Fast & Furious 6 Hype/Marathon Thread - All the Action, All the Buttlust

[Howard Alan Treesong]

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.

yeah, I knew 5 was HYPE at the time but 4 was SO SRS I was suspicious

[Himu]

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

I'm worried 7 doesn't have Justin Lin on board.

That is a little worrying, yeah.

[Beezy]

Got my tickets online. Gonna see Fast 6 in 35 minutes.

[CajoleJuice]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

[BlueTsunami]

Awesome movie is awesome. I wasn't even expecting the fucking BOMB of a fucking BOMB that was BOMBED in my BOMB at the END.

[Beezy]

This movie. THIS FUCKING MOVIE

 

[Phoenix Dark]

 

[Himu]

SWEET FUCK

I'm still digesting it. I think Furious 6 is up there but I'm not sure I'd place it above Tokyo Drift or Fast Five. It doesn't have the highs of Fast Five or the great character moments of Tokyo Drift but at the same time it feels like a blend of the two to the poi t where it didn't feel like it was its own thing - compared to Fast Five and Tokyo Drift which were refreshing.

Still who gives a fuck? Movie is fucking banger. SEE IT.

THE ENDING

[Beezy]

I'm not sure I'd place it above Tokyo Drift or Fast Five.

 

When the hell did Tokyo Drift go from most hated to most overrated? I really like it too, but come on.

[Himu]

Tokyo Drift has montages and shit and is basically a martial arts film (Han = master, Cowboy = student) but with drifting cars and Initial D odes. Instead of solving problems with fists they solve problems by outracing the other guy. I can't hate on it. :sadbron

 I just don't think Furious 6 is better. Some parts felt like a drag. Like the entire part where dude flies to America just for a flashback. What the fuck was that? I want CARS and VROOM VROOM. Movie also has far too many gun shoot outs when I want to see fuckers solve their problems with four tons of steel. It tries to unveil all these secrets and plot twists from the most boring film in the series - of course it has boring parts. Many areas felt too self serious and the film suffered for it. Not pleasant but it is what I think.

I could watch any other series with gun and fist fights. When I watch Fast and Furious I want cars and shit. Thankfully the name is apt. It is definitely Furious but it ain't Fast. Compared to Fast Five where about every fight involved vehicles. But the last twenty minutes (barring the ending ) are pretty terrible.

But it's true! Every single physical confrontation in that movie, and most Fast and Furious movies, except this one for some reason, culminates with a high speed chase against the villain. The main exception is Fast Five, where it's about a heist, and even that culminates in a badass chase.

Fast Six culminates with them hooking cars to a plane.

[Beezy]

This isn't just a racing franchise anymore. That was extremely obvious after the last movie. And gun shoot outs? Every shootout in this movie was extremely short and led to a chase and/or fistfight. Really great fights btw, especially the ones between the female characters. It never dragged or felt too serious imo. Amazingly entertaining movie from start to finish.

[Himu]

Short? lol. Those fist fights weren't short. I think the only good fist fight was the Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano fight in the subway.

Also, who said anything about racing? Fast Five didn't have racing at all but it still involved every single confrontation with cars. They couldn't fight the Rock, he's a bloody juiced up monster.

Anyways movie is great and I'd love to see it again, but that Fast and Furious 4 stuff

[Beezy]

I never said the fights were short.

[Himu]

Do I have to spell out the obvious and say that the best part of the movie was

spoiler (click to show/hide)

the tank chase?

[close]

[bork]

Fast & Furious doesn't need to be all about cars anymore- they covered the street racing thing in multiple movies.  Drifting was done in one.  If they want to move in another direction, I'm all for it, since what was done in 5 and 6 is now enough.

Anyway, just saw Fast 6.  The movie was awesome awesome AWESOME but I think I like Fast 5 better.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Poor Han.   :'(  He loses his girl and then the way it just cuts to his retconned(?) death scene in Tokyo Drift makes it like it all went to shit for him so quickly.    :'(

Also Toretto and Letty- it was weird that they got back together in the end, seriously.  I think he should have stayed with the other woman and Letty should have gone off to do her own thing.

[close]

Bring on Fast 7!

[Himu]

Michelle R is a bigger name.

But fuck, she looks OLD in Furious 6. I swear she only has makeup (in the traditional sense) on in one scene.

3=5 > 1 > 6 >>>>>>>> 2 >>>>>>>>>>> 1

[Verdigris Murder]

I've always found the women fighting bits in most action movies to be a serious sod killer.

[Joe Molotov]

Fast & Furious 6

Oh. My. Gawd.

This movie, man. This fucking movie. It was just non-stop awesome.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tank chase.

Girlfights.

An actual street race.

Ludacris buying dem cars.

Mid-air catch.

Rock vs a vending machine.

Rock vs. Son, I am disappoint dad

London chase

Plane everything.

Jason Bloody Statham!

If Fast 5 put it in the butt, Fast 6 is a cinematic DP.

[Great Rumbler]

The logical end-game for the Fast and Furious franchise, at this point, is post-apocalypse.

[Joe Molotov]

Another thing, it's kinda funny that a series about people driving cars fast has more continuity whoring than a Geoff Johns comic book. Watching all the movies back-to-back, I noticed a lot of little things:

- Corona & Nos product placement (Every Fast movie, obviously)

- "You read the brochure." (Fast 3)

- "Sorry about the nose." "Not again!" (Fast 4)

- Tyrese being hongry all the time. (Fast 2)

- "You wanted to go night diving." (Los Bandoleros short-film)

- "You went from stealing DVD players..." (Fast 1)

- "...to stealing vaults." (Fast 5)

- The house rules for saying grace (Fast 1, 5)

- Dom's Charger (Fast 1, 4, 5)

- Han's chip eating habit (Fast 3, 5)

[Himu]

Yup. One of the best things about the franchise. Each movie adds to the story. One of the few films in Hollywood like that.

