make sure they're fast

Can we talk about how Fast and Furious 6 makes something like... four Avengers references at least? I counted (while watching for the first time and being mostly distracted by the shiny

You mean the part where they finally roped Tokyo Drift back into the timeline? Or one of the other weirdnesses from the ending of this movie? I was overall gleeful to watch it, but ..... *cocks head*

Yeah, gonna write some fic from this movie after I find time to see it again.

I was happy to see them finally getting to Tokyo Drift! Sad to see Giselle and Han go die :( But waiting for it to happen was getting a little bit annoying, as much as I loved the two of them, you know what I mean? I love the idea of those guys going for revenge...

That's what I was hoping for. :)

Seriously, when my sister said they were roping the timeline back in, I was like, "So we get to see that Han really got out of the car after all, right?" and she got shifty-eyed and then the last scene happened and I am not okay with that. At all.

In a slightly related note, has Jason Statham ever played a bad guy? I want to say in a Guy Richie movie but everyone is a bad guy in his movies to one degree or another...

Counter question: Has he ever played a straight up good guy?

And yes, he played a dirty cop in War. Although, here too, grey, not black.

A straight up good guy? Actually yes :) The Uwe Boll movie, In The Name Of The King.

Other than that... not as far as I know.

Y'know, Tokyo Drift is the one F&F movie I've never seen. Maybe I should correct that.

It was horrible. Tokyo Drift I mean. The only reason to watch it has always been Han, who just owns everyone and everything.

I've spent years being in denial about Han. I boycotted Tokyo Drift and my logic was, "If I didn't see it, then it didn't happen, Han's fiiiiiiiiiine." And then the latest movie happened and I had to acknowledge it and watch Tokyo Drift (good Lord, as I said above, that was awful - Han was the only good part about it for me) in case there was something important that happened in there that I needed to know about (ha!) and then I put in 2 Fast 2 Furious so that I could forget what I'd just watched.

But, yes, I loved all the references! I had to grin at the image of them going to theaters to watch The Avengers. Hee!

The Samoan Thor especially cracked me up. I have a mental picture of movie night at Brian and Mia's. The whole clan sitting around, munching popcorn and dissing the action scenes.
