Welcome back, everybody, to Caravan of Garbage where we're zooming our way, zip zap zoom Mason
through the fast and furious
French saga
We're driving Mr. Sunday off a cliff
Oh no! Yeah, I'm afraid so
Is this it? Maybe. In terms of quality
or like is this the last video? What do you mean?
I mean literally, get in the car. Here we go
Leave a like everybody I'm getting in the car. Here we go.
Leave a like, everybody.
I'm getting in the car. We go to the 12 Apostles, famous Australian landmark we're driving off into.
Most of them have fallen into the water, Mason.
Perfect time, then, you ask me.
You're probably right.
What's interesting and I feel like deceptive about Furious 6?
Would you say what it's called?
Well, it was marketed as such, but it's technically called Fast and Furious 6.
Okay.
Yeah.
We'll turn the Furious up to 6.
Whoa.
And they're like, isn't there more to go on that?
Oh, no, this is a special dial.
It goes to 6.
6 is the maximum.
I feel like this one is deceptive
because it starts out like it's going to be bad.
Like it's got that recap of what happens
and then there's like nine of them walking towards the camera.
Yeah, incredible. It's like, I don't think, is this a's nine of them walking towards the camera. Yeah, incredible.
It's like, is this a bad one?
Turns out it's a pretty good one.
It's pretty all right.
It's okay.
It's not their best work.
This is Ben who's editing this.
This is his favorite one.
Interesting.
I think five is better than this,
but there's a lot of good stuff here, which we will get to.
This, I think, though, is the inception, the beginning of,
because the last one was obviously the first big heist movie.
Yeah.
This one is the beginning of, hey, we've got to get a thing.
It's in a briefcase.
Yeah.
It's a chip that can do a thing.
It's going to take down something or someone.
It can control all the things or hack all the things.
I think it's a virus of the mind.
You think?
Or of the moon.
Oh, you think the woke mind virus was in the case?
That's right.
Oh, my God.
Can't let it get out.
Yeah, well.
Which is not my favourite genre of things.
Again, when it's like, oh, my God, it could affect the whole world.
I don't care anymore.
Yeah.
You know?
That's going to take down the banks, is it, or whatever?
Yeah.
Okay.
There'll be no internet for a bit.
All right.
Can we still drive our regular gas-powered cars?
Yes. Why would it matter to us then? Okay. There'll be no internet for a bit. All right. Can we still drive our regular gas-powered cars?
Yes.
Why would it matter to us then?
Take down all the databases that have us on them and enable people to track us down like the authorities.
Great.
Don't care.
Don't care at all.
I feel like this one's got themes, Mason.
Go on.
It's about love.
Yeah.
It's got short.
Yeah.
That's obviously the base level, but then beyond that,
we've got love.
There's a solid bedrock of family, and then on top of that,
how do you feel about your family?
Love.
That's right.
We've got love, and we've got moving on, but not too much.
And I say moving on because we say goodbye to Leo and Santos.
They're just like, I don't know, they run a, I don't know,
they run like a balloon animal stall.
Who cares?
It doesn't matter.
Okay, right.
Paul Walker's having a baby.
He's moving on. Love and fatherhood. He's matter. Okay, right. Paul Walker's having a baby. He's moving on.
Love and fatherhood.
He's had a baby.
Yeah.
He's not having a baby.
No, he's not having the baby.
And then, of course,
we've got Vin Diesel
who's found love
for now
because he's about
to find another love.
You know what I like about all these...
He's old love mason,
Michelle Rodriguez.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I like
about all these videos?
We're just using all the character
and actor names
completely interchangeable.
It's Vin and Brian.
Vin and Brian are best
friends
yep
so Letty's alive
it would be funny
yes
if Hobbs had just
photoshopped those
pictures of Letty
and then as soon as
Vin Diesel got
you know on American
soil he just went
yeah you're under
arrest that was a trick
I told you I was
going to give you
some time to escape
and then I was going
to come after you
and that time has
lapsed hence you are going to prison and then I was going to come after you and that time has lapsed.
Hence, you are going to prison.
