FIRST TIME WATCHING: The Fast and the Furious

Brian is from Arizona

lets fkng gooooooooo

lmao, these are so terrible--and then they get good--and then they get absolutely awful again.

Love these movies! You have to watch the whole series - they get pretty stupid after 7. But.. they're fun and they know they're stupid lol

Why would you just assume people don't want to watch this? Lol.. its a classic and loved by LOTS of people.. some of them are better than others, but as long as paul walker is in it it, it's good.. Tokyo drift is my least favorite of the series.. you can honestly stop watching after 7.. that's Paul's send off and imo the ending of the franchise

Ayyeee I Had to join the Patreon for this series!!!

It’s hard to believe that they made this movie when I was about five years old. Dom’s house and market take place in East LA, but they actually filmed in Angelino Heights which neighbors Echo Park. The market itself is real, but it’s called Bob’s Market. They don’t sell sandwiches, but they do sell Fast & Furious toy cars and other merch. These films are the reason that Angelino Heights has become so popular, but that’s also become a nuisance for the residents to the point where drivers started doing donuts in front of the market. So they had to implement speed bumpers and more traffic signs to minimize trouble. The house is also uphill on Keningston Road not too far from the market. If you want to visit someday, don’t stay in front of the house for too long. Someone still lives there.

Omg I'm so happy that you are watching these films! But Nat please hear me out lmao. You (based on previous reactions) are very logistically based when reacting. Let me tell you. After the fifth ish movie these films do not give a rats ass about being realistic. So please when you watch them (and I hope you do them all if possible) please watch them with just having fun in mind. They are fun AF and action based. Each movie goes how can we make cars more action based and they do that lol. So just don't think too much into them and have fun bc they are an awesome and fun watch if you let them be.

Please watch the prelude to 2 fast 2 furious before watching the movie. Thanks

They are just a bit goofy, but a lot of fun

Nat fair warning going foward. Non of these movies are based in reality. Its just mindless action 😂

i for one am here for these. as a class of 01 alum, the first one here is especially near and dear.

I love having an excuse to rewatch these and now I have another one! Not that I ever needed one before haha.

Love that you are giving these a chance. Great reaction! They are just good popcorn movies. This came out when I was 18 and helped cement my love for cars. The first 3 movies are a bit different from the rest of them, more car oriented but the campy/cheesy goodness is there. 4 was a tough watch but 5 is really good. I'd love to see you watch through 5.

In the vibe of old Vin Diesel movies, the Riddick movies are great! I'm glad to watch the FF movies with you for sure!

I am in for the Full Ride. You may find this series to be the "Elden Ring" of film. You think its not really your kind of thing, next thing you know you can't stop...

Instead of Jason Statham, or alongside Jason Statham, may I suggest going down a rabbit hole of Jackie Chan movies? it'd be cool to see you react to Hong Kong cinema, especially with a legend like Jackie.

I unironically love this series. I saw the first one 3 days in a row in theaters when it came out. If you make it that far, I personally say to stop at 7. Thanks for the fun video Nat!

I'm legitimately so excited for this series of movies. I love these dumb movies.

I will be gladly watching along for the first five of these, after that I'm out.

Definitely recommend Pitch Black for Natmares. It's not super scary, and Vin Diesel is such a badass in it. One of his best characters other than Dom. It had been a while since I'd seen this. It was fun. And good god I know all movies cast beautiful people, but this one was crazy. Even all the extras looked like they could have been models!

Missed a end credit scene btw, just about all the films will have one keep that in mind

Does nat know about how special "Furious 7" is? Paul Walkers last film that he couldnt even finish because he passed away in a car wreck. I hope regardless of what Nat thinks of this series, that she sees it as just a bunch of dumb fun with cars and action and sees how fun the actors are having with mjority practical effects.

It's been over 10 years since I watch the first 3 movies, I'm all cool with it, as most are probably are.

5,6 and 7 are the best ones so hope you make it to those

If you plan on watching Transformers One on this channel in the future, then you should watch some, if not all, of season one and two of the original cartoon from the 80's. And then you HAVE to watch the 1986 movie on the channel. Watch the movie before watching season 3.

