In the eighth installment of the Fast and the Furious series, Dominic Toretto's crew are rocked to their core when they must face their most dangerous adversary yet. Fast & Furious 6 (alternatively known as Furious 6 or Fast Six) is a 2013 American action film directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is the sixth. The Fast and the Furious (also known as Fast & Furious) is an American franchise based on a series of action films that is largely concerned with illegal street.
And while the death of series star Paul Walker does put a damper on some of the excitement, this is still a great time to celebrate one of Hollywood’s most reliable and inventive franchises. In 1. 5 years, Fast & Furious has evolved from a simple B- movie about a couple of street racers into an international crime epic spanning multiple continents and more than a dozen characters. Fast fans (or “Fastards”) tend to differ on the relative merits of each film; some prefer the earlier, more grounded entries; others like the outrageous stunts and action of the later films. The one thing they all agree on is the fact that this series is terrific. To settle some of the ongoing debates, and to honor this mighty saga, I’ve put together this list. There are sure to be many like it on the web in the next week.

Writer: Chris Morgan. Characters Introduced: Cornpone American teenager Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), laconic drifter (both literally and figuratively) Han Seoul- Oh (Sung Kang).
Villain: Takashi, a. Drift King a. k. a. The guy has five o’clock shadow at 1. AM! He has chest hair on his neck!
He would look old on Beverly Hills 9. Craziest Moment: After an entire movie that seems completely disconnected from the previous two Fast & Furiouses, the story concludes with one final race, where Sean is told a new challenger wants to test his skills.
He pulls up to the starting line to find.. Dominic Toretto waiting for him. Cue audible gasps: Best Setpiece: Though Lin would vastly improve over the next three films, his skills as an action director were still a work- in- progress on Tokyo Drift.
His best work in his Fast debut is the opening sequence, where Sean Boswell establishes his reckless racing bonafides while competing with a school jock for the attention of an attractive girl. The whole sequence was done practically at a real construction site, and the shots of Sean’s car plowing through an unfinished house and then cartwheeling into the desert are real standouts.
Why It’s #8: This is not going to be a popular pick among some hardcore Fast fans, who think Tokyo Drift is the most underrated film in the entire franchise. It’s undeniably important to the evolution of the series — it introduced Lin and Morgan, who would guide the property to glory, and was the first Fast to include a globe- hopping component and a truly international cast — but in my opinion, it’s more notable than entertaining. The stunts are relatively subdued, the cast is small and forgettable (with the exception of the terrific Sung Kang, the only Tokyo Drifter who became a series regular), and the drifting gimmick doesn’t add much to the mix. More importantly, the soaring majesty of Fast & Furious lies in the yin and yang of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.
Therefore any Fast movie without them is automatically inferior to the rest. Tokyo Drift may have set the template for where Fast & Furious would go, but it’s the prototype, not the pinnacle. Fast 2 Furious. Year: 2. Director: John Singleton. Writers: Michael Brandt, Derek Haas, Gary Scott Thompson. Characters Introduced: Perpetually hungry ex- con Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), gambling- addicted garage owner and tech genius Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges), undercover U. S. Customs agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes).
Villain: Carter Verone (Cole Hauser), a merciless drug lord who recruits street racers to serve as wheelmen for his organization. Silliest Moment: Look, I don’t have a ton of experience in the world of international drug smuggling, but it seems to me that when you’re shipping millions of dollars in illicit substances across international borders what you want to do is attract as little attention as possible. Carter Verone’s plan to hire underground drag racers to mule his product — in their heavily modified and eye- catchingly bright green and purple cars— is maybe not the best way to do that. Craziest Moment: In fairness to the sadistic cartel leader, the cops’ plans are just as dumb. At the end of The Fast and the Furious, undercover cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) let one of the most wanted men in the country go, then fled the scene of the crime.
When the FBI finds him in Miami, they don’t arrest him; they put him back to work! How is that possible?
That’s like the Durst Organization deciding to rehire Robert Durst the day after the series finale of The Jinx. Best Setpiece: Silly as Verone’s scheme might be, it does lead to 2 Fast’s best scene, where Brian and his old buddy Roman Pearce audition to join the gangster’s organization by racing a bunch of other drivers to an impound lot where Verone’s Ferrari has been impounded. Whatever team retrieves an important package from the car’s glove box wins the lucrative employment contract, leading to a cutthroat chase across a busy Florida freeway. The show- stopping stunt involves a car that gets trapped between — and then crushed beneath — two 1. Fast & Furious, where the big show- stopping stunt involved a car sliding under the bed of a semi at high speed. Why It’s #7: See above. Fast does at least feature Walker — who might be the first cop in cinema history to spend an entire movie in board shorts — but Tyrese Gibson is not a great alternative to Diesel (hah, gas jokes).
In later installments, Tyrese would grow into the franchise’s delightful comic relief, but when he’s introduced in 2 Fast, Roman Pearce is mostly a tough guy clich. Fast looks good — the opening race is a candy- colored neon delight, and there’s a genuinely lovely scene between Brian and Roman set on a Miami pier at sunset — but it also saddles the franchise with the first of several generic drug- dealer bad guys, and the tension between the two heroes feels desperately manufactured in comparison with the effortless friction between Diesel and Walker. It’s not the least bit surprising that this movie ended the original cast’s story for six years.
After this mediocrity, they’re lucky the franchise continued at all. The Fate of the Furious. Year: 2. 01. 7Director: F. 1080P Hd Video Download Sing (2016) there.
Gray Gray. Writers: Chris Morgan. Characters Introduced: Evil hacker Cipher (Charlize Theron), Mr.
Nobody’s sidekick Little Nobody (Scott Eastwood), Shaw brothers mommy Magdalene (Helen Mirren. Villain: Cipher, who blackmails Dom into helping her assemble various pieces of technology in order to rule and/or destroy the world.
But something about the way Dom’s team destroys this nuclear submarine strikes me as slightly outlandish. I’m not sure if it’s the part where The Rock alters the course of a torpedo with his bare hands, or the part where Vin Diesel uses its own heatseeking missile against it with an impossible ice jump. Let me watch it 8. Best Setpiece: By episode eight, Fast & Furious had mostly left behind its street- racing origins (not to mention its grip on reality). The closest it came to old school Fast fun was its cold open, where Dom heads to Havana and helps out his cousin the only way he knows how: Winning an unwinnable street race. Rigging his old junker with NOS, the whole car is on fire by the time it reaches the finish line, where Dom bails out just before the brakes fail and it leaps into the ocean.
It turns the series’ greatest strength (its meticulous, borderline insane obsession with its own continuity) into its biggest weakness. The stunts and the physics never made sense, but the characters and their relationships always did. Not anymore. Dom turns his back on his family, then decides to trust Deckard, the guy who killed Han and made his life a living hell just one movie ago. Fast & Furious 6. Year: 2. 01. 3Director: Justin Lin.
