The fast and the furious 4 Options

[95st-celica]

just thought id post this up...i watched the first one last night.....havent seen it in a while...and i cant believe it came out 7 years ago? holy $hit time flys...so supposidly the 4th one is bringing back vin diesel and paul walker which is bangin...i think the first one was the best one but hopefully the 4th picks up right after the first one left off...its supposed to be based in and around mexico....if you have the movie and watch through the credits the very last scene is vin diesel driving a chevelle in the middle of baja, mexico....so supposidly walker is trying to track him down and what not....i dunno when its supposed to come out...some say spring-summer of 08 and some say summer of 09...who knows but im def. lookin forward to it...alot of the characters of the first one will be back too like Mia and a few others

[_mikeE]

Lol that works too, but I thought they'd probably do a flashback of how Vin Diesal met that Han guy because in the end of tokyo drift, it takls about it, and somehow it all ties up with Vin meeting up with Paul Walker again somewhere.
Meh, they were all cool, the first f&f was great but i enjoyed the girls and the cars the most in tokyo drift

x2 though the leading lady isn't that great looking... or maybe just me.

[96bluevert]

The first was the best out of the 3 so far, but I like the cars in Tokyo Drift way more than the other two, not as much rice... Too bad they didn't keep the storyline consistent throughout all three, would have been more entertaining b/c you would have already had the background of the characters.

btw-has anyone actually heard much else about the 4th one other than it's comming out sometime this year or next..?

[speedfeen]

it was one of those first movies where i refused to burn it i had to have the original copies. I saw all three in theaters and after the 3rd one i took my 626 on the back roads and went "drifitng" lmao....it was hilarious as it was awesome, i have to say i loved the last one cause there was so many of my fave cars in there...


OH
did any of you argue with anyone about what the car han was driving after his first car got mangled? i knew right off the bat it was an rx7 and i argued with so many freakin ppl!!!!!!!!


hope it comes out soon!



FF4 takes place five years after the events of FF1.

Dom is hiding out in the Dominican Republic after having been let go by Brian at the end of FF1. It’s here that he meets Han.

Meanwhile, Brian is in prison in Arizona. But wait, there’s a twist — Brian is undercover for the feds, and after completing his assignment, he’s back out on the streets.

So what’s happened to Letty, Dom’s girlfriend? She’s been trying to keep the crew from going under in his absence. This includes running drugs via their soup up cars for notorious South American drug dealer Antonio Braga, a man no one has ever seen. After one of her runs for Braga, Letty is killed, presumably by Braga enforcer Fenix.

Dom is told about Letty’s death from Mia (his sister) via a phone call. He returns to America to attend her funeral. Brian is also there, and fills him in. Brian tells Dom he’s going after Braga. That makes two of them.

And that is your set up for FF4. The Latino Review reviewer calls it the best FF story he’s read in the whole franchise. I’m not sure about that. Just make sure the hot babes and hot cars keep coming, and everything will be alright.















scweet! its gunna be sweet and doms car is a new mustang? lol

there was a storyline to that? whoa~ It was like watching mortal kombat and mortal kombat anilation...

Didnt know what the F- was going on, but it was fun to see...

[96bluevert]

did any of you argue with anyone about what the car han was driving after his first car got mangled? i knew right off the bat it was an rx7 and i argued with so many freakin ppl!!!!!!!

Nope, no arguments, but that was definately my favorite car in that movie. I'm not usually a fan of orange cars, but DAMN, they did good with that car especially since it was a two-tone. Sucked when they totalled it toward the end too

I don't know about Paul Walker driving an STI in the new one..Doesn't fit his character imo

i honestly had a tear in my eye, when i was in the theatre i screamed something like OH MY F*CKING GAWD!
the ppl around me kinda looked at me lol....man she was gorgeous but im wondering if there is a way to make the front of it less fake looking, it looks like the kit was bolted on and looks really bad up close....wonder why they didnt make it flush? Man its like more than 10,000$ for that kit too, includes the whole body kit, headlights and sideskirts and and and lol

Fast and the Furious......... Remake of an old popular film........ Okay, I have to admit, I did really enjoy the first one. The second one sucked big time (at least to me) and what is up with the dialog? Who the hell writes the script? How many men in their 30's actually say "Bra" that much? No seriously, that is why it is hard to love the film, that stupid dialog. Not very realistic. Honestly another thing that upsets me is this (Hollywood's Fault).