MENNNAAAAAGGEEEEEE

I am all on board fast and furious marathon until Tokyo Drift! Then I lose interest haha

Absolute banger of a movie!!!

I'm pretty excited about this!! Heads up - Fast Five (Is largely considered the high water mark of the series)

Nat, if you're paying for an editor, you need to have a talk with them. In this video, the film is off by a second with your reaction, and this (or worse) is a semi-regular thing for your patreon videos. And whose idea was it to have the timer count down for HotD (and other series), and include commercials and stuff in it? Just start when the actual episode starts and count up from 0:00 like normal, it's pointless to even have it otherwise.

For your movie ideas, you could do some more Keanu movies, like Point Break, Bill & Ted, Constantine.

Watch yo watch yo watch yo back! (I believe that was the song in that scene lol)

Oof, I have a personal issue with this movie lol, it pretty much single handedly destroyed the street racing culture in my home town. I grew up in Ontario, California, about 35 miles east of LA, and we had street racing going back to the 60s when the Ontario Speedway was open. California has had a distinct car culture almost since there have been cars, lowriders, hot rods, street racers, and Southern California in particular has been a hot bed for all kinds of innovations actually, often changing the auto industry. So when I was a teenager in the 90s, Friday and Saturday nights would be the street races on the long streets in the industrial and warehouse part of town where there was no traffic at night, it was pretty awesome, all kinds of cars, mostly American muscle cars but all kinds of custom jobs really, I saw a little Nissan pick up truck just annihilate a Camaro once, and a 60s Volkswagen Beetle so strong it had wheelie bars because the front end would fly up otherwise when it took off from the line, lots of great cars. Then this movie came out and all of sudden EVERYONE and their cousin was at the races, it got stupid, real fast. And then it was so high profile the cops HAD to bust it up, especially because with so many idiots showing up for the scene and not the cars, it really just got stupid and people started getting hurt. Within just a few years of this movie the scene was dead, it had become priority one for the local cops and that was it. Bummer because it was pretty awesome before that. Anyway, I do kind of like the first three movies, Tokyo Drift is my favorite, after that I tuned out, but I'll probably tune back in for Nat's reactions.

Oh and you missed the scene at the end Nat! :P @ 1:46:00

NOS is actually a company name, Nitrous Oxide Systems. Clearly a big time sponsor. Did you know: Nitrous oxide when burned in an internal combustion engine is an oxidizer, it "releases" oxygen and thus adding horsepower. It's been used by hot rodders and professional drag racers for many decades and was actually first used in WW2 on some fighter aircraft. A common slang term is "throttle in a bottle".

I miss the thoughts at the end, even if it's only a couple minutes

i hope one day you will also, if you haven't already, watch all Pixar/Disney films in release order starting from A Bugs Life

next time u gotta do transformers 1 movies just randomly and i'm excited for u to watch more of fast and furious lol

Im excited for random content. So here is my weekly comment to ask for ya'lls support to get SICARIO in a poll.... Thank you.<3

haha shit i sure didnt expect this one Nat! But I am excited for it 100% .

He didn’t say they were in Arizona nat! He called Brian “Mr Arizona” 😂

Just subbed for this, hope you continue the series. at least until 5 haha

Just double drop next Wednesday with a poll and 2 Fast 2 Furious

These movies are actually good for the most part 😅 I’d say they’re pretty consistent right up until 7 or 8 The 4th one is where they perfect the formula for the rest of the franchise tbh - but anyway these movies are ELITE 🤬🤬🤬 Dom, Letty and Brian are my GOATs, you get so invested I still haven’t seen Fast X tho I could. I just haven’t.. and Hobbs and Shaw doesn’t count

Sooo here for this! FAMILY!🔥

For Natmare maybe this year going old school??? Going back to the 60s and 70s Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Rosmary's Baby, Magic, and Carrie.

Maybe you should try two Vin Diesel films... The Chronical of Riddick and for Natmare in October "Pitch Black"

There are 250 Oscar winning movies with an F in the title. Maybe Nat can create a variety of polls filled with Friday features.

These films are hilarious and great and shit and emotional and everything. There's a reason they're so high up in the statistics.

