Shitty ass movie. Dont go see it unless you have ZERO knowledge of cars, physics, and the justice system.

if you went in to this movie with any expectation of a realistic portrayal of cars, physics, etc., then you might be retarded. looks awesome....obviously super cheesy, but i'm still going to see it.

Why do people go see the movie expecting it to be realistic? It's the 6th fucking one and none before have been realistic, so why would this one all of a sudden change?

They've spent absurd money on cars in the past 5 as well. It's not a car enthusiast film so much as an action film.

they really have to get back to realistic street racing, with minimal amounts of action.  the action scenes should be races and car chases.  less fights/flying through the air in cars, gun-shooting, all completely unrealistic stuff.  more racing for pinks, street racing, realistic action... shit like the first two movies

man, i don't know what the fuck you were watching, but this movie was fucking rad.  granted, it was cheese dick as a mother fucker in some parts, but what do you expect from F&F?  i will totally torrent a dvd rip of this when it gets released.

i really liked it. obviously i threw my knowledge of cars/physics/lengths of runways out the window before i saw it. i mean its an action movie with fast cars, might as well go see it. plus the kids behind me were baked, so listening to them was pretty funny

love the disclaimer they put at the end. pretty sure ive heard that in my city cops show up with tow drunks and wrecked cars on opening night as a "warning".

this one was tight but i think a bit too much, like they went full retard. last one was better. btw someone did the maths and that run way was 24 miles long haha

ive only seen 3 of the films now and to me these arent car movies. would be sick to see some strait street racer shit where they lose cars and stuff

I enjoyed it. Mainly because the entire time we were there we were making loud noises, shooting laser pointers at the screen and getting stoned.

The movie itself sucked. That runway was damn retarded.

I liked the movie.
Sure some parts were like killing me with unrealisticism.
but those aside and its a entertaining story.
I was killed throughout the whole movie cause one character is not in Tokyo Drift.. and this movie even though it came out after, occurs on a timeline before tokyo drift.
So during the whole movie I thought said character was gonna die but no... not till the end.
I let out a barely audible noooo when **** did
-Goodmovie
-fuck physics/logic and all that
-storyline is long and its good to see everything come together

FUCKING THIS. So tired of this bullshit. Go watch the first two, then watch the new one. What happened? I remember being so stoked after watching Tokyo Drift, and now it's just horse shit.

there's no plot left in that.

"kid races car. Sucks. Meet and befriends dominant racer. Becomes good. Someone dies. Kid wins race."


They rebranded the franchise to make it more appealing to more people and so they could make movies that didn't suck to anyone but kids who get off the thinking about street racing.


not to mention...

the fast and the furious made $207,283,925
tokyo drift made $158,468,292


versus

fast five made $626.1 million
fast and furious 6 made $317 million (after less than a week)


The first 3 movies made roughly the same as Fast Five made. What incentive do they have to make more movies like the first ones?

$300 million?

lollollollollllll.

Titanic at todays dollar value cost about $250 million to make and went on to make 1.8 billion.
let that sink in for a second.
pun intended.

lol 300 million.
even if every, single, car in that movie cost 1 MILLION dollars there would have to be 300 cars.
more realistically, lets say every ricer in that movie cost 100k, there would have to be 3000 cars.

and that 300 million is before you pay your actors, production costs, advertising etc etc etc.

some o u kids are either really dumbz, or just too damn gullable.

dead on. it was way too much. i purposely turned off my engineer brain when the movie started, and wasn't able to enjoy it.

even though Fast Five wasn't really a car movie, it was an awesome flick in my opinion. it seems to me that they tried to re-cash in on the themes of that movie (ie. THE FAMILY, heist crew, fully automatic guns) and just went way over the top.

too bad. #5 was such a fantastic recovery from #4. hopefully #7 can accomplish the same thing... but prospects don't look good.

my series ranking now goes: 1,3,5,2,6,4

Number one was Point Break with cars instead of surfing.

Number two was a steaming pile of dog shit, and the only reason I watched it was because I was on night shift, and it was the only thing on TV at 7am other than the morning news.

I think the way you enjoy the FnF franchise depends on your automotive knowledge.

I made a simple chart to illustrate this:

My major question for those who saw the scene in-between the credits, is why the fuck is Jason Statham getting involved? They are obviously doing ANOTHER Fast and Furious so are they going to do a Transporter, F&F collaboration?

So let me get this straight.

If you have zero knowledge of anything vehicle related, you're gonna love this fuckin movie.

But if you know enough about cars to drive one, you're gonna hate it.

And if you truly understand vehicular mechanics and have a burning passion for supercars, this is THE movie for you!!





seems strange, but i'm not a statistician.

Yes because if you really understand cars you can just laugh at all the mistakes they almost seem to make on purpose, such as the million shifts, or shifting an automatic from manual to park just so it looks like he is shifting, it just becomes cheesy.

Looking at the pictures, the only car that really only interests me is the Jensen Interceptor.

No. With my above average knowledge of cars, i absolutely hated it. If it was intended to be cheesy and funny, then i would of enjoyed it, but it wasnt. It was intended to be h@rdc0r3, but it was fucking stupid, and painful to watch. Waste of money.

No you fall in to the pit of: I know above average on cars, hurd dur FnF is shit.

When you start to know more about cars you will start to appreciate the failure.
