Agree. I don't recall Dom ever talking about a brother in any of the movies. Did I miss it?

So really, when you think about it.....why should we quibble about Han being dead and resurrected like the second fucking coming, it's not like that's the first stretch of reality in the series.....am I right?

Nope. What's hilarious is that the movies are all about FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY YO DAWG WE FAMILY and now in this one he has an evil brother we've never heard about before.

I'm coming back just to see how they bring back Han and how they explain Mia is back without Brian. My guess:

Han crawled out before the explosion and took the opportunity to do some secret mission that will inevitably help them in their current mission.

Mia wants to come back and tell Dom to not get into it with their evil brother, OR that he is still good and he can turn him back to the light side. Brian doesn't know she is there and want to protect him and their child from all of this. My guess is she is only there for a few scenes.

The car rappelling looks stupid. Everything offroad looks stupid. The Dark Knight truck flip is a cliche now, but I'll still watch.

Fast Five was actually pretty good. That's when it basically became more of an action franchise as opposed to a street racing franchise. It's gone downhill from there.

It's pretty ridiculous now. I would never go into the movie expecting good dialog, well thought out and fully fleshed out characters and captivating conflicts. I don't think I EVER did.

Funny enough when the first Fast And The Furious came out, I thought it was garbage. As someone who witnessed the LA Import car scene in the late 90's that the film portrays, it was comically ridiculous and exaggerated beyond credibility. Not much has changed, but at least it's not trying to be realistic. Not that it's an excuse to be bad, but as a car enthusiast, at least it was something related to car culture and "racing".

I really hope Ford V Ferrari will start a trend of good car movies as the FnF series is too silly to scratch that itch. Rush certainly helped. Recently watching Ronin again reminded me how good car chase scenes can be without CGI and without being grounded in motorsport.

In the meantime, there are many other better movies to watch besides FnF with cool car chases/races:

Bullitt
Le Mans
Gone in 60 Seconds (The original)
The Matrix Reloaded
The Transporter 1
Baby Driver
Death Proof
Bad Boys 2
Drive
Days Of Thunder
Road Warrior
Mad Max Fury Road
Rush
Ronin
Ford V Ferrari

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.....

A 'Fast and Furious' film with an all-female cast is in the works

https://driving.ca/dodge/auto-news/n...s-in-the-works

Vin Diesel confirms a script is in development for a new spin-off starring some of the women from the franchise

Michelle Rodriguez as daredevil Letty, Vin Diesel as fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto and director Justin Lin on the set of The 'Fast and The Furious 6.'Universal Pictures

Fast 9 isn’t even out yet, and already Vin Diesel is talking about making another Fast and Furious movie — except this time, there’s a twist.

‘I’ve created a female spin-off,” Diesel said in a recent MTV interview. “And that script comes next month, so we will see.”

Yes, an all-female Fast and Furious film is happening!

Diesel actually hinted at doing this a few years back, but now there are some real names attached to the production. According to Diesel, Nicole Perlman, Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet are involved with the script.

If you don’t know who those people are, you should. Nicole Perlman wrote the script for the fabulous Guardians of the Galaxy, and Beer was a writer for Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. Robertson-Dworet was on the team that wrote the scripts for Captain Marvel, as well as Tomb Raider.

There are plenty of female characters from the franchise that could be featured in the film. Michelle Rodriguez is an obvious one, as well as Jordana Brewster. There are also a few new faces who joined the series more recently that could make an appearance such as Charlize Theron; or Nathalie Emmanuel, who played hacker Ramsay. The cast has at this point not at all been even hinted at, though.

A female spin-off could do well for the franchise; after all, Fast and Furious is one of the only movie series where a spin-off has actually done well for itself, in particular Hobbs and Shaw.

After the ninth Fast film, rumours are there will be a 10th and likely final film, possibly split into two parts, coming in 2021.