I realised I couldn't defeat you in a car-based manner
because you're the best there
and I couldn't defeat you in a contractual-based way
because we have to give each other equal number of punches.
So I thought I'd defeat you in a way you cannot.
You got no game in this.
No, absolutely not.
Oh, I've written here.
It's a tech bomb.
I wrote that down as I was watching it because I knew I would forget.
But now that I read that, I don't know what that means.
Right?
Yeah.
Just a MacGuffin.
Just a MacGuffin, yeah.
Ooh, you know what's interesting about this?
What's that?
There's a Bizarro Fast and Furious team.
Of a sort, sure.
They're British.
There's Bizarro Vin Diesel, Vin Crumpet, Vin London Bridge.
What have we got?
Vin London Eye, Vin Helen Miriam.
No, she's in these later.
Vin Vimto, which is a type of drink.
Okay.
Vin Greggs.
The shop.
Yeah, the shop. The shop, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vin Greggs. The shop. Yeah, the shop.
The shop, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Vin Clapham Junction.
Sure.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Also, there's a bad guy that's bigger than The Rock
who just looks like a visual effect.
He does.
He fascinates me, that guy.
Enormous man.
Yeah.
He should be fighting Spider-Man.
I don't know what he's doing in these movies, Mason.
Yeah.
But you know what I do like about this Bizarro Fast and Furious team?
Go on.
They bring some stuff.
They bring some tech.
They've got a race car that's also a ramp.
Even Brian gets out-carred.
That's right.
And there's a moment where Hobbs has to bring in the family.
He has to bring in the Fast and Furious team.
He doesn't want to.
Because he's like, you guys are the only match for these guys.
And they put their brains trussed together and they're like they must have got made those cars
in a custom shop oh you reckon those weird mad max jalopies that got spring-loaded ramps on them
they didn't buy those at the local bloody the bloody bloody greg's the scoda dealership or
whatever is that you reckon is that your expert opinion you guys yeah cool yeah nice that's my
opinion also so yeah i thought a similar, nice. That's my opinion also.
Okay, that's great.
I thought a similar thing, yeah.
It's interesting because they also talk about that like they don't do it all the time.
Like all your shit is made for purpose.
That's true.
You know?
Also, the evil team, the British team.
Yeah.
It goes without saying, they're the evil team, obviously, if they're the British team.
But they're very smart and skilled in a lot of ways.
But on another level, dumbest villains that these guys have ever faced i'd like to i'd like
to you to give me at least one example here's one example uh they brought letty on the team
yeah uh she's not british that's a big mistake big mistake yeah she's as american as apple pie and um
that car that john cena yep there you go those two things yeah that's right uh and
uh she's got no memory obviously because of the thing that happened that i have no memory of and
uh but then photosurfers of her with vin diesel and they're just like yeah let's keep her on the
team anyway yeah it's probably fine probably nothing what's the worst that could happen
the thing that happens come on Evans, come on, man.
Yeah, come on, Luke Evans.
What are you doing?
I also enjoy, I thought there was going to be a moment, you know,
where it kind of happened, but it's just this movie
where Tyrese turns to, like, the joke, fun, butt of jokes character.
It's just this entire movie.
The whole thing is just, like, people making fun of him,
how cheap he is, his penis, his big forehead.
These are all things that they just pile on at this point.
Maybe he was a cool guy.
They bring him into a room and they do an intervention on him.
A you're not a cool guy intervention.
They bring out the big notepad and they're like, listen,
your penis, your big forehead.
Your cheapness.
You're very cheap.
Yeah.
Stupid.
Yeah.
The only guy I think who's...
Do you have anything to add, Roman?
Anything?
You added this list?
We'll put it on the list.
We've got room.
We've got room and we've got time.
In many ways, maybe he decides to lean into it from this movie forwards.
He's like, I'll show you how stupid I can be.
I'll show you how big my forehead can be.
I'll show you my weird penis.
The only guy who gets more of a bad rap is the stuffy British guy
who they make undress in front of them.
Well, I mean, I've got a list.
Look at him with his disgusting normal body.