I am learning about diversity of film in my film studies class. Right now, we are covering asian americans and how asians are looked at from hollywood. There was also a documentary with a survey of asian women, asking why the majority of them prefer white guys over all other races. What they said was that they didn't want small asian men, but the big hero white guy (because that is what they see in the movies... Thanks Hollywood). So with that said, we are watching movies with Japanese Vechicles, where the asians get a very small role. Even Rj De Vera, who is a big name in import racing (or was) when the first Fast and the Furious came out, had a very very small role. Tokyo drift.... A country white dude shows up and beats the best Japanese drifter with an american vehicle. Pardon me, but if I were Japanese, I might find that very offensive. Much like one might have felt watching Last Samurai. I am sorry, but nobody would be taught the secrets of Samurai. Especially an American. Never!


Anyways, I know you may say they are just movies, but that's what takes place. I would still watch the 4th one for the cars, but the acting isn't loved very much in these films. Nor the dialog or the style.

[DEATH]

The plot summary is exactly the same as the one that was floating around before Tokyo drift details were released. I'm not saying this is fake - just to be aware that this may be a rehashing of the same old rumour.
I too liked the movies alot.
Speedfeen - i like the bolts showing on that kit. Kinda gives it that extra mechanical look. i'm sure you could have the kit molded anyway you want if you tried hard enough.

[speedfeen]

it just looks real fake thats all IMO of course, almost like they got it outta a cracker jack box













the way its assembled dont get me wrong cause its sexy as hell....id almost rather have that car then sex lmao

[96bluevert]

Yeah I wouldn't doubt if that kit cost 10k, it's a Veilside...I like it!

[Random_Stranger]

someone had a dark red rx7 with that kit on it and it looks awesome! it was on autotrader for $60k, because it had tons of upgrades and was in some Import Tuner Magazine. I don't read magazines any more, but I did before I had a car. LOL They mainly have hondas and such in them anyways....

[speedfeen]

i read (performance auto and sound) PAS and Modified Mag

[95st-celica]

yea modified mag is a good one....i think the best story line was the 1st one with out a doubt....they should have built off of that instead of waiting till the 4th one...but o0 well..its still is going to be better then the 2nd and 3rd one i think...the 3rd one was way toooooo short....i hope they make the 4th one a little longer and maybe even leave it open for a 5th one to come out.....i think that vin diesel and walker together make for a great movie...thats y the others werent as great...soo i may be rambling but im really looking forward to the 4th

[cjh4l22]

ok first of all... the first one was the best because the racing scenes were real. none of this computer animated **** done in the 2nd one. although the 2nd one made up for it in the first ten minutes via the most unreal car ever.. THE NISSAN SKYLINE GTR34! even if they dismembered the drive train in order to get it to drift a bit during the race scene... and the third one was more impressive with the reality of the race scenes and the lack of computer animation but the story line was lacking as was the leading actors/actresses. hopefully they do better with the 4th. oh, and the rx7 from the 3rd is a tie for 2nd w/my other favorite... the TT SUPRA!

[goferris]

first was best bcuz it was the original
2nd one just plain sucked
3rd was really good.
kinda leary of the 4th

[xs94st]

hmm.

tokyo drift was cool as well as the original.

i would like to see what they could come up with for the fourth installment

[Valo666]

theres been so much speculation around the 4th one. The first one was decent, the second one was too cheesy, the 3rd one was alright but kinda stupid. It kinda gave the image that every person in japan drives a highly modified, extreamly ugly car. Like, lil bow-wow's part in that movie was terrible...and his hulk VW...im not even gonna ask. but it also gave the image that every one in japan drifts and are professional drifters, and thats the only type of racing they do over there.

