Fast & Furious franchise vs. Mission: Impossible franchise

First two MI soundtracks that is.

Other than 'Saving Private Ryan' and Groot- I have never seen any Vin Diesel movies.

Is MI2 the one that has the big action scene on the bullet train? That was some early ugly CGI.

blocked by earlnash :(

re: "no character left behind", apparently M:I is bringing back Henry Czerny from the original for the new one(s?)

!! Whoa that’s awesome! I was gonna post abt how disappointing it is that he’s only in one since he’s such a fantastic villain. He might be my favorite part of #1.

Which is the recent M:I with the villain who looked like a Heidecker character, that one was good

Really, it's quite impressive that they've maintained such a high qualitative level for so long. Was a time when I thought Bourne might pull off that trick but then the Bourne-less Bourne happened (erk) followed by the very unfortunate Re-Bourne-ening (uggggh)

(Not to mention the Bourne-less Bourne tv show, which I hope the entire world has agreed to disavow)

I liked bourneless bourne it just wasnt a bourne

Bourne 2 and 3 are OK, they have their moments, but the original is the only one I can still watch all the way through.

the recent M:I with the villain who looked like a Heidecker character

…do you mean Philip Seymour Hoffman in MI3? bcz I have some disturbing news about how recently 2006 took place

No no, this fellow

lol that Ludacris thinks fast 6 is about them stealing the London Eye

the God's Macguffin

I couldn't lol too hard, I rewatched it in the cinema ten days ago and had to look up the real name when he said that

I've only seen 2F2F which I'm assured is the worst of the franchise (and I thought was crap). I love every M:I from Ghost Protocol onwards.

i love that the gods eye is such hilariously lazy writing that they have to waste time in future movies coming up with reasons why they cant just use it to instantly do anything and solve every problem that comes up

No no, this fellow

i realized recently that this is the same actor who plays ian curtis in 24 hour party people

Hes brilliant, one of my favourites to see pop up

Hes also fuckin terrifying, as a rule

Specifically in red riding, jesus i break out when i think of that performance

I was reading up on the Fast & the Furious last night and was shocked to learn that Giovanni Ribisi isn't in it.

Was reading The Fast and the Furious franchise films and was shocked to learn that I was shocked by that same fact 3 years ago as well.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
