I don't think we'll ever truly finish the entire Fast Saga because it's never going to end, right? Well, there's that Netflix show that we won't watch, so yeah, you're right. We'll never get to it. That's wonderful actually. That's beautiful. It's just out there.

It's just out there, you know. It's our white whale. The show that I don't want to watch. Anyways. I mean, we could watch it, but also, I don't want to start up Netflix some days. I'm just like, ugh. Nah, actually. I'll be right, thanks.

Yeah. Anyways, leave a like because we are looking at Furious 7. Is that what it's called? I don't know. The titles say Fast and Furious 7, I think. Yeah, man. Who cares? I care. It's important. You don't. Consistency is Fast and Furious 7, I think. Yeah, man, who cares? I care.

It's important. You don't. Consistency is important. I'm upset. I'm just going to say something. Go on. I don't think you do care. No, I don't actually care.

I think you're being upset for comedic relief. You've called my bluff. Anyways, Mason, boy, does this movie make Luke Evans' character from the previous movie look like a baby. You know, Jason Statham's like, you fucking idiot. Look what you've done.

I always had to look after you, and here I am looking after you some more. You needed an entire crew to pull off a heist. I can just walk into a hospital and kill everyone. And I know what you're going to say. When we see that scene where Deckard Shaw has infiltrated this hospital to talk to his brother, most of the people that are on the ground are like cops or like SWAT team members or something like that. But then he throws a grenade into like a receptionist's desk.

Yeah, okay, listen. Yes? We don't see him kill anybody. Except for the grenade. No, because he falls behind the desk. Oh, yes. And maybe he rolls behind the chair. That's true.

Or maybe there's one of those traditional hospital trap doors behind the secretary's desk. Exactly. You know? When one of the, you know, back in the day in the 50s when one of the doctors gets too handsy or whatever, the secretary just opens the hatch below the desk or whatever. Probably used that.

Probably did use that. Didn't kill anybody with that hand grenade. Exactly, Mason. Or when the front of the building collapsed or whatever. Yeah. Look, I think it's also a really good intro for Jason Statham's character. It doesn't work well for his redemption arc, which he's going to be getting. But I think, like, as a compelling villain, I like it a lot.

Yes. I like it a lot, Mason. You know what else I like? Didn't even loosen his tie, you know? Didn't need to. Didn't need to, Mason. You know what I like also? What's that?

It's a big return. Fast cars? Sure. Perfect. You're on the right track. Oh, yeah. Race wars are back. Finally.

So we know from this that Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez's characters, whatever their names are, they invented. Vin and Michelle. Vin and Michelle. Or Vin and Letty? Yes. Vin and Michelle. Vin and Michelle. Or Vin and Letty? Yes. Vin and Letty. They invented race wars because her memory's still gone. They invented it.

They invented it. Thank you. He's taking her on a literal trip through memory lane. There's so many car puns in that as well. I just did. But I like all of that, you know? And I also wonder, like, what was his specific involvement? Like, is he micromanaging on the day-to-day level?

You know how you see, like, at one point, there's two girls just rubbing their butts together? Yeah, yeah. We see they're just like, yeah, more of that, please. He's got a clipboard and just... Is he, like, is it like micromanaging a level of, like, one of those, like, rollercoaster tycoon games where he's, like, he's deciding how much salt is on the popcorn

so people eat more popcorn and they need to go and buy more drinks and clever right very clever it's also does he have all the permits to do a race exactly right yes also do you have a permit for a race wall it's a really great question yeah makes you think doesn't it yeah i feel like they're this is like the corporate version of what he probably started yeah probably his was all about the races. And butts rubbing together. And butts rubbing and the war, the race war part.

And they're probably more about selling like, you know, the foam hats with the... Yeah, let's say race wars. But also kind of bold, like Letty has lost her memory. Yeah. And for him to go, let me drive you out to a little place that I think is pretty special to us. And they drive in. What if she's like, those women are rubbing their butts together. This is all quite misogynist, quite frankly.

