Also, is Dom suppose to be mexican/latino in these films? I never understood why he would say that in spanish. Lawd.

He's supposed to be Italian, isn't he? His last name is Toretto. He could have said it in Italian, but if he said it in Spanish I guess it was because they were in Brazil.

Isn't that translated differently in Portuguese though?
 
Does it matter that he says it in spanish? I know americans that mix some spanish into their english. Its probably not uncommon in areas with larger populations of spanish immigrants, and where Toretto lived has a large number of spanish speaking immigrants.

Germans do a similar thing with english. Mixing English into their speech creaing whats known as denglisch.
 
Vin said something way back at the start of the production about the Toretto family having Cuban roots.
 
Cuban? That's an odd choice. I find it interesting that despite starting in Los Angeles none of the main characters are of Mexican descent. Although Letty could hypothetically be Mexican since her Latino roots are ambiguous. Everyone I know calls her the "Mexican chick/girl".
 
I always assumed that they were meant to have Latin/Hispanic routes myself. I mean Jordana Brewster (who's mother is from Brazil, was born in Panama, and who frequently plays those types of roles) is playing his sister, and Michelle Rodriguez plays his GF/wife.
 
Its funny how this film pretty much has the whole month of April to itself while March and May 2017 are packed. Respect.
 
The live event on Sunday starts at 4:40PM PT / 7:40PM ET. I'm gonna guess it's 20 minutes of interviews and such followed by the trailer debut at... 8:00!... Which I am totally ok with.:o
 
Yeah Toreretto is not Italian. I figured it was closer to Hispanic.
 
Oh now they're just being silly. :o
 
Should have been 8te of the Furious. Or what Blackman said.
 
You don't think they'll change it to F8? I put money on that happening.
 
F8 >>>> whatever nonsense the new title is

And why does this trailer have like 3 teasers for it, just show it already
 
The series has always been over the top and silly (in a very fun way) but this right here..this is laugh out loud funny.

Last time the title had more than 4 words we got The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Didn't work out so well
 
Who cares? Everyone will call it Fast 8 or Furious 8.
 
The shot of the snowmobile jumping over the very fake looking ice is giving me Die Another Day like vibe. I really hope it's far from that sequence.
