Who is going to see this big movie of PURE FRIKIN AWESOME?

Ok, so the last two sequels sucked serious ass, but I'm looking at the previews for this movie and it looks like it's the sequel that SHOULD have come after the first movie.

I loved the first movie (and was mildly entertained by the second movie and thought the third movie was pure shit), so I'm looking forward to seeing this one with all the original characters back.

Plot wise I can already guess this is going to be a pile of crap. But with chicks, cars and action, it's bound to leave every guy with a raging hard on -- well, me for one.

The latest trailer sold me. Pure adrenalin, kick ass, high speed action. So bring it on!!!

Atani · Mar 20, 2009

Hey, some 'girls' like fast cars too! Won't be able to get to the theaters for it, but I'm looking forward to it on Netflix!!

KD_Kilker · Mar 20, 2009

HECKZ to the YEAH.

The trailer confused me, though. I was thinking "Didn't that movie already come out a few years ago?".
I assumed, until now, that they were revamping the first movie, or something. And I was still going to see it xD

Didn't Diesel refuse to come back for the 2nd and 3rd one? Now that he's back, it would only mean:

a) the script is REALLY good
b) they pay him an exorbitant amt of money he can't refuse
c) his career is dying
d) all of the above

I was way into the import scene when the first movie came out. It was a flashy exposition on ricer stereotypes with lots of action thrown in, but fun to watch and fun to make fun of.

Now I'm a married homeowner who doesn't want extra attention from the police. But I like my fast cars, and I like them to be sleepers.

I'll still watch the new film, but not in a theater with a bunch of adolescent too dumb to keep the antics on the race track in real life.

I'd go with "d."

The first one was one of the most quotable movies ever. lol

Bullshit, asshole, no one likes the tuna here!

I live my life a quarter of a mile at a time.

I have....uh.... (ADD?)...yeah...that....shit.

e) B and C only

My biggest complaint with Fast and Furious 3: It was neither fast, furious, nor did it have any connection whatsoever with the first two films. It would be like naming the movie Black Rain, "James Bond goes to Japan."

Exactly.

Really?

Compared to The Princess Bride, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, or Space Balls? Doubtful.

Some movies have quotable lines, no doubt. Others, the entire script is quotable. The original Fast and Furious is not one of those films.

robeiae · Mar 20, 2009

I assume it will be as good as the first. By that I mean it will be bloody awful.

But Vin Diesel being drawn in because the script was really good?!?!? Please. Did he or did he not star in XXX and Babylon A.D.--to say nothing of The Chronicles of Riddick?

I'll see it when it hits cable. I can wait an extra month.

I could be unbelievably off base here, but I sort of remember something about Vin Diesel turning down the second XXX because he didn't want to be tied to a franchise. This was around the time of Fast and the Furious.

But erhm, yeah, they're making a third XXX and he's in that now, too ...

Dunno. That might be the case. I think that at the time, Vin had every reason to believe he was the nest Real Big Thing in Hollywood.

Btw, I enjoyed his performance in Find Me Guilty.

Actually, it was between Pitch Black and Fast and Furious. Diesel, being a sci-fi buff, wanted to do Riddick, and not another F&F movie.

I threw in the "lol" part to sort of add to the fact that I was exagerating a bit and that it's one of the funniest "quotable" movies I know of (in the sense that some of the lines are so ridiculous that they are hilarious).

Again, I'm just exaggerating and am not trying to really lift it up above more quality movies. But I got a kick out of it, and enjoyed the first one immensely and there are so many funny ridiculous lines in that movie.

Hell yeah. I've been waiting for them to make another one. I'll be there.

I wonder how they are going to "smooth over" the line in the second movie where they said that Xandier was dead?

robeiae · Mar 20, 2009

Deep cover. So deep, no one even knew.

That, or they'll pull a Rod Randle...

I believe the tentative title is XXX: The Return of Xandier.

That was a good one, and we got to see his other side -- the actor side, not the action hero side.

If FAF: Tokyo Drift is one of those movies, my copy has Vin in it, at the very end. If it's not, please carry on ...

ChaosTitan · Mar 21, 2009

New moves, original parts.

I admit, I saw the original in the theater. I'd waste eight bucks on it again, just to see the complete hotness that is Vin and Paul smoking up the screen together.

MattW · Mar 21, 2009

When the first movie came out, many of my friends had run ins with Paul Walker in airports, bars, and other places.

I imagine The Walker Convergence will begin again...

He appears in it for a second, and I've been told he did it for free, but that could just be a rumor.

Can't say I'm a big fan of his... my mother think's he's sexy... ick

Count me in..fast cars, Vin and Paul....hey, us chicks like action movies and hot bods too. It doesn't have to have a plot, but I bet it will be a fun ride.

K. Taylor · Mar 26, 2009

Hell yeah! Girl who grew up with cars, here. My boyfriend has a '63 Thunderbird. We saw the first 2 in theaters, and just watched Tokyo Drift yesterday on DVD in prep - got a nice money off coupon on the box, too!

Vin's producing this movie, so I'm assuming he had more control. Hey, as long as there's a hot big block pulling its front end off the ground, I'm happy!
