  1. I have never watched any of the F&F movies and I paradoxicalyl regret and don’t regret that.

  4. Ohhh Genies! What a good idea for the next movie. Might explain how Dom’s shirts always stay white without getting dirty.

  5. Damn, just think of all the sharks they jumped over on the way to space…

  6. I mean, no one has taken these movies seriously since *Tokyo Drift*, so they might as well make them as outlandishly entertaining as possible.

  7. I don’t even know what this means. Like they literally had a plot where they drove a car into space?

  8. Of course you can, you simply need to make them go back in time and stop them from going to space.

    Where’s my consulting fees?

  9. There is no rule that says you can’t just make a realistic Fast movie and ignore the insanity.

  10. Then I suggest, fusing the Transformers and Fast and Furious franchises. Have the main characters team up with the Transformers to defeat world evil, i.e. ICE!

    Call it: The Fast and the Furious Transformers: Libertas

  11. You can literally see the track of Tyrese’s age deterioration by watching these movies.

  13. Honestly its more embarrassing they are apologizing
    They fucking redirected torpedos with their bare hands let it be a spectacle cowards

  14. Well don’t stop now, next movie should be them racing in Mars where the cars drift faster with a thinner atmosphere and they have to steal a truck full of Martian dvd players

  15. Going into space wasn’t the problem with fast and furious. Having no actors want to be in scenes with Vin and CGIing his body in every shop is

  16. I loved this franchise up until Fast 5. Every iteration after has been worse and worse. Didn’t even bother with the last one. They completely ruined it making them superhero’s. So fucking stupid.

  17. Yup. Idiots. Should’ve saved it for the transformers crossover

  18. Oh come on , it’s sooooo easy to reset the series !!!! Who is missing from all of this ??

    VINCE !! He was hurt during the truck highjacking.

    Just have the whole thing in his head as a result of him watching tv and day dreaming about his friends who visit him at extended care home .

    Clearly his brain was deprived of oxygen a little too long .

    Turns out dom and letty have a garage building custom cars and exaggerate their stories. “ we had a fiero go so fast it could blast off in to space , but it’s so small you couldn’t fit in it , Vince .

    Mr Nobody is the homes owner/manger that takes care of problems..

    Hobbs and Shaw are 2 staff who take care of patients, but argue a lot.. over sports and cars and occasionally spar in the fitness room .

    😃😆🤪

    SEE !!! It’s easy to get back to car racing.

  19. That was the stupidest part of any of those movies. And is someone who works in aerospace I was just shaking my head and laughing my ass off at how stupid that was

  20. Pfft, now they need to send Dom and the family into the nether realms. Lean into the madness!

  21. Aw dang gotta take a chance on a new IP I guess instead of making Fast 11 or 12 or whatever.

    Schucks!

    And this is coming from someone who has watched most of them.

  22. It’s that what happens when you get an 8 year old to design your scripts (Onion article.) I heard there is dinosaurs, robots and monsters in the next movie. Oh…. .better yet.. why not a tie in with Sharknado..

  24. Forget jumping the shark, they jumped the whole planet.

  25. Regret nothing, good madame. My first post-COVID cinema experience was being stoned in IMAX watching Ludacris and Tyrese flying through space in a Toyota. It was glorious.
