I'm fine with this. I enjoyed the shit out of the first one. And it certainly wasn't because it had those "the"s in the title.
-
Even shorter!
-
Yikes.
-
I mean, I don't care or anything, but seriously... Are people actually getting stupider?
-
Always gettin in way of me going fast & furious!
-
Paul walker Gotta get acting lessons.
-
just have it be the sound of cars whizzing by.
-
Fantastic Four was originally titled, "The Fan the Tastic the Four". So look how shortening that titled worked out.
-
The one where mankind is enslaved by talking cars and the only way Vin DIesel and Paul Walker can save our species is to drive around really fast in said vocal vehicles.

Because it's how it's marketed in the rest of the world...
by l0ne@email.it
... starting with The Fast & The Furious (the first).
-
"The The" had already been taken.
-
"FF" had already been taken.
-
Can Hironymous Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe And Find True happiness" was already taken.
-
That way you get the superhero box office crowd's cash too.
-
The fastest, most beautiful love story ever told.
-
Vin Diesel narrowly avoids death in a horrific car crash and becomes a born again Christian as a result. But with a really fast car.
-
A prequel to the smash-hit 'The Fast And The Furious' which chronicles the rise of Vin Diesel in the cut-throat world of illegal street racing. In really fast cars.
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker stumble across a familiar looking DeLorean, catapulting them into an adventure across time. In a really fast car.
-
See the wooden grain in Paul Walker's face. See Vin Diesel's glands!
And a fast car!
(Cohen-free!) -
Because if the audience can't handle "the", then they shouldn't be asked to count that high.
-
AND SCREW YOU ARTICLES!
-
The one with the face like a smacked arse? She scared me.
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker drive a really fast flying car powered by michelle rodriguez finger banging flubber.

That's how I roll

what you call it to the chavish kev's in their blinged up noise making corsa's and nova's to whom these films are Ben Hurr. They'll just spend their benefits to buy pirate copies of it!

No plot. Just pictures of fast-looking cars, menacing-looking Asians and Latinos, and LED lights galore.
Here's the script:
Asian Guy 1: "CAR."
Latino Guy 1: "UNH HUH! CAR!!!"
Asian Guy 2: "FAST."
Latino Guy 1: "UNH HUH! FAST!!"
Asian Girl 1: "OOOoooh! CAR."
Latino Guy 1: "UNH HUH! GIRL! CAR!
Asian Guy 1: "VROOM?"
Latino Guy 1: "UNH HUH! VROOM!!!"
Asian Guy 3: "LIGHTS...CAR FAST!"
All: "UNH HUH! FAST! VROOOOM!"
This is, of course, the Director's Cut. -
Suck it up
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are star crossed lovers, but there is one major obstacle in their way; they each prefer a different really fast car manufacturer to the other. Will their love overcome all that stands in their way, or have they been cursed to spend their lives apart from one another?
-
This is the first 'annoying title talkback' I've ever participated in, and I've discovered it amuses me greatly, so get on or get outta the way.
-
... they should just call it "Fast N Furyuz"
-
Die Hard In A Really Fast Car
-
...FNF4!
-
Talk about our love for all things Fast and Furious? PPPPBBBBSSSSSHHH!
-
Paul Walker walks away from a bloody pile-up with a severe case of amnesia. Lost in a world he no longer remembers, it takes his best friend, Vin Diesel, and a really fast car, to help him rediscover his most precious memories.
-
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and their really fast cars go international as their adventures take them to the United Kingdom, where they immediately stumble upon a drug-smuggling ring and are forced to team-up with renegade maverick really fast car driver Jason Statham to bring the bad guys down.
-
not that i give a shit about this franchise, but honestly, is that the best they could come up with? how about a cleverly retareded FAST AND FURIOUS 4EVER or the tens of other names thrown out on the talkback?
-
"The vowels were confusing to the audience."
