Several Images From FAST AND FURIOUS Drift Onto The Internets!!
Merrick here...
USA Today has posted three pictures from FAST AND FURIOUS, the fourth installment in the franchise. Like TOKYO DRIFT, this one's directed by by Justin Lin & written by Chris Morgan (who scripted WANTED & has been brought in to rework the GEARS OF WAR movie screenplay).
Vin and Paul are together again, trying to bag the killer of one of the girls from the first film.
Follow the tanker humper...
FAST AND FURIOUS is also, by the way, the title of a 1939 Busby Berkeley comedy.

The best part of this movie.
-
yaaay!
-
Boooooo!
-
This series is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine - much like Gilmore Girls, pork pies, and evil slutty women - so I'm looking forward to this new slice of furiousism quite a bit. Justin Lin did a pretty solid job on the third one, I reckon, and my only real disappointment with this new one is we don't appear to be getting Lucas Black back again. That is a shame.

The extra "a" in that sentence made me read-a the whole-a story in an Italian accent.

to get out of the office. I don´t really need to see that movie.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
its lost glory!
-
damn you paul walker
-
They're never going to pull this manouver off successfully
-
I won't be back for the xXx and fast and the furious sequels! I'm onto bigger and better things! *flash forward 5 years* oh erm, what's that? Another fast the furious sequel? God yes please i need this!
-
Yay! Vin Diesel and Paul Walker? In the same film?? I smell Oscar!!
-
Superstars by now. Other than that crappy Jessica Alba movie that was unwatchable even with Alba in a bikini for most of the movie, what has Walker done since the FAF movies? Also, I guess Vin's expectations of being this generation's Arnold Schwartenegger have finally been set straight.
-
I really like the 1st and 3rd films. For some reason I only watched the 2nd one once. I didnt dislike it. Had fun but not as much fun as the 1st and 3rd. Thanks to whoever for breathing fresh air in the franchise by having drifting in it, not to mention Lucas Black solid direction by Justin Lin and of course Sonny Chiba!
-
I'm worried about you, mate. I know you won't answer me, but I am reaching out to you as a compassionate human being to express my concern for your mental well-being. Sure, I can sort of respect your commitment to damning Michael Bay via the innernet tubes, but I am worried that you have become so compelled to post the same message in every AICN talkback that you have damaged your psyche in some way. Please remember that your psyche is a precious thing - you only get one, so don't throw it away with this bizarre OCD-like obsession you have nurtured.<p>I want the best for you, MCMLXXVI. I want you to be well. And let's face it, if there is such a thing as damnation, we can be pretty sure Michael Bay will receive it shortly after the cocaine-induced myocardial infarction he will one day suffer in the silk-sheeted bed of a hooker half his age. So why don't you let nature take its course and put this damning business to rest?<p>All the best.<p>Your friend,<p>Frank.

