Storyline

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

Crazy Credits

After the safety disclaimer following the film, it fades up on Han's final race from Tokyo Drift. However, we start seeing angles of it from inside a car, where a gloved hand is adjusting switches and preparing to move. As in Tokyo Drift, a Mercedes slams into Han's car, but it doesn't kill him outright; the driver of the Mercedes, an unnamed character played by 'Jason Statham' (qv), emerges from the car and throws a lighter at the gasoline leaking from Han's car, causing it to explode. He then makes a call, saying, "Dominic Toretto. You don't know me... but you're about to."

User Reviews

Amazingly faster and more furious than ever

From the first Fast & Furious these films has been a great success. At first OK and good entertainment, and undeniably a good idea. The second was a let down with too much sideways driving, but then things started happening again. The fifth outing Fast Five was surprisingly the best so far. It WAS fast & furious! The pace was excellent, the story was good and the driving was amazing. This sixth outing adds to the last success, which made 630 million dollars in the cinemas only. The world's biggest car film franchise!

F&F6 which premiered in London a week before the rest, due to London being the base here, is starring some of the most amazing sports cars us classic car lovers adore. This time also European super-cars!

The amazing British handmade Jensen Interceptor, the ultra rare Dodge Charger Daytona made in only 300 ex (though here in a replica) and the sporting legend of a every day classic, the Ford Escort RS2000 are tangled in together with the well known Mustang and Corvette. You'll also find a Plymouth Barracuda, a 2011 Dodge Charger, A Nissan GTR, BMW M5 and Aston Martin is also present. Put into the mix the most classic tank driving since James Bond drowned his in Russia, sadly enough crushing a Mustang, and you got a driving focused classic which is even better than the Fast Five!

This is a continuation of Fast Five, and some kind of prequel to the first. Impressive action stunts, fast cars, sexy entertainment, well acted by the crew we've grown to like so much. I love that Gina Carano and Jason Statham is added to the crew. This is so right it can possible be.

This seems to be an unstoppable success story, which will continue to bring classic drivers cars out of oblivion, making new fast for the old classics which should be preserved for the future in a world where cars are looking like bars of soap.

As long as this franchise can keep up with the feel good action and showing the use of nasty cars and chic girls combined with an effective story which includes the classic car chases, this will deliver the thrills.

What will be the cars in the seventh outing? I bet for a Monteverdi, most certainly a Maserati and a nice TWR. I'd sure love to see more of the Jensen Interceptor, so may I suggest a four wheel drive FF-battle between Jensen FF racing against a Ferrari FF? I suggest the name FF7 - Fast & Furious Four Wheel Drive!

Well, we just have to wait a year, because the seventh is on a year from now. Enjoy the rides! I sure did!
