Fast and Furious -- 1 and 2-disc releases -- July 28, 2009
Artwork:
http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...d-furious.html
Some of the Extras:
"Under The Hood: Muscle Cars & Imports", "High Octane Action: The Stunts", "Shooting the Big Rig Heist", "Driving School With Vin Diesel", an original short film "Los Bandoleros", a digital copy, and more. The Blu-ray release will include all of that, plus additional U-Control features including a virtual car garage.
Is the short film the one reportedly directed by Diesel that shows what happened to Dom and Letty after the 1st film?

I would have picked this up, but because of the glaring "IV" at the bottom of the spine, no dice.
I know studios want you to feel like you have to get every one, but I'll be damned if I'm picking up Tokyo Drift to complete the collection.

I can be a completist myself, and since I have no interest in owning the third movie, I would hate to have I, II, and IV up there, and I'm not going to buy Tokyo Drift to complete a collection.

Ugh this pisses me off. I have 1-3 but not the newer 2-disc versions. So obviously if I buy this one (with crappy artwork) then it throws everything off. I could buy them in BD but don't really want to.

I don't own any of them and probably never will, but I do like that they made this artwork match the recently re-released versions of the other three films.

Yes. I'm tired of studios try to enforce that it's a collection on buyers. We know it's a sequel, so why put the "IV" if only to make sure you also buy I, II, and III?
I can be a completist myself, and since I have no interest in owning the third movie, I would hate to have I, II, and IV up there, and I'm not going to buy Tokyo Drift to complete a collection.

It's my choice. Some people like to think about what DVDs they buy.

Assuming this 1-disc artwork is final, I'll definitely be picking up the 1-disc. Not only will it match my previous non-2-disc releases, but I don't really need the special features on the 2-disc for this movie nor do I need yet another useless garbage digital copy. Gag reel is really about all I care for. I may consider upgrading all to BD if the price is right in the future but not now.

As for me being checked out, I hardly think anyone on a DVD message board (including myself) should be handing out mental health advice to others.

I like the one disc artwork. That stupid red border makes the two disc art look like shit. I will probably get the two disc though, as I enjoyed the first two films. Ive got a nice 6 disc case with two spots open for this one, so the cover will get tossed. I just hope the second disc isnt going to be only that useless digital copy crap that they have been doing lately.

It's not OCD, it's a personal preference. As I said before, I don't want a series that says "I," "II, and "IV," because on my shelf it would look incomplete. I can prevent myself from buying Tokyo Drift, so like pridestick, I would opt for the 1-disc, which does not say "hey, you need to buy three more discs" on the spine.

I didn't hate it, I thought it was okay. The first movie was a pretty good Point Break rip-off, the first sequel had good car chases, but the third was just...eh. I think the fact that it felt more like a DTV spinoff than a sequel is what hurt it for me, but on its own it's not a bad movie.
I'm not a completist when it comes to movie franchises, so I won't buy the third just because of if its namesake.

Yes, I know that Fast & Furious ties into Tokyo Drift, but that's only though a line of dialogue and a character, nothing plot-wise.

Yeah, it is 1-2-4, which makes for a great trilogy imo. Tokyo drift is just horrendous. I own it but I can't ever remember watching it. I've watched the first one a lot though and I'm sure I'll watch the 4th one too. I really can't blame anyone for not wanting the third and not buying it.

This thread is hilarious, and makes me happy that I buy movies because I like the movies, and not because of whether or not there's an insignia on the spine.

Plenty of people on this board go to Best Buy every Tuesday to pick up five or six of the new releases to add to their collection of 5,000, plenty of people go out and buy every store exclusive of Iron Man and The Dark Knight, plenty of people buy sequels to complete the series, and you know what? Even though that may not be what I do, I never question it. I never say "why buy a movie you haven't even seen?" or "why do you need six different versions of Iron Man?" You know why? To each his own. And it would be nice if people would respect other's opinions on a matter as trivial as this.
But it's my fault, for expecting a mature response, as opposed to the one I got.

Looks like it matches the new rereleases. Got to see this for free when friend bought the other three version for the digital copies (I didn't even ask). Was about as good as one could expect from this sort of thing.
The homoeroticism quotient was also hilariously high. There were some might fine automobiles on display though.

I do like the movie, but I'm entitled to not want to buy it for a particular reason.
