It is the cinematic question for the ages: When will the gang from the Fast and Furious movies go to space? With a new movie coming out next week, The Fate of the Furious, we are sad to report that, no, Dominic Toretto does not go into space. (Though, he does fight a submarine.)

Ever since the Fast and Furious films shifted from movies about car racing to movies about an international team of superheroes, this "space" question has come up probably more times than is healthy. But in a movie franchise that prides itself on taking the stakes higher and higher well, they're eventually going to have to go to space.


I presented this to The Fate of the Furious writer Chris Morgan (Morgan has written all the Fast movies since The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) and he certainly didn't rule it out. He didn't say "yes," but, personally, I'm just going to accept this as a "yes."

"Look, I get all versions of that question," says Morgan with a hearty laugh. "I get, 'Are you going to space?,' and, 'Please, God, tell me you're not going to space because you'll lose me if you do.'"

This is the point I assured Morgan he wouldn't lose anyone. Then floated the idea that, in fact, he could only gain people.


I agree with the author of the article. It seems like a forgone conclusion at this point.

Something about granny shifting when you should have been double clutching and winning is winning.

I stopped watching after Tokyo drift, but my wife kept watching. I went to go see the last one and I really liked it. I may catch up. And that Michelle Rodriguez is all kinds of dirty hot.

Wore out two of those bad boys on family trips. We would set one up in the kids car and watch movies from trophy Club to Pensacola or Kansas city every summer

Wasn't there someone here that pitched a plot where they go back in time and kill Hitler for the 10th movie?
The Fast and the Fuhrer10us or something?

I think you meant to say Leprechaun vs F&F in space.

So was I.

But if you need more explanation, people love fast cars, explosions, hot chicks, and The Rock. It's really that simple.

It's the same reason Transformers movies continue to do well. The difference is that F&F has generally been on an upward curve of quality (1 and 5 are the high outliers) and Transformers has been **** ever since T2.

So are we. They are very dumb and very awesome.

They are the awesomely dumb movies that the Transformers movies should be, but they take themselves too seriously.

[edit]looks like me and BES are thinking the same way with the TF comparison.

James Cameron had nothing to do with the downfall of Transformers.

Right now I'd rather watch a Transformers movie with Marky Mark than any more Avatar movies.

The FnF movies are popular because they are fun, loud, action packed, dumb, full of hot chicks and loud music, and refuse to engage in any dumb social commentary. In short, they are the eighties and nineties action movies starring Vin Diesel and the Rock.

That said, I STILL hate Michelle Rodriguez.

I still struggle with the series continuing without my boy Brian. Just can't imagine the series without him.

I love the series. Even too fast too furious. My personal favorite is the one with the 30 mile long runway.

You go to FnF with a group of friends after quite a bit of drinking... it's fun every time!

I have my doubts that this movie will come close to the box office of the last one. I think FF7 was so huge because of the Paul Walker factor. Don't get me wrong; I still think this movie will make a ton of money, but I think there was a nostalgia factor for the last one that pushed it's totals so high.

Just got passed to go see it in Austin on Wed. I probably won't go. They say non transferable & that they check id. I've been to others (different theatre & studio) who say they do and don't really. Anyone want to give it a shot?