James, I'm building a list, of course, of guys in these movies
that might come back in a subsequent movie for revenge or to join the team.
Of course.
So obviously it's the snooty Brit running the classic car sale
who has to waddle away in his underpants, and maybe in 11 he's going to show up and be running the classic car sale who has to waddle away in his underpants.
And maybe in 11 he's going to show up and be like,
remember that time you made me waddle away in my underpants?
I respect that.
I'm on the team.
I can bring snootiness.
He's still nude.
He just waddles up.
I actually grew to love this.
There's a scene on like a Miami beach where, you know,
where all the girls are always dancing on the cars.
He's there.
Waddling.
Not dancing.
Just waddling around the car.
Just as pasty as you like.
Beautiful, I love it.
Here's something else I love in this.
I think the fight scenes are really good.
Gina Carano has a great couple of fight scenes with Michelle Rodriguez.
There's one moment where she basically just gives her a pair of brass knuckles
in the form of a handcuff.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, and I enjoy all of that.
There's some great hand-to-hand stuff in this,
including when Han and Roman just get beat up.
That's right.
That's great.
That's what these films are missing,
just some guys getting beaten up.
Yeah.
Like, remember in 2 when Roman and...
They stomp that guy, yeah.
Yeah, they just beat him up.
But there's also the moment where Brian and Roman,
they crash their car into the boat and they're like,
Jesus, this is a bad idea.
I'm in so much pain right now.
There needs to be more of that.
You're right.
That leans more into like the diehard sensibility of it.
Yeah, exactly.
Guys who maybe aren't the best at everything,
but they're trying their little hearts out, you know?
The violence in this is now completely consequence free.
Like somebody can die in one of these movies
or even die in real life
and then still appear in these movies.
Like, it's got to that point where it's that, like,
somehow Palpatine has returned,
but for literally anybody who's ever been associated
with these movies.
There is some really good action stuff.
Like, the tank bit, that's great.
Busting a real tank out of a truck, like, most of that is practical. There is some really good action stuff, like the tank bit. That's great. Busting a real tank out of a truck, like most of that is practical.
There is some CGI elements.
But then I think the turning point where nobody's skin comes off
when they crash or dive out of a car is when Dom catches Letty.
Uh-huh.
On the bonnet of a car.
Yeah, it is like, how did you know that car would be there to break my fall?
To break your fall.
Family.
And also I have car detective vision, if you recall.
I could sense it coming.
It's just a different kind of movie now, you know?
I had my brain connected directly to every traffic camera
and traffic signal in the world.
I feel them all at once.
He's like Superman.
You know the scene where Superman flies up into orbit
and he can hear
all the people's cries
for help?
It's that,
but you can hear
all like green lights
and stuff.
Oh, that's fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah,
that's really cool.
Sometimes he wakes up
and I know he's
boop, boop, boop, boop,
boop, boop, boop, boop,
pedestrian crossing.
Right, yeah.
Hobbes leaps
out of his car
down like 40 feet
onto the top
of another car
and you hear him go
oof when he lands
but he's fine.
There's a moment towards the start of this movie where Hobbs wants
to interrogate a member of Luke Evans' team.
And normally, like, you know, when a crooked cop, which is what he is,
like wants to cover up like a rough interrogation.
You hit him with a phone book, right?
You hit him with a phone book.
But in this, he's like throwing him through the roof
and breaking all the windows.
How are you going to cover that up, Hobbs?
It was like this.
I went in here and it was like this already.
Classic British police station.
It was just like this.
Typical Brits.
Braga is back.
I've got that note here.
Because we were like, when's Braga come back?
He's in this.
He's a real bitch, by the way.
He's a bad guy. But he's here, isn't he, for a minute to were like, when's Braga come back? He's in this. He's a real bitch, by the way. He's a bad guy.
But he's here, isn't he, for a minute to be like,
you have lady memory problems or whatever.
Brian's like, yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, yeah.
Also returns Brian's ex-DEA partner.
He's always like,
Oh, yeah.
You're giving me trouble, O'Connor.
