raditts posted:I still think he's a fool to not make the final F&F movie tie seamlessly into the Riddick movies. It's kind of cool to contrast FnF, which handled the transition from small scale to big adventures, to Riddick, which tried to do the same transition all in one movie.

CubanMissile posted:You don’t need FF, just watch Bad Boys For Life now and forever. I thought that was actually pretty uninteresting. It felt...small, like the pilot of a Bad Boys tv show, not a sequel to Bad Boys 2, one of the most insane films ever made

Stairmaster posted:They actually did do a bad boys tv show with none of the main cast Apparently it had Gabrielle Union but "On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 7% based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 4.11/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A spin-off to nowhere, L.A.'s Finest operates on outdated sensibilities and wastes its talented leads' time—especially unfortunate considering Gabrielle Union's committed performance."[33] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 46 out of 100, based on 6 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews" Mixed or average is doing a lot of work there.

Shageletic posted:Iirc the actor is insane in real life, which made the best F&F ever, Torque, loving pop. He was also in both the first two blade movies in different roles. He was the 'I got his pigsticker' guy in the first one, and Chupa, the one with the drum fed m16, in the second. He was also an impressively crazy bad guy in the Transporter. He was a model for a bit. He's not aged well at all and I wonder what happened.

Zedd posted:Tokyo Drift is in my top 2, the exact spot depends on how I feel. 6 and 5 are the best crazy FnF films, while Tokyo Drift is the best sensible FnF. I know i'm stretching the word 'sensible' there but you know what i mean.

Boywhiz88 posted:I think I do, because I was thinking about how it’s the only one with training montages, and how the character arcs play out. Han rules as a mentor, even if it’s weird that he’s hooking multiple teens up with incredibly expensive equipment. It makes sense for a guy who has to be impossibly rich and, to stick with the DnD metaphor, massively overleveled for this area, to just give kids super high end equipment to see what they do. Also, just to clarify, one, two, three and bits of four are clearly set in the real world, while 5 onwards are very clearly not.

It's nice to see Jason Tobin in this. I was sure he was going to bug the gently caress out of me on Warrior, since I usually hate that archetype (the weird looking horndog gangster) but he owned that role and won me over really quickly. Also, holy poo poo this looks bugfuck insane in the best possible way. I'm glad Lin's back. He's got an absolute superpower to depict the dumbest, most ridiculous poo poo and make it feel completely sincere and real. Reminds me a little of John Milius: take the dumbest concept and play it completely straight and the audience follows along.

Anyone suggesting stuff from Edinburgh be cut is a fool. If they had, we wouldn't have got every character pronouncing the city's name slightly differently. B-Rock452 posted:So last year was really hard and honestly my mental health took a toll. Really been working on it and since I have seen every Fast and Furious movie on opening night since the first one of course I saw this one. And it ruled. Really felt like a nice return to the movies and definitely going to see it again. Justin Lin is a fantastic director (everyone should watch Warrior) and it was just a ton of fun. Highly recommend. I'm really glad to hear it. It's been a ritual for me and a friend since Fast Five and he's had a rough couple of last years too. Is there anything these movies can't do? Ravenfood posted:The "as long as we obey the laws of physics" line was amazing. For me it's 6. The first chase in london, the tank chase, the runway and joe taslim all in the same movie. Sodomy Hussein posted:The first three or so are pretty bad movies just aping the typical style of "boys with cars" movies from the 2000's. Around 4 they start getting weirder. 5-7 are the high points of the franchise so far. 7 is outright bizarre. The third is actually weirdly good. It's basically the same formula as the first, but done by a really talented director who throws a lot more energy and skill at the project than he really needs to.

well why not posted:After 1, the series is briefly two franchises - 2F2F and Tokyo Drift are two attempts at following the original movie. 2F2F gets the heightened action and exaggeration, while Tokyo Drift gets the medium-stakes crime and famiky drama. 3 was also released in that 'what...they're making another one...and nobody from the original is in it?' It felt more like the last gasp of a franchise, the straight to dvd sequels, just in cinemas. It's amusing since, in retrospect, it's the directorial debut of the guy who made it an actual franchise. I didn't see it until the lead up to Fast Five when someone here recommended it.

Forget retconning han's death any more, retcon the heist in the first one and it turns out those combo dvd/vcrs are actually some sort of secret superweapon. We need to remember that 'trucker with a gun' is actually the teams greatest enemy.

Everyone posted:Fs 5, 6 and 7 were probably the best movies in the franchise and they all had Johnson in them. 8 fell down a bit but that was likely more due to the loss of Paul Walker than to the presence of the the Rock. Nah, it was just a shift in director. It took 4 movies for Lin to learn that perfect balance between absurdity and sincerity that makes the movies work. James Wan had something very similar and Gray never quite found the sweet spot. Paul Walker, despite by all accounts being a nice guy, was not the thing holding FnF together.

The genuinely surprising part of these movies is that we still haven't gotten a decent video game out of them. They lend themselves so well to some sort of "diddy kong racing but sexy/gritty" formula, where some people are in planes, some in hovercraft, some in tanks and so on. It's weird that we never got it. Then again, I guess video game adaptations of film properties have been dying off for a long time. They used to be almost guaranteed. Everyone posted:I don't know. I could see the idea of Walker being the nice guy that got the egos of Diesel and Johnson to get along being something that held FnF together. I see that argument. He did have that channing tatum quality of being able to have on screen chemistry with basically anyone.

Dom reckons racing is 10% Nos and 95% drifting, the rest is just family. Actually, can we get at least a couple of Castle cast members? Eric Bana's not busy.