-
Paul and Vin Duke must save their town from an influx of ricers. Will American Muscle win out? Can Uncle Jesse learn to love again? Will Daisy find her baby's daddy?
-
Vin struggles with a learning disability. But love conquers all, as he learns to read as he drives really fast.
-
It's shorter and snappier. "I'll have one ticket to FaFuFo please!"
I'll think I'll go kill myself... -
...so maybe this isn't as bad as it could have been?
-
Pull the corncob out of your twat, and go somewhere where someone may actually give a damn what you think. It's not spamming you ignorant Philistine, but thanks for proving what a dumb a-hole you really are. This is a talkback about the Fast and Furious franchise. Should we rather discuss the merit and art of the film? PPPBBSSHHH! So being the cunt you are, you come into a talkback about a silly title about a silly movie to chastise people for doing a silly thing. Life must have been cruel to you. I pity you.
-
what he said
-
the first "Fast and the Furious" was basically a remake of "Point Break"? A few differences aside...undercover cop enters into tight sub-culture (surfing:underground racing) find an anti-hero (Bodie:Dominic) finds a girl who's involved/related to the anti-hero who reluctantly helps the hero (Tyler:Mia) plot involves said sub-cultures involvement with high-stake robbery (ex-presidents robbing banks:modern highway "pirates" robbing shipping trucks). Now Point Break is a guilty pleasure but Fast & the Furious was boring....but surely I'm not the only one to notice? (sorry for calling you Shirly).
-
You are not the first person to note this.
And both films rank about the same in my "guilty pleasure" column. -
how cute.
-
By the way it's 1pm. If you are already on the beers then that explains a lot. Get help.
-
I find it amusing to get people who are wound a little too tight all riled up. I'm trying to see if I can get him to do this all day long.
-
I go like this- when I see them around town driving too fast, I yell "Fast and furious, chico!" or something like that. Sometimes I substitue chico for something else, usually something funny. I've had a few flip me off, I've never had any stop.
-
Genius!
-
if I wasn't amused by people make up goofy title names, or ramming objects up other people's orifices or what they'd like to do to Kristen Bell, I'm sure I'd be... I don't know actually working right now. Bring on all the comedy, I say!
-
Fast Furious.
-
Yeah I know what you mean, bentmywookie. I actually have to go meet with a client, so sadly I can't continue with this. D. Vader you played the part of the Organ-Grinder Monkey brilliantly. I wish you well, and hope you get off the booze and go back and get that GED. Good luck friend.
-
Just saying... Well then again this will most likely have a lot of sucking action. "Sorry slow day"
-
Bababooey
-
Only 20 minutes after stating how he planned on trolling the board all day to annoy people. Some people just can't make up their mind...
-
I mean, the kind of people who like these movies tend to walk around breathing with their mouths open, don't they?
-
First it was First Blood Part IV, then JOHN RAMBO, then RAMBO 4, then simply RAMBO, so what're they gonna end up with fo this? I'll tell ya - F4st 4nd Furious. Pure cheese, but you know it.
-
Back when "2 Fast 2 Furious" came out, I thought the title was awesomely ridiculous and genius, just like the inconsistent Rambo sequel titles that follow no rhyme or reason. I started brainstorming what the 3rd movie's title would be, and came up with: "3x Faster and More Ferocious". Unfortunately they went with the uninventive "Tokyo Drift". But now this "Fast and Furious" development delves into a whole new level of postmodern fun, just like when the fifth Rambo film was named "Rambo". My bet on part 5? "Fast/Furious". Or "Fastrious".
-
'The'
-
I wanna believe seem creative.
-
Change word order for the 5th movie and you are done.
-
that makes me happy
-
You know it to be true.
-
Y not just call it
4 The Fast & Furious -
i dont think the report is correct.....makes no sense to change the title so drastically now
-
that made me LOL
-
"Furious" is too hard to spell. Let's see - "Fast! Mad!" or "Fast 4 Car!" or "Drive! Fight!" Hulk smash! ooops, wrong film.
