There is bit more than a month left until the tenth Fast & Furious movie ? eleventh if we count the spin-off ? hits theaters all over the world with a fresh helping of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family.
If we started watching Fast & Furious movies today, it might be an easy task to forget that Fast & Furious began as a film concerning the illegal street racing scene in LA, coupled with a criminal plot led by the Toretto "family."
The clandestine races were a key element in the first four Fast & Furious movies, but they were relegated to the backdrop until they almost disappeared in the fifth installment, and since that time they have been nothing more than mere winks.
That may be about to change in Fast & Furious 10, which aims to bring back the street racing that fueled the franchise in its early days.
In an interview with Total Film (via CBR), the director of Fast X, Louis Leterrier, has stressed that the end of the saga will recover that part of the first films that has been eclipsed by the large doses of excessive action. .
While Fast & Furious was triumphing using its first installment, Louise Leterrier took benefit of the slipstream with films like Transporter and its own sequel. Time wanted him and Jason Statham to meet up again in an identical saga, together with different.
"As a fan, there are some things that I needed to create back from the franchise, like street racing. That's the fun of it: when you're the director of a movie series you've admired for so a long time, you may make your fantasies become a reality!"
With the finish of the main saga in sight, it's a good thing that Louis Leterrier really wants to bring back an element as iconic to Fast & Furious as street racing. Fast X movie 'll see if Dominic Toretto is once again the king of the streets or if these races remain some sort of flimsy nod to fans of the saga for a lot more than 20 years.
Or perhaps it was simply that they were wrong. Because 'Super Mario Bros: The Movie' is a paragon of filmic madness shot at an extremely interesting speed sufficient reason for a continuing beating of the characters that brilliantly recalls the beatings that Sylvester the cat or Roadrunner received (and receives), not forgetting the poor villains who were facing Popeye. Furthermore, the princess (sita) of the Mushroom Kingdom looks more, a lot more, like Furiosa or Michelle Rodriguez than Goldilocks or Anna from 'Frozen'.
Speaking of Michelle, you will find a chase scene with absolutely transformative vehicles, a chase through the Rainbow highways, that could be assumed as the perfect preview of the upcoming 'Fast & Furious X'. Yes Yes. For me 'Super Mario Bros' is, throughout that crazy gizmo race, a complete 'Fast & Furious 9 3/4'. And on the soundtrack, apart from sensei Kondo's original songs and Brian Tyler's compositions, Bonnie Tyler singing 'Holding for a Hero', AC/DC and Bizet's Carmen.
They lied. Or these were wrong. This is among the funniest & most brilliant movies. And very neighborhood. From a New York neighborhood. Very Brooklyn. With some 'Little Italy'. Without forgetting King Turtle (nothing to do with the ninja mutant chelonians of the rat master, they are very New Yorkers too) who rocks and rolls in love with Princess.
