It has made almost 700 million so far.  I enjoyed this one, not my fave but very good.

This is actually the first Hollywood movie filmed in Cuba. Info taken from IMDB.

 

If it's true than seems strange that nothing was filmed there back in 30s-50s.

This film, and the others, made me wonder if the writer/producer/whoever took inspiration off Sleeping Dogs not gonna lie.

Considering the Rock doesn't won't do another one and Vins age it might be the last.

Fast 9 is in pre production and set for 2019 and Fast 10 is in the announced stage for 2021

Honestly fast 8 was okay , it wasn't the best fast and furious or the worst . The action was crazy and over the top . But I predicted the story from the trailer and got it on point, my only question is how would they top the sub in fast 9 🙁

Glad to hear that.

Hopefully 10 is the last one. Would be a great way to go out by releasing it on the 20th anniversary of the F&F series (June 21, 2021)

[Femme Fatale]

They're making more?? Christ.

[Gummy]

Why were they making another one? I thought 7 was a perfect ending since the death of Paul Walker, but then they made another one because Paul Walker promised an 8th film, understandable, but why another one?

[Rafae]

8th was such a chore to get through

I feel like the humor was the only thing keeping it going. Even Dom's change of character wasn't enough to keep the movie going

Despite not particularly looking forward to this, I quite enjoyed it, especially the scenes with Statham and the baby.. My only quibble is that there was no mention or anything of Han. Decker could have made a comment or something, a mere sorry about your friend would have been enough, just some reference.

I love how the Japanese titles for this series aren't serious at all.

 

Fate of the Furious sounds so dramatic. The Japanese version? Wild Speed: ICE BREAK (Because of a submarine breaking the ice)

Fast & Furious 7? Wild Speed: SKY MISSION (Because of the cars falling out of the plane)

Fast 5? Wild Speed: MEGA MAX (Because why the hell not?)

 

End up better representing the comedy in the series imo. Love how they simply take one major scene of the movie to give it the proper subtitle.

 

Anywho, enjoyed it, the comedy was pretty good, the cars were amazing, and it was just as ridiculous as it should be. The whole thing in Cuba was hilarious!

Much better than fast 7 which is very bad to me. I still prefer the old ones tho.

[Kaniel Outis]

I enjoyed watching this. There was some nice comic relief as well as the cars were amazing. Pretty sure that everyone enjoyed the whole sequence with cars and submarines battling and the cars being over-ridden with remote access. I was hoping this to be the last movie and they ended up announcing 2 more titles. 10 movie goals? Not gonna work TBH.

[Evil empire]

I love this movie. I didn't see all the Fast & furious and so far n°4 is my favorite.

[Sunrise Driver]

F&F8 onwards are officially non-canon to me. F&F feel, present even in 6 and 7, is totally abscent here.

 

People bitch and moan that it should've ended, but it doesn't change the fact the series draws massive numbers critically and financially. Furious 7 made over $1 Billion.

Cause dumbf**ks like me keep going and going. But no more for me at least. Don't care for slightest how the story continues.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I finally got around to seeing it. Not as good as Furious 7, but better than I thought. 

 

Spoiler

In saying that Dom going rogue was pointless seeing as he rejoined his "family" at the end. It would've been way more interesting if he stayed rogue for a foundation to build the next movie off. It just felt like it didn't really go anywhere and was only shoehorned for the sake of trying something different.

 

Cool in theory, but in practice a completely wasted opportunity IMO.

 

It had some really cool chase sequences, but where to from here? I can't help, but feel since Paul Walker's death it's impacted the direction they were intending the series to go. I can't think of much more they can do without it feeling like it's been done before.