Vin and Paul's careers have obviously hit rock bottom
by judge dredds fresh undies
theyve both come back for the FOURTH?! fast and the furious movie.
-
They simply removed the article and are now adjectives instead of nouns? Interesting... That's not going to confuse ANYONE.
-
Get the fuck over it. it's an AICN delight to have him.
-
I would also love to think that this is a straight-to-DVD movie, but I have a feeling the last one did well enough that it'll get a theatrical release. What crap...
-
Damn you Steven Spielberg
-
Damn you Entertainment Weekly
-
I don't hate MCMLXXVI. I am worried about him. I picture the guy huddled red-eyed over a PC in his bedroom, rocking back and forth, his skin yellowing from the lack of sunlight as he stays firmly in place awaiting the newest articles on which he can post his mantra.<p>That is not healthy, Bender. That is not healthy at all. I care about the guy and would like to see him set down his Bay baggage and get on with a well-adjusted life.
-
Damn you bedtime
-
It's a perfectly fine and sensible title...well to be honest what is sensible about this whole franchise? To be fair, the first one is a guilty pleasure of mine. And to answer why Vin and Walker are NOT superstars by now; simply because the moviegoing public simply decided they weren't superstars and never went to see A Man Apart and Eight Below...
-
You got any other phrases you want to spit out... I'm tired of hearing the same damn thing over and over like "Damn You Micheal Bay!"
-
...and hence they're doing another Furious film because it was probably the only time the public actually gave a damn about 'em.
-
I see that in most of the regulars here, i don't want to name names. <p> In the case of MC ... well.... i see someone with a big fat smile on their dial and for some reason, i always laugh when i see his latest post. i don't know why. they just keep getting funnier. (the day will come he'll say something different) <p> seriously, the guy has tapped into a form of marketing.
-
F this lame ass franchise
-
Is fine. God bless his consistency. I would rather get rid of "internets". That stopped being funny long ago.
-
for disbanding Damn Yankees
-
Hey, Merrick; where's my X-Files 2: I Want To Believe" panel review?
-
They had some actual stunts. It wasn't as if they were hitting the NOS injectors every 10 minutes. And the fact in F&F 1, the speedometers really didn't go above 120 in a line wasn't impressive. I pro-streeted a camaro that would do 165 before mods. Anyn stock WRX can do better than 120.
-
I had tears in my eyes from your passionate plea to MCM. The CoC will pray for him.<p>FREE XIPHOS!
-
But it's not all current events, Walker says. "Who doesn't like fast cars and hot women?" Oh good. for a second there I was worried.
-
Puppet Master is the best thing Full Moon ever made. Sure "Curse of", "Retro", and " vs Demonic Toys" are awful, but 1-5 are all great.
-
I'm pretty sure he/she is a ghost-handle for another Talkbacker.
-
He can go into any comic book convention and say: "I post on AICN and type 'Damn you Michael Bay!'...Autograph line forms to the right" He gets to set on panels and sign screenshots of his postings while screaming his catchphrase over and over again. Can any of you do that??
-
i second the don't fuck with puppet master movement. love those sick little fuckers.
-
On that Deep Blue Sea sequel? I care about that more. Its sad to think it, but I feel that Death Race will own this movie.....
-
Oh yea, next season in hell.
-
He's the one thing in life you can always depend on. Don't ever die, MCMLXXVI.
-
...but how long's the movie?
-
That movie surprised the hell out of me, i never liked the series but that movie changed my mind, ill give this a chance.
-
Once Had Yummy Labia!!!!
-
You keep dumping money in even when you know your going to lose yet keep repeating yourself.
-
Does this mean we're talking about Michael Bay now?
-
im pretty sure thats how this movie's title will translate into the German cinema.
-
MCMXXVI never ceases to garner a chuckle out of me.
-
the toxic wind blows<p> as the passenger train stops<p> m night nukes the fridge.
-
Jurassic Park iv??????
-
They will race an electric "Tesla" car vs solar powered "Sunraycer." This time, it's not about all out speed, it's about distance before recharge.
-
Because this movie will be For The Fast And The Furious.
-
Got a red carpet shout out from Michael Bay himself at the premiere of Transformers. Well, not personally, but Bay did comment on online statements like "Damn you, and you raped my childhood", so MCMLXXVI, your work does not go unnoticed.
-
That's a way better title.

Walker "Fast" and Diesel "Furious"--maybe these are codenames no
by MCVamp
This could be the new Tango and Cash, people! Can't wait for the next one, maybe they'll whip out the rare sub-sub-titile: "Fast and Furious II: The Fast & The Furious V: Faster & Furiouser"
-
Swallowing his pride. Or Paul Walker with his tail between his legs. That would've been fitting.
-
This time it's TETONIC!
-
... was made in the 80s and 90s, because it means the four movies were saved from being called Lethal Weapon, followwed by Lethal Weapon: Stopping Power, then Only The Lethalest Weapon Survives, and finally 4: The Gang's All Here. I absolutely despise all these modern sequel titles.
-
for Spike TV to run all four back-to-back. This would be their speed.
-
Vin's career is officially over, right? hmmm.. I have mixed feelings now. I equate it to the following statement: </br> </br> If a tree falls in the forest, and noone is around to see it, does anyone give a shit?
-
Truly can act the gamut of emotions all the way from A to C. He has a few characters XXX, F&F and Riddick that don't require any actual acting. He's become a movie prop. Paul Walker is a poster-boy for an acute need for acting classes.
-
Michael Bay shall be damned damnit!
-
MCMLXXVI has been damning Mike Bay for a long time. Its just people like you are now starting to notice it. Let him damn in peace, will yah?
-
Ahhh, who can forgot Darkman 2 & 3. Or The Skulls 2 and 3. Still can't beat the grandaddy, The Howling, that made it all the way up to 6!! Oh Hollywood, your money grabbing ways are inspirational.
-
I mean, c'mon people... Why does Hollywood consistently churn out this crap? How about something ORIGINAL?
-
"Or I'd stuff a anus"
-
Is just a mindless moron with nothing intelligent to say, and the people who "admire" him? I don;t even know what to say about them. I don;t love MB by any stretch of th imagination so I am in no way defending him, but good god, there is nothing funny or amusing or admirable about seeing "Damn you Michael Bay" in every single god damn talkback.
-
Hollywood lost it's imagination and originality a lonnnnnnng time ago, and it doesn't look like they will ever get it back. For the few quality films we get, we get a dozen lumps of crap. But I still hold out a small grain of hope that someday someone will wake up and see the problem.
-
but these movies are HORRIBLE! I tried watching a couple of them last week, just to see if I would enjoy them more, but man if they don't suck. I would rather get a proctology exam that watch two minutes of these crappy movies.