And he punches him in the face for no reason or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
He's earned that, I reckon.
Yeah, I think so too.
How do you feel about the way that Vin Diesel tries to court Michelle Rodriguez
by doing like a magical car race together?
He's like, this is going to work.
Or they've got matching swimming through a reef scars,
like in the exact same spot.
Why?
I think that was probably a spear gun sort of malfunction.
Oh, like Brad Pitt's character?
Yeah.
When he killed his wife in that movie?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I reckon Vin was probably just showing off his fresh new spear gun
and he speared them both at the same time.
Yeah, you might be right.
They had to waddle their way to an emergency apartment
while nailed together.
To answer your question, I think it's beautiful.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
What about the Nossling gun?
Yeah, it's cool.
It's all cool.
Yeah?
Why do you need Noss to fire a grappling hook, though?
What about that is better than a regular grappling hook?
I think that's a question for Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Let's ask him on Twitter.
Let's not engage him.
Let's ask him on Twitter.
No, he's really pedantic.
We can ask Dr. Carl.
Find on the car.
Australia's Neil deGrasse Tyson, but he's nicer.
God, Neil deGrasse Tyson, he'll's nicer. God, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
He'll ruin it, Mason.
He'll say something and he'll just ruin everything.
You know?
That's how he does it.
I do.
We don't need that negative energy in this review.
No, we certainly don't.
This is all beautiful.
Yep.
And the spear gun accident was beautiful.
It was.
And the race was beautiful.
And this weird grappling hook gun is beautiful.
It's all beautiful.
The moment at about an hour 23 and when Hobbs just doesn't have his beard at one point because it's clearly a reshoot. That is beautiful. It's all beautiful. The moment at about an hour 23
and when Hobbs just doesn't have his beard at one point
because it's clearly a reshoot.
That's beautiful.
The moment at one hour and 41 minutes
where Dom Toretto's just a human torpedo.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
Do you remember that?
Just goes, he just propels himself through the air like a torpedo
and just headbutts a man.
Incredible.
Just beautiful.
Like the world's slickest and baldest dolphin.
Oh my God. Even more slick and more bald than a regular dolphin, basically. Incredible. Just beautiful. Like the world's slickest and baldest dolphin. Oh my God.
Even more slick and more bald than a regular dolphin, basically.
That's right.
Look at him go.
Well, speaking of that finale,
I mean, I think that is clearly the best part of this movie.
Are you sure it's not the part where it was Shaw's plan
to get captured the whole time?
Because The Dark Knight came out a couple of years before.
I forgot that The Dark Knight came out before this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like, well, it was my plan all the time,
so I'd get in here and get that chip.
That's my plan all the time.
That's right.
That's always my plan.
That's always my plan, just get in here, walk out with a chip.
Remember The Dark Knight?
Yeah.
I was inspired by the movie The Dark Knight.
Yeah.
I got caught shoplifting by security at Kmart,
and they've got me.
Greg's place.
Greg, sorry.
And I'm out in the back, but this was my plan.
That's right.
Because I wanted to raid the work fridge.
That's right. I I wanted to raid the work fridge. That's right.
I'm always getting caught.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up.

Uh, yeah, but the finale takes place on the world's longest runway. That is very good.
I mean, somebody calculated the distance of the runway?
Probably.
Let's ask Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Technically.
Hey, shut up.
Who are you telling to shut up?
You, Mason.
Oh, okay.
No, both you and your best mate, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Wow.
So there's a moment also when Vin Diesel is fighting two guys
and one is the giant guy.
Oh, yeah.
And The Rock appears like he's the T-Rex at the end of Jurassic Park.
Like he comes in from out of frame, but they just don't see him, even though he's, like,
right in front of them.
Yeah.
I enjoy that very much.
And we've definitely lost this, but Vin Diesel and The Rock teaming up to do a big punch-up.
That's good, man.
That's right.
They're a good dynamic duo.
I think this movie is missing just pair up different people.
Yeah. They seem to be locked into, like, okay, the hacker. Roman and Tej.
Roman and Tej have to like, just look
at the hacker girl all day. That's right.