But ive heard like 5 different things about this up-coming movie. Ive heard its gonna take place in europe, like in france or germany. Ive also heard its gonna take place in the UK, then ive heard it mexico and then in the middle east..but i think that last one was for a joke.

Either way, im not gonna b holding my breath for it. The novelty of thouse movies has worn off. I thought the first one was tits when it first came out...but then again i was like...13 or 14.

[Akimbo]

You guys can always come to me when you want the latest movie gossip and rumormills. Here's the most solid leads so far.

~~~~~~
from another forum:

And you, the unwilling readers of this post, are along for the ride courtesy of my horrific Razr V3 VGA-resolution pocket-lint-infested camera (I refuse to buy a new phone until some lawfirm out there somewhere gives me damn Blackberry ).

Those of you that live in LA likely know about the flourescent movie filming signs. For those that don't, or those out of the area, when there's some sort of movie shoot in the area, the crew will hang brightly colored signs with code-words on them, along with arrows. By following the arrows, you'll get to the movie shoot site.

So, my girlfriend and I are driving in Echo Park/Angeleno Heights area (just northeast of downtown LA) when we spot this sign:

Knowing that F&F 1 was filmed just blocks away, we follow the sign, which leads to the intersection where "Toretto's" store is located (yes, the one where "no one comes for the tuna!"):



Fast and Furious 4 filming in full swing

another sign led us to a parking lot with a security guard. Without missing a beat, my girlfriend rolled down the window and told the guard that we're crew and need to get to the shoot. We were promptly directed a block away, to what turned out to be Toretto's house.

The crew was busy putting up a large garage in the back yard:

and the boxes in this Universal Pictures truck said "Toretto's Kitchen" on the green tape on the boxes.

I was tempted to steal Toretto's silverware (and thus eat all of my meals "a quarter mile at a time"), but that would be an act of moral turpitude, so I abstained.

I'm going to be going back there this weekend when the shoot is in full swing to hopefully capture the cars for Version 4.0. I suggest you subscribe for updates, however horrific they may be

AND ALL MY INFO:

My summary and timeline first of all:
The Fast and the Furious
We all know how FF1 ends, Brian lets Dom go after the Charger is destroyed, Brian runs from the law after giving Dom the keys to the Supra. At the end of FF1 we see Dom in Baja, Mexico, talking about his quarter mile lifestyle and cruising the desert in an awesome red 70 Chevelle SS.
2Fast 2Furious
We first see Brian running around in a souped up 3000GT, winning race after race, and eventually finding his R34 Skyline in a beatup car lot. After fixing it up and winning more races, he makes his way to Miami while running from the law still. He is eventually aprehended and teams up with his homeboy Rome (brah), and the two take down a drug runner with the help of US Customs. His record is clean and he is free to go. This is the last we see of Brian.

FAST FORWARD 6 YEARS
Tokyo Drift
All new characters, all new scene, all new style. We've seen it, white boy gets his drift on with the azns, becomes the new DK, saves the day and the chick. The main character befriends Han, a Japanese feller who previously talked about his days in Mexico. He unfortunately dies a fiery death. At the end, our whiteboi ends up drifting against, none other than Dominic Toretto of FF1 fame. The race pits the S15 Silvia versus Dom's Plymouth Roadrunner. Sean comments on Dom's ride, and Dom replies saying he won it from his buddy Han when they rolled together in Mexico. It ain't no 10 second race, but Dom's got all the time in the world. The two launch, and the credits roll.

REWIND 1 YEAR
The Fast and the Furious 4
Here's a RUMORED plot line.
FF4 takes place five years after the events of FF1.

Dom is hiding out in the Dominican Republic after having been let go by Brian at the end of FF1. It’s here that he meets Han.

Meanwhile, Brian is in prison in Arizona. But wait, there’s a twist — Brian is undercover for the feds, and after completing his assignment, he’s back out on the streets.

So what’s happened to Letty, Dom’s girlfriend? She’s been trying to keep the crew from going under in his absence. This includes running drugs via their soup up cars for notorious South American drug dealer Antonio Braga, a man no one has ever seen. After one of her runs for Braga, Letty is killed, presumably by Braga enforcer Fenix.

Dom is told about Letty’s death from Mia (his sister) via a phone call. He returns to America to attend her funeral. Brian is also there, and fills him in. Brian tells Dom he’s going after Braga. That makes two of them.

