Everyone said the Fast 7 trailer spoiled the movie. Guess what? In the trailer they jumped between two buildings in Dubai. In the movie they jumped three. It's a significant difference.

And Dom deadlifted that car.

I FORGOT HE DEADLIFTED THE FUCKING CAR!

God I love that movie. Rewatching it tonight for sure.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Looks like The Rock is just barely in this one too. Bleah.

 

[bigboss370]

I love how Dom just completely owns everyone. I'm down for the entire movie to be only that.

 

[BronsonLee]

Looks like The Rock is just barely in this one too. Bleah.

Pretty sure he's gonna be in it a lot, but mostly to beat up Statham and Diesel

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

F&F franchise is ridiculous now. That's not for me anymore. FF7 was absurd as well, not sure how that made 1.6B WW, to be honest. I think I only really liked the 1st one and the 4th one in this franchise. Just like with FF7, I will watch this on a saturday night on a red box rental.

Someone please bring back Gone in 60 seconds and make it about car and car heisting without relying on super hero like shit.

 

[BkMogul]

I was wondering before-hand what the big set piece was going to be. Can't really argue with a fucking SUMBMARINE. I'm in all for the bat-shit craziness I've come to expect from this franchise.

 

[NastyBook]

Nah she landed in the same manhole that he slipped out of before his car blew up in Tokyo

Or she fucking landed on a goddamn air mattress or some bullshit because you don't even see her die, she just disappears into the cold embrace of darkness

That was all Vin. "You're gonna get Pitch Black'd," he told her.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The Rock damn well better get his revenge for that ludicrous L he took in Fast Five.

He should single-handedly stop the sub, like Raiden in MGS4.

 

[Maximo]

If someone wants to get in the series having only watched the first should I start from the 1 again or if there a midway point I can jump into?

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Average talent, exceptional look actors and Michelle Rodriguez use cars to steal stuff. Girls asses often fill the frame. Family is mentioned a bunch. You see 1 FF movie you've seen them all.

I live my life a quarter-second ass shot at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those 10 frames or less, I'm free.

 

[Dominator]

Start from the beginning. 7 movies seems daunting but even if you watch one a week you'll be caught up before this comes out.

 

[Jack Scofield]

You can honestly just start at 5. There's a fan favorite character who makes his first appearance in 3, but that movie is really skippable.

 

[Schlorgan]

I was pretty confused about the direction the series took until I looked into it and found out that the writer of 3-8 is Chris Morgan (who wrote Wanted). Then it all made sense.

 

[Brakke]

Start in at 4 or 5. 1 and 2 are definitely skippable. 4 is probably skippable.

3 (Tokyo Drift) is the secret linchpin of the series. Most of the later movies are actually prequels to Tokyo Drift. Which is awesome, but only really matters for one character. You shouldn't skip it, but you probably can.

1 is not skippable, Vin and Paul's friendship makes no sense without it and it's a legit good movie anyway.

 

[matrix-cat]

1 and 2 were practice runs. Fast and the Furious starts at 3, and then starts again even harder at 5.

 

[Keikaku]

This series is my not-so-guilty pleasure. It's so stupidly unapologetic in how 80's American Action Movie it is and I love it all the more for that.

I'm there on Day 1 lol

Well 1-3 are thematically grouped together, as are 5-7. 4 is the outlier that is the most skipable. 1 and 5 are the best movies. 1 & 2 are the most quoteable. 6-7 they turn into super heros. 5 is a great heist movie. 3 has han which has the best JDM snacks. It is x-men family with cars.

Watch 1 3 5 6 7
Then 2 if you want quotable cheese.
Then 4 if you want to fall asleep.

Correct opinion. 1 and 5 are by far the best.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Start from the beginning and skip nothing.

That's the right way.

 

[Brakke]

Lol nah. "Brian was a cop and then he fell in love with Vin's sister and then they were friends" is pretty easy to pick up on.

Do they even ever mention that Brian was FBI after 4?

 

[matrix-cat]

Then 4 if you want to fall asleep.

If you skip 4 you wouldn't understand any part of the gut-wrenchingly emotional 'Lettie is back from the dead with amnesia' arc, so that's clearly not an option. Some of the finest story-telling of our time.

Do they even ever mention that Brian was FBI after 4?

I'm pretty sure they've forgotten that The Rock was ever a cop, let alone Brian

 

[Sunster]

god i love this series. they'll be in space 5 years from now you watch..

 

[TheAbsolution]

I have the biggest smile on my face right now.

I just need the Rock to have more screen time in this one. Please.

Also, this is basically Saints Row The Movie.

 

[3N16MA]

Didn't enjoy F7 as much as F5 and F6.

