I dont' understand this one yet. Is it supposed to be a re-make of the original movie, or is it supposed to be the third one? I had assumed Tokyo Drift was the third one, but it was never called the third one, just a different one. So, confused about this one. It SHOULD be titled as Fast and Furious 3, but it's not. It's almost advertised as a re-make? Why re-make? I liked the first three, well, I liked 2F2F and Tokyo Drift much better than the first. So let's hope this one is even better. Yet, some of it reminds me of Death Race for some ill reason? Death Race or Mad Max, one of the two where their racing in the desert.

Tokyo Drift seemed quite removed from those first two but still made some references back to them and had Vin Diesel in the end as a cameo.

Am I the only one that recognised both Vin Diesel and the car he was driving (The Hammer)? Is there anyone else like me?

I know where the flat green camaro came from its the F BOMB that hot rod magazine did.if i remember right it has something like 1500 hp.The chevelle came outta the deathrace movie(when the chick drives up at the end of the movie) just a little bit more paint on it.The carger is outta the first one it was one of the filler cars during the movie.The import that cop drives is outta the second movie 2f2f.The others like the grand national and the trucks are all new.

I liked the first and second one, tokyo drift the plot and story weren't that good I thought. This one looks good from the previews. The first one was my favorite and I think this is the final movie from what they say.

I think of all of theme Tokyo drift was my favorite. The chase seen was really awesome, and Han's orange/black Mazda was sweet too. Oh and let's not forget that Asian actress in Tokyo Drift. She was SMOKIN! I sure loved her! ;)

I'm still seeing Death Race and Mad Max scenes in this new one. Anyone else see's it?

2 Fast 2 Furious is a remake of The Fast and the Furious. Tokyo Drift is supposed to be before The Fast and The furious. Fast and Furious is a sequal (or prequal, if I spelled those right) to 2Fast 2Furious. I am going to see it tommorrow, so I'll tell you guys how I thought it was.

I don't think you mean re-make. 2F2F was a definet sequal to the first one as they mentioned "giving him his car key's."

Personally, I'm looking forward to Transformers 2, and T-4.

Just saw it. Great movie.It takes place timewise between 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift. Awesome mix of cars, something for everybody. Different from all of the other movies to in a good way. Tokyo Drift was my favourite as well, until I saw this one. Oh and another plus....no forced lines or bullspit with characters talking about their bad throttle response and listing off their mods like they're reading from a catalog. No extra scenes after the credits either, so you don't gotta wait around. Hope I didn't spoil anything.

I saw a making of: on HBO and I sort of figured out that it took place between 2 Fast and Tokyo Drift because of a certain character that was in both films. Sorry to be so vague but I don't wanna spoil the movie for anyone. I will say I really wanna see it 'cause I can't figure out how they woulda ever let Brian be a cop again. Hope there's a backstory on that. And Kevin is right the F-Bomb Camaro was built by David Frieberger and HRM. 1500 HP in a Camaro. Sick, absolutely sick.

Then shouldn't they call it Fast and Furious 2.5?

I haven't seen 2F in over four years, so I barely remember it. Can't wait to see it tonite.

This is true but the actual cars were in the movie according to hot rod mag.Though they were never drivin(i guess vin was scared to get in the F-BOMB though who would blame him)

My question is what is this Hammer everyone is talking about is it the chevelle that stands up in the race?

Hammer is the 70 plymouth gtx that appered at the very end of tokyo drift. IIRC it was built be Steve Stopes (sp) at Pure Vision.

and the real f-bomb camaro was not in the movie, every single one was a replica of it :)

I saw it tonight. Good movie, right up there with Tokyo Drift.

and, according to an online onterview with the director, this movie takes place BEFORE 2f2f..

this movie is the true sequel, or TFandTF 1.5...

The tag "Fast and the Furious" is a franchise, much like "national lampoon". It was never ment to be filmed as 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. All the characters seem to blend at one point or another. I'm just glad they've seened to keep the same actors so far. I cant wait to see it my self, the first film set the stage for the vibe but "Tokyo Drift" is my favorite so far. Moslty for the opening race that ends with the star in the police station shooting a @#$% eating grin at the girl with a bloody grill. (man that was great)

I think Tokyo Drift had the hottest chick in there. Wish I knew the name of that Asian girl, she was yummy!

If your talking about the girl he falls for (Neela), she's from Peru. Her names Nathalie Kelley. Try google, I dont think shes been in many films.
