Now, call me a killjoy – but isnt that name a bit too different from the others, to make it feel like part of the franchise?

• The Fast and The Furious
• 2 Fast 2 Furious
• The Fast and the Furious – Tokyo Drift
• Fast and Furious

Fast Five just seems way too different – but maybe thats what it needs?

Maybe the fifth film will no longer be Furious – hence them removing that word from the name?

Its on IMDB anyway, so it looks like its more than a rumour now

The First Film

The first Fast and Furious movie came out in 2001. It was directed by Rob Cohen and was produced by Universal Studios.  It consisted of the performances of Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, and Van Diesel. The film made Van Diesel and Paul Walker into overnight stars. In the film, Van Diesel plays Dominic Toretto, a gang leader who is suspected of a string of multi-million dollar truck hijackings. Paul Walker plays Brian O’ Connor, an undercover cop who infiltrates the Los Angeles’ street racing circuit with the aim of busting Toretto. However, in the process he falls in love with Toretto’s sister Mia, played by Jordana Brewster.

In the first film, fans are treated to racing cars speeding through the streets of Los Angeles at 100 miles per hour. The first film of this franchise definitely had fans hooked to the franchise. The second film of the franchise followed in 2003. It was titled 2 Fast 2 Furious and was more entertaining than the first one.

The Sequel

In the second sequel there is no Diesel. In the film Walker is paired with a comic partner in the form of Tyrese Gibson. Together they go undercover to fight a drug lord in Miami. The sequel features supercharged cars, daring stunts, non-stop chase, and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

The Third

The third of the Fast and Furious Franchise was released in 2006. It was directed by Justin Lin and stars Lucas Black. Though, The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift was not as successful as the first two, but the fans loved it.

The Fourth

The fourth film of the franchise was release in 2009. It brings back the original cast of the first film. It stars Paul Walker, Van Diesel, and John Ortiz. In the fourth sequel, Walker and Diesel team up to take down the evil drug lord, John Ortiz. The romance between Jordana Brewster and Paul Walker is rekindled. All the original four casts head back to the Los Angeles to tackle John Ortiz. The film contains jaw-dropping stunts, fast car racing, and everything else that the fans were waiting for.

Franchise Collection Items

The Fast and Furious franchise has become such a hit among car fans that they collect almost anything related to the film. Posters and DVDs are hot collection items among the fans. The DVDs always come with extra content and great offers like free tickets to the movie.

For instance, “Hot Off the Street” collection treats fans to six new extended scenes from the Fast and the Furious which include “Brian and Mia at the Lunch Counter,” “Toretto House BBQ,” “Leon, Jesse and Dom at Toretto’s House,” “Brian and Hector at Racer’s Edge,” “Toretto’s Garage: Post Raid,” and “Ferrari and Supra Race.”

With the DVD collections of Fast and Furious franchise, fans get treated to some behind-the-scene footages of their favorite film. Fans are now eagerly waiting for the fifth installment of this franchise. Meanwhile they can enjoy the franchise on their DVD.

Its still unsure wether or not the film will actually be the 5th, or wether it’s gonna be another prequel – it would be ace tom bring all the best actors from the whole franchise and put them in one final movie-to-end-all-movies.

UPDATE – Sources now indicate that the new movie will in fact be set in Brazil!

Although dressed up to look like a full-on R34 GT-R for the movie, the car underneath was actually a lower-spec GT-S. Reports indicate that thieves, evidently knowing the car was inside, broke through a metal door and ripped off that specific car, leaving the rest but sideswiping a Studebaker and a Porsche Boxster on the way out. And to make matters worse, the car, valued at around $75,000, wasn’t even insured. Considering the movie grossed $72.5 million in opening-weekend box office sales alone, we doubt the seventy-five grand will be terribly missed.

Vin and Paul had such a blast on the new movie they decided there and then there would be a 5th – even the ending of the 4th left clues they might do another!

So like last time, we are here to gather info, videos and pictures from the up and coming 5th instalment to the Fast and Furious family.
