i was planning to watch this series again before the release of the new one. visiting a friend at the weekend and she really wanted to put this on. who am i to disagree? i can probably think of a way to make it viable to watch the series in the order 6, 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 7 as the makers of this series clearly have no qualms in making shit up as they go along. it's the only way to explain how two characters return from the dead. han clearly dies at the end of 3 and then reappears in sequels that then turn out to be prequels to that movie. these guys have balls. fast & furious (i think) had a read more

Chronicling the craziest thing that happens in each of these movies as I watch them for the first time The Fast and the Furious - Letty drives a car under a semi truck, Vin Diesel survives a triple rollover crash with a bump on his head to show for it 2 Fast 2 Furious - Brian drives a car onto a moving boat at 120mph, the writers unironically make Paul Walker say "Forget about it cuh" The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - Han survives that Fast & Furious - Vin Diesel drives under a rolling exploding gas tanker Fast Five - Vin Diesel uses Car-Fu and a bank vault as a weapon to kill the... read more