"Paul Walker is a poster-boy for an acute need for acting classe
by rotgut1
And that's not an opinion. That's a fact. The guy couldn't act if someone had a gun to his head.
-
These movies are geared for people with the mentality of a prepubescent boy. Perhaps they could ramp up the writing a little for us adults. I watched the first one, and thought, "ok, stupid, but whatever.". Then the second, "Fuck this movie sucked". Then the third, "Somebody please shoot me in the head.". Granted I didn't pay to see them...God bless the internet.
-
Which was an awesome flick. He wasn't wooden in the role either, actually showed signs of life.
-
I think those "defending" MCM, are doing so in a, the dude's harmless kind of way. That his little Bay rant has bothered some may say more about those he has bothered, than MCM himself.
-
I suppose he his harmless, kinda like the village idiot that everyone just kinda laughs at. So damn on MCM.
-
was a great "pulpy" cop/crime drama. Maybe Walker was better than usual is because he wasn't cast as the standard pretty boy generic role.
-
...I could have sworn I saw him ad-lib a cough, but no...it was an actual cough.
-
No, he didn't at all. All he did was yell and try to look anguished. From the first fucking second he was onscreen, I was immediately pulled out of the movie. The guy is the worst actor in Hollywood, and has the presence and acting ability of a rotted corpse. And I'm serious, he hasn't even convinced me he'a alive yet.
-
...get a new director and producer and make a new Chronicles of Riddick installment.
-
because of Lucas Black and the Tokyo setting. But I still say 2 Fast 2 Furious doesn't get enough credit for its sheer ridiculousness. I mean, right at the beginning you see the Universal logo get covered in chrome and bounce up and down on hydraulics! Then there's the girl in the pink car, Ludacris giving them "surprises" like making them jump a bridge and the video game style "go do this, now go do this" structure to the story. I don't know, I am on the damning Michael Bay side, so I understand hating moronic movies, but for some reason 2 Fast 2 Furious's complete commitment to stupidity is entertaining to me.
-
are so fucking unbelievable, like the bridge jump, it's just funny as hell... and it is entertaining. the dialog is retarded, especially that guy on Vin's team in the first movie sounds like he's yelling at everything when he speaks, or ja rule yelling monica. just funny shit
-
... they'd be pumping cash into more of those films. <p> oh well. Vin Deisels gotta eat
-
A buddy of mine owns a game store in sanat monica, told me that last year, one of Vin's people came in and bought up all the old D&D DARK SUN game books. He said it was for research Vin was doing for a DARK SUN movie he is working on. I wonder if this is still in the works?
-
GET HYPHY THIS SUMMER
-
Does anybody know if they're claiming to be wrapping up this series with this installment? I think it's great they got the whole original cast back together. Personally, I hope there's one more after this then they pack it in.<br><br>Or do a franchise smash-up called The Fast and The Furious Versus The Transporter. Hell, I'd write that.
-
...4 words? Seriously. What if its some form of mutant Tourette's syndrome and he can only say the phrase "Damn you, Michael Bay" in different inflections. For example, MCMLXXVI goes to Publix and wants a Boar's Head Ultimate sandwich. The lady behind the deli counter asks, "What kind of cheese?". And MCMLXXVI goes, "Damn you Michael Bay?" and the lady goes, "Oh, we're out of provolone. How 'bout Swiss?" And MCMLXXVI goes, "Damn you, Michael Bay." and she proceeds to layer on the Swiss. See? Like the word "Dude" which is chameleon-like in its ability to convey numerous emotions just by different vocal inflections, maybe that phrase is as well? Perhaps MCMLXXVI is on a level we cannot even begin to perceive, much less understand.

