The best and worst teasers for the epic action franchise
Remember when we could have nice things?
Back on Jan. 31, 2020 (we were all so naive, weren’t we?
), all eyes were on Miami for Super Bowl weekend.
12, 2023, ahead of the film’s May premiere.
You’re intrigued, but what is it?
And then, boom, Dom is revealed at the 1:15 mark!
You’re going to be running home to hop on your dial-up and get tickets on Fandango.
MVP:Whoever came up with the tagline, “New model, original parts.”
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Best line:“I got a problem with authority.”
MVP:Tyrese in a landslide.
This is how you make aFastintroduction!
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Best line:“Bad guy.”
Brixton (Idris Elba), being asked who he is.
Too bad they saved him declaring himself “Black Superman” for a future trailer.
MVP:Idris Elba.
You immediately walk away needing answers.
MVP:The submarine.
I repeat: They have a submarine.
Oh, did I mention it’s a nuclear submarine?
Sorry, also forget to say that it smashes through the ice like Jaws on steroids.
Yes, Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), you will need a bigger truck.
Furious 7 (2015)
Best line:“I don’t have friends, I got family.”
MVP:Paul Walker.
Twinkie (Bow Wow), both explaining and not explaining what drifting is.
What a time that was to be alive!
Bow Wow surely misses it.
Hobbs, arriving in Rio to hunt down Dom and Brian.
Most WTF moment:The tease of Johnson and Diesel beating the crap out of each other.
And the final product was even more brutal and badass than could have been expected.
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Best line:“Let’s go for a ride.”
Dom, convincing Brian and us to ride shotgun on this journey.
Most WTF moment:Ja Rulegetting promised a threesome if he wins a race.
I bet he regrets losing and turning down a bigger role in2 Fast.
MVP:The music.
Or, when is a movie not enhanced ten-fold by the inclusion of “I need your team”?
Or, the simple but effective, “Ride or die.”
Yeah, they do!!
F9 (2021)
Best line:“Jakob is…Dom’s brother.”
Letty, being really dramatic.
Most WTF moment:John Cenais playing Dom’s brother!
Dom has a brother!Helen Mirrenis behind the wheel!
Charlize got a new haircut!Jordana Brewstergets to fight!
Half ofLucas Blackshows up for two seconds!
Oh, only one?
Okay, then it’s definitely Han (Sung Kang) being alive.Justice is coming!
