UbD must see: Fast & Furious 6

Friday saw the release of Fast and Furious 6, the latest offering from the Fast and the Furious series, and it's got most of us here in the studio pretty excited, especially since we found out Vin Diesel does a lot of the stunts himself!




Most of us were still in school when the first film, 'The Fast and The Furious', was released in 2001. Since then the series has provided us with over a decade of action, consisting of 6 full length movies, a couple of spin off short films, AND the promise of Fast & Furious 7 to be released next year! We're already looking forward to it, and we haven't even seen number 6 yet!

Just as we have grown up, the Fast and the Furious films have somewhat switched their focus to move with the times. The earlier films touched on the culture of street racing which, although illegal, was a way of life that racers could not live without. Car customisation also played a large part, and was portrayed as an art-form, highlighting that to earn credibility in this culture, it is important to produce something beautiful, as well as engineer something high performance. This is something that applies in our industry as well! Now, from the later films, we expect fast-paced crime-packed action thrillers, and by the looks of the trailer, Fast & Furious 6 is not going to disappoint. We're organising a cinema trip ASAP!

Have you managed to see Fast & Furious 6 yet? Or are you heading out to see it soon? Let us know what you think.
