Marathoned all the movies again this past Sunday with a bunch of friends, they just keep getting more and more ridiculous, in a very good and amazing way. I still think 5 is my favorite though, since it's an Ocean's 11 style heist movie and I've always liked those. Really excited about 7, and even 8 given that the baddie for 8 is supposed to be Kurt Russel.

Just to be clear, these movies are dumb on purpose right? I think I've only seen the first one but that trailer is loving ridiculous.

Yes, they figured out why people see them, and it's not for serious dialog or believable plots.

He just drives off into the sunset.

This isn't a metaphor, that is literally how they say goodbye to the character.
This is not a deep, thought provoking series.

E: Just got back, it's everything I hoped for and I'm sad that Paul Walker won't be around anymore.

I always wondered why they didn't bring back Suki [Devon Akoi].

So was I, so I looked into why. Apparently her family owns the Benihanna restaurant chain so she doesn't need any money and also her and her partner started a family and she just had her second kid last year.
I hope they can convince her to come back since it seems like the cast is mostly the 2fast crew now.

I'm kind of curious what the original storyline was. Rewatching it Sunday I noticed that whenever they talked about "missing the bullets", Paul was nothing but reaction and over the shoulder shots.

I didn't remember that Han had the necklace, but it could've been reacquired without that awkward 2 min flashback and Lucas Black's jarring 10 years of aging after a 5 minute race. Maybe they should've CGI'd him too. The least they could've done was show the race.

He didn't. Letty gave it to Owen Shaw after Dom gave it to her.

They've been advertising the home release as an "Extended Edition" is there a rundown of what the differences are supposed to be?

I haven't watched it yet to confirm but apparently it's
1) Monologue at the beginning is longer
2) Deckard's first line to Hobbs is changed to make sense now
3) Graveyard chase is longer
4) Rousey fight is longer
5) Kurt Russell fight is longer

I hate when they release box sets of movies that are in a series that is clearly not finished. Unless it's doing it like Marvel is with the "phases" or whatever. Because then when 8 comes out you just have this dumb tire and the next movie in a normal rear end case.

Well, you'd just put the disc in the tire and toss the case for 8 since there's more than enough room.

What about 9 and 10? And the Hobbs spin off?

I'll double check when I get home, but I think it was only 2/3 full, maybe even only 1/2 full. There's only one extra disc and it's just a bunch of F7 promos and F6 interviews, nothing worth keeping.

I'm glad they gave up the movie-every-year idea they had for a while. although it's a shame it took their lead actor dying to do it. :(

However if he hadn't died, they still would be releasing then alongside X-men movies.

It would be the craziest thing if the plot flips around to being about stolen DVD players like in TF&TF 1.

When you think about it, the bulk of F&F5 was the result of a stolen DVD player. At least I assume that drug map was also a DVD player, it looked like one.

Helen Mirren!

The crowd went nuts for the Jason Statham & Luke Evans reveal, it was obvious that it was coming, but it was so good to see it happen. They also went nuts for Don Omar, but that might be because I'm in South Texas and he's bigish here.
I think the first and second acts weren't very good, but the third act just blew it all away and wrapped it up well enough. I'm going to have to see it again next week, but I'm thinking it's probably 3rd or 4th overall.


I did laugh a bit at the baby reveal because during the baby talk with Letty I was saying to myself, Dom is not the type of guy who would wear a rubber so how have they not even had a close call?

Boxofficemojo has the opening weekend actuals up: $98,786,705 domestic, $433,200,000 international for a total of $531,986,705. Even if they hadn't already said 9 & 10 were in the pipe, they certainly would be now.

Somewhat Heroic posted:

So many months ago when F8 started advertising at work we were talking about how successful it would be. I bet a co-worker lunch that I thought it would out-gross F7 (I am optimistic) but he said the only reason people went to see it was because Paul Walker died. I knew there was a good chance I would lose and I am pretty sure I will. We decided that we would compare a two week box office total and whatever was higher would win.

I have tried my best at the :google: to see if there is a day by day comparison for tracking the box office totals (for worldwide totals) between F7 and F8. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

I saw the movie opening weekend and loved it. Much of the same praise/criticism others have expressed. One of the most egregious detours outside of the Shaw's being part of the crew? was having Budweiser and Stella Artois at the table. Not a single bottle of Corona. I thought that was weak.

They don't have a head to head comparison for 7 v 8, but here's the separate breakdowns for F8 and F7.
Edit: Well that's just the domestic, I don't see a daily breakdown for international on there.

What I got from that : The Vin/Rock beef is still a thing and will delay the next one.

The last official statements were that The Rock was getting his own spinoff so he and Vin don't have to costar anymore. Looks like Tyrese is announcing which one he wants to be in.
