SixMachine]

I can see this man going one on one with Thanos.

And winning.

The Rock would be a perfect Gladiator. When your superpower is believing how much of a boss you are, the Rock fits that to a tee.

 

[DerangedHermit]

Can't wait for the Transformers to show up in Fast & Furious 10.

 

[WarMacheen]

Completely not surprised that people love it. I miss Paul

Best F&F movie next to F5.

 

[mdubs]

Going to be amazing when the crew takes the power of family into space in F10 to save the world

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

First impressions should never be trusted, but these sound even less valuable than usual.

 

[Guzim]

Tokyo Drift has a great soundtrack.

These first impressions don't sound too overly glossy.

It feels like they are measuring them against other F&F entries.

 

[Ashhong]

It makes absolutely no sense how that turned into this

You are channeling Bobby with that post formatting. He would be proud

 

[Prompto]

Tokyo Drift has a great soundtrack.

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW
HOW THEY LIVE IN TOKYO

I remember my buddy in middle school used to play that damn song all the time.

 

[marrec]

Best F&F movie next to F5.

So the thread agrees:

Im ready Family!!

This is the best song on the soundtrack: https://youtu.be/LYUoYs_Dzd8

Tokyo Drift is dope. Drift dates are silly in the best way; Han is the best character in anything ever; mad props for putting a bunch of manly, attractive Asian dudes on screen; walks the line between tourist-y and respectful of Tokyo; great soundtrack.

It's for sure corny and there's some terrible acting (the love interest girl is y i k e s), but the heart of Tokyo Drift is really in the right place, and it cares about things most cool dude action movies don't.

 

[Brakke]

Plus how cool is Sonny Chiba in that white suit?? (So cool.)

Movie probably sucks but all I want is a Rock/Stathem buddy cop movie and I'm all good.

 

[Amon37]

THEY STARTED AS MOVIES ABOUT PEOPLE STEALING VHS TAPES AND DVDS WHILE DRAG RACING

Don't forget about the tuna sandwich.

 

[deadscreensky]

Man, all this hate for 4, while I remember digging it quite a bit. It wasn't amazing, but I had fun with it. (Paul Walker did a really nice job, and Justin Lin obviously knows his stuff.) I guess I should rewatch it, see if my opinion has changed.

Fast Five is definitely better, of course, but it's also basically the second half of 4.

 

[BronsonLee]

Oh no.

But ya, it's funny that people don't like 4 a lot, considering we needed that to get to Fast Five

 

[jdstorm]

4-6 sort of act as a complete trilogy. I usually call it the Letty Lost trilogy or the Wonder Woman trillogy. FAST4 is absolutely essential viewing.

 

[Archpath1]

I'm hongry

This franchise is crazy, such a turnaround
Can't wait


I'm just waiting for them to shout.
SHIFT INTO TURBO!

 

[ElyrionX]

The Rock is so much more charismatic thab fucking Vin Diesel. They should put him front and center. He had the best lines in the previous movie while Vin Diesel's lines were mostly cheesey.

 

[Laughing Banana]

So is this gonna be their "last job" again? lol.

 

[v1lla21]

Greatest franchise on Earth just got better

 

[Selddon]

better than civil war

 

[marrec]

GET THE JPEG

I don't need to prove what we already know in our hearts.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

$2 billion.

Next one to be set in space.

 

[HStallion]

$2 billion.

Next one to be set in space.

James Cameron will direct it and it has Vin and crew being unfrozen in the far future where they are tasked with stealing all the Unobtanium from Pandora as well as teaching those giant smurfs about what family is really about.

 

[BackLogJoe]

Wouldnt it be great if they just went Saints Row with this? Give everyone super powers in the next one? lol. Just turn it up to 11.

 

[RoninChaos]

When is this out?

 

[Timu]

When is this out?

April 14th.

 

[firelogic]

5 was the best. It's been on a decline since then and I think the trend is going to continue with 8 based on the "dom's a traitor" angle which is obviously not true. Oh look, he didn't betray the family after all. He was just protecting us! Family hug!

So what? It's about the journey, the character interactions, the stunts.
Doesn't matter that we know Dom isn't really betraying them willingly.

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

Tokyo Drift has a great soundtrack.

Not to get off topic but last April when I visited tokyo my friend wanted to look at the museums and beautiful shit. Mranwhile I wanted to visit the locations where Tokyo drift was shot at lol. When he wanted to go and look for old video games I went looking for the Teriyaki Boyz Albums. Got all three 👍👍 I was kinda disapointed at shibuya crossing thought it'd be bigger and more people. That's the scene where they drift through the crowd right?

I agree.

The reviews/impressions were really positive for F7 and I thought that was really weak, so I'll hold off on this.

100% no.
If Dwayne Johnson takes over this franchise I guarantee the fans will leave.

 

[BadAss2961]

100% no.

The 5-7 fans? Nah. For the most part, I think they're happy with each movie ramping up the ridiculousness.

The real OG's know Walker was the glue to this franchise anyway.

 

[B33]

I am going to marathon all of these movies one day.

 

[Brazil]

Of course the follow-up to the best picture in the best action film series of all time is great.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

As long as they keep making them, I am so in for more from the FFCU.

Now we need spin-offs.

Dom Toretto origin story - First Of The Furious

 

[Shadow780]

But is it better than Tokyo Drift?

 

[Brakke]

$2 billion.

Next one to be set in space.

In Chronicles of Riddick, Vin plays a member of the "Furyan" race. Clearly, the Fate of the Furious is to launch off to another planet and establish a new subspecies of attractive racers.

 

[twinturbo2]

They need to get John Cena or Stone Cold Steve Austin for the next movie.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Glad to see this series is still holding on strong. Cant believe this one is the start of a trilogy! Do we know who the characters are that are going to continue into the next few?

Remember seeing the original in theaters for the first time. My friends and I at the time went back to see it the next night lol. This series really has come such a long way.
