VIDEO: Fast and Furious footage not yet seen
The Fast and Furious franchise started off with a monumental bang, but quickly became a bit of a drag. OK, the original Fast and Furious was pretty darn good, but the other two actually removed brain cells from all who watched them. Did the script go bad, or was it just a lack of
We've shown you a couple trailers so far, and after the jump are a few teaser minutes of the film that haven't been seen yet. Brian O'Connor's GT-R is fast and Dom Toretto's Chevelle SS is furious enough to magically flip some dude's ride over a bridge. We're pretty sure we won't be quoting Vin and Paul lines from Furious 4 after we see the movie, but some pretty sweet rides and the return of the Diesel should be enough to get us back into the theater.

Not to mention impressive stunt driving.

Vin Diesel being in it assures me that it will be a great film.

oh c'mon, these movies are just pure fun, they are enjoyable to most gearheads as long as you don't take them seriously.

It's just a much cooler Dukes of Hazzard.

I honestly liked the first one, but hated the second. Loved the third, so will it skip another gen.? I hope not, but we'll see...

That new trailer actually looked pretty decent. I like Justin Lin's directing style when it comes to the car scenes. The ones in this trailer are kind of reminiscent of the Tokyo Drift. Hopefully, this won't be let down by terrible acting and a completely balls storyline like 2Fast 2Furious and Tokyo Drift.

I have yet to see a trailer for this movie that makes me think it might be even a little bit good. It looks just awful, it's the same feeling I got when seeing previews for 2F2F. I have a sneaking suspicion that 4 Fast 4 Furious is going to be another boring crime movie with slightly more cars than normal crime movies. Even these driving scenes look sub-par compared to 3 Fast 3 Furious or even 1 Fast 1 Furious, which at least had an epic cheese factor to its credit. I think I'll be waiting to catch this one on Netflix.

the first one was terrible and you will find most people agree. 2nd one was the worst. Tokyo drift was only any good because they didnt use any CGI, all real stunts.

There was plenty of CGI it Tokyo Drift-o, yo.

Pretty sure there was some fairly obvious CGI at least a couple times. One that I can think of off the top of my head was when they were in the girl's RX8 and drifting around a mountain with a bunch of cars at night. Either they figured out how to turn off Earth physics for the purpose of filming movies, or those cars were CG. I also remember one particular drift that used some heavy CG until the car came close to the camera, then it abruptly shifted to reality.
Regardless, I don't think CGI can single-handedly make or break a movie unless it's, well, a CGI movie. A bad movie is going to be a bad movie even if you strip out all the CG scenes.

Looks mind numbingly stupid, for the fourth time, but could be fun. A bit of suspension of the laws of physics though, even NASCAR racers that crash at 200mph don't roll that many times.

I will see it, of course, glad to see that most of the cast is back. I like all the moves for different reasons. The first one is the best, but it earns some of that because it simply is the first. Still great casting, decent racing. Don't know why people hate the 2nd one so much, I enjoyed it - thought it was the funniest so far. Too much cop story though. 3rd one kind of lost me a bit in the middle, got a bit too preachy and took itslef a bit too seriously with the angst between the main characters.
I hope this one is more of a focus on cars, but with the death of one of the main characters I figure it'll mostly be about revenge then just hanging out amongst car people and racing.
