Luke: We call Dom's approach " the Max Power way." OK, let's look at that car chase for a second, because dragging that safe like a wrecking ball through the streets was a watershed moment for the series.
I do like how this one carries on the throughline of the series: Dom will always try to solve his problems in the most dangerous, silliest way, and Brian will always be ALL IN. Also, Vin working hard to sell rebound romance with a lady half his size. Otherwise, this movie's mostly notable to me for the car chase in which our heroes probably manslaughtered dozens of innocent people. It does wedge in a (brief) moment for every character.
Fast and furious movies in order movie#
He belongs in almost every other movie there is, just not here.į5 is when the series starts its cartoon-y ensemble action phase while trying to hang onto some emotional roots. Kelsey: Still not convinced The Rock belongs in this series. "Fast Five": WHAT HAPPENS IN BRAZIL, STAYS IN BRAZIL So the moral is realism in these movies is bad. I agree this is the film that's the closest to a sequel to the first, but the series works so much better when it's ridiculous and over the top (see films 5 through 8).Īlso, fun fact, on the way back from the cinema when I first saw this movie, my friend got caught speeding. I guess that's something? You can insert your own "stuck in second gear" puns here. On the downside, Letty's personality reboot as angelically supportive about-to-be-dead girlfriend is so cheap, and the racing feels more like CG than something with real risks. Dom has Official Character Development (he's now willing to go back to prison) and then everyone throws out their entire lives to go jailbreak him, grinning, which is so silly it's perfect. Can Dom keep his "family" happy on the run? (No.) Is Brian still a lonely adrenaline junkie? (Yes.) They physically fight each other, which is classic fanservice. Kelsey: I like this one because it actually tries to show consequences from the first movie. But the hook is about how whatshisface should be loyal to Han while Han isn't loyal to the guy he works for? It doesn't even make sense. Kelsey: I like the idea of showing street racing traditions in different countries. While it's still all very earnest, there are no monologues about the importance of family or living your life a quarter-mile at a time (the bit at the end doesn't count).
None of the original cast has a major role. Luke: This is the FATF movie that is so bad they needed to do serious timeline gymnastics to even fit it into the series properly. Kelsey: I could look it up, but why bother? I'd just forget again. "Tokyo Drift": WHAT IS EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTER'S NAME So does Ludacris still exist in the Fast and the Furious universe? Is Tej his doppleganger? Does the recording artist have a secret life as a street racer? Do other musicians live their lives a quarter mile at a time? These are all questions more interesting than the actual plot of " 2 Fast 2 Furious." This is worth noting because a Ludacris song is played at a party in this movie. Though, it also marked the first appearance of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as Tej Parker. Luke: This was the sequel that didn't know what it wanted to be. Actress Devon Aoki has a funnier role in " D.E.B.S." (So does Jordana Brewster.) He's got a loser-bro sidekick, and there are cars. We learn more about the past that made Brian the desperate screw-up he is in FATF. "2 Fast 2 Furious": HANGING OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HIS BEST FRIEND'S RIDE Let's run through the rest of them before we rank them. It also sets up the family thing and the folie-à-deux bond between Brian and Dom - the sequels are all cashing from that bank but they're too fast-paced to add much to it. It's fun and absurd (the robberies!), but serious enough to have soul. My top pick is the original, "The Fast and the Furious," aka BAD DECISION THEATER.
