First Look: Fast and Furious


Recommended Posts

From imdb.com

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker re-team for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on Fast cars -- "Fast and Furious." Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller. When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Connor (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel. -from "TheHollywoodNews.com" Written by Universal Studios

he latest word is that the newest FF installment will be simply called Fast and Furious-filmmakers apparently decided that fans could handle neither complex numerology nor the repetition of the word "the." The film is slated for release on June 5th, 2009, and as for content, the plot summary released by Universal corroborates certain previously leaked details, but doesn't tell us a lot we don't already know. Quoted in Cinematical, this is the extent of it: "When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him." The most comprehensive plot summary online is the still the unofficial one on Latino Review, and even it only covers the film's initial setup. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordanna Brewster, and Michelle Rodriguez are all returning, though Letty (Rodriguez) gets killed off early by drug dealers (hence the funeral scene ), catalyzing the action by forcing Diesel and Walker's characters to collaborate to avenge her death. Even Tokyo Drift's Han, who's supposed to be dead, will be making an appearance, suggesting that Fast and Furious is to be a prequel to Tokyo Drift (and accounting for Diesel's otherwise inexplicable appearance at the end of the last film). Some of you have heard the rumors already. Universal Studios had asked us to build them twin S2000 feature cars. The Honda S2000s will be used in a racing scene along with a few other feature cars for the opening sequence of Fast and The Furious 4. Currently the two cars are already completed and have started filming. It is a long and interesting story, some of which I can say now and some of which I cant Written by cardomain

Are you kidding me! Everything in those pictures happened in the first film.

Probably a stupid remake to get money from all the 13-year-old lil john's around here.

There has never been a good FF movie and there never will be.

Because your opinion is the only one that matters. /Fail

I am looking forward to this, I enjoy these movies, except for the second one..not so good.

Why does poster 2 and 4 have the same thing in the middle. I mean 1 and 3 actually have a picture of the guys but 2 and 4 doesn't have a picture of the girls in their cars!

Maybe they are skimping on the work? :p

They blew their budget bringing Vin back :laugh:

I hope it's not as bad as the the sequels. I haven't seen all of TD, and I don't think I want to.

I honestly don't get why Tokyo Drift gets all of this flak. I mean, sure, it's not exactly a movie with the most in depth of plots, but come on, it's not like F&F 1 had this in mind either. Undercover cop goes undercover to try and bust a guy doing dodgy stuff with cars. Cop starts falling for a girl in the group. Cop feels his allegiances are split. Cop eventually starts siding with the dodgy guy. Cop reveals himself to dodgy guy when he has to save his friend.

It has a pretty simplistic plot, and one that's been done many times before. I think the only reason why TD gets as much flak as it does is because of the complete lack of recognisable faces throughout the whole movie. Had it been Vin Diesel who had to go to Japan everyone would have been all "Oh man, it was an amazing movie!".

Anyway, speaking of TD, I wouldn't be surprised if this actually takes place before Tokyo Drift, it'd be quite nice to see Han back and find out how Han got to know Dominic. They touched on making the movies connect with each other, and it's blatantly obvious they want to carry on with that with F&F4, so why not throw this in?

+1 TD was a decent movie. although someone learning how to drift in a week somehow outdrifts a guy that's been doing it for years was a huge stretch

if they tie this into TD somehow with Han then i'll go watch it. but if they do what they did in TD with Diesel and have Han show up in the last couple seconds i'm gana be ****ed. i want an actual story damit!

    • It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.

    • lol it was a typo, fixed! haha imagine an actual 4TB Gen4 NVMe for $40 in 2026
    • Get over it, has nothing to do with my point.
    • I really don't like these rounded corners and huge borders in the viewport. They just waste space without anything in return.
