Yo Tokyo Drift is underrated af
Dont forget Keiichi Tsuchiya the Drift King cameo!

I got a kick out of that... totally didn't expect to see him fishing at the pear.

 

[Haines]

If there's anything I trust it's special preview first reactions

 

[Zasa]

Breaking his own arm for the family. Gotta respect it.

 

[badcrumble]

I can't wait for this series to get its continuity all the way up to Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick, just like Asimov's magisterially Robot/Empire/Foundation saga

Riddick's planet is called "Furia," just saying

 

[TheVBkid]

I love how everyone in these movies magically became trained special forces, when they were just small time street racers to begin with.

 

[Tcab96]

Any rumors on why Dom betrays them? I hope it's something other than they're threatening Brian and Mia.

 

[samn]

7 was so terrible that I'm extremely leary about this one. I wasn't especially crazy about 6 either, though it was a masterpiece of cinema compared to 7. Hope 8 is good!


I would start with 4 (it leads directly into 5, the best in the series, and at least in tone is a bit of a soft reboot that got us the current movies), but you should at minimum be familiar with 1's story because much of the plot is concerned with what happened there.

4 is one of the worst. Incredibly boring

 

[Discotheque]

Yeah. 4 is the one I remember absolutely nothing in it and it's for sure the worst of them.

Like at least with 2 Fast 2 Furious I got some Tyrese quotes and forget about it cuhhh

4...Nothing

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Yeah. 4 is the one I remember absolutely nothing in it and it's for sure the worst of them.

4...Nothing

"Re-routing..."

 

[5taquitos]

Is there any other series that has had this many numbered releases in theaters?

Only Bond, Star Wars, and Star Trek come to mind.

Friday the 13th, sir.

 

[5taquitos]

Friday the 13th, sir.

Aw yes, I should have stipulated "Action," there are definitely horror franchises that have had more releases.

 

[soundscream]

But is it better than Tokyo Drift?

I've had bowel movements more entertaining than Tokyo Drift.

 

[T.O.P]

3-4 are definitely the worst ones, everything else it's just pure spectacular fun, 5 being above all the others

God I can't wait for this

But is it better than Tokyo Drift?

Only good thing of 3 were the cars

 

[Daffy Duck]

Amazing.

Cannot wait to see it.

 

[Omzz]

Greatest film series ever

 

[darksagus]

We hungry

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Yeah. 4 is the one I remember absolutely nothing in it and it's for sure the worst of them.

4...Nothing

4 is forgettable and generic. It's like a set-up establishing episode before things actually get good.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Also 3 was made retroactively even better by 6. Han, the best character in the series, spouts off some forgettable words of wisdom to the main character wabaki at multiple points in Tokyo Drift. And, amazingly, all of those forgettable things about money not being as important as the people you surround yourself with are actually directly tied in to what happened to Han in 6, getting crazy amounts of money and his freedom but losing his girl.

 

[Wazzy]

Wazzy, we are BACK.

My tickets are locked in. Thursday the 13th @ 1035. ipic.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'M PICKING UP MY TICKETS SOON. HOPEFULLY DAY 1

 

[Bad_Boy]

Seeing that i barely remember 4. Its probably the worst. And the twist was seen a mile away.

 

[Brandon F]

Best F&F movie next to F5.

Truth.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Best F&F movie next to F5.

Nah, TD had some decent action scenes, but the pacing wasn't quite exciting enough when you compare it with FF6 and FF5.

 

[Veidt]

Holy shit. Tokyo Drift?
Lmaoo

 

[Matrix XII]

F&F 1 is one of the most quotable movies ever



Yooooo

Yes, it actually is lol

I must have watched that movie over 20 times.

 

[Blablurn]

I mean, I'm gonna be there Day One.

But aren't those preview opinions always super positive?

 

[big_z]

I mean, I'm gonna be there Day One.

But aren't those preview opinions always super positive?

Seems that way and with the last movie a bunch of gaffers that screened it were praising like it was the best FF movie but it ended up being garbage.

When clean impressions start popping up I hope we can get a comparison of where this sits... im hoping its like 5 and not stupid like 7.

 

[scitek]

I still think making an entire trilogy that fit between 2 and 3 was a bonkers way of doing things. Love the franchise, though.

 

[Tiberius]

It's incredible how a movie who was just a point break "remake" at the beginning became a cult serie with 8 + movies and probably better than the source material

 

[OriginofHysteria]

The only dumb thing about Tokyo drift was believing the main character was in high school.

 

[LionPride]

The only dumb thing about Tokyo drift was believing the main character was in high school.

That man was 24 and looked 40

The other dude driving a Viper in high school. ha

Doooo eeeeeeet!

The other dude driving a Viper in high school. ha

He was supposedly a rich, spoiled kid in Texas.

Eh.

 

[Lifeline]

So much FF7 hate in this thread.

Flying cars > racing cars

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

FAMILY

Spoiler

Im in.

 

[kewlmyc]

Reading this thread has gotten me interested in watching all the movies. Hopefully they're on Netflix.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

So much FF7 hate in this thread.

Flying cars > racing cars

Don't get it either. 5, 6 and 7 are all fun.

The rest I don't give a shit about.

 

[MarveI]

One of the most hypest moments I ever experienced watching a film.

 

[soundscream]

So much FF7 hate in this thread.

3rd act was a mess, but they bad to deal with Walkers death so I give them a huge pass.

 

[shintoki]

Still hungry bruh.

TD and Fast Five are still the franchise best. Justin Lin is what made the franchise.

4 is the most forgetful and dull.

 

[ramparter]

I've never seen any of these films. I don't give a shit about cars or car culture so I always assumed they weren't for me. Plus I don't like Vin Diesel in general (his Groot performance is okay).

Given these things, which of the films should I start with?

1,4,5,6,7

Damn I'd love to see this on cinema but haven't watched 7 yet.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I know it's fucked up how they got from 1 to 5+ but how did they go from 4 to 5. 4 is legitimately horrible, I was so excited when they announced the family was back but that was atrocious and then they made god damn cinematic history with 5. Doesnt make sense.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm so hyped for this.

 

[autumnleaf]

Everyone loves that Doomsday Device but it's the bit just before it that's the most hype, when they square off 2 v 2 with the epic music. People went nuts at that moment in my cinema.

 

[this_guy]

I don't want to hear that it keepings upping the amount of stupid. 7 wasn't as good as the previous 2 because of this (although jumping between skyscrapers TWICE was genius)

They should dial it back down to Fast Five's level of stupid. You know, for the realism.

Fast Five was the last movie in this franchise that I thought was good, as well as fun.

The two movies after were only fun, which is a shame.

 

[SoldierOfLight]

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

Spoiler

there is...

Don't look it's the biggest plot of the film.

Oh, I don't mind. Hit me up with some sweet, sweet spoilers, son!
