I'd agree with that.
He said "whats up" to me and my in NYC.

Automatically in my good graces.

It should have been him instead of Cruise as Jack Reacher

Pretty sure the guy in One Shot (the book Jack Reacher is based on) is a 6"2 giant of a man.

I find it hillarious that Cruise was cast.. or cast himself? in it.

I haven't even seen past Tokyo Drift. I can't believe there's going to be 6 now.

I love the macho shoot em up movies as much as the next guy, but these suped up go carts with horrible acting does not an action movie make.

Pfft you're all wrong. I love those movies.

Fast Five was awesome so I'm geniunely excited for this.
They have nothing to do with street racing or cars anymore though.

I have to agree. There's always a place in action movies for car races. The Fast series does a pretty bang up job of these.

I've never watched Tokyo Drift or the 3rd one (I don't think). But I found 4 and 5 to actually be quite entertaining. 6 should be fun.

Tokyo Drift is the third one.

It's the only one that is as car-centric as the first.

I actually liked it a lot and all the driving scenes in it were real which makes it more enjoyable to watch but a lot of people didn't.

I'd rank them:

1. The Fast and the Furious
2. Fast Five
3. Tokyo Drift
4. Fast and Furious (or whatever the fourth one was called)
5. 2 Fast 2 Furious

Altough after watching the first one for the first time in ages not too long ago, I have to say the "car talk" in that movie is so awful you can't help but laugh. I can still see past it though cause when I watched it as a kid it all sounded so cool and when that Supra smoked that Ferarri? Psshhh the grade 6 version of me lost his mind.

"Overnight parts, from Japan"

If they were to all come out today then the 5th one would be my favorite unless they fixed the car-talk in #1

The 6th one should be awesome. I loved Tokyo Drift because it had the second best car collection in the series. Seeing the Nissan S 15 in the beginning was awesome. Then in the end when Vin rolls up in a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner made me giddy. Favorite classic car of em all.

I guess to really enjoy these movie you really have to be a bit of a car geek becasue yes, the acting isn't awesome. But that fight between The Rock and Vin Diesel was cool.

And chronologically speaking, Tokyo Drift is the last movie in the series. Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing Han in 4-5 and now six.

Oh God, yes! I think I shed a tear just from the trailer. There is something just so fulfilling in seeing pencil and paint on paper compared to 3D art. I would be perfectly content with there being no other animation studio in existence other than Studio Ghibli.