~~~~

This story for FF4 makes sense considering the following spy shots:




Looks like a Federal Agent. Here's Dom:

Info from that site:
Early in the upcoming “Fast and the Furious 4″, a fugitive Vin Diesel comes out of hiding to secretly attend the funeral of his girlfriend at a cemetery (read here for details on the set-up of FF4); he meets Paul Walker’s character, and the two hatch a plan for revenge. That seems to be the scene currently being shot in these pictures from the set of FF4.

The pics are from JFX Online, and for you car junkies out there, check it out, they also have a video that shows off all the cars that will be in the movie and at the cemetery scene. I especially like the idea of a purple car at a funeral. Priceless.

Here's a link to the vid they are referring to:
http://www.jfxonline.com/jfxonline/2008/02/27/vin/


There you go my friends, my very own post to you with all the information I can come up with and my very own timeline. Enjoy.






I also forgot to mention that if the rumors are true (and it seems they are) and FF4 is a prequel to Tokyo Drift, then in all likelihood we might see Han return, which is good, because he had a lot of fans.

[MaskedMan]

I'm very surprised (VERY surprised) that we are able to have a civil conversation about The Fast and the Furious. I'm so impressed it almost brings a tear to my eye...
I remember watching the first Fast and the Furious movie back when I was 14.

[Random_Stranger]

I remember I busted out some parody quote from the first fast and the furious. A friend and I were challenging each other to some Need for Speed (I forgot which one) and I won. He was like "Dude, I almost had you" and I was like "You almost had me? tsk... You never had your controller!!!! Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a quarter mile. Winning is winning." That was a great moment in time.

Ah yes, finally someone who understands that real men race with tofu in the trunk!

[hongkongnerdboy]

it was "tofu" in the trunk xD

[Daftboy]

Now I need a cup holder for my water so I can be a ultra crazy drifter...lol

[hongkongnerdboy]

and get killed if you make one drop of water come out?

[MaskedMan]

Idk about you guys, but I race with tofu in my trunk all the time. I deliver it at 3am in the morning too, cause you know, places love to recieve tofu in the middle of the night. Idk how I find time to be part of a race team, but I manage. I drive daddy's car but people around the world look up to me. I never sleep because I race, deliver tofu, go to school, and work all the time. Sleep is not needed when you race with tofu in the trunk.

[Daftboy]

Sounds like my avg. day

[xs94st]

if i get bored of driving i just electrical tape my one of my hands to the steering wheel.



i remember when they were filming clerks2 in buena park next to the ufcw..thats as close to the movie magic i will ever be

if they have a good written story and dialogue, the FF4 movie may be a decent film..if they dont have bow wow or some other lame supportin actor lol

[95st-celica]

nope...its gonna be walker and diesel...should be bangin

[96bluevert]

Well they purposly made Bow Wow's character into a jokester type. That's why he had such an ugly ass car. I was watching some commentary on the movie at one point and remember them talking about looking for the goofiest car they could find and wound up getting that Hulk VW.lol..I don't think he's a bad actor, just got a stupid role in Tokyo Drift.

Won't happen, this movie is probably going to have more of a serious undertone to it. Brian and Dom are the only ones I'd expect to get a lot of screen time. No rapper has been announced. No plans for Tyrese or Ludacris to reprise their roles. Or Lucas Black as Sean. I hope that Han returns though.

[xs94st]

didnt han die in that fiery explosion?!

[MaskedMan]

didnt han die in that fiery explosion?!

I think the movie will take place before Han died and before Dom moved to Japan.

[shin]

i think the FF4 movie's gonna be more interesting than the previous installments. at least the plot seems more interesting.