And just be like, ugh. You want to say
something creepy? I'll say something creepy
first, then you can say something creepy.
You know what I mean? They're locked into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mix it up a little. Yeah.
I like the way they finish off that giant dude
with the, picks him up and
clotheslines him all that's a bit of fun that's good stuff it's also it's clear that like the
cracks are beginning to show with vin diesel and the rock because the last conversation they have
they're standing almost parallel to each other but not quite is that a sign i think it is mason
it's a sign that maybe they didn't even film it on the same day. I don't know what that is.
It's just very, it's a weird conversation.
They probably filmed next to a dummy of the other guy
and they insisted that the dummy was significantly shorter than they were.
So they're both looking down at each other's crotches.
You might be right.
To answer your question, James, maybe you could sub this in.
According to Wikipedia, calculations suggest that the runway
is somewhere between 18.37 miles and 28.83 miles.
Okay.
So that's pretty long.
That's as long as a standard runway, though, isn't it?
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
So, yeah, I take back what I said earlier.
That's a standard if this was in Britain at all.
Or equal to one fathom.
So here's some more people that could come back.
Oh, yes?
Han dies at the end of this movie.
And I feel like it's a very real possibility
that he's not really dead,
that he just wasn't in that car.
Maybe he was across the street.
I mean, that seems plausible.
I mean, you do see him in the car.
Yeah.
And he's looking very much the worse for wear.
He's pretty banged up.
Exactly like how you would look if you were in a car that gets hit by another car at speed
in an intersection and it flips it.
Yeah.
But you're suggesting that he could just...
He's not.
Okay.
Yeah.
Now, you're not like a movie-making professional.
Nah.
So what if we took those ideas and we gave them to millionaire writers?
Yeah, okay.
And filmmakers and we got them to come up with maybe a better idea yeah you reckon they could do that i think they probably could if they
thought about it a little bit you've thought about this for like half like two minutes yeah
thought about this i reckon given years yeah they could and millions of dollars as i mentioned they
could probably maybe take a long weekend and think about that be like he had a secret brother it was
a hologram he cut his way out through the floor like Nick Fury with that laser, whatever. You know, something.
You see him crawl out and he goes, not today.
He crawls away.
Rescued by Ninja Turtles.
Or what the British equivalent of Ninja Turtles
are. They're on holiday in Tokyo.
They're hero turtles.
Here's someone else that could come back.
In Japan, they're just called regular turtles.
Here's someone else that could come back.
Gina Carano.
Nah.
Don't you think there's a chance that she could come back, Mason?
I think there's zero chance.
Well, her and Gal Gadot both flew off into nothingness.
That's true, yeah.
So there's equal chances that they both could come back.
They don't even check for Gal's body.
No.
They should have because she's alive.
She's still alive.
She is alive.
They probably should have checked.
Have we seen any hints thus far
that she's going to come back
for 10 or 11?
Yeah, I think she was
at the lake door.
She said she's in it.
I don't know.
Okay, right, right, right.
I'll tell you this much.
I hope she's mad.
You didn't even check.
Yeah.
I mean, sure,
there was 28 miles of runway
to check.
That would have taken
most of the day.
What, you go and get Luke Evans
and you don't get me
ridiculous
alright
I love at the end
how Elsa Pataki
who's Vin Diesel's
girlfriend
until his other
girlfriend comes back
you know she's just like
well I guess I'm gonna
I'm pregnant
that's for later
but I'm gonna leave now
yeah
I hope she finds love
I mean she doesn't
because she dies
yeah yeah yeah
later
because you know
I hope she becomes sort of because you know i hope she becomes
sort of a you know a plot device that'd be cool i think if i think she'd appreciate that that
she seems like the she seems very utilitarian she seems very pragmatic i'll be whoever you want yeah
yeah what do you need you want me to die die i have a kid and i'll die how about that all right
just happen to be part of the team yeah absolutely i also feel like off the back of these last two to three to four movies
that Han has been in, imagine doing these movies
and the love of your life dies and you're jumping from car to plane
to Jeep and whatever.
