Must Watch: Highly Energetic New Fast and Furious Trailer

Universal has debuted a full theatrical trailer for the upcoming Fast & Furious. We've already seen a rather impressive teaser for this, so I'm excited to see that they've continued to step things up yet again. I really love their marketing style - showing us nearly a full action scene. It really gets me pupped up and excited to see more and that's all that Fast & Furious is about. I really think they might've pulled off a damn successful reboot of this Fast and the Furious franchise. Plus it's great seeing all the actors back again and it just looks downright entertaining. I like a little guilty pleasure every once in a while!
Watch the second full trailer for Fast and Furious:

Fast and Furious is directed by up-and-coming Taiwanese filmmaker Justin Lin, of Better Luck Tomorrow, Annapolis, and of course, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The screenplay was written by Chris Morgan, of Cellular, Tokyo Drift, and Wanted. Fast and Furious races into theaters on April 3rd.

This is a wonderfully cut trailer. But the use of the Soulja Boy song and the previous films in the series say otherwise.

A. How is working as a director for 7 years on crap (except Better Luck Tomorrow) big budget hollywood junk up and coming? B. How is this a guilty pleasure over other low rent teenager fare like Wanted, Street Fighter, and the Transporter? C. I can't believe you're calling this a reboot. It's another cheap cash in sequel on a series of movies that were nothing but cheap cash ins. D. Alex, your similarity to http://www.theonion.com/content/node/37332 is astounding.

I like how Sung Kang's character is named Han, just like in Better Luck Tomorrow. And I gotta say, that chase scene...awesome.

I agree Diesel is just not a good actor!! But as it has been said mindless fun seem to be right his ally.

#9 Bravo, bravo 😀 The Soulja Boy song by itself is going to leave a bad after taste no matter how "good" the film is; hopefully they don't actually put it in. And no this does not even seem like a reboot, the trailer itself seems pretty campy and the over the top action is pretty ridiculous; a flaming truck over Diesels car? lmfao thats the best they can think of....I really hope that it follows the path of the first film, i really really really really really really really hope.

Why.. why... why...... why...... why god oh why soulja boy.... what the fucking hell is wrong with you ass hole hollywood movie makers.. why the fuck soulja boy.. why... please god tell me why.. Thank GOD they ATLEAST went with Travis Barker's remix version.

thank u 26, agreed, soulja boy, come on! could have picked a better song. and that ending, sad, so obviously fake it's not even funny. i'll watch it on dvd.

Everybody who doesn't like Vin Diesel needs to watch "Find me Guilty" the movie about the longest trial in history, and a mafioso who defended himself in cour and won getting all the defendants a not guilty verdict! Diesel did a superb job as Giacomo "Jackie" DiNorscio, he gained weight and spent three hours becoming this character.

They should have just left it at the first trailer or cut this one short. It just likes the same old lame acting, cgi crap from the second one now. Anything with Paul Walker = fail besides Running Scared.

FUCKING AWESOME TRAILER! Looks way...............better than Tokyo Drift. But WTF would anyone want souja boy for a movie trailer? Souja Boy licks Balls!
LC on Jan 14, 2009

I was also wondering how this is considered a reboot, I thought reboot was a retelling or re-imagining of the original, this isn't, this is expanding on the original, I guess its the first true sequel since everyone's back, but I don't think its considered a reboot, unless reboot really means just actually making a squeal that's good enough to revitalize the franchise.

um first trailer was wwwwaaaaayyyyy better...... it looks ok at best oh and everybody trashing soulja boy god damn it first everyone was jumping on the band wagon to love him and now it's this huge backlash i never liked him but im not on his cock like everyone else grow up people!!!!

that trailer made me lose all interest in it. damn that Soulja Boy

as a fan of the original, this looks really good, why did they move a movie like this to APRIL!?!?!

I hope they don't release this in theaters. The first trailer was pretty badass, but this one makes the movie look cheesy. The Soulja Boy song doesn't help either. The song, the attitude, all of it makes it seem like the film is trying too hard to be badass.....where the first trailer actually succeeded in doing so with at least some dignity. Perhaps I'm looking too much into the preview, but with a film like this the marketing is going to be kind of crucial, and this preview is trying too hard, and it comes across kinda lame.

looks great.

The fact that you, the writer, thinks this is going to be good almost makes me want to not come here anymore. Fast and the Furious has been the biggest joke for car enthusiasts since the furst trailer. It turned out too many idiots thinking they have something because they found "not a bad way to spend 20 grand..." *bangs head into wall* This movie has already been scheduled to release ealier because it sucks and it won't compete with summer blockbusters so let's cut the crap and go straight to DVD.

