Le Fast and Le Furious.

By the way I doubt the european version will happen next. It was said that almost half the audience this weekend was hispanics. This reflects similar numbers to the original one as well as the sequel in Miami. Hispanics did not relate at all with the Tokyo version so they skipped it, and it was a flop.

They will definitely stick with what it works, and maybe go somewhere else in latin america. Europe is also strong market for car fanatics, but considering 80% of the cast for this one was also dominican or mexican, I think it will continue to go that way.

Tokyo flopped because it had no stars and almost zero promotion when it was released. With the way the studio avvoided promoting Tokyo Drift I felt like the film was almost a straight to DVD release. This one is succeeding because I couldn't get away from the promotion. It was fucking everywhere. It also has all the original stars back in it.

I don't think the comparison between Tokyo Drift and this film will determine where they set the next one. I say considering stars of the film are already talking about how studio bosses want Europe for the next one, I'm betting money I'll be right over you.

I don't think anyone legitimately gives a shit where the next one is set.

It was just fun to crack jokes at this shitty movies expense.

Le Fast Le Furious. lulz.

That's kinda funny but not that great. I remember this old one from the first one was pretty good.

This was definitely a lot better than I expected. It goes back to the first one being entertaining and fun and pretty much pointless. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker were born for those roles. They should just keep doing these movies and nothing else.

Agreed.

The opening scene is ridiculously entertaining. It's the extended version of the original trailer.

The story can't hold my attention as well as classic 70s car chase films, but Lin definitely delivers the chases.

^I take it you're anticipating Le Fast Le Furious more than Where the Wild Things Are?

Best movie EVER if only because Michelle Rodriguez dies! Other than that, it's filled with such cliched lines of dialogue that you can answer before they are spit out, some admirable action/driving scenes that probably went on a little longer than should have, and a rehashed plot of the first one. Oh, and did I mention Michelle Rodriguez dies?
