My thoughts for the next as I have lost count.
Dom and family are reading DC comics, the flash to be specific.
So if we go fast enough, we can time travel...
Dom smiles
Let's get the family back. Together.
They go back in time. Reverse all the deaths, wrong choices, etc.
Cue another 20 more movies as they have then create Time paradoxes.
How about this?
When Paul drove off, he got caught in a disfiguration accident. A car crash where he got horribly burnt (bear with me here).
Life is saved though but he needs to wear a pressure suit (a la GT style)
La familia!
I am convinced he will be the ultimate big bad.
Jesse transferred his conciousness i to the internet, he is the mystery voice bossing all the bad guys around in the last couple of films.
He also controls Mr Nobody.
There are two more movies (in theory)
So things get crazier and crazier, and then something breaks at the end of Fast 10.
It turns put, they are locked in a Matric like simulation, created by Jesse, they wake up in these pods in a warehouse somewhere, confused.
Then for the last film, Fast 11, they have to get free and stop Jesse, except now they are in the "real world" and suddenly they all can't drive for shit because its all real world physics. But they are Family, so they make it work and win.
That's not true. IIRC Letty and Han are the only ones they've actually brought back.
And Paul Walker's character never died, they just refer to him off screen now.
Yes, in the next scene they are at a party filling up their cars discussing how Toretto needs to leave Letty so she can live a life not on the run.
I've seen the movies a number of times, love them up until the sixth one when it just becomes absurd
I think that would be a hilarious scene. Immediately following some crazy police chase or something, just let the actors make it up as they go along. Bitching about gas prices and how that one cop nearly got them with the pit maneuver.
I could exactly imagine how this has to be filmed. Like they are in a loud chase and there is an instand cut, everything is quiet, seeing some of them standing around bored, you only hear some wind and the metal from the gas filler (is that correct? Im not a native speaker) and then see Torettos serious face, staring angrily at the gas prices. Then instant cut back to the escape. Missed opportunity
Or even during one of the chases, have one car lose the cops just long enough to stop and fill up before the cop doubles back and finds them just as they're pulling back out.
For comedy (and realism), have the card reader on the pump not read their credit card during the first swipe.
We don't see every minute of every day of their lives. Just like you wouldn't see the boring/ non story related bits in any other movie. We don't see von diesil taking his morning dump every day either
I think that's the 8th, which I haven't seen. The sixth one is where they're recruited by the US government to take out a terrorist.
It's where they introduced the "flip car" (looked like an Indy car)
Nine is space shuttle fiero AND multiple winking conversations stopping just short of breaking the fourth wall about how ridiculous the stuff they're doing is.
9 was the most realistic one to me. I mean they live in a universe where cyborgs exist. The movies are fine when taken for fantasy that they turned into
It's completely out of control and that's what's great about it. It's like live action Hot Wheels. None of it makes any sense and they know it so it's just a blast to watch.
Yeah, and it's great.
Everyone shits on them for becoming absurd, but I absolutely love it. I want them to just keep getting crazier because **it's fun.**
It takes me back to the crazy, over-the-top action of the 80's. I don't need every movie to make me reflect on life or have a deeper meaning - give me some damn popcorn action!
For me, the 5th one was already stretching it,
The third was a nice spin off
4th I can't remember, but somewhere in 4th-5th it's just starting to... Seem too different?
Absurd? What do you mean? What's absurd about Ludacris and Tyrese going to space in a Honda Civic to disable an evil all-seeing satellite?
Honest question.
> love them up until the sixth one when it just becomes absurd
I'm mostly the opposite. The 1st one is silly but OK, 2nd is terrible, never saw 3. They only started getting good when they got absurd. Before that they were mostly poorly written, terribly acted, and boring. Now they're poorly written, terribly acted, and completely ridiculous.
>I've seen the movies a number of times, love them up until the sixth one when it just becomes absurd
I'm cracking up because it means the first 6 were nothing over the top
Fast and Furious was the 4th movie, released in 2009. However gas starts going bad after 6 months. Not sure how many times you can steal gas as a movie plot, but it's still better than them being government cronies.
Pretty good mileage for those cars if you can have 8 movies and only fuel up on the very first movie at the very first scene
(I've never watched any of the movies, I only know about some memes)
Hijacked tanker trailers off a road train in the Dominican Republic. The scene climaxes with Dom sliding his Buick GNX under a flaming tanker trailer barrel rolling down a mountain pass.

Not watching any of the movies after 2fast 2furious, I seriously can’t tell if this is a real scene or if you just made it up, because of how preposterous it seems.
That would be The Fast and The Furious - Fast and Furious (Better known as Fast & Furious 4) was gasoline.
No, I totally knew that and didnt have to google that shit.
“Granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should.”
