Thought people here may be interested in hearing the latest Fast & fictitious(oops, I mean furious) movie has finished shooting.
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, & the Rock? in Rio???
Due for release end of April - hard to believe the franchise was first screened way back in 2001.
Trailer HERE

Its turned into an Action franchise... looks more like XXX or something, instead of a movie about Cars and street racing....

I'd def download it...

As long as they have the Chevy pickup that can do 80mph in reverse, I'm happy. Still working on a 4th reverse gear in my C4, will report back.

Tokyo Drift had no relevance to the story line anyway, it wasnt linked to 1&2, so we can almost forget it excisted.

Just install a second engine in your boot. That way you can go as fast backwards as you can forwards. Any idiot knows that.

So it contains a lot of car nuts allegedly driving cars in a way far above their actual skillset which are overblinged and modified but could not possibly even remotely have the power or capability described disregarding road laws while pretending to be upright citizens.

So basically, AFF the movie......

i don't have very high expectations as i presume it'll follow the same low brow ricer experience the previous efforts did.

i'll get it for nothing other than a reference movie

Looks great I loved all those movies except for the second which no amount of nice cars or perve factor could make up for the stupidity of the storey line and overacting

Remember, like Fast and furious 4, this 5th film sits between 2 and 3 cronologically.

So:

The Fast and the Furious
2 Fast 2 Furious
Fast & Furious
Fast Five
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Thats why Han is in it (remember he was in the 4th one as well...)



Also, alot of gripes that people have with it can be found in just about every other car movie. Like too many gear changes, stupid stunts, poor/incorrect dialoge can be found in everthing, like Mad Max, Gone in 60 seconds etc...
