FAST & FURIOUS full trailer does some wonderfully implausible driving!

Published at:  Jan 14, 2009 3:01:23 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm not sure why I like this series so much. I swear, I'm not a gearhead. I do own a 1953 Chevy BelAir with all of its original parts... and I do plan on doing a full on restoration of that beauty at some point after I get my house built, but there's a part of me that's wanting to make that beast electric and convert it into a crazed retro-future car... not something that'll blow anything away at a traffic light change, just something that makes me smile as I drive.

That said, I have a crazy affection for the first THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS... the second film was one of the funniest unintentional gay films that I've ever seen... and the third was ridiculously funny, what with all that drifting and that funny Hulk car. But this film seems to promise to bring us back with the original cast - and some crazed south of the border revved up action. It is true that the cars do not transform into robots... but one of the cars is driven by THE IRON GIANT, so that's something cool... right?

Paul Walker continues to remind me that he's the Blonde Keanu and Michelle Rodriguez seems to continue to put forth attitude like asphalt. Here's the new trailer - see if it strikes you as fun... or as something you're really really tired of. Me, I can't wait.

Click Here for FAST & FURIOUS action with a flipping tanker!

    I really dug the first, stayed away from the rest of them. This one however has my attention, Vin Diesel was the real star of Fast and the Furious. And it was in that movie that I first saw Michelle Rodriguez as sexy.

    As dumb as the F&F movies are, they are fun. I just caught the third one and, hell, if I wasn't entertained by it too, despite the black hole of a lead in the film. I consider myself somewhat film snobbish and I'm definitely not a car guy, but somehow these flicks work for me. I'm looking forward to this one.

    What's so special about Michelle Rodriguez?

    by mr. profit

    Seriously, she owes the actress who played "Vasquez" in "Aliens" her whole damn career. Because in every movie Michelle plays her shit like the lesbian Marine from "Aliens". She has never done anything that made her stretch her acting chops. Even on LOST she did the same shit. Speaking of her on LOST, I love how the island must've fixed her teeth. Pre-plane crash scenes of season one her teeth were crooked. And in season 2 they were all nice and white. This movie looks like fun though. I'll see it. I liked 1 and 3. Best part of part 2 was the Universal logo turning into a rim while "Like A Pimp" played. The rest of the film sucked.

And, Tokyo Drift was pretty fun, even if I do hide it behind my Planet of the Apes collection.

    It's only appropriate- so many people watch both of these things for "irony's" sake that eventually the suits had to think that combining them would be like some kind of perfect storm.

    even the second one which was almost exactly like the Need 4 Speed video game series (mostly Underground 2) and ESPECIALLY the third one which pretty much charmed me from the first frame and is one of few movies I don't mind watching over and over...
    Actually I thought the first one was the weakest, being such a blatant ripoff of Point Break - but I even liked that one. This new one seems to be a return to the first (Point Break) story so I'm actually not expecting much - but I'll definitely be watching!

    Motoko... spoilers

    She dies pretty early on in Fast and Furious, but she survives Avatar (at least, she survives the treatment). So you'll get your wish in one movie, at least. In fact she dies in pretty much everything she's ever been in.

    Nails on a chalkboard...

    ...is how I would describe every film since the first. I did like the first and hope this captures some of the magic of the first one but after the last two sequel abortions, it's tough to not be cynical.

    movie stunts used to be cool because they were actually done by people and not by computers

    Profit

    by half vader

    She has a career because she was great in her first film, that little indie thing where she's a boxer. Girlfight. She was great in that, and nothing else since (although I haven't seen Lost).

    But hey, she'll be fucking our eyeballs in Avatar, so...

    Aren't you conveniently forgetting that the whole style of the filmmaking would completely change in the old days because every shot was contrived not to show the actor's face? (obviously, because it wasn't the actor, it was a stuntie). Sure, it was happening for 'real', but it wasn't happening to the CHARACTER/lead actor, and the visual vocabulary would suddenly change so it still took you out of the movie just as much. I'm not straight out disagreeing with you, just playing Devil's advocate. And if you prefer the old way, no probs that's fine with me. But you get my point don't you?

    All I remember of the 'fantastic' first one is

    by half vader

    ... that they "crossed the line" with the camera in the action bit. In a drag race!!! Nice one, imbeciles! Man, I hope I didn't pay to see it at the movies.

    And Michelle Rodriguez went to jail or something for drunk driving didn't she? Ha ha, I hope they work that one into the movie!

    As for her looking good in this one, maybe the makeup girls finally got fed up and attacked her...
