Fast 5

[Paul]

Loved it. LOVED IT.

It fits nicely after Fast & Furious and the next one, ''Sexy 6'' will plug the gap between this one and Tokyo Drift. Leaving us with one hell of a film to fit after Tokyo Drift. Cannot wait. There was 3 or 4 parts of this one that got me a bit emotional if I'm honest, I know it sounds quite sad but I've grown up with these characters and this storyline.

I know what you mean with growing up with them, there were a few points that I though 'good for you' especially disappearing with the money!

It should work out really well with all of the films! I was saying the other day that I hope they keep making them, however I also hope they make one less than the audience wants - I would hate them to end on a crap one... :001_huh:

Well, the staff wanted to transition more towards ''action'' films instead of ''car'' films and planned to do 3 films in the ''action'' style to tie the series up. Fast 5 is the first of these films, so it fits well with how I'm thinking that 6 will bridge this to TD and the last ''action'' style film will be a big, post TD finale. I think whatever comes after TD would have to wrap it up as a fair few of the ''family'' have snuffed it by that point and like you say, it'd be a shame to keep dragging it on and ruin it.

Hahaha, yeah I loved that bit, very clever how they did it!!! Also when they rescue Hobbs and when Vince comes back, it's like old times.

I think if you're as sad as me and you seem to be then you'll get more from this film as you'll see little hints towards the past ones etc.

I finally saw it last night. Was brilliant, apart from my 30 second toilet break didn't take my eyes off the screen! I like how the whole thing has gone from cheesy to bit more grown up.

But as always NOS has to be slid inside there somewhere huh? lol

 

[Willis]

Yes!!! NOS!!! And a twin bottle set up at that, just like the original RX7!!!

 

[Paul]

Yeah I completely agree! About the 'sad' bit too, however I prefer the term 'enthusiastic' LMAO!

Yeah there were loads of nods to the previous ones and I think more than a few towards the future ones too. Monte Carlo being one of them IMO!

Yeah I would be happy with a wrap up after the TD sequel - I just hope it is a goodie!

LOL Yeah gotta have NOS!

 

[Willis]

Vin has always said he wants to do Europe as it's the one major territory (in car terms) they haven't yet done...

And like you say, Berlin & Monaco are pretty much in Europe so the signs are good.

 

[Ed...]

ooooo not seen it yet but will hopefully go at weekend

 

[Willis]

Do it mate, it's well worth seeing on the big screen.

 

[Liambo-201]

Yeah def worth seeing on the big screen! The film has grown up quite a bit.

 

[BenW]

I just finished watching the first fast and furious, it was a great film back in the day and isn't bad now but compared to the new one it certainly shows its age

 

[Paul]

Yeah I agree with that. Its sort of grown up as the audience have. I do miss some of the racing though...

 

[BenW]

The racing is very need for speed like, changing down half way through a drag race to get MORE POWER and crazy drifts around the corners, all in stickered up cars with crap body kits! Think people are a bit past the max power stuff now but yea a bit more racing would have been nice in the new one

I swear some of the cars in the first two films have at least 9 gears judging by the amount of shifts!

 

[liam92]

Id have liked more 911 GT3 drifting personally... Excellent choice of colour the director had too

 

[Paul]

The thing is I saw a porter for the film a couple of months ago and sort of proved that I can be a car geek...

I said it wasn't a gt3 at all, guess what its not really. It just has the stickers... ;/

 

[Gazeratti]

You car geek you, would catch me saying owt like thet lol
