(This has been noted repeatedly in the Podcast.)<br /><br />But what villain could possibly provide a challenge to Vin? The man is apparently invincible, have survived gun shots, a tumbling bus, a one on one fight with the Rock, and even a battle with a tank where he cushioned a fall, from something like 3 stories up, by crumpling the front end of a car. No force on earth seems capable of Killing or Containing this man. <br /><br />Obviously, the only enemy that would stand even a chance against Vin's character is Vin Diesel himself, and so I present to you:<br /><br />FF8: The Fast and The Furyan! <br /><br />Where Dominic Toretto and his friends will face their greatest challenge yet, when Earth in invaded by Richard B. Riddick, an army of necromancers, a smaller army of space bounty hunters, and some sort of CGI monster that eats Tyrese before getting punched in the face repeatedly by the Rock and then exploded with the satellite laser gun from Akira for some reason, probably while being distracted by a super sexy mid-drift. <br /><br />Which brings me to my plans for FF9, Fast and Furious, Tokyo Midrift!. It's porn.

Ramsey's character did little for me, apart from annoying me. The actress herself is beautiful and talented no doubt, but the character was hopefully just a filler. The God's Eye thing was okay at first, but the more involved it became in the plot, the less and less I cared about it. It made me feel like I was watching James Bond rather than Fast & Furious at points.<br /><br />Hobbs is my favorite character in the franchise now, no doubt about it. I do like that they humanized him a little by giving him a kid, but I want to see more of Hobbs - whether it's on the battlefield or whoever he is at home, his character needs to be brought to the forefront now. Also, the idea of the big bad Hobbs being a Sunday driver or gives me a chuckle. Dwayne Johnson's comedic timing would make that a hoot to watch, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-19185209079729268652015-04-09T04:43:51.882-05:002015-04-09T04:43:51.882-05:00Number 10 might be happening

Introduce him for the first half of the movie as a mysterious driver who all we see is his car but never him. And just as the FF team is in the process of robbing like three casinos in one day, Ryan Gosling's character drives in and robs them all before the team can. Then half of the movie can be Roman and Tej following clues and tracking the mysterious driver down while the rest of the team, who has been framed for robbing the casinos, has to deal with the fallout from from the villainous mob boss who owns the casinos (played by Robert De Niro!) <br /><br />Then get this, Roman and Tej finally track Ryan Gosling's character down and he is actually Brian O'Connor's brother! He then helps the rest of the team fight the Vegas mob in the third act.

I wouldnt mind if James Wan came back to direct the next one (although dude calm down on the overcutting action scenes a bit) but the dream director is Gareth Evans of The Raid fame. Imagine what he could do on a Fast N Furious budget.<br /><br /><br />Also yes Hobbs should just take over as the leader in next movie, Vin Diesel may have been the weakest character for me in Furious 7.TOMBARTMAN454@GMAIL.COMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372444818664534482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-84763498179500540242015-04-08T23:48:11.548-05:002015-04-08T23:48:11.548-05:00Fun fact: Sung Kang's character's name in ...Fun fact: Sung Kang's character's name in the series is really Han Seoul-Oh.

I like how they handled Paul Walker's departure from the series in theory (btw, kind of a big spoiler right there in the column teaser, no?) but the execution was a little weird.<br /><br />I think these are all great ideas - particularly Hobbs being a bad driver, love that - but I'm not sure my interest in this series will survive Paul Walker's absence and I kinda wish they'd just call it quits. I walked out of FF6 excited for the next one - this time I feel like I finished something.

(This might just be my own dream) So he either wouldn't do a FF movie because of scheduling or they wouldn't let him or something. Obviously this is all speculation on my part.<br /><br />Also totally love the Enter the Dragon idea, including Van Damme. But, I cannot stomach the idea of JCVD losing a fight. It just doesn't make any sense. Dom Torreto cannot take him down. I like symbol. <br /><br />But a competition movie could also bring the movie back to its roots of racing cars on the ground, while still allowing the room for all of the crazy stuff to still happen.<br /><br />Mark Ahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695975412662760562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-17390452048376851482015-04-08T16:09:49.288-05:002015-04-08T16:09:49.288-05:00Its only a matter of time before they are racing i...Its only a matter of time before they are racing in Transformers and fighting the robots from Pacific RimPatrick McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606644848650016621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-8491533408816235632015-04-08T15:55:28.871-05:002015-04-08T15:55:28.871-05:00I definitely agree with bringing Mendes back, and ...I definitely agree with bringing Mendes back, and also with the notion of scaling things down a bit. <i>Fast Five</i> was like the <i>Avengers</i> of the franchise, with <i>Six</i> and <i>Seven</i> effectively serving as one big sequel released in two parts. In this analogy, making a few "solo" movies could provide a welcome respite, with Dom possibly moving into a mentor role for DK, or a Rock/Mendes buddy-cop adventure. <br /><br />Also, the <i>Enter the Dragon</i> template idea is kind of brilliant.
