Well, to be fair, the F&F movies were running dry after the fifth one (IMO).
But if they keep being made, there's always going to be a market for toys based on the antics on screen.
Yeah one of the most true things have seen in a while. I mean there has been no bigger franchise to make cars from and people still buy them. But once they started making the irrelevant cars and ones you don't even remember seeing it's time to stop.
Supposedly the next one is the last.
- Thank goodness. They lost the plot when they all became secret agents saving the world - a world that has no physics. — Chaos_Canyon
I'd love to see them do a "Death Race" line of cars or "Twisted Metal" line of cars...how cool would those be?!?
- "Death Race" Jason Statham era or David Carradine era? — Chris_Hood
- yea, and some of the fury road cars, too — dr_dodge
- YES, "Fury Road"!! There's a banger idea for a premium diorama set, and I never buy those!! — Chris_Hood
I quietly made my exit from the franchise after the second film. Anything further, I was shown against my prior consent.
UFF DA has this year been outright oppressive from Mattel in its aims to celebrate the 25th anniversary, to slake the unyielding THIRST with new deco, reversed deco, greyscale deco, sand flat racing deco even on the WHEELS
Glad I won't be around for the 50th Anniversary
thruth, and very funny, too
- Mattel: This meme makes us SAD! Us Collectors: Then maybe STOP making it RELEVANT? — Chris_Hood
Fast and Furious is what kids know. For us it was Snake and Mongoose, Evel Knievel and Unser Indy cars.
SSP, Cox .049 and Estes rocket motors were cool too.
Yeah I still prefer Vanishing Point, David Caradine' s Cannonball, The Gumball Rally, The Cannonball Run (1 and even 2) and who could forget Megaforce!
- I love the old 70's and early 80s car chase movies. They were so visceral. There is a classic NZ film called Goodbye Pork Pie, base don a Mini Cooper driving from one end of NZ to the other. Got some fantastic driving and stunts in it. — Chaos_Canyon
- I'm gonna have to check that out! Thanks! — Skid_Marks_Diecast_Racing
- Here's a link for the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDEH7wLQD64 — Chaos_Canyon
The FF movies are the Sharknado of car flicks.
The movies have never taken themselves seriously and I appreciate that...keep making movies with cool, fast cars and people will watch. I believe the first movie is out in theatres for a re-release...one quarter-mile at a time, folks
When they made "Fast X," they really missed the opportunity to call it "Fast 10 Your Seat Belts" I will never forgive them. They had 22 years to be prepared and decided on "Fast X"......


haha. Those buckets could also be the movies themselves.
