I'll have to agree the heist angle has made them watchable again. I will say when they first came out I was all like "I'm totally getting a body kit and coffee can exhaust" now I see the first three on TV and I'm thoroughly embarrassed.

Car warfare! Very cool. I heard 6 & 7 were shot back to back, I still find it strange that they disregarded part 3 and just place it after the new ones. Seems The Rock is turning into Sam Jackson & gets in every movie everywhere haha. What would be cool is making part 1 from Dom's point of view with more truck heists. With so many F&F movies and the whole original cast together, I'd say its not impossible!

As long as they make em, I'll keep watching them. The first few were fun and totally played on the street racing craze that was the rage back then and now they're going in a different direction is awesome to keep it fresh. You still get your car porn but there's more to it than that.
I didn't mind Tokyo drift except when they made that abomination mustang with ricer parts. The sounds coming out of that car should never ever ever be allowed. It was still a good movie and I'm glad they're disregarding/making it the last film chronologically so they can keep Han as he's a great character.

There isn't a continuity problem in the series. At least not technically. The 3rd "Tokyo Drift" movie is still the last movie in the timeline as far as I know. When they restarted the franchise with #4, they set it in between #2 and #3. They have continued this timeline in #5,6,7 as far as I know.
So they're basically trying to pretend #3 didn't happen in the practical sense. They're just carrying on as if it wasn't so long of a gap between the first two movies and the rest of the newer ones.

This is to cars what the Expendables is to war...
So many scenes of absolute chaos with cars flipping, unscathed, and driving through various things: Glass, road barriers, overpass rubble, C-17 cockpits
opcorn
That tank scene gave me a small heart attack:thumbsup

F&F movies are my guilty pleasures. If we're being honest, they're not very good but I've gone to the cinema to see every one of them. Just something keeps pulling me back.
And no, it's not a man crush with Paul Walker..........I swear.

Fast And Furious is a guilty pleasure of mine as well.
Even though I was once a tuner myself, I've always hated many parts of the first one especially the part when they're talking about SR20 motors being stolen out of Hondas. And a Ferrari F355 F1 losing to a Supra Turbo. I don't care how modified the Supra was, I call pure bull. The floor panel falling off the Eclipse and a myriad of other little things I nitpick about the other films in the series. And still, I go and watch them when they're released to theaters just like I'll go and watch the new one.
And Tokyo Drift is my favorite of the series. I love drifting and I simply loved the Silvia S15 and the Veilside RX-7 that was in it.

Spoiler regarding Han:
From what I've seen of behind the scenes photos, Han's orange and black RX-7 from Tokyo Drift is introduced in FF6. So it appears they're still sticking with that timeline...

I'm stoked - though I have to admit it, when the first movie came out I hardly believed that there would be 6 of them!! Well, if they keep making'em and they are **** poor, I'll keep going to see'em!

Actually, that particular MKIV Supra was at dynoed 544 horse without the 100 shot laughing gas. Then you add the electronics to weigh it down and no way it would beat a F355 F1 in stock trim or the 348 that they also used in that scene in a 1/4 mile or even one mile drag.

re: Fast & Furious 6 (Post-release)
Ive driven both those Ferraris, the F1 355 is respectable but not as fast as that level Supra and the 348 is a piece of wood. It's totally realistic. The fasted one I ever drove was a 1989 TR with Twin Turbos. That was fast.
re: Fast & Furious 6 (Post-release)
Agreed. Most of the famous Italian exotics aren't all that fast in a straight line compared to a well done hot rod.
I was glad the storyline didn't portray Paul Walker's Supra as being faster than Vinnie's '70 Dodge Charger though. A blown 426 Hemi is some serious Old-Testament sh**t.