-
"Quad-F" -
Maybe I'm not talkbacking enough, but the only other title spamming I've seen has been for the Terminator talkbacks, and that last one deserved it not only because the retitling has been drawn out and atrocious but because the article was about THE TITLE. Same here. And I don't see why it would possibly stifle discussion if a bunch of people wanted to discuss something.Also, I might be way too easily amused, but "Terminators of Endearment" was funny (come on, it was) and I fucking love making fun of these Fastriouser movies.
-
"Fast & Furious" will "rape your face and then grind it off" cuz it'll be so good!! not really
-
That's the best shit I've seen in any of these title TBs.
-
a Fast and Furious one and at least one, if not both, Cars 2 TBs. Personally, I enjoy reading them though. "Terminators of Endearment WAS a good one. I seem to remember a handful of really good ones from that TB...think I'll go back and check it out again for a few laughs...
-
you probably weren't even that serious about your post, but you raise an interesting point. I think studios have a strategy these days NOT to change the titles too much and instead keep titling sequels like "Blockbuster Movie: Rise of the Sequels" because it keeps the DVDs together on the shelves, where the studio REALLY make their money back. If yo uhave a trilogy and they're split up on the shelves b/c of title differences, it'll throw things off when people are looking for it (or, decrease the chances of someone seeing it if it's not next to the original movie whose success spawned the sequels.)
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have decided that their really fast cars aren't really fast enough any more. A string of coincidences lead to them discovering a fuel that will make their cars go so fast, they actually launch into space.
-
2000 years in the future, everybody is shit at driving, so scientists decide they need to bring Vin Diesel back to life to show everyone how it's done. The only problem is, to 'resurrect' Vin, they have to clone Paul Walker and make him have a Vin Diesel baby. Hilarity ensues. In really fast cars.
-
The franchise decides it needs to pay even more homage to the classic movie it ripped off the first time, so Vin Diesel and Paul Walker become entangled in a plot to destroy all marine wildlife - and the only way they can save the day is with the help of their new favourite toys. Really fast cars that can SURF. ON WATER.
-
Rob Cohen remakes the much-loved romantic classic, but instead of Ryan Gosling jumping onto ferris wheels and building houses and sitting there reading the same story over and over to his Alzheimer-stricken soulmate, it's just Vin Diesel driving in a really fast car while Paul Walker sits in the passenger seat drawing cartoon dog doodles in a notebook.
-
Gandalf tells Vin Diesel and Paul Walker they need to travel to Mount Doom to destroy the ring. They get in their really fast car and do just that before Gandalf even has time to get into a silly fight with his best mate.
-
it will be that
-
o yea
-
Wow. What you say about me is so detailed. I guess you write what you know. But as sad as your life is, doesn't mean other people share your experience. But if it makes you feel a little better in that bitter wasteland of a heart you have go ahead and insult away. Just remember, next time you start whining about what people are doing in a talkback, you have already lost.
-
Terminators of Endearment just had me rolling on the floor. My challenge for tomorrow (as it's pretty late over here in Blighty right now) is to come up with a TF&TF title that makes me and/or others laugh just as hard. And I won't apologise for title spamming, I'm all for intelligent discussion, but this is a TF&TF talkback and I won't be told (d.vader) that my behaviour in talkbacks has to either be exclusively conversational or exclusively spamful (ding, new word) - I'll mix the two up as and when I see fit. Title spamming is funny, doesn't mean I can't have a sensible conversation, I just probably won't be having one in this talkback.
-
Drop the "and".
-
Keep dropping words!
-
Snappy!
-
Drop all the fucking words! Just a big close up on the poster of Paul Walkers Right Nipple fighting Vin Diesels left nipple.
-
That just might blow peoples minds.
-
like fanboys are unfamiliar with it...
