Fast & Furious - 6 Movie Collection [Blu-ray] [2001]

Fast and Furious came about when boy-racer-ism was at its highest and preceded the likes of Need For Speed: Underground which marked an important date for street racing culture.Fast and Furious: The early roots of the series where we follow a cop - Brian - who is looking to infiltrate and arrest a gang of criminals stealing goods from trucks. The first entry in the series focuses a bit more on street racing than the rest of the series.2 Fast 2 Furious: Dropping one of the leading actors - Vin Diesel - 2 Fast 2 Furious introduces us to one of Brian's friends, Roman Pearce. Working for the police once again, Brian and Roman need to infiltrate and arrest a drug baron and his ring. To do so, they aim to become his drivers - tasked with beating other two-man teams to getting the job. This is where the focus of the series starts to stray from underground racing and becomes more about the criminal underground.Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift: As if just to make me contradict myself, Tokyo Drift takes us back to street racing - if only for a fleeting moment. We follow a new protagonist - Sean Boswell - who is sent to Japan to live with his father after causing too much trouble in the US. Given his love of cars and street racing, it's only a matter of time before he thrusts himself head-first into the world of underground Tokyo. The difference being that this isn't just normal street racing, this is drift. Through a series of events, Sean ends up intertwined with a criminal ring and has to walk a fine line to stay out of trouble.Fast and Furious 4: We return to Brian and Dom - Vin Diesel - and Dom has upped himself, taking on much bigger gigs than stealing electronics. Brian, working for the police, has been tasked with taking down a much bigger drug baron than he faced before and through a series of events, Dom is also targeting said drug baron - But Brian and Dom aren't necessarily on the same side in all of this.Fast and Furious 5: Following the events of Fast and Furious 4, Brian has left the police force and Dom has a plan. Marking what could be the end of his life of crime, Dom enlists a crew to do the impossible - Steal 100 million from Reyes. But they're not just going to drive in and shoot up the place - Dom got a hold of the location of the money and has a plan, this is going to be a heist.Fast and Furious 6: Dom is met with a ghost from the past and will do anything to get them. The problem is, this ghost from the past has no memory and is working directly under a new criminal - Shaw. Shaw has taken crime to a new level and incorporates technology into everything he does. He has eyes and ears everywhere and Dom looks to be outmatched. Dom gets a crew together to attempt to take down Shaw and get to the ghost.The series gets off to a somewhat B-movie-ish start as the first two movies use a lot of cheap special effects, but as the series progresses it becomes apparent that this is a really great movie series and especially Tokyo Drift, 4, 5 and 6 which were directed under Lin - who seems to absolutely adore the series - the quality shows.One problem with this box set in particular is that the discs for Fast and Furious 5 and 6 don't have any numbers on them and - in my case - were reverse positions from what all four of the other discs were. To make things a bit easier for you if you are unsure: 5's disc has one car on it, 6 has many.

For the price, I was very surprised I can get such a good box set. The set consits of 3 Blu-ray cases with 2 discs (2 films) inside each of them, bundled together in a slip case. But they don't have that cheap feel to them. The cases are very solid and also the slip case Is well made.To the movies now, for fans of the series, get this Blu-ray box set, the older movies look stunning on Blu-ray, the new ones of course look even more stunning. Also, the price for all 6 movies and is great. Totally worth getting.

This is one nice package of movies. All six Fast and the Furious movies (even Tokyo Drift...ugh!) in one marvelous set on six (region free) blu rays! Each movie (with its special features) gets its own disc (so no nasty compression problems when cramming two movies on one disc). There are three plastic cases (housing two discs each) that slide into a nice outer box. To be honest, most of these I have on US blu ray. I just wanted #6 since it has NOT been officially announced for release here in the states (I hear around Christmas), so I splurged and got all six in one package! And these movies are what blu ray was meant to be! The 1080p transfers on all look amazing and the lossless DTS-HD Master soundtrack really tests your subwoofer. Just VERY disappointed Universal did not release the sixth one in the new 7.1 instead of the standard 5.1 (most newer Universal titles are being released with 7.1 surround track). Plus the sith one comes with an extended version (only a few minutes longer, though).Glad these are just the blu rays and not with the DVDs too. That is the norm here in the states. Who would want that? I love blu ray too much to have to go back to the DVD version.This is one amazing set of some really good action movies. Cannot wait to see the seventh installment!

Having only recently discovered the 'Fast & Furious' films, I'm well and truly hooked!As other Reviewers have said (so I won't repeat), only three of the films (Fast & Furious, F&F 5 and F&F 6) have Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in them and these are the best out of this set. Not to say the other three aren't very watchable - they are - but the obvious chemistry between Walker and Diesel plays out very well on screen and brings an integrity to the films which are, quite literally 'sit on the edge of your seat' thrill-fests..Nice to see there is actually a 'story' running through the film with a beginning, middle and high-octane ending - not all 'action' films have that - and for car enthusiasts, it's Nirvana!Don't waste your time reading any more reviews - just order the six-pack (boxed set), settle down and prepared to be thrilled.

I was only interested in four/six "films" personally with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker...who the later was, sadly the most strikingly good looking actor which the USA has produced in the last twenty years...but that is my own opinion as a photographer and with no deeper feelings!These films are all to make us wake up and say "Bazinga" when you are feeling down and want a bit of adrenaline to move your feelings to a higher plane! But do not take them seriously. The feelings of "family" by Van Diesel are a nice touch considering the rest of the storyline; with the Rock joining the last two films and the usual suspects of interacting hotshots with their own characters brings a bit of zing to the films. Well done..But do not take then seriously when the CG I and technical guy/girls do their jobs well.

Great value. Cheaper than the DVD - how can this be!These films are a cliché in petrol-headed men and women, hot chicks for the guys to drool over. Paul Walker for the women to drool over........and lots of fast driving. Brainless and fun
