How does this happen?

Seriously though, why is this series THIS popular? Is it really big in third world countries like China or something?

>>81966057
Honestly this. Somehow Fast and the Furious of all franchises ended up having one of the most diverse, globally appealing casts.
>>
>>81966057
>movies with leads of all races and both genders that appeal to dudebros and women alike is successful

But it is a piece of shit

I used to hate on the series until I watched the fifth movie. Give it a chance.
>>
>>81966057
This.
It's also very accessible
Said actors are all stars to some degree.
The franchise is very well established.
There's a lack of anything besides dogshit superhero movies to fill the family action blockbuster role
Heavy promotion + cultural zeitgeist

It's a perfect storm.

They're not that bad bro, just standard turn off your brain action flicks, which have always been wildly popular.

It might have something to do with now everyone who finds niggers appealing wants to see niggers acting like niggers and being rewarded for it.
>>
>>81966289
Probably not but I still say give Fast 5 a chance if you're at all a fan of 80s/90s style action flicks.

How does this series appeal to women? It always came across as the usual action movie aimed at guys. Keep in mind I've only watched up to the 4th movie, so I've definitely missed out on the big transformation into what it is now.

Genuine question, because my coworker was talking about how her 12 year old daughter wanted to go see it.

Combination of these two I think

>>81966020

A better question is how these "heroes" in the franchise survive. Every movie ends up with them traveling in a convoy of sports cars going...somewhere. How fucking hard is to hit them with a missile?

whats wrong niggers its pretty amazing movie with incredible cinematography and action.and solid story/twist and fun too,
Do you all nigs like shit marvel tier pictures/stupid quips and robot blowing up action

The fourth movie ended up being kind of a surprise hit. It definitely revived both Paul Walker and Vin Diesel's careers. Then they smartly changed up the formula starting with 5 and of course brought in Dwayne Johnson.

The best part of the series is how everything was retooled starting with 5. Ludacris went from side character that worked on cars to the team's elite hacker. Tyrese went from hardened tough guy to comic relief that just seems happy to be included.

Anon...Women like looking at sexy men just as much as guys like looking at sexy women. This movie has both.

Exactly. They dropped all pretense of realism and just started coming up with the most ridiculous action setpieces possible. Like I said, they're basically G.I. Joe now.

There aren't that many good movie stars left, and they put them all in the same goddamn movie. The movie doesn't even have to be decent. For some reason the Rock and cars will just get people to the theatre.
>>
>>81967176

There are two types of people that like cars. The ones that hang Ferrari posters on their walls and those that are in their garage changing out parts.

I have a strong suspicion these movies are popular because of the poster hangers.
>>

Well I don't think Russians would enjoy seeing Americans kill Russian military mercileslly and making them a joke for just doing their job. So it had a political agenda in that regard

do Chinese theaters play big movies like this dubbed or subbed?

Star wars nerds obsess over the spacecraft. Capeshit fans obsess over the Batmobile. It's all the same shit.

Do they explain how Han came back from the dead in this one? He dies at the end of tokyo drift and he's back in the fourth movie with no explanation. It's even retconned in the 7th movie, where they reuse the final scene from tokyo drift and apply it to Han's second "death"

This film appeals to the lowest instincts even more than capeshit

Every movie has taken what people enjoyed about the previous and ramped it up. Look at the first two which were pretty grounded basic car type movies and then look at the last two which have basically turned into a saturday morning car cartoon.

It no longer tries to be anything but a bunch of over the top insanity and while that is not for everyone it works for a lot of people that just want to sit back and enjoy something.
>>
>>81967176
Every morning I get in my car and turn it on my dick gets a little hard as I hear the rumble of 400 hp now at my will. In that momen-

Driving a muscle car is fun you faggot. The sound is fucking great. Being able to go fast is fun. If you don't like either of those things please return your Man Card.

>>81968352
The last few laps are pretty entertaining when people start trying to overtake more and take bigger risks. People will say they watch it for the crashes and some might, but the end of the race is intense. Maybe that's just me though. I can't remember which race it was but it was last year and I think it was the closest finish ever and it was fucking nuts.
>>
>>81966020
Already popular franchise
Multiple stars that are actual draws
Fairly consistent in pleasing fans

>why is this series THIS popular?

-Cast is a decent mix of races
-Cast is a decent mix of genders
-All characters come off as strong/fun characters (the strong ones get their funny moment and the funny ones get their strong moment).
-Movies take place all over the world. Especially in places that rarely get shown in western movies like Dubai or South/Central America.
-Movies never take themselves too seriously. They never really try and make some deep comment on society or a stance on politics. They just focus on universally agreed upon things like "family" and friendship.

Most movies are trying to be high art or go dark for no reason.
Fast and the Furious movies know that they are popcorn movies. And don't really go too far from that.
>>
>>81969621

None of these are the reason. It's called mindshare, where you can turn a turd into an icon.
>>
>>81969694
watch Fast 5.
If you like 5, you'll probably enjoy 6 and 7.
Then go back to 1-4 to understand the characters origins. Then watch 8.
8 isn't as good as 5, 6, or 7, but it's a decent middle of the road movie with a couple great scenes. And it relies heavily on being familiar with the franchise so I wouldn't go in without having seen at the least 5-7.

>It's called mindshare
There are lots of franchises that reach high numbers of sequels and bank on mindshare to keep getting more. But most of those franchises are diminishing returns. Fast/Furious franchise does well because they are constantly expanding their world out. They've had movies in California, Mexico, Brazil, Dubai, Japan, England. And in the new one they go to Cuba, Germany, Russia, New York. They make a solid effort to be an international Franchise, and people are responding positively to that.

They are good movies.
But Fast/Furious is not high art. And it doesn't try to be.
You don't go into a Fast/Furious movie expecting your ideas of reality to be challenged, or to be introduced to a new idea you never thought of. You go to see something cool. And both are entirely valid forms of entertainment.