-
did you see the Cars TB from last week? Title spamming GOLD http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36329 (remove the spaces)
-
This thread is certainly one, cause really, who gives a fuck about these movies?
-
in some parts of England means virgina.
-
The porno!
-
thats my pick for the title
-
these movies are the cinematic equivalent of Flavor of Love
-
thats why i hate title rumors so early in production...... look at the rambo movie.....originally it was "john rambo" and it was like that for awhile till someone woke up and realized it was stupid..and made it just RAMBO
-
This time, its personal.
-
Better title
-
The spamming begins anew.
-
VROOOM!
-
When you let Tonto head up your marketing department. The tag line will probably be "Race not over until it over". Or maybe "I feel need, need 4 speed".
-
Vin Diesel realizes he's too old to keep doing this shit when he gets Paul Walker's plea for help. Paul gets broken down while racing and Vin must bring him the son of the auto Paul didn't know he had.
-
I am Furious Fast.
-
And Landonite, yes...people ARE getting stupider if they continue going to movies like this.
-
The fewer numbers and letters, the fewer the target audience will be confused...
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker become 70's style gangsters and do really fast drive-by shootings.
-
Just wanna point out something: the statement 'you're the *one* who has done all the insulting within this debate' is inherently false. Exhibit A: 'Thanks for showing your true colors, douchebag.' Exhibit B: 'Take a breather, drink a beer, and get the sand out of your vagina.' Exhibit C:'there have been enough good stories that I wanted to genuinely discuss with intelligent people (your behavior prooves youre not one of them and you don't really bring anything to the table)' (also, there's only one 'o' in 'proves' Mr. I Just Implied I'm Intelligent, Or At Least More Intelligent Than You) Exhibit D: 'A dickless coward hiding behind a screename.'. That is all.
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker encounter the horrors of war - but while Vin fights for his country's freedom in a really fast car, Paul Walker sits and gets very philosophical about a particularly beautiful patch of grass.
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are driving in their really fast car when a canister of strange ooze falls off the back of a truck in front of them. They become covered in the stuff, so pull over and wipe themselves off. Whilst doing so, Paul Walker becomes amused by a turtle he has found at the side of the road. Annoyed by his stupidity, Vin Diesel grabs the turtle off Paul Walker and hurls it into the distance. Little do they know that their fate is now sealed and they will mutate into anthropomorphised giant turtles who, with the aid of a rat who knows kung-fu for some reason, become their city's newest protectors.
-
Sorry Darth Bakpao, I'm treading on your toes, but I wanted to put it out there anyway.
-
They all died after fasting furiously for 40 days straight
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker discover a portal to another world in the trunk (it pains me to not say 'boot' like we usually would in my mother tongue) of their really fast car.
-
Those finished last are the angriest
-
Like Star Wars, but with really fast cars instead of spaceships, and Vin Diesel and Paul Walker instead of everyone.
-
Fast 4 Furious?
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker become best friends with an alien who has become stranded on Earth, only to discover that their planet is just days away from annihilation at the hands of a malicious second race of aliens.
-
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker invent a new style of dancing; dancing with attitude on the hoods (again, in the good ol' UK we'd call that a 'bonnet') of their really fast cars while they are actually in motion.
-
choke on it
-
Paul Walker is a kid from the wrong side of the tracks with some mean skills on the dancefloor who has just moved into a new city. Unable to fit in at his new school, Paul discovers that, through the language of dance and with the help of a similarly free-spirited Vin Diesel, he is able to transcend social boundaries and finally gain acceptance and self fulfillment. Featuring really fast cars.

It's like the Fast and the Furious with trains
by grammaton cleric binks
It's called "Choo-choo" because big words make my brain hurt.
-
Fast and the Furious 4:oakland sideshow
-
They dropped any letters from the second half of the alphabet, so as to better appeal to their biggest demographic - people who've only managed to learn the *first* half so far.
-
doubt it has anything to do with kids being to dumb to understanding the word the. just a cool title to reboot the shitty franchise.