No offense but everytime I see a chase that is somewhat "parkour themed" I can't help but think of that scene from Casino Royale where Daniel Craig (James Bond) is chasing Sébastien Foucan (Mollaka)

I agree with rich, this shouldve been the sequel. I like seeing the old cast back. Maybe this will give vin diesel the boost he needs right about now
bigabe on Jan 14, 2009

Can Vin Diesel still sell a movie after BABYLON A.D.....Hummmmm I'm unsure, and soulja boy?.....Really soulja boy.....We're in for trouble if the movie soundtracks sounds like that....

didnt like any of the others and hate paul walker but i might see this, love me some michelle rodriguez. didnt see jordana brewster in the trailer but shes supposed to be in it

Please God let it die already.

How is this a Reboot. I think its just another chapter in the life of someone who drives fast cars. No way this is a reboot. Has someone from the studio said that its a reboot? Come on Alex let me know.
AllmightyKeim on Jan 14, 2009

that openin chase felt like a rip off of casino royale. but it looks good though

I love how Alex gets so pumped over shit films like this. How much cash did the studio pump into this site?
Thomas on Jan 15, 2009

Okay, first of all. District B17 want's their opening chase back. Second of all, Soulja Boy should be illegal to put on trailers. And third of all, the last scene with the flying oil tanker made me scream "WHY?" No. No. NO. NO!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

soulja boy can eat my shit. out of all the shit that he has ever produced they picked the worst one. The trailer was pretty sweet tho.
Spunk Chops on Jan 15, 2009

So the new action gimmick is to have a trailer just keep spinning over and over! Why not, we had it in Die Hard 4 and Eagle Eye. It was like when a car would smash into the hero as he was driving another car and you would have the in-car shot. Before that it was something blowing up and flying towards the camera. Anyway, I'm there!

If there was one trailer that could deter me from watching a film, it was that one. They only copied every action sequence from the Bourne Movies, plus the car pyrotechnics from Death Race. And could Vin Diesel shove his head up his own ass any further? Answer: probably....
Boris Van Der Ree on Jan 15, 2009

@Rgr Dean, agreed. This is so sad. I guess the Diesel is in need of cash to pay the mortgage and gets some fan help in his career's resuscitation. Rodriguez for sure isn't going to bitch after being booted from LOST & is more so in need of help in getting out of sub-star purgatory, seriously if her acting wasn't horrible in LOST, BloodRayne?

I'm loving Vin Diesel as a 40-yr old ricer. Nice.

Why did they not release this in June?!?!?! this is like the perfect summer flick. normally i wouldn't complain that they moved it up, but y push it up to the worst possible month to put out a movie. i'm excited, just skeptical. And that soulja boy song is very very played out
LeeMan on Jan 15, 2009

soulja boy. wtf?

That final scene looks a little corny, but on the whole this looks like the Fast and Furious we all wanted with #3. I'm looking forward to it.

A reboot would be same title, new cast, new direction, trying to start over, relying on nothing that came before, hence reboot. Batman Begins is a reboot. Rob Zombie's Halloween is a reboot. The stars/studio needed a cheapy hit. Period.
Nick on Jan 15, 2009

Why in the FUCK did they have to play that song in it?
Tom on Jan 15, 2009
62
only thing i can say it looks good but why on gods green earth that they have 2 put that weak ass rapper soulja boy crank dat in there i mean i dont wanna be in the movie theatre hearin that
Walker on Jan 15, 2009

No offense to every soulja boy hater as I am one myself. But the song sort of suits the trailer.. not sure about the movie.
Alex on Jan 15, 2009

@#42 Jordana Brewster is in the trailer, look again... around 1:46 into the trailer, for a split second. Yeah, I'm bored!
Omega728 on Jan 15, 2009

the first part of the trailer is the best, the rest was just ok, why did they have to use that stupid ass soulja boy song
Richard on Jan 15, 2009
66
I wouldn't count on that Soulja Boy shit to actually make it in the movie. Just a hunch...

I've always enjoyed the fast & furious films. They had some great car chases and don't seem to take themselves too seriously. My fave would probably the 2nd as I thought the play between walker and tyrese was better than between walker and diesel. If you don't go in expecting Gandhi 2 : The Return then they deliver on what they are supposed to.

love the tagline "new model, original parts".

Is it me, or is Dom getting a BJ in a window at 1:11? I could swear Paul's character says "she's my friend too"? Apart from that, I'll gladly eat some more F&F cheese 🙂

Oh yes!! Sooooo excited. The only way they've been able to revive this franchise is my lovely Vin. 🙂