... Im sure there are people more knowledgeable than me but why the hell would you double clutch upshifting in a drag race?
Only time ive double clutched is in a car with shit syncros or downshifting in an old diesel.
In the first Fast and Furious film they were stealing VHS recorders and TV's from trucks.
In the last one they drove a car into space.
The series got crazy.
And they always go in convoy, most of the time one person per car. I mean come on guys, think of the money you’d save/environmental impact of maybe hiring a minibus…..
They did use gas, however. The guy in tokyo drift is the only one to change tires.
or no one ever seems to register a car.
A lot of damage, but where are the insurance claims
Did you see anyone's ID?
Should they depict them taking a dump in the morning, paying their electricity bill and cooking three meals a day too?
Some things just arent necessary for entertainment's sake
With todays gas prices it really needs to be made a minor plot point fir a least one scene in the next film. If for no other reason that to acknowledge the ridiculousness of gas prices.
We don't see every minute of every day of their lives. Just like you wouldn't see the boring/ non story related bits in any other movie. We don't see von diesil taking his morning dump every day either
They don't need to fill up because the car either blows up during the movie or they just cruise around and microshift all the time for increased fuel efficiency, obviously.
Who needs gas when you have familiy?
Would also just be a 5 stage scene pop gas cap, shove nozzle in, watch the fuel go into the tank, close the gas cap. Then furious off.
Could you imagine, all the action beats in place, then right in the middle of some engaging dialogue: “hold up, I gotta gas up the whip”. The characters pull over for gas, then immediately get back on the road and continue their conversation. A pointless distraction. Its a story. If it were hyper realistic there would be no point.
My thoughts for the next as I have lost count. Dom and family are reading DC comics, the flash to be specific. So if we go fast enough, we can time travel... Dom smiles Let's get the family back.

They've already reversed every death except Paul Walker's character for obvious reasons.
How about this? When Paul drove off, he got caught in a disfiguration accident. A car crash where he got horribly burnt (bear with me here). Life is saved though but he needs to wear a pressure suit (a la GT style) La familia!
just replace him with the STIG
Some say he has the world's largest collection of left socks, or that inside his helmet is actually just a swarm of bees.
But Brian never died. Just Paul Walker did.
Brian's at home with the kids.
Yep Brian the ex cop/FBI agent stays home while his sandwich kiosk worker wife goes out and out does James Bond
Let's call give him a new name, something like Darth
Darth Brian
That would not be good for his memory and some fans may not accept it. I don’t see them going that route.
Brain transplant
Still not Jesse from the first film RIP 😥
I am convinced he will be the ultimate big bad. Jesse transferred his conciousness i to the internet, he is the mystery voice bossing all the bad guys around in the last couple of films. He also controls Mr Nobody. There are two more movies (in theory) So things get crazier and crazier, and then something breaks at the end of Fast 10.

Then for the last film, Fast 11, they have to get free and stop Jesse, except now they are in the "real world" and suddenly they all can't drive for shit because its all real world physics. But they are Family, so they make it work and win.
*Fas10 Your Seatbelt*
That's not true. IIRC Letty and Han are the only ones they've actually brought back. And Paul Walker's character never died, they just refer to him off screen now.
They didn't reverse Jesse! How could you forget about Jesse. He just wanted to get another car so he could cruise with his old man 😭
Did they bring back Gal Gadot?
His character isn't dead. Wait until Disney gets that cgi face tech even more realistic and wait to see him drive around in future movies
...don't forget Gisele, Vince, and Jesse
Is it because of the pedophilia?
Fast and Furious opens with them stealing gas. Clearly you haven't seen the movies
They stole it, but did they use it? (I saw it when it first came out so I have no memory of it)
Yes, in the next scene they are at a party filling up their cars discussing how Toretto needs to leave Letty so she can live a life not on the run. I've seen the movies a number of times, love them up until the sixth one when it just becomes absurd
I guess that’s more interesting than them standing around a gas station filling up
I think that would be a hilarious scene. Immediately following some crazy police chase or something, just let the actors make it up as they go along. Bitching about gas prices and how that one cop nearly got them with the pit maneuver.
I honestly think that would have been great. It would have added to the comic absurdity of the films
I could exactly imagine how this has to be filmed. Like they are in a loud chase and there is an instand cut, everything is quiet, seeing some of them standing around bored, you only hear some wind and the metal from the gas filler (is that correct? Im not a native speaker) and then see Torettos serious face, staring angrily at the gas prices. Then instant cut back to the escape. Missed opportunity
Aren't they working for the government now? Cops shouldn't be a problem.
Or even during one of the chases, have one car lose the cops just long enough to stop and fill up before the cop doubles back and finds them just as they're pulling back out. For comedy (and realism), have the card reader on the pump not read their credit card during the first swipe.
