FF4 gets official name, plot details revealed
Our cinema-obsessed sister-site got the low down on the next installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, and since the plot and character development (or lack thereof) will be predictable enough, Universal decided to drop the "Four" from the title, so the new flick will simply be known as "Fast and Furious." But wait, there's less. The plot synopsis involves everyone's least-favorite tight-laced trooper, Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and the smash-happy Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) reigniting their feud, but putting bad blood aside to defeat a "shared enemy." The movie will take place in Los Angeles and Mexico, and despite his better angels, the film's director Justin Lin is considering another installment before retiring the series. Fast and Furious is due to hit theaters June 5, 2009. Mark your calendars in anticipation, or avoidance.

Just released info:
The last one in the series will be called Fuel-Efficient and Forgetful and pit rival senior citizens centers racing Fits and Focii with the community watchmen in Fusions. But this one old guy has a Ford Fiesta that just needs some work. Spinoff on NBC brought to you by Ford.
Freaky.
Welcome to the new world of aging baby boomers and environmentalists.

So who gets the GT-R? I mean, there has to be one, right?

Genesis coupe, anyone?

There is going to be a GT-R.
I think the word is the J-specConnect JDM GT-R is going to be in it and I believe Vin's character is supposedly rocking it.
Thats the rumour as I've heard it. And Genesis Coupe is going to be in it, too.

why does it have to be all rice? why cant there be ferraris, lambos, corvettes, porchses, pagani, ultima, GT-R etc along with some tuner cars (most importantly, good taste. maybe allowing four colors on a car max)? seems like a good idea, i dont know.

That plot sounds... really bad and really lame
But nobody watches FF for the plot right? It's all about the cars for me

Well put, it's basically car porn. I don't watch it for the storyline.

F&F is as much car porn as TubGirl is regular porn...
Nobody likes ricers, not even ricers..

I like the "putting bad blood aside to battle a shared enemy" concept. Will they be teaming up to battle world hunger? Malaria? Neo-naziism?

Faulty distributors produced in Indonesian sweatshops?

That line got me, too. Not because of the "shared enemy" bit, but because of the "bad blood" bit. As I recall, Walker's character gave Diesel's character a car at the end of the first movie to let him escape...and then tells his friend in the second movie that he felt he owed him, blah, blah, blah. What bad blood? Seriously.
