it is a hilarious title for a movie but we all know that 2 fast 2 furious is called that because they were not legally allowed to call the sequel to the fast and the furious (2001) "the fast and the furious 2" because there was a movie called the fast and the furious (1954), and when the producers of the 2001 movie licensed the older title they did not get the rights to use it in a sequel title. right. like we knew that already & we're just doing jokes for fun. also to be clear i think 2 fast 2 furious is the most underrated movie in the franchise. everybody wants to stick up for lucas black's accent in tokyo drift for some reason but where are the people showing up for devon aoki's bedazzled pink chaps??? lesbophobia is so real
#fastchise#okay sorry just had to get that off my chest#also nobody yell at me i know the reason everybody likes tokyo drift is a) the drifting and b) han. okay those are good reasons i get it#but tokyo drift totally fucked the series timeline. which is sort of not its fault they didn't know they were entering the Franchise Era#fast & furious is such an interesting series to me because the fourth movie completely resets the tone & it has a horrible title#[fast & furious (2009) which is obviously confusing to everyone]#it has michelle rodriguez in carolina elms so i love it but it's horrible. i'm not saying the first three were like. art house cinema#but from 4 on it's very much a modern Action Movie Franchise in terms of pacing & the kinds of villains they choose & the cast size#really sharp dividing line. i was kind of hoping that for the last movie they'd scale it down & sort of reground it in regional racing?#but this will surely not happen. alas. i had a secret hope that they'd get dom dragracing in west virginia making jokes about running shine#you know. original nascar shit. i think it would've killed plus west virginia could use whatever tourism & film money it can get#i loved the scene of them racing in havana. best thing to happen in the last four fucking movies NOT close#success: i am being normal about fast & furious. again