However now they have a sub which is a step in the right direction.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I like the idea of Statham joining the team

 

[norm9]

I've been dreaming ever since he died that they find a way of bringing back Han. With Statham joining the crew, the dream is one step closer to reality. No way they accept him into the fold if Han is for sure dead.

 

[SolidChamp]

This looks like the stupidest thing ever and I love it.

This looks like the stupidest thing ever.

 

[Sesha]

That was hilarious.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Wait a minute. Kurt Russell and his black suits are the real bad guys aren't they? Dom's trying to get at Kurt Rusell, but for some reason he needs to get in deep with Charlize Theron. Everyone else is safe as long as they're working with Kurt and his agents so Dom doesn't wanna compromise their positions.

"For some reason"

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I can't believe theres a submarine chase. This series is the ultimate. I remember when the first one came out and I was excited for it, but I never would have believed here I am like 15 years later getting pumped.

 

[AudioEppa]

I left the last movie with mixed emotions because of the obvious reason (PW) which I believed made me not really like the movie, I have to watch it again to give it a second chance.

With that being said..

The group is now chilling with the guy who killed their friend? I don't give a shit about jumping in the shark with action sequences, whatever it's a blockbuster movie, But no matter how they can spin it, that is bad writing.


Now the waiting game until April.

 

[Androidsleeps]

WTF was that? I fail to see how this is more "entertaining" than cheesy and stupid.
Is Helen Mirren in this, or is she in the next one?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Kurt is really Ego, the living planet. They are building to the crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy.

 

[Professor Beef]

Fuck, I wanna see how Dom & the Gang deal with Ultron hijacking some of their cars.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Fuck, I wanna see how Dom & the Gang deal with Ultron hijacking some of their cars.

They teach Ultron about the importance of family. The film ends with Ultron building Jocasta.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I would have no problem if Fast n Furious cross over into Infinity War.

dat dom groot nod

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Roman took out a guy on a snowmobile with the door from a Lamborghini Murcielago.

 

[kyser73]

There was nothing in that trailer that wasn't ridiculous and awesome.

 

[Bishop89]

I'm not sure they could write anything that would make me believe that Dom would go against his crew

This is whats raising flags for me lol. What the hell is going on is all i am thinking, especially with Statham joining forces with the crew!!



It still looks like heaps of fun, and i havent been disappointed with a FF movie yet (except Tokyo drift, that just blows).

 

[TheStruggler]

looks like this would have been the perfect for a face off between dom and paul walkers character, rip mr walker

 

[vinnygambini]

Do not skip 2 Fast 2 Furious

It's too good to pass. I mean just look at Luda's hairdo! You can't miss that!

F4 is bad though, so throw it in the skip pile.

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

As long as it's a fun, wild ride like the last three movies, I'm always down for more Fast and Furious films.

Spoiler

Though I have to agree with those laughing about how the previous film held emphasis about family...and then it's now FAMILY NO MORE!!!!1

Though technically, it only looks like it's just Dom is betraying the team for someone else, and they're all gearing together (with apparently even the support of last film's enemy Jason Statham! lmao) to stop him?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Jesus, if you would've told me we'd be up to fucking 8 F&F by now and theres 2 more fucking planned after this, I would've just committed you to an insane asylum for losing grip on reality, yet here we are

This is pure Blockbuster, turn off your brain for 2 hours and enjoy the ride
You just tell your brain to shut the fuck up Homer Simpson style, and just *drool*


Also Space = 10

9 is literally setup to be M.A.S.K.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Z1yLO9C-Q

MASK Crusaders coming yo', watch out V.E.N.O.M.



11 will be reboot, raking place in the future

C.O.P.S.
"Fighting Crime in a Future Time"

Give me Buttons McBoomBoom & Nightshade please

 

[Dishwalla]

"I will beat you like a Cherokee drum!"

lol are you fucking serious? Had no issues with the trailer until that stupid ass line.

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

This looks like the stupidest thing ever.

I dunno, Transformers: The Last Knight has Excaliber as a TF sword, a hydra-headed dragon Transformer, Nazis/Civil War connections, (apparently) Unicron, and Evil Optimus Prime. That's gonna be pretty hard to top.

 

[deleted]

Finally they are embracing the dragon balls!

Piccolo already joined the team and now we're at the point where Goku's body got snatched and the team needs Vegeta to turn good and help them out.

Looks like they are finally throwing everything that held them grounded since 5 overboard. 6 and 7 were uneven because of that, this looks evenly ridiculous now. Day one.

 

[TheStruggler]

I love that The Rock is in his mid-40's and he's like a full 50% bigger than he ever was as a young pro wrestler. Dude could practically stand in for MCU Hulk now.

 

[- J - D -]

Who did Theron kidnap to force Diesel to work for her?

Looks great.