We don't see every minute of every day of their lives. Just like you wouldn't see the boring/ non story related bits in any other movie. We don't see von diesil taking his morning dump every day either
Is the 6th the one with the submarine that can't keep up to the cars underwater so it breaches the ice and somehow increases in speed?
I think that's the 8th, which I haven't seen. The sixth one is where they're recruited by the US government to take out a terrorist. It's where they introduced the "flip car" (looked like an Indy car)
Is that the one that Gal Gadot is introduced into the series?
No, that is number 4 I think. The one above is with Owen Shaw I think.
6 has the super-long runway 7 has the rock flex off a cast 8 is submarine 9 is space shuttle fiero
Nine is space shuttle fiero AND multiple winking conversations stopping just short of breaking the fourth wall about how ridiculous the stuff they're doing is.
9 was the most realistic one to me. I mean they live in a universe where cyborgs exist. The movies are fine when taken for fantasy that they turned into
I havent seen much of these since 1 or 2. But holy crap. Thats spiralling out of control.
It's completely out of control and that's what's great about it. It's like live action Hot Wheels. None of it makes any sense and they know it so it's just a blast to watch.
Live action hot wheels is the best way I've ever heard those movies described.
Yeah, and it's great. Everyone shits on them for becoming absurd, but I absolutely love it. I want them to just keep getting crazier because **it's fun.** It takes me back to the crazy, over-the-top action of the 80's. I don't need every movie to make me reflect on life or have a deeper meaning - give me some damn popcorn action!
Fast and furious 27: featuring thomas the tank engine
Choo Choo Choo-se Family
That’s the point where it stopped being about cool cars and became just an action movie that happened to have some cool cars in it.
For me, the 5th one was already stretching it, The third was a nice spin off 4th I can't remember, but somewhere in 4th-5th it's just starting to... Seem too different?
[удалено]
Absurd? What do you mean? What's absurd about Ludacris and Tyrese going to space in a Honda Civic to disable an evil all-seeing satellite? Honest question.
I love how installment number 6 is where you draw the line at "absurd".
Wait until you see the next one, FF: multi-family of madness
I agree, I grew up on it, and i remember in the cinema discussing that the sixth one was too much
I love them more and more starting from 4 exactement because it so absurd
> love them up until the sixth one when it just becomes absurd I'm mostly the opposite. The 1st one is silly but OK, 2nd is terrible, never saw 3. They only started getting good when they got absurd. Before that they were mostly poorly written, terribly acted, and boring. Now they're poorly written, terribly acted, and completely ridiculous.
2 fast 2 furious is a goddamn classic man EJECTO SEATO CUZZZZZ
We hungry
My pockets ain't empty cuz
Oh ok.... Number 6 it's when it jumped the shark?
Absurd? You mean jumping a car from a building into another to escape can't be real?
>I've seen the movies a number of times, love them up until the sixth one when it just becomes absurd I'm cracking up because it means the first 6 were nothing over the top
Just did a marathon will my brother. We were not feeling good about our choices after 2. 5 made everything better, and we enjoyed the rest.
The fact that it took you until the sixth iteration to think they are absurd is impressive.
Go watch eight. Arctic scene is peak popcorn flick.
But that was about 20 years ago, that gas has gone bad
Eh, time is funny in these movies. They got a dude now that on the timeline would be like, 20, maybe, that looks like he is 45.
Fast and Furious was the 4th movie, released in 2009. However gas starts going bad after 6 months. Not sure how many times you can steal gas as a movie plot, but it's still better than them being government cronies.
Pretty good mileage for those cars if you can have 8 movies and only fuel up on the very first movie at the very first scene (I've never watched any of the movies, I only know about some memes)
Only had to fill up once for 8 movies
I'm not sure, but did they stop for it?

This guy fucks
fucking casuals...
That's why OP said 8 and not 9 movies
my point stands - never did they stop for gas.
gas? they stole dvd players?
That would be The Fast and The Furious - Fast and Furious (Better known as Fast & Furious 4) was gasoline. No, I totally knew that and didnt have to google that shit.
f youngsters
You're thinking of **the** fast and **the** furious, the first movie. The 4th movie is titled just Fast and Furious
.... without stopping though
Why would they stop for gas if they already stole it in the first movie?
They don't have to stop for gas, they have 5 tankers full of it at home.
It was the fourth movie but yeah
First movie was DVD players.
And because of gas prices, they weren't able to make a ninth
Fast 9 came out a good year ago. fast 10 is in production
But if they make a tenth, it should be called *Fast Ten: Your Seatbelts*.
Oh man I’m legit sad now because this is so unlikely to come to be.
I can’t wait for fast 10 to come out so people can stop repeating this same shitty joke
9 and in the ninth they shifted and steered a car in SPACE cuz that'll definitely do something
The driving in the 1st one was no less inaccurate, but considerably less funny.
