Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

Those Fast and Furious titles do get a bit confusing.

The following article contains massive spoilers for The Fate of the Furious. If you have not yet seen the film, please bookmark this page, and return to it after your screening!

The Fast & Furious franchise has become increasingly more insane as time goes on. Each successive film has tried to outdo its predecessor but in doing so they've simply built one ridiculous moment on top of another.

The Fast and Furious movies seem to only be getting bigger as time goes on. Bigger stunts, bigger dollars, and bigger stars have been hallmarks of the latter movies in the series. This made the fact that one actor’s role seems to have been shrinking recently seem odd.

It's go time for Furious 7, and we're celebrating by counting down the ten best car stunts in the franchise's history. Here's to living life a quarter mile at a time.

Torrents. They are a mystery, one that allowed approximately 8.4 million viewers to watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this year for free.

There can’t be any talk about this latest Fast & Furious release without a nod to the late Paul Walker. I watched the Blu-ray edition for the latest movie in the franchise, Fast & Furious 6, just a short time after news of Walker’s untimely death hit the press.

As you wait for the latest F&F 7 news, show support for Walker, and for Reach Out WorldWide. Give a copy of Fast 6 to a friend or family member this holiday season, knowing that some of the money you cough up goes to a greater good.

You’d think the film might be available on DVD and Blu-ray already, but Universal Studios Home Entertainment won’t be releasing Fast & Furious 6 onto Blu-ray or DVD until December 10. Fans who are super invested in nabbing a copy of the film will be able to purchase it on Digital HD beginning on November 19.

Besides having some of the most talked about action movies of the year on his resume, The Rock can also boast that three of his most recent ventures hit #1 at the box office. To date, his 2013 releases have made more than $956 million! But movies aren't the only medium The Rock is dominating this summer.

The history of Hollywood is littered with low budget horror movies that wildly exceeded expectations. From Paranormal Activity to Saw, these films have not only generated incredible returns on initial investments, they’ve launched lucrative franchises, and if this weekend’s early estimates hold up, it seems a new horror movie may add its name to that pool of brilliant and bloody successes.

Visual Effects Supervisor David Vickery steps us through the marriage of in-camera stunt work and CGI effects that were blended to create the movie's most mind-blowing moments. See, Lin knew that part of the magic of Fast and Furious is that the audacious stunts look like they were actually performed, not constructed with computer imaging.

The sixth entry in the Fast & Furious franchise continued not only to outperform all the previous the series but also everything else in theaters. Adding $34 million to its now $170 million domestic total, Fast & Furious 6 held on to the number one spot for a second week, trumping two newcomers that came with big name casts and high expectations.

It looks like Now You See Me has already pulled a box office rabbit out of its figurative hat, by topping After Earth at the box office on Thursday night. The Summit film arrived in theaters last night and managed to bring in $1.5 million for its Thursday night haul, a half-million more than was earned by After Earth, which took in $1 million.

The Photoshops are pretty damn funny, with the stars of the franchise added to the plastic kid cars we all stared practicing on when we were children. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson firing a gun over the smiley face of on the Little Tike car is mildly disturbing. But Paul Walker seems to fit right in with the concept.

Fast & Furious 6 roared into theaters this weekend, and if the estimates hold true, the film has secured itself a high spot on the list of successful Memorial Day openers. It hasn't quite topped Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End or Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but it's in that ballpark, with reports putting the action film's 4-day estimate at about $120 million.

Why all The Avengers references? I would assume the superhero flick's sheer popularity was reason enough for these references, if it weren't that each one is directed at The Rock. 'Want does it mean?' I wondered. The more I thought about it, the more I suspected that Lin and his cast might be tipping a bit of potential casting news.

VROOM! VROOM! or…yeah…something. Deadline's Jen Yamato joins the furious pair of Katey and David to discuss Justin Lin's final entry into the Fast and Furious Franchise. Complete with a group of bikers revving through the streets outside of Jen's apartment.

After a sequel that brought back Paul Walker but not Dominic Torretto, Lin was charged with continuing the series with a film set in Tokyo, featuring none of the characters from the original The Fast and the Furious. Lin played most of the movie straight, setting up a story about an American kid getting into the drift racing scene of Tokyo, and getting away from the original film entirely… except for the last shot

From mimicking the pink pantied opening shot of Lost In Translation to aping Jarmusch's offbeat aesthetic, and spoofing Malick's dreamy visuals and heady voice over, Benjamin nails these mismatches with sly style. And, yes, the choices are absurd, but also kind of awesome.

Well, thank goodness for long-running franchises that keep pumping out movies. If not for them we’d have almost nothing to even talk about this week. But alas, the gang’s back with another hangover, another gang has the need for speed and we get an epic flick

In the final Hangover, the guys try to admit Alan (Zach Galifianakis) into a mental-help facility, only to run into trouble with a mobster (John Goodman) who has a grudge to settle with Chow (Ken Jeong).

So, seriously 2013 blockbusters, what do you have against London? The city has replaced New York as the go-to metropolis for destruction seemingly overnight, and for no particular reason we can discern. Sure, London has been having its own cultural moment lately, hosting the Summer Olympics last summer, bringing James Bond back to home turf in last year's Skyfall

Well this second and final trailer for Fast & Furious 6 certainly gets its payoff from the CinemaCon footage Eric got to see a couple of weeks ago. Lots of great action scenes take place with all amounts of Hell breaking loose in the middle of a busy highway, and the end of this trailer puts this large-scale sequence front and center.

During their presentation the studio showed off reels from movies including R.I.P.D., Kick-Ass 2, Despicable Me 2, and 2 Guns, but the real star of the show was the Fast and Furious franchise.

Sure, there's probably something written in the contracts for Fast & Furious 6 that The Rock is not the only star, that he and Vin Diesel and Paul Walker share top credits, or that the cars are somehow the leads. But let's be real. It's not a coincidence that Fast Five jolted the franchise into the stratosphere at the exact moment that The Rock joined the team, and it's not a coincidence that The Rock is part of the best moments of the film we've seen so far

First Vin Diesel got his moment in the spotlight. Then it was Paul Walker's turn. And today, the latest in the line of Fast & Furious 6 character posters has arrived online, this time delivering fans with a two-for-one special with Sung Kang and Gal Gadot getting center stage with a very cool-looking orange sports car

People have a lot of free time on their hands. Some have more than others. And those who have the most free time on their hands spend it recreating the most-recent trailer for Justin Lin’s Fast & Furious 6 using remote-controlled model racing cars. See above for the insanity.

So now we all know that Justin Lin, after directing four of the films that fall under the racing franchise that is mostly fast and also furious, will not be back to direct Fast & Furious 7: American Shenanigans, or whatever it ends up being called. I mean, the sixth installment in this seemingly endless string of films hasn’t even come out yet – that happens on May 24 – but news about the sequel is already zipping around corners and leaving other film rumors in its dust.

The latest poster for the next installment to the Fast & Furious sequel reminds us that the movie arrives in theaters in a little over two months, right around the time when the Summer 2013 movie season will be roaring its engine, and hopefully already delivering on all of the potential and hype teased in the months leading up. In the case of Fast & Furious 6, all roads apparently lead to this.
