I found myself lingering on the small glances Walker and Diesel share, or the way Ludacris, Gibson, and Walker laugh together. There's real beauty there — something that can't be faked.
There’s something almost anthropological about these battles. In both their clashes, Statham and Diesel begin with the foreplay of crashing cars head-on, before exiting, cricking the necks then thwacking each other to bits with fists and spanners. It’s like a strange mating ritual, soundtracked by more meat-smacking than a schnitzel factory.
I could say that Furious 7 is about nothing so much as two men having sex with their cars, and by this I do not mean two men have sex separately with their own automobiles, though there’s definitely an undercurrent of that, too. I mean that two men — Diesel as the “hero” and Jason Statham (Wild Card, The Expendables 3) as the “villain,” though they’re barely distinguishable in action or motive — use their automobiles to have violent sex with each other, by crashing into each other head-on in penis-substitute vehicles not once in this movie but twice, they liked it so much the first time. And, well, some will cry, “Vin and Stath ain’t no fegs!” But c’mon! You cannot explain away the homoeroticism of the scene in which Vin grumbles that a sportscar is a “beast” that he is about to “unleash” and which he then smashes into not one but two other non-car penis substitutes. You just can’t. There’s nothing wrong with two men loving each other very much, but let’s at least be honest about it.
I'm still pretty amazed at how unironically I've enjoyed the latter FF movies.

This is a very odd franchise that started of completely boring and horrible to me then suddenly found its way half way through. I can't really think of another movie franchise that has done it this way.

I'd watch Helen Mirren in anything honestlyGOAT GILF
The opening with Stathem is one of the most hilariously over the top intros for a villain. The later FnF movies are so great because they just embrace everything. They know they are stupid, but don't care. Yet I don't even want to call them stupid because they are simply trying to be fun action movies with enjoyable characters.I know I keep saying it but I'll keep saying it anyway.

Saints Row.
Also this series' crazy adherence to continuity is respectable.
This movie was awesome and better than the last one which I thought was a bit uninspired. The elephant in the room of how they were going to deal with Paul's death gave the movie an air of tension that raised the stakes imo.No and no.
The mountain scene is incredible and the best action scene in the series along with the race to the border in 4.
Fast 6 was pretty forgettable. And spent a lot of time on an animesque wack amnesia romance revival. Cant even remember the Villain's face.
