The Fast and the Furious, take three.

Oct 26, 2001 23:51

I spent my evening watching The Fast and the Furious on the big screen for the third time. And this time it was free, thanks to the Carolina Union Activities Board.

Now, a large part of why I wanted to see it for the third time was to check out a few things I wanted/needed to know about in order to write fic. With that in mind, I decided to finally put the Eminem notebook Molly sent me to good use, and I discovered that I can actually write legibly in the dark.

So, I give to you potentially useful observations from the movie. Spoilers within, of course.

--The market's full name is Toretto's Market & Cafe.

--Leon about Brian: "He's beautiful."
Jesse's response: "I like his haircut."

--Letty does indeed call Mia "girl." Leon and others call Vince "V." Jesse calls Dom "Dominic." At the race, Dom refers to Jesse as "the mad scientist," calls Letty "my trophy," and says, "My sister holds the money." Dom also calls Jesse "Einstein" and "Jess." Leon calls Vince "pumpkin."

--As the cops start showing up, Mia gets into Letty's car.

--At some point, probably at the party although I didn't write down when, Jesse stands behind Vince with his arms around him.

--At the garage, Mia argues with Dom about something in a file folder full of what could be invoices. It looks like she acts as an office manager.

--When Brian brings in the car to be rebuilt, Dom tells him that when he's not working at Harry's, he's working there. Mia then says, "He owns you now."

--One of the things Dom mentions in his list of things that don't matter is "the mortgage."

--Dom looks scared every time Brian drives.

--Mia says that Letty has been interested in cars "since she was like ten years old."

--When Brian races the guy in the Ferrari, the guy has a woman with him, and Brian has Dom. It makes a nice parallel.

--Letty's number at Race Wars is 207.

--Brian's serial number is 34762.

--As they're about to leave the last time, Mia says to Dom, "Don't give me that crap. You're doing this for you."

--After Dom kisses her, Letty presses her lips together.

--Dom's cell number is 323-555-6349.

--Vince gets shot in his left leg.

--Dom says to Brian, "I gotta find Jesse before they do. I'm all the kid's got."

--Brian describes Vince as being about 24 years of age.

--Dom presses his face into Jesse's shirt as Jesse's lying on the ground after being shot, and it looks like he's crying.

--Dom says, "I used to drag here in high school." It amuses me.

--Mia's books are inconclusive. They look more like Math or Chemistry or Biology books. They're large, wide books, and she always seems to be working out problems.
