    There is bit more than a month left before tenth Fast & Furious movie ? eleventh if we count the spin-off ? hits theaters around the world with a new helping of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family.

    If we started watching Fast & Furious movies today, it could be an easy task to forget that Fast & Furious began as a film about the illegal street racing scene in LA, coupled with a criminal plot led by the Toretto “family.”

    The clandestine races were a key element in the first four Fast & Furious movies, but they were relegated to the background until they almost disappeared in the fifth installment, and since then they have been only mere winks.

    That may be going to change in Fast & Furious 10, which aims to bring back the road racing that fueled the franchise in its start.

    In an interview with Total Film (via CBR), the director of Fast X, Louis Leterrier, has stressed that the finish of the saga will recover that part of the first films that is eclipsed by the large doses of excessive action. .

    While Fast & Furious was triumphing with its first installment, Louise Leterrier took advantage of the slipstream with films like Transporter and its own sequel. Time wanted him and Jason Statham to meet up again in a similar saga, as well as different.

    “As a fan, there are a few things that I wanted to create back from the franchise, like street racing. That’s the fun of it: when you’re the director of a movie series you’ve admired for so a long time, you can make your fantasies come true!”

    With the finish of the main saga in sight, it is a good thing that Louis Leterrier wants to bring back a component as iconic to Fast & Furious as street racing. We’ll see if Dominic Toretto is once again the king of the streets or if these races remain some kind of flimsy nod to fans of the saga for a lot more than 20 years.

    Or perhaps watch Fast X was simply that they were wrong. Because ‘Super Mario Bros: The Movie’ is really a paragon of filmic madness shot at an exceptionally interesting speed sufficient reason for a continuing beating of the characters that brilliantly recalls the beatings that Sylvester the cat or Roadrunner received (and receives), not to mention the poor villains who have been facing Popeye. Furthermore, the princess (sita) of the Mushroom Kingdom looks more, a lot more, like Furiosa or Michelle Rodriguez than Goldilocks or Anna from ‘Frozen’.

    Speaking of Michelle, you will find a chase scene with absolutely transformative vehicles, a chase through the Rainbow highways, that could be assumed as the perfect preview of the upcoming ‘Fast & Furious X’. Yes Yes. For me personally ‘Super Mario Bros’ is, during that crazy gizmo race, a complete ‘Fast & Furious 9 3/4’. And on the soundtrack, apart from sensei Kondo’s original songs and Brian Tyler’s compositions, Bonnie Tyler singing ‘Holding for a Hero’, AC/DC and Bizet’s Carmen.

    They lied. Or they were wrong. This is one of many funniest & most brilliant movies. And very neighborhood. From a NY neighborhood. Very Brooklyn. With some ‘Little Italy’. Without forgetting King Turtle (nothing to do with the ninja mutant chelonians of the rat master, they’re very New Yorkers too) who rocks and rolls in love with Princess.
