For real though, watch Better Luck Tomorrow somewhere before 3 cause it's a secret origin story for Han.

I love Justin Lin and he needs to get more credit for saving the F&F franchise. He took the 3rd entry in a dying series (2F2F was mediocre enough that no one wanted to sign up for another one), changed it into a more diverse ensemble cast, upped the action and ridiculousness, taking it away from car races to gunfights, and now it's a blockbuster summer series with another 2 more movies slated to go.

Some people dislike 3 because it's so different from the other movies (specifically, no Dom or Brian) but they need to recognize that 3 was the most important movie in making F&F what it is today.

Might as well throw in Turbo Charged Prelude between 1 and 2 for good measure. Shows how Bryan got that sick-rear end R34 that promptly gets wrecked after one race in 2.

E: loving hell beaten like Jesse when he went up against Johnny Tran in FF 1.

The series should be seen in release order because Tokyo Drift introduces the best character. A person they twist the rest of the series to fit in. You aren't going to have the same appreciation for what they did if you mess up the viewing order.

Goddamn if that isn't the high watermark of the tuner aesthetic. RIP Gunmetal/Blue R34, may you find two.... two of the big ones in heaven.

I remember thinking the 'ESD Harpoon' stuff in 2F2F was a bit over the top, but here we are, over a decade later talking about the same franchise and they're fighting drones and tanks.

On the subject of Universal IPs, that gives them the out to save Han. Doc Brown shows up in his hovertrain, says it's vital to the future of humanity and the space-time continuum that Han is part of the team for F10 so they drift to 88mph, rescue him from the burning car and go straight to 2030 to pull off a daring hovercar heist that the fate of the world rests on.

Then they go to Jurassic Park.

Actually, it's high time for a Wild Speed Cinematic Universe, so maybe Fast And Furious Tokyo Drift - 2 Han Seoul-Oh Gaiden Jam! is about him drifting out of the afterlife. It can be a side story, setting him up for return in FFX.

John Woo's 'A Better Tomorrow 2' pulls this exact trick completely straight faced. Chow Yun Fat shows up as the twin brother of the character from the first film. He looks, talks, acts and fights exactly like his brother.

Early John Woo was so gloriously stupid.

I want to say 7 had enough of that scene in it, with new stuff as well, that you don't need to do this. I know the main guy from 3 ages 20 years in a single cut in 7.

I will also never stop insisting they should have just replaced Walker with a Muppet version of him in the last movie during all the stuff yet to be filmed. Save a fortune on CGI. Not even ACKNOWLEDGE it, just play it straight.

Actually, how long before Keanu Reeves himself - the prototype Paul Walker - just drifts into this series. Mysterious wild card from the future who almost dies in front of the team but comes back shaken:

Vin : But...I saw you. You...you were dead!
Keanu: I...I saw...Paul Walker. He said something...
Vin : WHAT? WHAT DID HE SAY?!
Keanu: 'Whoa.'

My vote is just every few minutes, drop in one of his scenes from Into The Blue, with no explanation or care for continuity. Just interleave the two.

We have a lot of fun here in the Wild Speed thread, but this is really misguided. It's a huge franchise with a very diverse cast, with a strong emphasis on treating the people close to you well. Sure, it's a multimillion dollar franchise that's excessive and gratuitous, but it's not everything wrong with American pop culture.

This is honestly the most diverse franchise going around. It's also one of the select few that features an Asian man with a non-Asian woman, which is one of the few things Hollywood is still squeamish about. There's (apologies if this is the wrong term) mixed couples everywhere throughout the franchise, actually, even going back to the first.

I prefer to think of it as a repudiation of American pop culture. It understands it isn't Shakespeare and instead of getting all emo about it or going up its own rear end creating a 'think man's action hero' like the early 1990s tried to do, it laughs at itself and becomes MORE outlandish because it understands the sense of camaraderie and outlandishness is what has made it so durable as a franchise.

It's real dope seeing a cast which is largely non-white be one of the top movie franchises worldwide.
