Did you like the 2001 sleeper hit The Fast and The Furious, but are you really not a fan of definite articles? Then 2009's Fast & Furious is the movie for you! After the twin triumphs of The Pacifier and Babylon A.D., Vin Diesel has finally reunited with his co-star from The Fast and The Furious: a several-sizes-too-small wife-beater! Also returning is the other guy from The Fast and The Furious (legal name: The Other Guy From The Fast and The Furious), shocking those of us who were pretty confident that he was the guy that had helped us try on shoes the other day at Famous Footwear.

When his girlfriend is murdered, Vin Diesel is forced to return to the US where he is wanted for...well that isn't really made clear. But before he even has a chance to mumble something unintelligible in a really deep voice under his breath, he finds himself in the race of his life! Seriously, the races often feel like they have lasted for the duration of a human lifetime. But at least in between the interminable driving scenes we're treated to a rich, nuanced film tapestry, featuring the very finest in Stock Characters spouting refined Screenplay Clichés. If your idea of a good time is watching the Angry Chief say "Talk to me", you're in for quite a thrill ride (just make sure to "lock and load.")

Mike, Kevin and Bill hopped into the sidecar for Fast & Furious, but were concerned by the lack of seatbelts for all three of them so they instead observed it from a reasonable distance.

**Viewers note: It is not necessary to have seen The Fast and The Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, 2 Fast 2 Be 4ious, The Love Guru, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, 2 Fast 2 Furious: 2 Tokyo 2 Drift, The Muppets Take The Fast and The Furious, or The Furious and The Fast Bald Man (Thailand Bootleg version) to follow the plot of Fast and Furious**

Great choice! Looking forward to it.

I am glad that Rifftrax is doing this turd of a movie.

[Torgo]

I despised the original Fast and the Furious, when I heard they were doing part 4, I smiled.

Though, for all who buy this one, keep in mind this is the latest one simply titled "Fast & Furious" not the original titled "The Fast and the Furious." Why they titled it in such a way to confuse moviegoers, I'm not sure. But hell, I guess it's better than just calling it "4 Fast 4 Furious."

[RexDart]

So is different than the first movie? Or is it just retitled?

I'm trying to think of another movie that's done that, and I can't think of any. Is that something that's happened enough times that it's known to have been an issue?

Anyways, Fast & Furious (aka the Fast and the Furious part 4) is out now! www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/fast-and-furious

The upcoming The Final Destination does kinda the same thing; it's actually the fourth movie in the franchise, but just adds a "The" to the name of the first movie.

[Mighty Jack]

And the one after that will be called, "The, The Final Destination"?

Well that's confussing, and opens a whole new possibilities, we could have "The Casabalanca" for example

I waited too long to get the film (Fast/Furious), bought the Rifftrax but since it's a weekened the movie's all rented out. WTH? People, really, this is the must see movie rental? Hope they all dowloaded the 'trax. Guess I'll go see "Julia and Julia" for my weekend entertainment instead.

I was able to rent it, but iu had to make a reservation on the beggining of the week.
But it's worth it: The riffing is great, i've watched twice already.

I think you could argue that Stalone started it with Rocky Balboa and Rambo a few years ago.

Anywho, I checked this movie out to see if it was worth suffering through for a RiffTrax. I like to have my RiffTrax movies on my self, ready at a moments notice, so if it was, I'd have to buy it. I haven't seen the original since it first came out and didn't bother with the sequels. God what a silly movie. Those CGI "car stunts" were hillarious. Yet, unlike the first one, I didn't feel a deep seething hatred for it. Goofy, but it was sort of a "whatever" of an action movie. And I knew deep in my heart this series is what RiffTrax was made for, so I intend to purchase and download real soon.

But...maybe I'd feel that way about any movie starring Vin Diesel. I haven't watched xXx yet, but it was ripe for it and I probably should someday.

[callipygias]

I wasn't too excited when they announced this one, but it was GREAT! I get the feeling it will be one of those that's easy to watch over and over and over.
