Jeez, they're still up with this? When will it end Oh Lord!!! 8? Do we really need 8 of these guys? I would dare say 1 was already more than I could handle.

Awesome. I love these films, but I don't think they will be the same without Paul Walker

Sure it will be Baz, the big draw was always Vin they found that out the hard way, when Paul could not carry the series alone, which became painfully obvious in the follow-up sequel, after they elected to leave Vin out.

Then the series went farther down hill in number three, following the thinking that the "car crap" alone would carry it and left Paul & Vin both out.

Which is why they brought them both back but fact is Vin will be able to draw in spite of the fact Paul is gone, would not have worked the other way around as I said they already tried that.



Oh and alien you will be happy to know when you reach retirement age they will likely still be making them lol.

I'm thinking I read somewhere that Vin had mentioned (he likes to leak things) that they had tentative plans for ten films, possibly but as long as they make money, that will be out the window and they will continue putting "someone" behind the wheel until they don't, have no fear on that.

Look at the series failures they make every year in hopes of making money on a near dead franchise, no way they will let a cash cow like Fast & Furious die until they are positive it has no gold left to mine in it and that actually in truth could be awhile.

I'm with Baz I enjoy these films, they're not amazing but worth a watch.

Oh I'm with you fellas, I like them too.

I do think you have to watch films like this for what they are intended to be which is "Pure Fun!"

This series does deliver big-time on the fun factor with non-stop action, over the top stunts, edge of your seat thrills and unending twists & turns.

Absolutely, these films are just pure fun. I mean, how many gears do these cars have when they are racing? 30? 40? They are as realistic as government speech.

I suppose you are right about Walker, CT. It will be interesting to see who they get to fill his racing shoes though. I didn't like the guy from Tokyo Drift. To me he was trying to be like Paul Walker, and it was unnatural.

I didn't care for him either, lot of good actors out there surely they can pick one.
