Has something for everyone, so long as everyone wants their action supercharged.

This new entry will only add mightily to the good fortunes of Universal's biggest franchise; no matter how silly and outlandish the action gets -- and it does become ridiculous -- it also delivers the goods its audience expects.

Once you're hooked to its towbar, it's hard to let go.

To date, I have seen The Fast and the Furious. Part 1. That ends now.

Starting today, I'm beginning a marathon viewing of The Bore's favorite testosterone drenched bromantic comedy. I'm going to watch the whole thing, every nos-soaked, engine-exploding, shirtless-Paul Walker quarter mile (including the special Extended Edition of Fast 5 where Vin Diesel and Paul Walker finally do it) culminating in the release of Fast & Furious 6 next week (for which I now have 5 Fandango movie passes for).

And yes, I will come at you, bro. 

[ManaByte]

Fast 6 will be the best movie of the summer until Man of Steel.

[Great Rumbler]

Fast 5 was amazing, enough so for me to see at least two more entries in the series sight-unseen.

[ManaByte]

Stay through the credits!

I have never seen a Fast and Furious movie before. BUT I have all 5 of the blurays waiting on my shelf to watch sometime in the near future.

[Himu]

The even number Fast movies tend to be the worst but I'm excited.

[StealthFan]

Got the CAM. Cuts off before the credits...

Watch along with me, Yeti. You can be the Paul Walker to my Vin Diesel anytime. 

The Fast and the Furious

YEEESSSS! So many lingering glances, so much unfulfilled sexual tension, so many great lines!

"I smell....shanks. Why don't you girls pack up and leave before I leave my treadmarks on your face."

"You can have any beer you want...as long as it's a Corona. This is premium stuff, enjoy it."

"You can get yourself a cheese burger and fries for $2.99, phaggot!"



"Nice car. What's the retail on one of those?"
"More than you can afford pal. Ferrari."

Fast 1

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I was liking these movies before they were cool

Saw 2, 4, 5, and soon 6 in the theaters, usually opening weekend.  Can't wait.

[ManaByte]

Tokyo Drift is a direct to video movie accidentally released in theaters.

[Himu]

Tokyo Drift is a direct to video movie accidentally released in theaters.

Tokyo Drift is the best Fast movie that emphasizes the "racing" part of the franchise. gtfo.

[bork]

I just couldn't get over a movie calling itself "TOKYO DRIFT" having like no Japanese people in the main cast.   

BTW, the post-credits scene in Fast 6 not only

spoiler (click to show/hide)

sets up for the next movie but also ties Fast 6 to Tokyo Drift.

[cool breeze]

Fast 6 trailer ruined Iron Man 3 and Star Trek.  Theater experienced peaked before the main feature starts.

When it played before Iron Man 3, that bit where the black guy says "now we work for the hulk?", a kid in the audience yelled out "IS THIS AVENGERS 2!?"  As if Avengers 2 could look that good.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Wait wait this is legit good again like 1?

One of the big things about Fast series is that it always has a multi racial cast. Plus there was main dudes gf and the drift king was Japanese so I dunno what you're even talking about.

Fast Five is great, breh.

She wasn't Japanese, she's actually from Peru, and the main drift king was Korean.

[Himu]

Oh right. I still don't see why it matters

[ManaByte]

Watching 2 Fast 2 Furious right now.

[Himu]

You mean the worst Fast movie?

[Verdigris Murder]

If Vin Diesel ever had an enforced sex-change he would have a very easy transition.

[chronovore]

But difficult pronunciation.

"You never turn your back on family" sounded like "Nnn nrn rrn ah nn rnr-eeh."

[Joe Molotov]

2 Fast 2 Furious

I didn't realize John Singleton directed this movie. Fresh off his success(?) with Baby Boy, he brought back his muse Tyrese to try to fill the Vin Diesel-shaped hole in Paul Walker's heart, but it just was not to be. It's got some pretty nice driving, but that's pretty much it. Tyrese was hongry, but this movie wasn't much of a meal.

5/10

[Himu]

Tokyo Drift next

[bork]

Oh right. I still don't see why it matters

Again-

I just couldn't get over a movie calling itself "TOKYO DRIFT" having like no Japanese people in the main cast.

