I remember when the first one came out, I like you was into the scene and remember being extremely happy to see a movie come out that was on a topic of interest that not many knew about. Yes some bad stuff came out of it like in Houston we had car meet raids that landed some people in jail for no reason and APC wings that were the only mod on older 4 door sedans. But a lot of stuff came out of it also, like the scene growing, carshows like Nopi and HIN which have lead to bigger shows, and now a big market for performance parts which wasnt there before.

Maybe in Tx, but the scene had been hot in the east coast since the 82 mitsu conquest/starion/ 1.8 corolla and supra. Thats the car that set it off in the east

FF is the ****!!! Have to agree that some of em are kinda cheesy but without them being corny it wouldn't be half as fun.

I like the f&f movies. I grew up with them and they have matured a bit as well. I was only 13 when the first came out.

We Should all support the movie though because little known fact is Paul walker owns a 370z

I thought when those movies came out they all sucked. It wasn't till the fourth installment that i saw some type of plot building that made me want to go back and re-watch them. Then i thought... not bad. I went and saw fast 5. Though i was disappointed in the amount of cars, racing or lack there of... I thought they maximized the storyline and turns out the series in a whole, though cheesy, in many aspects is a shytload of fun to watch. Cars, guns, action, hot chix and illegal racing... it doesnt get much better than that for near-brainless superficial entertainment with cool yet mediocre heist sub-plots.

I embrace F&F for what it is... JDM/muscle fanboi action fluff and its cool when in the mood.

When my Z arrives, I am definitely taking a pic like that one, and uploading it as my profile picture in social networks. Been dreaming about that day since the movie came out

What rims are those by the way?

I've always watched and will continue to watch the series.. mostly because there aren't really any alternatives for racing/car movies out there anyway.. something is better than nothing.

however.. I'll never forgive, forget, or stop hating those horrible disgusting ricey vinyl stickers they kept putting on every car in the first couple movies. like the one with the robot pointing forward in the first one lol or the ugly blocks of silver on the Evo in the second one

it was only after the movies came out that I saw so many civics and integras in my area with that garbage stuck on the side of their cars too

Gotta admit too, they have some classy one-liners that you can use in a lot of situations.