And then you go to Tokyo because Fast and Furious 3 is set
after these movies.
And you just watch like a car drift around a car park.
You're just smirking and eating chips.
You know?
He's seen it all.
He's seen it all and he's quite zen about the whole thing, really.
This doesn't mean anything to me.
That's right.
Man, you know what?
You know what I'm loving about Japan?
It's just a simpler world.
I've got a flip phone.
It's like I've gone back in time nearly a decade.
Yeah, that's right. It's a slower pace and i like it yeah i also think and i know they resolve it later with letty's memories she's like i don't
remember anything but it feels like home i feel like she could just lie because i feel like her
memories anything outside of like having a barbecue and a car that's there's nothing else there
carbecue carbecue thank you that's an option for 10 or 11 if they're still filming.
You want to throw that in?
Yeah, do it.
I feel like they don't have any substantial memory.
So she could just be like, yeah, I remember the time we did a drag race
and then we had a family barbecue.
Yeah, sure, I remember that.
Yeah, I remember the time I bounced off the roof of a car.
There was a grappling hook involved, I think.
We stole some stuff.
Yeah.
We stopped a guy.
There was a chip.
There was a chip in a briefcase. And I think it could either hack every Yeah. We stopped a guy. There was a chip. There was a chip in a briefcase.
And I think it could either hack every computer or every car or something.
Yeah.
And they're like, story checks out, buddy.
God, thank God you're back.
Yeah.
Because we'd forgot most of that stuff as well, honestly.
Anyways, it's time for green light trivia.
What?
That's right.
Green light trivia, Mason.
Oh, because of cars?
Or is this a coincidence?
You just saw a green light on the way over here.
Maybe I'm bringing it back.
Maybe I'm going to step away from green trivia
and make more personalized trivias from now on, Mason.
That's incredible.
See how we go.
We're never going to leave out the guy who shouts Rodney.
And here he is.
So when Hobbs arrives at the barbecue,
Roman remarks,
better hide the baby oil,
to which Hobbs replies,
you better hide that big-ass forehead.
Hobbes' line was improvised by Dwayne Johnson,
so ludicrous spitting out his drink and Tyrese Gibson being at a loss for words
are both spontaneous, genuine reactions.
Now, I don't know if you've seen this, but The Rock is also bald.
Does The Rock think that he doesn't have a large forehead?
Does The Rock think he still has hair?
Is this an Emperor's New Clothes situation?
Has everybody told The Rock that he still has hair? And he an Emperor's New Clothes situation? Has everybody told The Rock that he still has hair?
And he's going around telling people, nice giant forehead, idiot.
Unlike me.
I've got the hair of Fabio.
Excuse me while I put my hair in a ponytail.
That's right.
No one distract him.
This takes like 20 minutes, but he'll get mad if you butt in.
He's plattened.
Sorry, what were you going to say?
Tyrese Gibson was like, I can't believe The Rock's doing like a
spin off movie or whatever this is supposed to be family
and The Rock came out this is in real life
and reviewed Tyrese's
latest rap album
and it is like you don't often
hear The Rock just say something
incredibly mean spirited
but here it is
now this is actually
originally conceived as two movies.
Oh, yes.
The first one ending with the conclusion of the tank scene
and then the second ending with the plane.
I'm glad they put those together.
I feel the second movie would be quite short.
Yeah.
You know?
Exactly.
Because they'd do the tank thing
and then next movie would be like 20 minutes
and then a...
Scraping people off the runway.
Maybe they'd do an extended barbecue scene.
Oh, okay.
You know, it fills in the next 90 minutes or something.
Did you get ice?
Oh, I didn't get ice.
Okay, do you want to get, we'll go, do you come with me?
We'll go get ice.
Should we walk?
No, let's take the car.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'm actually, honestly, I'm a little bit tired of driving a car.
Yeah.
Well, you know, we don't build walkable cities.
So, you know, we're driving.
I don't want to take the car.
Oh, God, how much is parking?
Damn.
So during the exchange between Hobbs and Roman at the barbecue,
you see a bottle of Conjure cognac on the table.
Okay.