Dom had a personality in the earlier films, I miss it. Also Tokyo Drift is my favorite one of them all.

I think it would be fun for Nat to react to a Harold Lloyd movie...he was literally born 100 years before Nat in 1893...that's only 28 years after Abraham Lincoln was shot. Harrold was 10 when the Wright Brothers first flew. He was also born only 18 years after the first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.

I said of the Fast and Furious franchise around #7 or #8, "The Fast and the Furious movies are stupid and ridiculous and nonsensical and I will never stop watching."

To address the intro, "Ethically," as long as you're watching all the other things you're watching, you're free to watch whatever the heck else you want. *pause* That said, if every Feature Friday becomes a Fast Furious Friday for the next three months, that would get tiresome. =D

"definitely a little silly, but fun and satisfying" should've been on the poster'

To answer your question of when it gets off the rails… After Paul Walker dies. I want to like them after 7… but god damn they do not make it easy. There is a charisma vacuum after that man is gone.

Oh so Nat is going to watch them all? I've only watched like 4 of them. I guess I'll finally have a reason to watch the rest.

FAMILY!

I'm happy to see a reaction to this movie from you and I'd like to see your reaction to all of them, but I get this franchise has mixed opinions and yours may change at some point. I haven't seen the reaction yet as I will soon but if you haven't commented in the reaction about whether you'll be watching this series in release or chronological order, have you decided yet?

Time for the Bollywood of Hollywood, at least once u get to the later ones :D

Also, for future reference, some of the movies have post-credit scenes just in case you miss them.

Variety is the spice of life as they say 😂 enjoy this ride and selfishly I hope you make it through to the end.

I love this franchise

I'm so happy you are doing this franchise. It's my favourite "comfort" franchise for various reasons.

Definitely watch 2F2F but just be aware that it is by far the worst in the franchise and don't base any choices for the rest on that movie. That being said, I still think you'll enjoy it, it's a different vibe, though.

Yes, please. Do them all.

The opening scene gets mirrored in the "Cars" scene when Mack and McQueen are out on the highway.

Bring on the Fast and Furious movies!! Always a good movie to watch as long as you turn your brain off!! You should also try for your next "watch'em all" series all of the Guy Ritchie movies and all of Mathew Vaughn movies

Also more on a general note: I never really use the polls, I ignore them and I get why it is a "selling point" as a feature for different patron levels, but I don't need / want it. I want you to watch movies you want to watch, so hearing you decided to watch this movie just because you want it (kinda ignoring existing polls i guess) is a huge plus. I can much more enjoy it knowing you wanted to watch it even without polls.

I have to say I love this surprise! I was a big fan of the franchise and although I understand why many people liked the fifth one for me that was the point where it went bad. My guilty pleasure favorite will always be the second one :)

This'll be a wild ride (pun intended)

Ahhh shucks, no post credit watch? Everyone misses it lmao

Time for FAMILY!

Oh god…please don’t watch this whole franchise….

This is brilliant

YES! Do them all! There are obviously some good, some bad, but the franchise as a whole is 100% worth a watch. I will second the release order comment. Chrono order will just make it more confusing. They do a good job of clearing up early confusion in the later ones

So thrilled that you’re finally watching these. Such a uniquely insane franchise that I used to hate until I watched them and fell in love. 5-7 is the peak but there are good ones outside that too. And even 2 Fast 2 Furious, which is easily the worst, is still entertainingly bad. Just don’t watch them in chronological order like some are saying, there’s no way to do that in a way that makes sense, and it’s a worse experience. Just watch in release order.

Forgot to Add Fun Facts about this Franchise - Diesel left the series after the original but was lured back by the Studio, The 3rd film, Tokyo Drift, was a soft reboot but Universal panicked, made a last minute deal w/ Diesel (gave Riddick franchise) to cameo & come back to the Franchise, and yes, the drama rift between Diesel & Dwayne Johnson was Real! The original film's director, Rob Cohen was one & done, while Justin Lin directed 5 of the movies but left during production of the last film, F9, due to a rift with none other than Vin Diesel. LOL! You're Welcome.

