Fast and Furious: Part 1 Title

There have been many speculations about the new Fast and Furious movie set to be released in June of 2009, so I wanted to create this series to discuss those speculations further. Let’s start out with the title of the movie. In my opinion, Fast and Furious is a horrible title for this movie. Why wouldn’t they stick with the original title, The Fast and the Furious, and then add a new subtitle to it. When I first heard about them making a new movie, I looked it up on Google and it said that the movie was going to be called: The Fast and the Furious: London Pursuit. I was so excited because they were trying to make it different then all the other ones (in a sense). I thought that Tokyo Drift, besides maybe the poor acting, was a well thought out movie. I liked that the directors did not want to stick to American themed movies anymore. By taking the action to Tokyo, we viewers got to see a different side of the way we mod and race our cars.


The title of London Pursuit really brought me back to Tokyo Drift. Was this going to be another Tokyo Drift or a whole new side to modification and racing that, us Americans who have not been to London yet, have not seen before? Who knows, right? The movie could have endless possibilities. As for the official title, Fast and Furious, I truly think that this is a stunt by the directors to try and entice younger viewers, who have not seen past Fast and the Furious movies, to come out and see the movie. Usually movies that are great have sequels that follow but some just go way overboard. Fast and the Furious movies are definitely headed in that direction. It is unfortunately true but the directors obviously do not want to make a decent movie without making all of the cash that goes along with it. The title Fast and Furious really screams a new movie, not a sequel.


The following is the official trailer for the new Fast and Furious movie set to be released sometime in June of 2009:

Just yesterday I was talking to a good friend of mine and he told me about the movie coming out next year. I was really excited when he told me that the original actors were going to be back for this one. So that means that the acting is going to be good unlike TOkyo Drift. But then he said that the movie was something about making racing one of the old muscle cars but with all these new and modern parts in it. He wasnt very excited. I for one I'm really excited for the movie to come out, I think that they're great and just who doesnt like Vin DIesel in a good action movie!!!??

I thought the first movie was pretty good and the second one was decent. However, I think they have drug this series out too long and that it has been time to move on to a different thing for a while now. I just think its boring to continually make sequels to movies.

This movie looks like something I would actually go see. I enjoyed the fast and the furious and 2 fast 2 furious, but not so much tokyo drift. It could either be good or just horrible, but I'd check it out.