"And to answer why Vin and Walker are NOT superstars by now; sim
by togmeister
Eight Below was a cute movie and did just fine at the box office, albeit probably more on the back of the pooches. I actually WANT Vin to have a hit so he and David Twohy can regian enough clout to complete the Riddick trilogy. Seriously. Pitch Black was fantastic, and Chronicles, while flawed, did at least have that awesome escape sequence on the prison world, where Vin and his gang have to outrun the dawn or they're literally toast. I'd rather have Riddick 3 to look forward to than F&F 4,5,6 etc...
-
because of Lucas Black and the Tokyo setting. 2 Fast, 2 Furious is completely forgettable. And Point Break, err, The Fast and The Furious is the most exciting because how well we were introduced to that culture. Vin and Walker are good together, the story, though predictable, still keeps you engaged, and it's well paced. Tokyo Drift sucked because of the awkward lead actor, the badly, really badly handled fish out of water storyline. Sung Kang has a lot of charm and charisma, but he couldn't save those scenes because the dialogue sucked and he had to act against Lucas Black. Oh and, Eva Mendez > Jordanna Brewster > Nathalie (Razor Blade commercials) Kelley
-
of John Singleton's career, who started like a house on fire with Boyz N The Hood? From the youngest director nominated for an Oscar to the director of a sequel to some Rob Cohen schlock, and onward to the A-Team? I don't mean he had to become the next issue-orientated director, but his plate has filled up with a fair amount of junk food.

