There is bit more than a month left until the tenth Fast & Furious movie ? eleventh if we count the spin-off ? hits theaters around the globe with a fresh helping of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family.
If we started watching Fast & Furious movies today, it will be easy to forget that Fast & Furious began as a film concerning the illegal street racing scene in LA, coupled with a criminal plot led by the Toretto "family."
https://www.blackadamovie.com were a key element in the first four Fast & Furious movies, but they were relegated to the background until they almost disappeared in the fifth installment, and since that time they have been nothing more than mere winks.
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 element 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 own sequel. Time wanted him and Jason Statham to meet again in a similar saga, and also different.
"As a fan, there are several things that I wanted to bring back from the franchise, like street racing. That's the fun of it: if you are the director of a movie series you've admired for so many years, you can create your fantasies come true!"
With the finish of the main saga in sight, it is a good thing that Louis Leterrier really wants to bring back an element 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 a lot 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 extremely interesting speed and with a continuing beating of the characters that brilliantly recalls the beatings that Sylvester the cat or Roadrunner received (and receives), not to mention the poor villains who were facing Popeye. Furthermore, the princess (sita) of the Mushroom Kingdom looks more, much more, like Furiosa or Michelle Rodriguez than Goldilocks or Anna from 'Frozen'.
Speaking of Michelle, there exists a chase scene with absolutely transformative vehicles, a chase through the Rainbow highways, which could be assumed as a fabulous preview of the upcoming 'Fast & Furious X'. Yes Yes. For me 'Super Mario Bros' is, during that crazy gizmo race, a complete 'Fast & Furious 9 3/4'. And on the soundtrack, apart 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 many funniest & most brilliant movies. And very neighborhood. From a New York neighborhood. Very Brooklyn. With some 'Little Italy'. Without forgetting King Turtle (nothing in connection with the ninja mutant chelonians of the rat master, they're very New Yorkers too) who rocks and rolls in love with Princess.
