In The Past of the Fast you find out all of the characters actually knew each other when they were little and grew up in the same orphanage but had their memories erased by whoever the bad guy of this trilogy is, who will also be a kid from their orphanage who used to be a part of the Family.
This is followed up with The Future of the Furious.

“practical” but I doubt they used real magnets, what a scam

except they then CGI enhanced the practical effect and this just made it look extremely fake

@Drem he has… figured it out.
Do your job… yes, it hurts me as well, but we cannot let the truth out into this asphalt jungle.
n.b. I am SO ready to see the Future Furious 10 reboot of Little Han in Zanarkand… only to find out that it is his grand grand grandson, and Dom is Zeromus… wait, Edea? Golbez? Shit, i need to get my lore right, or this isn’t going to take off like a Hellcat Challenger…
There should be a Fast and Furious FFXIV Raid crossover, both are about how your enemies can eventually be your friends

Yeah is it better than 8 or H&S? Which isn’t terribly high bars to clear but still.
as someone who has recently rewatched all the mainline movies (and formally approved side stories) before seeing the new one, my ranking list currently stands as:
- Fast Five
- The Fast & The Furious
- TF&TF: Tokyo Drift
- Fast 9
- Fast 6
- Better Luck Tomorrow
- Fast & Furious
- 2 Fast 2 Furious
- Furious 7
- F8 of the Furious
- Hobbs and Shaw
it wasn’t the best but it was a very fun movie with a couple parts that were (unintentionally) one of the funniest moments i’ve seen from the series. since Fast 7 onward, you can really track how much MCU has really infected the production style and pacing of these later movies and there’s still some of that stuff that i’m not a fan of but you can’t get a much better “return to a real movie theater experience” than this right now. that in itself might be coloring my overall opinion but i had a good time

I know I am extremely biased a Southerner that moved to Tokyo, but what do you get out of Tokyo Drift?
Only one of the handsomest men and a sick RX-7

The opening sequence in the high school in Tokyo Drift is the best scene in the whole series and the best cinematic representation of the decade it was filmed in

S15, NA1, NA2, EK9, S14, S13 (iirc), FD, FC, Evo VIII,… don’t feel bad if that’s gibberish for you, but for some it is (was) a validation of their enthusiasm, similar to how some people feel that Bigbang Theory(spelling?) gave their nerdiness some street cred/made them less alien to normal people.
If that’s a good thing, no idea.

He races the kid from Home Improvement through an unfinished suburban housing development while a kid rock song that was already eight years old at the time plays, and the scene ends with him totalling his car to impress a girl. Nothing else in the series even comes close

Definitely not as entertaining as the F&F movies, but
I remember watching this very derivative movie and being like “whoa, they aren’t talking bullshit about the cars!” Like the guy in the turbo’d 8th gen Civic is telling the other guy how dangerously lean his fuel mixture is and talking about running like 13:1 or whatever. It’s a weird contrast to the absolute nonsense they spout out in the first F&F movie.

note that this is absolutely not a movie you should watch, based on the trashy trailer
depicting an absolutely realistic BMW i8 police car and definitely real Nürburgring-Action. Interestingly enough though, they really mean the Nürburgring, including the GP course start/finishing straight is such an oddball choice for a movie like this… like, who’d complain about them just using the Nordschleife only-Layout?
Questionable car choices… life choices reconfirmed itt.
I just watched one Fast & Furious movie per day for 5 days in a row, and it sunk in so hard I had a dream about it last night:
It’s flurrying and a man in a heavy coat is hunched over an extinguished trash barrel fire. He’s using a metal sieve to sift through the ashes. He occasionally finds scraps of cooked chicken breast and pops them in his mouth. Tej Parker and Dominic Toretto are watching from a distance.
Tej: That’s Martin Van Buren Jr. He’s a dog burglar. He lives off leftover food scraps that dogs have dropped. Dog burglars are really tight. They’re not allowed to talk to anyone outside their family.
Dom: That’s like me. Family is important to me.
Tej: No Dom, the dog burglars are only allowed to talk to the family they were born with. You made your own family.
Dom: It’s all family.
