Fast and the Furious 9: The Fast Saga

Cardi B’s Cameo in F9, Explained

That cameo was dumb as hell. And we were supposed to know she was related to a character we haven't seen since the 4th one?

That didn't add anything at all. I didn't even understand a word she said either.

 

[flickchick85]

I will bet everyone in this forum an expensive steak dinner that they bring Gal Gadot back in one of the last two.

A literally leaned over and said to my friend as soon as they showed her in flashback, "she's coming back to life next." And he was just like "absolutely."

 

[kguillou]

I actually was CERTAIN she was gonna be the post credit stinger.

 

[Drizzle]

If we're being honest, Gisele's death was way more ambiguous than Han's so if they wanted to bring her back at this point, whatever.

 

[kguillou]

Did anyone else just feel like they just didnt give a fig about the plot or anything happening on screen though? I mean, look, ALL of the Fast movies have pretty dumb scripts but most of them succeeded in making me care about the characters and invested in their missions. This is the first movie where i just did not give a damn about whatever was going on.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Different writer?

Chris Morgan wrote 3-8 (and Hobbs and Shaw). Maybe losing him was the wrong time lol

 

[Da-Scribe]

The thing that really got me about this flick is that the entire emotional core of it hinges on the idea that

Spoiler

Dom thinks Jakob killed their dad. And I don't know if there's ever been a more difficult point in this entire franchise where I had to suspend disbelief (and that's saying a ****ing lot).

Young Rico, I think, literally explains to him that the trick with the car is used to throw races. So the fact that Dom immediately assumes his little brother murdered their dad for no particular reason...and then holds onto that belief for decades just completely undercuts all that bull**** about "family."

Just one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, even for a franchise that catches people falling from great heights onto moving vehicles.

I mean if Owen Shaw can survive being thrown out of the plane, why can’t Gisele? Of course, wouldn’t explain where she’s been this whole time but that hasn’t stopped them before.

I'm from England and all the number plates are completely invalid as in the wrong format:

I wasn't really paying attention to the casting back when this was in pre-production but I was pleasantly surprised to see

Spoiler

Shea Whigham appear... and Michael Rooker too which felt like a nice little Days of Thunder nod.

Spoiler

Shea Whigham hive!!

And yeah I completely forgot Michael Rooker was cast

Ah yes, the only thing wrong in the whole movie.

That's just the creators showing they are in an alternate universe setting them up to appear in the MCU and FLASHPOINT.

Helen Mirren Would Love to Kiss Vin Diesel in 'Fast 10'... on One Condition

I do love that such a distinguished actress like Mirren is at that stage in her career where she just wants to have fun and do these trashy blockbusters.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Vin Diesel likes his Dames. Judi Dench in Riddick. Mirren in this. I assume Maggie Smith will show up in the next xXx.

 

[Lencho01]

I know I’d laugh if they went with the idea that everything after the first film was a dream because Dom actually crashed at the end and ended up in a coma.

Yep… after this and previously, Hobbs & Shaw, this is how I’m viewing the franchise going forward.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Still one hot African-American.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Is this available on any streaming platforms? I want to see this (out of morbid curiosity mostly) but I’m not risking catching the Delta variant for this ****.

The next one better be called Fast 10 Your Seatbelts.

Nope theaters only. If you’re vaccinated you should be ok. Luckily my theater automatically blocks off the seats to either side of you when you get a ticket.

Yeah, I’m vaccinated but this latest variant has me concerned enough that I’m only going to a theater to see something that I almost KNOW will be good (Hello, Green Knight).

I didn't care either.

I basically just watched it because I've seen the previous movies.

I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers but one thing I need to know. How do they explain Mia coming back but Brian being absent?

Pretty easy although there is one thing about it that made me laugh.

Since it’s Dom’s brother, it’s also Mia’s so it’s a family thing.