-
Act 'a fool!
-
Um... I *was* looking at the other side of the spectrum and furthermore I never even implied that the insults you threw out were unprovoked. Granted you'd had some beers down you, but you did leave yourself wide open with the 'all' statement and, since tough_times is pro title spamming (i.e. on my side in this talkback), as a result I couldn't resist. Argue all you want, just don't say things that are evidently not true, that's all.
-
That's insulting D. Vader. Play victim all you want, you started this. There is an implication there about participants in an activity you deem "dumb". If alcohol is impairing your judgment, then perhaps you shouldn't post while drunk. And yes when you come off like an a-hole, then you are an a-hole. I started the other childish insults after you called me a douchebag. At any rate, this little spat is seriously out of proportion to my level of interest or care. So, good day, sir.
-
You said "Holy shit, seriously? You actually replied to me? I thought you were cool/smart enough to just let it go, but apparently not. You couldn't stay away. And that's cool, whatever; it makes you easier to play." AND YET YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! And then you said "Look, the fact that you psycho-analyzed yourself when you said "But if it makes you feel a little better in that bitter wasteland of a heart you have, go ahead and insult away," Holy Crap, D.Vader you are a grade A retard! HAHAHAHA!Oh D. Vader you are too fun. Come on, insult my momma next. No, wait, how about another diatribe about my childhood. I'm being childish because thats all an internet arguement deserves. Its like winning the Special Olympics, you're still retarded. You however have taken this fight to a level with your analyzing with psychobabble and a passion thats totally out of a whack for an internet forum. I mean seriously, if you think, I'm a stupid 12-14 year old, then why in the HELL are you wasting so much time arguing with me? HAHAHAHA! You loser!
-
Wow you actually did what I told you. HAHAHA! You have no self-respect. Dance monkey, dance! You see D. Vader the reason you are such a loser is because you don't recognize that this... spat, is meaningless. You are giving it waaaaay too much thought and taking it waaaay too seriously. And no matter how silly I become YOU JUST CAN'T WALK AWAY HAHAHAHAHA! That's called pride. BTW you smell like wet ass. SO,c'mon monkey, insult me some more. HAHAHAHA!
-
Only way I'm spending the $10
-
You don't get it dumb dumb. I'm intentionally being immature with lame insults, because when you respond to them with passionate anger and meticulous psychobabble, you look like a fool. Who's the bigger fool? The one who intentionally acts like a fool, or the one that keeps arguing with the fool? But I thank you for the entertainment. At any rate. I'm moving on. You get the last word. I apologize for all the insults (seriously) but it provided for momentary amusement. To continue with this would be sad. So I wish you well, and good day.
-
At least tough times seems to know it.
-
....you're the one that clearly looks like ( and possibly is?) an idiot. Aside from the fact that tough times was so obviously yanking your chain, and you perpetually falling for it, the fact that you failed the oldest talkback rule in the book by taking the old "last word" bait when he offered it, just makes you seem like a dumb silly loser. When someone offers you the last word, for obvious logical reasons you never EVER take it; because that's basically means that they have it, and with it, it collapses they primary argument about you;- that you can't control you impulses and knee jerk reaction. To illustrate the point: watch as you deem it necessary to rebutt this point and idiotically reply to this post, rather than walk away with whatever shred of pride you have (hint: someone is making an offer........oh, and I wouldn't be replying....)
-
It'll probably spoof "Fast & Furious", "Speed Racer", "Death Race 2000", "Cannonball Run", "Driven" and others...and yes, Carmen Electra will be in it! (sigh)
-
C'mon, you've both just devolved this talkback into something awful (yeah, that's right, I'm accusing a talkback predominantly filled with spam titles of having 'devolved') - can't we all just get along and come up with hundreds of hilarious fake titles? And MrMysteryGuest - God help us all if that spoof move ever becomes a reality...
-
I walked away.