It's just funny to me is all.  But it turns out that Brian Tee (DK) is actually half-Korean, half-Japanese.  So there's that!   

I keep wondering how it is that whenever American movies have Japanese characters, they're never played by Japanese people.  Like the movie Ninja Assassin, for example- featuring JAPANESE NINJA ASSASSIN RAIZO- Played by Korean actor Rain.  And Storm Shadow -heir to secret Japanese ninja clan Thomas Arashikage- in the G.I. Joe movies, is played by Korean actor Lee Byung-hun.

Definitely the low point.  It's all uphill until Fast 5 puts it directly in your butt.

do you have this yet joe

[Joe Molotov]

I will when it drops to $5.

[Himu]

ive been wanting a good fast and furious game but that sadly probably ain't it. It got a stealth release with barely any game footage. not a good sign.

[Stoney Mason]

I only liked the Tokyo one and the last one. I guess that was 5 maybe. The others I thought were actively terrible but 5 really hit the sweet spot for being a mainstream enjoyable dumb popcorn movie.

[Himu]

Yup,bTokyo Drift, and 5 are the best ones.

[bork]

Let's talk about cultural impact.  Things I remember about The Fast & The Furious:

• After the movie, people got in their cars and revved the engines.
• Idiots gunning it out of the movie theater parking lot.
• People saying that they were going to head to their local auto parts shop to buy some "Nos."
• "Street racing" suddenly becoming a much-bigger thing in my area.  distinguished mentally-challenged fellows got ticketed.

[Himu]

You forgot car customization. I remember after the fast and furious, more and more people started putting on rims, glow lights, all that shit on their car. The Fast and the Furious is a classic, if only because of cultural impact - like you said. It is completely undeniable.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Tokyo Drift is the best. THE BEST.

The Need for Speed series went from expensive sports cars to driving hondas with glowing bits in Underground.  There were a bunch of other street racing games around that time, too.  The tokyo xtreme racer series was ahead of its time.

all because of

[Joe Molotov]

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

East meets...South. I'm not feeling the love quite as much as Himu, but this movie was pretty alright. I can hate on a movie with two sweet montages (Homeboy learns to drift and they rebuild the Mustang). The street chase and the final race were pretty badass. Also, when Sonny Chiba showed up, that was pretty badass too.

"You like Micheal Jordan? I love Michael Jordan. Check this out, the brand new Jordans, not even out yet. Even LeBron James can't get these!"

[Himu]

I think Fast and Furious (4) is probably the most BORING of the Fast movies. It's not outright bad like Fast 2 but fuck Good luck, Joe! Even number Fast movies tend to be

[Joe Molotov]

Just gotta power through it, then it's time for 5 & 6. 

[Himu]

5

[ManaByte]

And yes, 4 is boring. But it's needed to set up 5, 6, and 7.

[Joe Molotov]

Fast and Furious

RAWR, SRS BSN!!!!! Am I watching Fast and Furious or The effing Departed over here? I'm surprised this movie didn't tank the franchise, but apparently it made a ton more money than Tokyo Drift, I guess cuz it had the original dudes in it.

3/10

TOLD YA. 5

6 was awesome.

The first time I saw even softcore porn was when I was 11 and went into the "models" section of a street racing website. I was thinking "OMG you can nearly see a nipple". And then I did a slow but sure googling of pictures of girls which I had never even thought of doing before until I finally saw nipples and the mysteriously shaped vagina.

YOU HONGRY for Fast 6, Joe?!

[Joe Molotov]

We ain't hongry no more. 

[Himu]

Should I see Fast 6 in 3d?!

[bork]

3D

Hoping to go see Fast 6 tonight!

[Himu]

You're right. It is never worth it.

[Joe Molotov]

Fast 6 ain't even in three-D, bro. This movie is legit, it doesn't need any Avatar gimmicks.

[Himu]

[Steve Contra]

I told you 5 puts it in the butt.  The end sequence

Those 15 minutes are what Michael Bay has been trying to do his entire career with 0 success

[Howard Alan Treesong]

somehow I never saw 5

I know what I'm doing tonight

[Steve Contra]

Also apparently this opens up against the next Hangover, which is a thing they made for no reason.

[Steve Contra]

somehow I never saw 5

I know what I'm doing tonight

5 is awesome.  It's like a better Oceans 11 with cars and Tyrese.