Essentially the only one out of place is Tokyo Drift which in film release order is number 3 but in terms of watching in order it may make more sence for you to watch It in chronological order rather than release order. I don't want to give away any spoilers, however watching Tokyo Drift before 4, 5 & 6 will spoil a certain story, assuming you get that far with how crazy the films get in the future. Honestly I think you will have a blast watching them

Chronologically I goes: The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast and Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Furious 7, Fast & Furious 8, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, Fast & Furious 9, and Finally Fast X. I don't know why they can't jus number them correctly but that's film making I guess.

Natalie for your ease I think my best advise is just embrace how wacky it gets in the later films, the main thing to latch on to is the story line. There's only one movie out of place in terms or chronological order.

I'm actually really down for it. It's a franchise I absolutely love. It does get a bit crazy and sometimes super silly in terms of what the do in the stunts, but alot of it is don't practically.

Wow! Never thought Nat would react to this Franchise that will never die LOL! The early ones are pretty good especially the original IMO (Tokyo Drift is underrated, 4/5 were the best of the series). Looking forward to Nat's reaction to Deadpool & Wolverine in the 1st Friday of October (hopefully)!

The irony that Jason Statham shows up in this series.

I think Nat’s going to be in for a big surprise if she makes it to 5-7. It’s so weird to see a franchise peak in the middle, but those 3 were legitimately good movies in their own right.

yo nat i don't know why you're so preemptively excusing but we love fast and furious lol

Okay well this was unexpected 😂😂

I only saw short scenes of this on a distant TV with the sound too low to hear dialogue from my distance. I was donating plasma, so i could only see the bigger stunts and live action machismo. I'm sure it's better than the wack glimpses i got made it seem. (C:

God i hope you dont react to all of em, these movies are fucking big dumb😅😭😅

I think I'm going to wait and watch this reaction tonight when I'm a little more "elevated" for the Shakespearen levels of dialogue from this movie. I say this but it was my favorite movie to watch when it came out on DVD when I was 18. 🤣

Oh my god this is scary I was literally thinking about this movie this morning and wondering if you would ever do it. Get out of my brain.

What a surprise lol and RIP Paul Walker he was the nicest guy ever bet him and Keanu reeves would've been great friends

It's a welcomed surprised. I do enjoy most of the franchise. Also a movie recommendation for Natmare season is The Crow (1994)

Oh damn yeah definitely didn't see this happening! Personally I enjoy 1-5 but after that it just becomes too dumb :D

Oof, I have no interest whatsoever in watching these movies, but I hope you like them!

Nice! It's been a while since my jaw dropped for a reactor/film combo, I love the first one, fourth, fifth and sixth...... two and three are ok and you will see why when you get to them in my opinion, but the fourth is where it picks up again! Enjoy the ride Nat! No pun intended 😁 and selfishly just cause I love the F&F franchise as a whole the faster you react to them the better lol but that's just me 😊

Transformers waiting room continues I guess lol...

RIP PAUL WALKER

you WHAT

After part 3 the franchise becomes fully self aware and gets more and more ridiculous. If you don't like these movies it's because you're taking them too seriously.

The Jason Statham movie idea is a good one! Crank, The Meg, Snatch, Spy. He's got so many!

ROFL. Saw this seven times in theatres. I had a '93 240sx with a Bomex Japan body tanabe catback, custom fenders and hood, shaved door handles, tangelo pearl paint from house of kolors. I was 17. It was a good time. Phenomenal film.

Well shit, I wonder how long it takes before it seems silly. My guess is movie 4 or 7. I don’t even remember 6 and stopped watching after 8.

Hell yea!!

This is another film series that I've never watched before, it will be interesting to watch it with you Nat. This is the great thing about watching Nats reactions, you never know what could happen next lol

Happy Fast and Furious Friday Nat. Ha ha you're right. We never saw this coming. Looking forward to watching it with you, and seeing your epic YT video 😊 Damn Nat, that was a fun watch with you. These movies don't pretend to be anything there not. You're just along for the ride, and they just get bigger and crazier as the series goes on, and the action is just some of the best the movies has to offer. I look forward to the next one. Thanks for your awesome reaction today Nat, and for all your great work this week. Looking forward to your stream later 💛
