Fast 6 discussion (spoilers)

I don't understand how there can even be a spoiler when the movie has no story anyway

I'm aware that Tokyo Drift happens after the first six, I was mostly just hoping through the Statham intro that they'd give us the old "look, another camera angle, from the other side you see Han escaping down a manhole!"

Avoiding these movies is silly.

VROOM, VROOM (explode), your ex is evil, VROOM.

That's a perfectly reasonable plot.

I still believe Han faked his death in TD and that is why he is so reluctant to go back to Tokyo.

I can't believe the F&F series has a conspiracy.

I thought it was entertaining. I liked 5 better though.

The main thing that bugged me about 6 was the 75 mile long runway at the end. Also the theater I saw it at (not my choice) was over-the-top loud... I had a headache by the time it was over.

I liked the Jensen Interceptor the best personally.

I will see it, but will probably wait until it comes out on Blu-Ray................

As long as you suspend belief in the whole space time continuum it's an entertaining movie. The cars are props instead of the reason for the movie, but I enjoyed it.

The great thing is that now the audience isn't just ricers and the parking lots are safe afterwards.

I had seen the charger in the movie earlier today and hadn't realized it was the movie car. I thought it looked good. A Superbird treatment on a Charger looked pretty good plus all the shaved handles.

That would look really good if you took about about 17' of excess car and made it a modern day 2 seater and made the body so the wheel filled the wells (side to side).

Yeah the runway scene was a little over the top. The action was good enough that you didn't think about it until afterwards though.

That isn't a charger with a superbird treatment, its a charger Daytona. The only reason the superbird existed was because Richard Petty refused to drive a dodge.

I didn't even remember the Daytona existed. All you ever see is the Superbird.

Interestingly the movie didn't make me want to go drive cars fast, but it did make we want to go home and work out.

Just got back from seeing it. I liked it. The wife liked it. The wife's friend liked it. Three thumbs up. I was sad to see Han lose his chick. He is one of my favorite characters.

One hot lap was kind enough to draw a map of the runway- http://www.onehotlap.com/2013/05/fast-furious-runway.html

Fair enough. The parts of 1,2,and 3 that I have seen I disliked, and I have little interest catching up on them with my own money. If they pop up on netflix, maybe.

That said, I do love watching people try to explain the 1,2,xxx,3,xxx timeline.

Now if I want car porn, I usually like a bit of humor. I loved Hit and Run, I wish I caught it when it was in theater.

A group of my ricer friends and I went to see it yesterday. Every one of us enjoyed it.

Setting aside reality (although I had to laugh when they're in an intense race and cut to the Odometer downshifting from 3000rpm to 4000rpm), it is decent brainless fun.

If you accept the absurdity of F&F series physics... one big thing that didn't make any sense within this version of reality was, how in hell do London police in Vauxhal Astra Diesels keep up so easily with your super-tuned hyper-custom awesome-sauce-mobiles? I mean, you're on the ragged edge of control and the same three cops are following on your tail as though it is no big deal. Can't your awesome cars outrun the cops?

I have an Astra. It's totally the best car to chase down the baddies in.
