One of several cool things about those claws in that Dom-wrangling scene is that it's tech the team has incorporated from its enemies, Mega Man style. The first Shaw uses the claw, then Tej gets ahold of it and upgrades it (and then makes a few more).

The franchise could do better for women, though. Diversity of the cast is great and all but each of the films has music video shots of women's asses. And the women can only fight other women.

Y'know, I said "music video shots of women's asses" but in a music video the women are dancing for the camera, just like the musicians are performing for the camera. In the movies though the women are characters who are at a street race, dancing or walking around, and it's our POV that gets up close and personal with their butts.

The movies from 5 onward really love using the harpoons to attach the cars to each other or other things. All they need to do is enchant those harpoons and the anchor and target can fuse into one.Okan170 posted:As someone who has worked on two of these movies, that is absolutely what we ask ourselves sometimes, what could be next?

The Rock walked away with a tear in his eye, keeping the halfling bard sheet tucked in his pocket. "These are not the right kind of adventurers for the both of us, Gillion the Valiant", he whispered.

I love that the franchise is at the point where an important heist (the EMP) can be mostly skipped over because it's just assumed the team can pull it off.

Killing Han is the worst but not the only thing to gloss over. He blew up Dom's house and almost took out Brian and his family in doing so. Unless they say he was under some kind of mind control there's no getting around what he did.

I was responding to the poster above me who suggested there may be a fakeout involved. But there's not going to be a new plot point that absolves Deckard's actions. You either agree with Dom's decision or not.

Who cares about Cypher joining the team? I want Helen Mirren to get behind the wheel first. Also: The Atlantic has thoughts on where the franchise should go. I think it's funny that F&F has become like Bond, where the franchise gets long enough that there are ebbs and flows and calls to be less spectacular and go "back to basics". https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/04/why-the-fast-and-furious-needs-to-go-small-to-survive/523437/ quote:It’s safe to say the 16-year-old Fast & Furious franchise is an unqualified success. Its eighth entry, The Fate of the Furious, opened to a healthy $98 million at the U.S. box office this weekend and seems poised to be a financial boon like its forebears. The next two sequels are already greenlit and, in general, the Vin Diesel-starring, car-centric series is a crown-jewel property for Universal Studios. But there are some signs of trouble ahead: Fate’s opening was about $50 million down from the previous film, Furious 7, and the reaction from critics was similarly less rapturous. The franchise is doing fine, but there’s at least some reason to worry. Of course, when studio execs are looking at what to do with the franchise, keep in mind this is what they see as the franchise's record so far: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-fast-and-furious/ Lobok fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Apr 19, 2017 |

Is there even a formula? The sequels didn't measure up until the fifth film so I'd love to hear a producer explain how they were going to copy the F&F formula, but only the good parts.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:This is not a "formula" anyone can recreate except with time travel and/or a transcendent AI Exactly. Anything else about the success of the franchise is just about making good action movies in general or marketing appeal like "hm, people like good-natured outlaws, and humour, and cool cars, and sex appeal, and women characters who get to do stuff? What a breakthrough!"

Depends on how popular we're talking but Lord of the Rings will continue to sell books long after people have completely forgotten about F&F. Never mind all the other tie-ins or adaptations or merch it will continue to produce.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Both Jurassic Park and Fast and Furious are Universal properties, they are the most likely to fight each other. Also the Universal Monsters (Dracula/Wolfman/Mummy/Frankenstein/Creature from the Black Lagoon) If not actual dinos there could definitely be a JP-branded Truckasaurus Wrex that chomps up cars. Maybe add a little of the theme in there since the music licensing comes easy.

If your only reference for a white woman having a little bit of dreads is Rachel Dolezal then I suppose you could say that Theron looks like her in the film. But that's a bit of a stretch.

I dunno if she needed Dom to do it for her but because he had thwarted her plans before she liked the idea of forcing him to do it, especially since with that rascally Mr. Nobody around, the Fast & Furious might have been called in to try and stop her.

GonSmithe posted:I don't think accepting a spinoff film when he's the best character of that franchise now makes him a bad person. He understands that he's one of the main draws of the movies, and is capitalizing on it. Just because the others don't want to break up "the family" doesn't mean he needs to deal with that. Either it is The Rock's franchise now and they should just deal or it isn't and the series will get along just fine without him. The series already had four movies without him and he was sidelined for most of 7.
