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.


Cure 12-11-2016 07:27 PM

Oh my God I'm so happyyyyy.

Andrew NDB 12-11-2016 10:09 PM

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

AT-Man 12-12-2016 05:25 AM

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.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 12-12-2016 11:03 AM

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

ZariusTwo 12-12-2016 11:06 AM

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.

Andrew NDB 12-12-2016 12:43 PM

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.