[Great Rumbler]

The six Fast and Furious movies have better continuity than the six Star Wars movies.

[Great Rumbler]

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

Friday box office: Furious 6 = $38 million, Hangover 3 = $14 million

[Himu]

Han and Roman were looking FINE in that one scene where Han was talking bout his boo. God he is the first Asian guy I find sexy. Must be that Jeremy Lin's powah.

[Himu]

You asshole!

5= 3 > 1 > 6 > 2 > 4

[Beezy]

6 ≥ 5 > 1 >>> 3 > 4 > 2

[Great Rumbler]

$120 million for the weekend, that's $28 million more than Fast Five's 4-day total.

[Joe Molotov]

6 ≥ 5 > 1 >>> 3 > 4 > 2

Beezy knows where it's at. Only thing I'd change is put 2 > 4.

[Rahxephon91]

About to go see Fast 6 again!

The proper title is Furious 6.

I've seen it Two times now. Saw it on Thursday night and today. Gina Carano was awesome.

[Yeti]

Saw the first two. Why do people hate on 2 so much? I liked it as much as 1, maybe even more. It didn't take itself as seriously, was much more funny, and had more ridiculous action sequences. Plus the homoeroticism was cranked up to 11.



Going to watch 3 tonight.

[Joe Molotov]

The buttlust was strong with 2 Fast, there's no denying that.

[Beezy]

Saw the first two. Why do people hate on 2 so much? I liked it as much as 1, maybe even more.

Honestly, I don't dislike any of these movies. 3 was the only one I ever had real hate for because of Bow Wow, but he was less annoying to me on repeat viewings.

Going to watch 3 tonight.

Well, I think Fast series is about two things:

1. racing
2. heists

In 2 Fast 2 Furious the story is focused around being undercover. It turns what made the original so unique into just a typical hollywood film. Plus some of the dialogue Isn't there like only one car chase in 2 Fast? Aside from the race, it lacks cars and it lacks heists and it feels like some weird cop buddy movie.

At least it had this.



But like Beezy said, none of the movies are bad.

that was terrible

[Himu]

[Yeti]

Isn't there like only one car chase in 2 Fast?

Well it depends what you want to count as a car chase. There were actually quite a few car/racing sequences in the film.

1. The intro race to introduce you to the characters where they do the bridge jump
2. The awesome "audition" race where Tyrese and Paul Walker were weaving in the lanes flirting with each other
3. Where they raced the Fonzie guy and his goon for pink slips so they could get cars without GPS tracking
4. The race to get the money to the mafia guy while the police are chasing them

Honestly, I don't dislike any of these movies. 3 was the only one I ever had real hate for because of Bow Wow, but he was less annoying to me on repeat viewings.

I watched 3 yesterday, and Bow Wow didn't bother me all that much, but that might have been because of how much I REALLY REALLY dislike the main character of this one. Man, was he duuuuuumb. Every time he spoke it infuriated me. He was just obnoxious all around, I can't think of a single redeeming quality about him beyond his loyalty to Han (who I did like). That said, I still liked the movie, but it so far is my least favorite. I'm about to watch Fast and 4ious though, and it seems there is a consensus that it is the worst, so we shall see.

[Beezy]

Lol yeah, I have no desire to see him back for 7. If you judge these movies on acting alone, 3 was easily the worst one.

[G The Resurrected]

T'minus 10 hours till I see this finally. Gonna drive more than an hour away to see it in D-box with Dolby Atmos on a Sony 4k display.

A fitting presentation for the 2013 Best Picture

[G The Resurrected]

So I liked it, but I can't let that ending go without saying something. I couldn't suspend my disbelief for that ending, it went on too long for what was going on. But I loved those damn flip cars and the chase in london. I question what they will do next. Justin lin essentially closed up all storylines in the game. Where was eva mendes? I thought she would be in the movie, I love that gal from Haywire she's awesome in this.

I will be honest I nodded off a few times but it's cause I was extremely tired. But then the Dbox would kick in and I'd be good. They need to invent napping movie theaters where you get a room to yourself and when it detects you've nodded off it pauses the movie.

[Great Rumbler]

I question what they will do next. Justin lin essentially closed up all storylines in the game.

Uhh...you did happen to see the scene that started up about ten seconds into the credits, right?

[G The Resurrected]

Oh shit there was a scene at the end? yes I saw that and excuse me for calling this movie a game, yes I'm that tired.

[Robo]

I saw this today and it was completely incomprehensible and boring.  I feel like I'm missing a big knee-slapper of a joke.

[Shaka Khan]

I skipped 3,4, and 5. I saw this tonight with Mr. and Ms. Positive and their young nephew... And thought it was redonkulously over the top and awesome.

This was how PT almost *literally* looked during the movie...

Ending:

[Positive Touch]

this movie was a full-body massage followed by multiple orgasms followed by a free trip to golden corral. god-tier action flick that exploded awesome all over my face non-stop. if you dont like this movie than please dont ever come around me because i will sense it on you and i will choke the shit out of you. i feel like i need to hurt someone as sacrifice to the hollywood gods who blessed us with this amazing movie.

YES THIS EXACTLY JOE

[Great Rumbler]

You should watch Fast Five, Shaka. It's pretty awesome, too.
