yep, total over the top action the delivers each time... They know exactly what they are and just entertaining as hell. We all have guilty pleasures, this just happens to be one of them for a lot of us.

We have the tag line for the poster.

Where do you pick up the series in Part 5?

After Tokyo Drift where we last saw Dom with Lucas Black's character?

Or after Fast and Furious, which was a prequel to Tokyo Drift?

I think the ending of Fast and Furious made it pretty clear??

Well they could always pull a Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and have the first half of the movie take place beforeTokyo Drift and the second half take place after. Just add a re-enactment of Tokyo Drift's ending to the middle of the fifth movie but from Vin Diesel's perspective and have it end with Lucas Black joining the team.

I know, but technically you still have 2 open timelines even though the end of Fast and Furious was a cliffhanger.

That might be a good route to take. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much they'll be able to work in Han, in a larger way than just a cameo.

Of course I know they have a following. So does American Idol. So does The Jersey Shore. So does a LOT of crap that I thought the users here at DVDtalk, with their generally better-than-average tastes in things, tended to avoid.

I'm not trying to judge or feel superior. I was just genuinely surprised to see such enthusiasm here for these goofy movies.

In that case you must have missed the multi-page thread on Jersey Shore as well.

The best time to use Han was in the last movie. Right now the only non-awkward way to use him would be during maybe 15 minutes of the first half of the movie and maybe some scenes of Han and Toretto getting back in touch (via phone maybe) during the events of Tokyo Drift (a'la Infernal Affairs III).

I haven't seen 3 and 4, but only because I was waiting for a box set to come out, now I guess I am going to have to wait a few years more.

I'm in

Be honest, after they greenlit the last film you were praying it would do well so they would make a 5th installment, just so you could break that out.

From PWInsider.com:

DeadlineHollywood.com, the top entertainment website, is reporting that Dwayne Johnson may be joining the cast of the fifth Fast & The Furious film. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker returned to the franchise in the fourth film.

At least he isn't doing another kiddie flick...

I was interested before but if he's cast, that just took it up another notch...

Sweet. Now if they get Sam Jackson to be in this too maybe we can get the movie they teased us with during the beginning of the trailer for The Other Guys.

I dunno, I kinda like it.

The Rock? Hell yeah.

Does the Rock fit in normal size cars?

Awesome. And anything to get Rock back in action movies.

Dwayne Johnson needs to do a serious action movie for a change and I'm all for him joining this movie. Enough of the Disney/Stupid kid flicks or the comedy-action flicks. I think if he wants to be taken seriously by his fans as a movie star, he needs a few straight forward action flicks with no goofy sidekicks or whatever.

That would be awesome if The Rock was cast. This series is a guilty pleasure of mine. While the first film was great the rest of the sequels have been goofy fun. They really need to work on their titles though.
