There is bit more than a month left before tenth Fast & Furious movie ? eleventh if we count the spin-off ? hits theaters all over the world with a new helping of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family.
If we started watching Fast & Furious movies today, it would be easy to forget that Fast & Furious began as a film concerning the illegal street racing scene in LA, combined with a criminal plot led by the Toretto "family."
The clandestine races were an integral element in the initial four Fast & Furious movies, however they were relegated to the background until they almost disappeared in the fifth installment, and since that time they have been only mere winks.
That may be about to change in Fast & Furious 10, which aims to bring back the street racing that fueled the franchise in its start.
Within an interview with Total Film (via CBR), the director of Fast X, Louis Leterrier, has stressed that the end of the saga will recover that part of the first films that has been eclipsed by the large doses of excessive action. .
While Fast & Furious was triumphing with its first installment, Louise Leterrier took advantage of the slipstream with films like Transporter and its sequel. Time wanted him and Jason Statham to meet again in an identical saga, together with different.
"As a fan, there are a few things that I needed to bring back from the franchise, like street racing. Fast X Film is the fun of it: when you're the director of a movie series you've admired for so a long time, you possibly can make your fantasies become a reality!"
With the end of the main saga in sight, it's a positive thing that Louis Leterrier wants to bring back a component as iconic to Fast & Furious as street racing. We'll see if Dominic Toretto is once again the king of the streets or if these races remain some sort of flimsy nod to fans of the saga for more than 20 years.
Or perhaps it had been simply they were wrong. Because 'Super Mario Bros: The Movie' is a paragon of filmic madness shot at an exceptionally interesting speed sufficient reason for a continuing beating of the characters that brilliantly recalls the beatings that Sylvester the cat or Roadrunner received (and receives), not forgetting the poor villains who were facing Popeye. Furthermore, the princess (sita) of the Mushroom Kingdom looks more, a lot more, like Furiosa or Michelle Rodriguez than Goldilocks or Anna from 'Frozen'.
Speaking of Michelle, there is a chase scene with absolutely transformative vehicles, a chase through the Rainbow highways, that could be assumed as the perfect preview of the upcoming 'Fast & Furious X'. Yes Yes. For me personally 'Super Mario Bros' is, during that crazy gizmo race, a complete 'Fast & Furious 9 3/4'. And on the soundtrack, aside from sensei Kondo's original songs and Brian Tyler's compositions, Bonnie Tyler singing 'Holding for a Hero', AC/DC and Bizet's Carmen.
They lied. Or these were wrong. This is one of the funniest and most brilliant movies. And incredibly neighborhood. From a NY neighborhood. Very Brooklyn. With some 'Little Italy'. Without forgetting King Turtle (nothing in connection with the ninja mutant chelonians of the rat master, they are very New Yorkers too) who rocks and rolls in love with Princess.