Whose cognac company is that?
Exactly.
It's Ludacris.
Okay.
It's Ludacris'.
Does everybody in this movie have an alcohol brand or company?
Maybe.
Yeah.
Does everybody in Hollywood?
Everybody in Hollywood has an alcohol brand.
Hey, listen, everybody. We don't want your gin. company maybe yeah does everybody in hollywood everybody hollywood has an alcohol brand hey
listen everybody we don't want your gin we don't want any of your fucking bourbon or your specialized
craft no no james no no enough we don't want i said i'm i'm putting a stop to it stop doing it
james we don't want to pay for it if they could send it to us i'll take an aviation gin i'll take
whatever cognac the thing you said i just i'm sick of it mason also I'll take an aviation gin. I'll take a whatever cognac the thing you said. I just,
I'm sick of it Mason.
Also we'll take
Think of something
specific to you.
We'll take a sports team
as well.
You all got your own
sports teams now.
We'll take one.
Here's a question.
This isn't a piece of trivia
but it's just a question.
Sure.
Right at the start of the movie
did Tej install a leaf blower
in that ATM?
That's not how money
comes out of an ATM.
Nah, I've seen movies.
That's not how it works. It sort of just drops in a little thing and you take it out. It's not how money comes out of an ATM. Nah, I've seen movies. That's not how it works.
It sort of just drops in a little thing and you take it out.
Yeah.
It's not like, although what a fun world that would be.
Yeah.
If that's how ATMs worked.
Also, it's blown out for like 90 seconds.
How much money's in that thing?
90 seconds worth of money.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's how you load them, by the second.
So this is fun.
When Lady is with Dom, Brian and the crew.
Do you mean romantically? I wish. When Lady is with Dom, Brian and the crew. Do you mean romantically?
I wish.
When Letty is with Dom, Brian and the crew towards the end of the film,
Brian approaches Letty to apologise for getting her involved with Braga
and Letty saying, I may not remember anything, but I know one thing.
Nobody makes me do anything I don't want.
Now this is apparently the first time in the Fast and Furious series
that Brian and Letty talk to each other directly.
I know you thought this was going to be a Blue Harvest thing,
but it's not.
Wow.
This is what I'm talking about with pairing.
Why the fuck haven't these two people had any kind of interaction?
Crazy.
Crazy.
Let's team them up.
Let's mix it up, man.
I mean, it's too late now.
Remember when Iron Man went to space with Doctor Strange
and everyone went, those guys have similar beards,
but they're different.
Everyone wants their minds maced.
That's right.
God. They're both catty in different ways, those guys have similar beards, but they're different. Everyone looks at them, mine's Mason. That's right. God.
They're both catty in different ways, those two.
But apparently now these movies are set up like Vin Diesel only works
with like Michelle Rodriguez and maybe another person.
They're all doing little separate adventures.
It's boring.
But that's not a writer's thing.
That's a certain stars do not play with other stars thing, it seems.
So what can you do?
I feel like a lot of my criticisms for this movie is also like, yeah, this one's good,
but these are my problems in general with movies that come after this movie.
I do like this one.
I think it's one of the good ones.
And speaking of Mason.
Go on.
The box office for this.
The budget is apparently between $160 and $260 million.
I'm presuming that includes marketing.
But the box office return, I thought this one made a billion
but it didn't. It made $788 million.
For sure. Which is, I mean it came out
you know, 2013.
Hobbs and Shaw. A real decade for sure.
And of course this is the
first appearance of
Deckard Shaw. Yeah. He's gonna
bloody be a real
thorn in their side for a minute.
And just to be clear, he's the same height as everybody else in these movies.
That's right.
I don't know what anybody else has been saying about him,
but he's the same height as everybody, Mason.
And he has a ponytail.
Everybody remember that.
That's right.
Everybody in these movies has a beautiful ponytail.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
All right.
Next week, we're going to wrap up
just these films
that we've been looking at.
Yes.
With Furious 7
if that's what it's called.
I feel like that is really
a definitive end to it.
Seven fasts
for seven furiouses.
Fury-I.
