The trailer for Fast and Furious 8 will debut on December 11, Here's a Featurette about it.

Yessssss. I can't wait.

Here's a teaser for the trailer that will debut on Sunday, It's now officially titled. "The Fate of the Furious"

I've never seen any of these movies ever, but what's the appeal? Explosions, fast cars, and sexy women? Is that all there is to these movies? 'Cause that's all that I've seen from 30 second clips.

I've never seen any of the movies either as I don't really care about cars which is most of the appeal based on marketing but I had a friend whose opinion I trust mention how it's a pretty epic saga that starts rather superficial but builds upon it and actually goes back and explains plotholes from previous movies and gives explanations and builds entire movies on something that was kind of not explained very well. So it actually makes me really curious to watch it once since that's the level of continuity fixing I've always done with other franchises on the internet with others and here we have a real life version of someone actually doing it.

So these movies actually have good plot and continuity? Might have to borrow them all from the family collection then.

They do, actually. It doesn't change the fact that they're ridiculous and should have been made by Michael Bay (seriously, it's all just explosions, bikinis, and sports cars), but 4, 5, 6, and 7 were at least entertaining popcorn action blockbusters.

Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker... eh, they're watchable once. I was begged to watch the entire series with my friend and brother. I don't REGRET it, I just have no desire to ever see them again.

Good to know then. When I get around to them, they should make for good family weekend-movies. :)

Here's the trailer.

Oh my God I'm so happyyyyy.

Dom is clearly under deep cover, that's clearly going to be the big reveal. But where's Lucas Black in this?

They showed literally everything in the trailer, but I do want to see all that for 2 hours. Michael Bay must be kicking himself for not coming up with this idea.

I couldn't get through it all. Really cringey. Kinda seemed like it was trying too hard to be "badass" :|

Yeah, these movies are glorious schlock.

That looks so stupid and over-the-top. I look forward to being dragged to see it by my Furious-fanatic friend. :tlol:

That had every corny cliche you can think of in it. I love it.

Won't spend a penny to see it, (why would I? All the good stuff was crammed in there in under three minutes already) but I love it.

Oh, I love these movies. The sad part now, I think, will be watching it become the "Look how cool I am in every scene and how everything should revolve around me" Vin Diesel show, just like he twisted the Pitch Black universe to be. At least when Walker was still around he could be kept in check a bit... without him, I think the bottom will fall out quite a bit.

I've never seen any of them outside of trailers, but I love fun, dumb action movies so I'll probably start the series sometime soon.

If you do, you can skip 3 and 4. Maybe even start at 5 if you're pressed for time. There would be references you miss, though.

Skip 4? Where everyone is in 5 would make no sense, particular after where 2 left things.

You right dawg, you right. It just sucks compared to the others.

I really dug it at the time. Now, it's unfortunately a revenge movie whose vengeance was retroactively neutered by Letty still being alive. It's probably better than Part 7, though (a revenge movie where they don't even pretend to get any).

I guess I would tell skeptical people to start with part 5 and then, if they like it, to watch the other ones in the proper order. If someone doesn't dig 5, they're probably going to hate the rest.

Which one is out of order in terms of the story? I know that certain movies in the franchise come before other ones.

3 happens between 6 and 7.

Can also throw in "Better Luck Tomorrow" as an official installment in the series. I'd watch it before the first movie or before 4. Gives you the first chapter of Han's story.

I dunno about that. 7 probably loses steam after that bitching mountain scene and the final sequence is a little long, but I would still take it over 4 aaaaany day.

No way. 4 was a pretty tightly knit revenge movie... Furious 7 is all over the map thematically (and I'm not even sure had Walker not died that would have saved things), even if never not being fun to watch for the spectacle of it.

Haha, yeah. I prefer the spectacle, that's why I like 7 more despite being all over the place. I was bored all through 4.

This is news to me. Is the chronological order 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7?

3 is sprinkled around a bit. The bulk of it happens right after 6, but the epilogue in 3 where Dom races Sean, that happens right in the middle of 7.

Technically, the order you should go to have it all make maximum sense and not prematurely spoil anything is...

1
2
Better Luck Tomorrow
4
5
6, and turn it off before the mid-end credits scene.
3, turn it off before the epilogue with Dom & Sean racing, then afterward watch 6's mid-end credits scene.
7

That should make it all flow perfect. And don't forget to watch 2's "Turbo Charged Prelude" short film before 2 (it's included in most/all DVD/blu-ray releases) and 4's "Los Bandoleros" short film before 4 (same, I think). Both expand things a bit, moreso the latter.

That is correct.

I have never been truly excited to watch F&F movies, but all this is exactly the kind of stuff that makes my brain moist. If there are no continuation errors to be seen... I'm not going to get my hopes up too much.

Dang, if only most movie franchises were treated with this kind of love. :(

I was finally able to see the trailer and this film sure looks like it's going to be one wild ride! I'm also looking forward seeing Charlize Theron play a different villain form Queen Ravenna. The trailer has already broken the live-action Beauty and the Beast's record as the trailer with the most views in 24 hours, with 139 million views.

I was wondering the same thing. It was rumored that he was signed for this new trilogy and that he would become the import guy and Dom's right hand like Walker used to be.

Well, I guess they didn't show Helen Mirren's character in this, either, and she's supposedly the true big bad. Maybe they're saving Black and Mirren for a later trailer. Little odd that Black is being so quiet about things... he was blasting Twitter about his little cameo in 7 way before that came out (though maybe his absolutely silence about 8 might lend credence to him having a big part).

I like this series - it's amusing how it has evolved from low-key crime drama to James Bond on steroids.

Tokyo Drift's chronological position is hilariously tortured. I love the scenes in 7 with a 120 year old Lucas Black pretending to be a high school student. It's almost as funny as Vin Diesel drift racing that Chevy down the ramps of a parking garage.

We never get to see that, though. It's funny to imagine, though.

New trailer. Is that Sean at about 00:43? On top of the car firing?