bag the killer of a one of the girls from the first film
by Cletus Van Damme
"DAMMIT! I can't belive they killed her!" <p> "Yeah, we should go find the killer, maybe pin a beatin' to him." <p> "Hell yeah!" <p> --crickets sound around them--<p> "Hey, uh...you hungry?"<p> "I could eat I suppose." <p> "Good, let's go grab some beers and kick back a while." <p> "Like 5+ years or so?" <p> "Yeah...sounds about right."<p>
-
Tokyo drifts action was far more intruiging than the other two. It wasn't just linear speed, the drift stunts were very cool. Now about the polt holes and the totally implausible scenarios...
-
...but is it true that Michelle Rodriguez will NOT use a stunt drunk driver?
-
Why the hell not? Seen the trailer for Disaster Movie? They should show shit like that at Gitmo. That's real fucking torture. Divert those funds into more F+F magic.
-
..oh my!
-
I love how people take movies like this personally. It isn't trying to be the next (insert classic movie everyone compares to), just dumb 'popcorn' fun.
-
Why didn't they use that title...? That's what I expected after "2 Fast"'s level of title capability... I'm pretty surprised Diesel came back to this franchise -- a sign that his career really hasn't taken off the way he probably wanted it to. I've always had mixed feelings on Ol' Vin. I enjoyed the first Fast & Furious purely on its adrenaline level. The second or third don't interest me without him in them. I actually like Pitch Black AND Chronicles of Riddick, so sue me. But the rest of his output...I have no interest in...
-
In this outing, Vin Diesel signed on to stop collecting unemployment. Paul Walker was homeless altogeather. In this futuristic romp, they let the NOS pressure go with the latest Japanese subcompact sport hovercars.
-
I have nothing to say about the fast and furious movies...just not my thing I guess. I respect MCM because unlike all the whiny babies on here that bitch about their childhood being raped until the next thing comes out and they forget all about it, MCM is sticking to it, and God bless him for it. He means business.
-
Free Them!
-
It gets a modicum of love for giving you all a chance to flex your funny muscle. You guys know damn well you would be miserable if every film made was a gem. I couldn't care less about this thing, but I read the Talkback and try no to do spit takes.
-
I saw F&F in a Florida "Suds and cinema" theater. The movie cost me $3.50 to see. I got to sit at a table, and was served lowenbrau draught with one of those really poofy pretzels and mustard. I expected silly summer fun, and actually enjoyed it in that setting. I highly recommend seeing some of the questionable movies in this fashion.
-
"FaFu"
-
HMMMM.... when I think hot snatch of 1988...Heather Thomas, Heather Locklear...whadda sandwich...
-
is stuck making these shitstains. I was looking forward to following his career after his debut feature. I suppose that's also how I used to feel about John Singleton. Damn you shitty movie franchise!
-
2 fast 2 furious?? with han from tokoyo drift making an appearance... one of my buddies was telling me this but I haven't heard this..
-
using the guy to slide around on the road? or maybe the tanker and car should stop, then the guy could walk over and get in the other car. they make it harder than it has to be.
-
5 = Fast. Furious.<br> 6 = Fastfurious<br> 7 = Fastious.<br> 8 = Fis.<br> 9 = .
-
When it comes to guilty pleasures, the original Fast and the Furious is way up there for me.
-
10 = Level X: The Fast and the Furious Ten - The Kingdom of the Crystal Carburetor
-
Just take Speed Racer and add a 3 minute scene at the end with Diesel waking up and swearing never to eat shrooms again.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing whatshisface in this one. The guy from Friday Night Lights.
-
It's just not in this movie.
-
Awful. Just Awful.
-
Damn You MCMLXXVI
-
or better yet, what about Pacifier 2? I was so waiting for that. It should be about a killer after one of the girls from the first movie.
-
Why is dropping of the "the" article considered a different title....unless they are going for Fast and Furious a la "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" or "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid" which case I guess that Paul Walker is Fast and Vin Diesel is Furious? Anyone?
-
Lionsgate decided to release JOHN RAMBO as simply...RAMBO...(hmmm, where have we heard that before??) and no one gave a shit, so Universal probably figures the same about this film's target audience...(SIGH...)
-
What will they call the inevitable REBOOT that will happen in, oh, ten years time...perhaps five?? FAST AND FUCK YOU WE HAVE YOUR MONEY FIVE ?? (In fact that's about the only thing "memorable" about "Incredible" Hulk -- Marvel's balls to completely shaft Ang Lee's version only five years later)
-
I felt like they could have kept the same origin that was established in Hulk. That was a good origin movie...and this movie coulda just gone off of that one. It ended with Banner hiding in the jungle anyway. Makes sense he woulda eventually got down to Brazil. Sure the direction style would be radically different but that has been done before in other film series. I think that they coulda just omitted that origin sequence at the beginning which was like the TV series version and just played this one off as a sequel and it woulda worked <P> As is one little sequence in the opening credits jacked that up and jacked up Ang Lee's whole movie as invalid...I cry foul! <P> Otherwise I dug Incredible Hulk as the logical continuation of the story and Hulk ...well...smashing.
-
Or did Ang Lee's hulk seem stronger, and angrier than the new hulk?
-
I cared. John Rambo sounds way cooler than just "Rambo".
-
You're kidding, right?
-
I can't be anything else except facetious. I am actually sick of the whole argument. I am especially sick of idiots that continually derail a talk back by somehow injecting a totally unrelated reference to the hulk controversy. "IJAM" "It's just a movie"
-
Uhm, okay. I don't really understand what you're saying. What argument? What controversy? I think I missed something. Anyway, I thought you made a joke. The new Hulk actually hit someone with his fist and threw a rock at God, so I think he's much angrier. Are we arguing? I'm sorry?
-
Back to our regularly scheduled thread.
-
Shit.

I like the Hulk for all the reasons Dogmatic didn't.
by Cotton McKnight
It had a better origin story, was more like the tv show, and best of all, it allows us to forget the Ang Lee movie completely. If it was a continuation, then people who suffered through the Ang Lee version would have been reminded of it, and people who are new to the series would have watched it. Yes it was that bad. That movie ruined the reputation of Nick Nolte- remember when he was arrested for driving drunk and his mugshot looked like he had turned into a hobo? That's because he was filming that stupid movie at the time. The movie is cursed I tell you.
-
the Wal-Mart versions of Matthew McCaughnhey and The Rock, respectively.
-
are faster than hell. I remember being at the racetrack in the late 80's and seeing one of them lay a serious beating on practically anything that it ran against, including a big block Chevelle. All it had was the stock 3.8 liter, a modified chip and some exhaust tweaks. That thing was freaking evil.
-
The GN was about 245hp stock, it could seat 5 comfortably and still get into the low/mid 14's in the 1/4. Simple mods, external to the engine could net 12 second 1/4 miles, without NOS. The GNX, a $30K big brother was 300hp, and did 13's stock, and could be tweaked for 11's. Great car in it's day, and it was rev-limited so it didn't totally roast the vette of the day.
-
The guy was awesome in "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith". Just goes to show what results you can get in a capable director like George Lucas....
-
That's right, though Nick Nolte deserved it for playing such an awful character.
