The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

"Turbo Charged Prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious" is exactly what the title says. This takes place before the second of so far 7 "Fast & Furious" films already and was made over 10 years ago already. The star in here is Paul Walker and there is certainly some irony to his death and his character in these films. Maybe, he was not too different compared to Brian O'Conner in real life. Anyway, about this film here: It runs for 6 minutes only and has basically pointless need-for-speed action from start to finish with the character and actor I just mentioned and some hot girls with little clothes who enjoy the lifestyle as well. There is no substance to this movie, no good story line, no humour, nothing. Just pointless action. But what would you expect if the writer comes from "The Voice". If the feature films look somehow similar, I cannot say I am angry that I have not seen a single one so far. Highly not recommended.

An 8 might seem generous here. The idea of a franchise (Vin Diesel) wanting such a complete picture, that they create short movies to fill plot holes, is just perfect to me. I think they could stand to do a little more of that, 6-22 minute segments with various characters. This portion of the franchise coming in at about 6 minutes is all silent. It has pieces put together fro the time Brian ad Dom went their separate ways at the end of the first. It has a nice little segue into the Miami scene. It gives a quick glimpse of what it might be like trying to make a name for yourself, all while finding your own way. The best part of this short film is no doubt, when a baby is born, not literally obviously, but something comes from nothing, and it just makes you appreciate that much more.

THIS MAY HAVE SLIGHT SPOILERS!!! i am glad that this short video that explains what happens to brain after the first film was realised i enjoy the fast and furious films a lot and am more then happy they have made this video to explain how he got his skyline r34 the reason i gave this a rating of 10 is because i was pleased they realised the video most films would not have done this but the fast and furious have twice in fact and i am of corse talking about the other short film realised after the first film which I'm not going to go into detail about but to go into short detail it is what happens to Dominic and Letty after the first film it also explains how Dom knows Han, Tego and Santos thats all i am going to say but if you want to see the short film with Dom and Letty its called "Los Bandoleros" enjoy
