      The first one is fantastic. 2 is also very good. Toyko Drift is great if you can get over a 24 year old actor playing a high schooler. 5 is a good as an over the top action movie. The rest get progressively worse the newer they get.

      The early ones are pretty good. They start to really go off the rails around 5 or 6, but they were still kind of good fun action with cars. Starting at like, 7 or 8, they started really dunking.

      Probably the most annoying bit is how literally every villain ends up becoming a redeemed hero, its stupid.

              My sort of pet idea.

              Everything has just been escalating and escalating. One character (Tyreese) even acknowledged a few times how absurd everything is, almost 4th wall.

              My thought was, something happens, and they suddenly wake up and discover they have been trapped in a sort of VR simulation. Then they have to stop the bad guy, but everything is super grounded like the first movie.

              Sort of like in Last Action Hero when they escape the movie. Or a bit like Saints Row 4.

          There were so many memes about them doing it in the future that it was basically fan service at that point lol