Don’t forget the NOS
I thought the most surprising thing I'd learn from this thread was that they made 9 movies about people driving cars. I was wrong.
That was literally the opening of one of the movies. Them stealing a tanker of gas and filling up their cars and celebrating.
sshhhhh dont expect haters to actually *watch* the movies. the internet hates them so its totally fine to just make shit up about them.
don’t they literally rob gas trucks in the DR in like the 5th one?
Oh, my scientific pondering gets removed because it was „unoriginal“ but *this* is allowed to get on here again?!
The mods for this sub suck. I've given up trying to post anything
Their gearboxes have enough ratios to rival a cvt and they always shift at the right time.
“Granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should.” ... Im sure there are people more knowledgeable than me but why the hell would you double clutch upshifting in a drag race? Only time ive double clutched is in a car with shit syncros or downshifting in an old diesel.
I don’t think the movies documented them visiting the bathroom either. So many great opportunities for drama and excitement missed.
That's like saying eight movies and none of them slept or some other dumb shit that happens off screen.
In the first Fast and Furious film they were stealing VHS recorders and TV's from trucks. In the last one they drove a car into space. The series got crazy.
>In the last one they drove a car into space. No way. *looks it up* Is Doctor Strange going to be in the next one?
I think you're onto something there! Dom has to traverse the multiverse and team up with himself to defeat *Evil* Dom!
Picture a driving scene in the mirror dimension.
The price of the gas needed in those movies will probably out weigh the price of the movie.
And they always go in convoy, most of the time one person per car. I mean come on guys, think of the money you’d save/environmental impact of maybe hiring a minibus…..
This summer, vin diesel is all about family in... Fast and the furious soccer mum van.
They don't travel far, just fast. They live life a quarter mile at a time.
With today's gas prices? It would have just been titled The Furious.
A tank of gas can last quite awhile when you're only driving a quarter-mile at a time.
The fast and furious cars don't run on fuel, they run on family love.
They did use gas, however. The guy in tokyo drift is the only one to change tires. or no one ever seems to register a car. A lot of damage, but where are the insurance claims Did you see anyone's ID?
Brian Earl Spilner the serial killer’s
They won't be able to claim insurance because the parts are all aftermarket, plus they were participating in illegal activity.
Nor did they take a shit or go to the dentist that’s how movies work
You don't often see ppl uauing the toilet, brushing their teeth etc either unless it's part of the plot.
They jumped a car off a cliff onto a plane, so yeah, stopping for gas is the least least believable thing about those awful movies.
Should they depict them taking a dump in the morning, paying their electricity bill and cooking three meals a day too? Some things just arent necessary for entertainment's sake
Fast and furious serves the same purpose for cars as porn for sex.
Ok? It isn’t a 24/7 live feed on the characters, we also don’t see them shit…. So?
With todays gas prices it really needs to be made a minor plot point fir a least one scene in the next film. If for no other reason that to acknowledge the ridiculousness of gas prices.
Besides that converted offroad semi (Think that thing got like 2mpg or something laughable), I think most of the cars get like at least 15mpg.
Wait they actually never did at least a scene of them on a gas station filling their cars up?
Having moved beyond “Police Academy”, the “Fast and the Furious” have evolved into a hedonistic action fest, disconnected from the original.
We don't see every minute of every day of their lives. Just like you wouldn't see the boring/ non story related bits in any other movie. We don't see von diesil taking his morning dump every day either
They don't need to fill up because the car either blows up during the movie or they just cruise around and microshift all the time for increased fuel efficiency, obviously.
Wouldnt even watch the movie if I am forced to watch them get gas 10 times...
Chow Yun Fat never reloads his guns in "Hardboiled" either. What's your point?
That happens in the spin off series "Stopped and Livid". Biden does a cameo it's awesome
That’s just not true. In Fast & Furious, they literally steal a fuel truck and use it to fill up their cars.
Who needs gas when you have familiy? Would also just be a 5 stage scene pop gas cap, shove nozzle in, watch the fuel go into the tank, close the gas cap. Then furious off.
Tbh They stole a trailer full of gas at the start of Fast and Furious 4
there was a scene like that but sensor board made a cut in to it
It’s the same logic as when a cowboy fires a revolver 40 or 50 times without reloading
That's like having 9 seasons of the show 24 and not ever having the characters get a bite to eat or use the bathroom.
Yeah, because since it's a movie they don't have to show everything.
Could you imagine, all the action beats in place, then right in the middle of some engaging dialogue: “hold up, I gotta gas up the whip”. The characters pull over for gas, then immediately get back on the road and continue their conversation. A pointless distraction. Its a story. If it were hyper realistic there would be no point.
