Vin DieselFast & Furious 1-6 Collection

I actually came to this series really late, the first film I saw was "Fast 5", and I was hooked immediately. I went back watched them all, and I have to say that they are so much fun, I'm sorry it took me so long to give these films a try."The Fast and the Furious" - An undercover cop infiltrates the street racing scene in hopes of stopping a group of racers that have been hijacking tractor trailers full of electronic equipment. A pumping soundtrack, some amazing stunt driving and a great cast of characters get this series off on the right foot."2 Fast 2 Furious" - This may be the weakest entry in the series, but if you just want to watch pretty people driving fast to a thumping soundtrack, then it's still a fun ride. Brian from the first film and his ex-con buddy Roman agree to work with the local customs agents to bring down a drug kingpin."The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" - A problem child is sent to live with his father in Tokyo after a destructive street race. He discovers a new kind of racing called drifting where it's not about speed but about maneuvering your car through a series of tight turns. He finds trouble when the girl he likes has ties with the Yokuza. Imagine "The Karate Kid" using cars instead of karate."Fast & Furious" - Brian and Dom are both on the trail of the man who killed one of their crew, and the search leads both men to a mysterious drug lord living in Mexico. The cartel uses fast drivers to move their product from Mexico into the US, and Dom and Brian use their skills behind the wheel to infiltrate the cartel."Fast 5" - The movie opens at the closing scene of the previous film. Both Brian and Dom are on the run in Brazil when they find themselves caught between a crime lord and an unstoppable DEA agent. This is the film where the series really hits it's stride. Adding Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to the mix, and getting a big time heist this go round really amps up the stakes of the whole franchise."Fast & Furious 6" - As the film opens we see Brian and Dom racing down a twisty highway in Spain to the hospital as Brian's son is being born. Dom and his crew are offered a chance of full pardons if they will help the DEA track down and catch a former Special Ops soldier and his crew before they can build a machine that can take out the power of an entire nation.I think that what I really like about most of these films are the practical stunts. There are scenes where your jaw will drop and you can't help but get engaged. Sure it's over the top, and cheesy, and the dialogue is often corny as hell.....but I love it!! You really get to like and care for these characters, and the continuity is a lot of fun for fans. They weave familiar and former characters in and out of each film, and it's always fun to see familiar characters pop up here or there in the various films.Pop some corn, pop in these movies and just sit back and enjoy.

Contained all 6 in great condition. If you want these movies, this price is amazing. If you want a review on each movie, I'm a little biased because I like them, but I'll do a short review below:The Fast and The Furious (aka Point Break 2.0, with cars instead of surf boards). Enjoyable movie all around, no super ridiculous stunts compared to the others. 8/10Two Fast Two Furious. I'm biased on this one, my younger brother and I watched it a lot and loved quoting it. Set in Miami, now Bryan is a street racer turned mole rather than a mole turned street racer. Introduction of his buddy Roman Pierce - probably due to Vin Diesel wanting too much money - but still a hilarious character. Overall this definitely had the lightest feel to any of the movies. They're smiling and joking around most of the time, and even when they're in danger it's in beautiful Florida weather. 9/10. Got any more reviews up in there? We hungry.Tokyo Drift. This one just seemed like a silly knockoff. Everyone hates on it compared to the others, but how bad is it really? It's pretty bad. We enjoyed making fun of the stuff they do more than the actual movie. 4/10. Han was pretty cool, so he's at least 3 of those 4 points. The other point was for the humor of listening to this Texas "high schooler" with a thick accent saying "What's DK stan' for? Dawnkey Kawng?"Fast and Furious. The sweet return to our beloved Paul and Vin. This movie all around just seemed darker than its predecessors and because of that wasn't quite my favorite, but it was well done. The driving did start to get pretty ridiculous, but it was still a good movie overall. 7/10.Fast Five. Holy laws of Physics Batman! But for real, this was actually my favorite of all of them. The Rock was both hilarious and badass. "Got some good news and some bad news" - "You know I like my dessert first". The entire crew comes back for this one, and while the whole thing could have been avoided if Vin wasn't an idiot and told Mia to steal the GT40 for no reason at all (why Dom, why?) it was very entertaining. The fight between Vin and the Rock was awesome. The scene with the dragging of the bank vault could work if the vault and the chains carrying it were made of adamantium maybe, but we'll let that slide in the interest of entertainment. 10/10Fast & Furious 6. I haven't watched this one yet since theaters, but my initial impression was that it was pretty good. Had somewhat of a darker feel the same as #4, and the chase scenes were hilariously inaccurate (was that runway 24 miles long?) but that's what you get with these movies and if you don't like the lack of Physics, go watch Cosmos. 7/10

Purchased this set as a Deal of the Day with an additional $5 off if you pre-purchase Furious 7. My set is the dual Blu-Ray clamshell cases each contains 3 movies. 1 to 3 and 4 to 6. The Ultraviolet codes worked and 5 and 6 are the Extended Edition. All the discs played flawlessly and sounded great. As I finished up Fast & Furious 6 I really liked how the series progressed and I had a better appreciation for this franchise. I watched them in order and feel it might be the best way to do so to get a better understanding of the characters and how they are all connected. I will admit the 1 was ok and 2 a bit weak but once I watched the entire series 1 and 2 seemed better as I got to know the characters better. The action and budget get better as the series progresses and 5 and 6 are tops. I loved the introduction of Wayne Johnson in 5. He is a great foil to Vin Diesel. The progression of the series from the first film in 2001 to Furious 7 in 2015 is an interesting study in acting styles and the extras on each disc add to the enjoyment of following how this series has progressed and became a passion for all of the cast and crew. Though I am looking forward to watching Furious 7 when the disc is released I will be saddened watching Paul Walker in his last film.The soundtrack and music in each movie just adds to the enjoyment. I recommend watching the entire series to fully appreciate how they all tie together.

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.

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.

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.
