There is bit more when compared to a month left until the tenth Fast & Furious movie ? eleventh if we count the spin-off ? hits theaters all over the world with a new helping of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family.
If we started watching Fast & Furious movies today, it will be easy to forget that Fast & Furious began as a film about the illegal street racing scene in Los Angeles, combined with a criminal plot led by the Toretto "family."
The clandestine races were an integral 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 only mere winks.
That may be about to change in Fast & Furious 10, which aims to bring back the road racing that fueled the franchise in its start.
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 element of the first films that is eclipsed by the large doses of excessive action. .
While Fast & Furious was triumphing using its first installment, Louise Leterrier took advantage of the slipstream with films like Transporter and its own sequel. Time wanted him and Jason Statham to meet up again in a similar saga, together with different.
"As a fan, there are some things that I wanted to bring back from the franchise, like street racing. That is the fun of it: when you're the director of a movie series you've admired for so many years, you can create your fantasies come true!"
With the end of the primary saga in sight, it is a positive thing that Louis Leterrier wants to bring back a component as iconic to Fast & Furious as street racing. We'll see if Dominic Toretto is once more the king of the streets or if these races remain some form of flimsy nod to fans of the saga for a lot more than 20 years.
Or perhaps it had been simply they were wrong. Because 'Super Mario Bros: The Movie' is a paragon of filmic madness shot at an exceptionally interesting speed and with 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 a fabulous preview of the upcoming 'Fast & Furious X'. Yes Yes. For me personally '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 they were wrong. This is one of the funniest and 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 deeply in love with Princess.