Did you require that all their skirts be that short? Come on, Vin Diesel. Yeah, we did it together. It was both of our ideas, I swear. Also, Iggy Azalea is in this. Australia's eye. That's who that is. Okay, yeah. You're welcome, America. She's from Mull this Australia's own That's who that is You're welcome America

She's from Mullumbimby That's right It's probably in one of her rap songs Mason That's right And of course we see Hector He's returned as well And he picks up Letty at one point Don't do that

Even if she did have her memory She probably would have still punched you She wasn't really into that But of course Letty needs some time She goes Dom Toretto There we go Dom Toretto, there we go. Dom Toretto, I need more time. I'm going to leave, but I'll be back

in 15 minutes. Also, there's a lot of cast in this movie, and a lot of us are going to leave for 15 minutes and come back a bit later, and you, the audience, will be like, oh yeah, they're in this. That's right. Oh, that's right, Jermon Honsu is in this. That's right. I forgot. He's in this. Doesn't have a lot to do, does he?

To the point where at one point he's in a helicopter, they're chasing the good guys, and they've got a drone locked onto the heroes of the piece, and they just have to cut back to him going, okay, fire. Great. The boys probably don't need you to do that. They can probably fire on their own.

Yeah, maybe. But he needed some stuff to do. Look, it's always good to see him, and he doesn't get paid enough for being incredible in literally everything that he does. So Mason, Brian is struggling in this movie for a couple of reasons. Go on.

One is that he's 50% a CGI man. We'll get into that and how they replaced Paul Walker for all of this in a moment. But the other thing is, he's a dad, but he just wants to do murders. You know? Yeah. He got a taste for murders.

I feel him. I understand it. I get it. I used to be a teacher. I get it. We all want to do a murder. I get it, Mason. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But instead, he's got to drop the kid off at daycare, and he's just scanning the streets for like, ooh, maybe I can hook something up to my car and drive off with it, bouncing down the street, a swath of destruction in my neighbourhood. But there isn't anything, you know? He's struggling with it. What's weird about that is as well that clearly the parts

that were written before he passed away, the way the narrative is structured, it feels like it was going to be his last movie anyway because a lot of the discussions are about like, well, you've got to settle into this life and whatever. And I know also obviously a lot of the discussions are about like well you got to settle into this life and whatever and i know also obviously a lot of that is reshoots and restructuring the story but like was the point of the movie initially going to be well brian you can't be a father and do murders as a super international car racer guy and then they go you can actually yeah you can

have it all you can be a dad and a murderer. Well, that's what dads want, isn't it? Yeah. We're in an era of dad movies, your Top Gun, Mavericks, and so forth. This was the vanguard of that, the point of the spear, the first one. The dad naissance. That's exactly right. I love it.

This is my era, Mason. Finally, something for dads and people who want to do murders. So look, just to get back to Shaw, we get the first showdown between Hobbs and Shaw, soon to team up in their own successful franchise, Mason. Who knows how many of those movies we're going to be getting, Mason? Oh my God. They're very even already. In the fight that they have, you probably noticed,

they seem to hit each other an equal number of times. They both fall through glass the same amount of times. Okay, yep. The fight only ends because, like, Shaw sort of overpowers him, but not really because The Rock saves a woman, and that's the only reason, like, he loses the fight. I think they even discuss that in a later movie, where it's like, well, the only reason you beat me is because I was saving a woman, in a later movie where it's like, well, the only reason you beat me

is because I was saving a woman, actually. And Shaw's like, well, we're the same height. I was going to say, at least in that opening fight sequence, Statham is visually smaller than The Rock, which I think never happens again, probably. It's all very creative camera angles from this point forward. Maybe he grew in real life. Maybe he did.

Maybe he had a 50-year-old growth spurt. He had that leg-length surgery that we're all, everybody in Hollywood's loving, you know? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. Looks like he's on stilts now. Oh, my God, doesn't it just? Of course, we get Han's death revisited in this and also the movie Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.

We see Bow Wow. We see the fresh out of high school Sean something. He's back. He's back. To be like, ah, I wasn't happy when he died in that explosion. I'd say that much. I'd rather he didn't. But I'm just a good old time, good old boy, you know?

And I don't like it when my friends die in car explosions. He's not fresh out of high school. He'd be still in high school. That's right. Because in that movie, he's in high school, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect. I love it. I'm a big fan of that.

But, of course, we do go to Han's funeral and Tyrese, big return, obviously. He gets to do his apparently in-universe famous birthday distraction speech scenario. Because when he goes to do that, when they go to Dubai or whatever, he's like, I'm going to do the birthday thing. And they're like, not the birthday thing again. When have you done this before? Also, you're clearly just improvising it like on set. What is this?

And you're known for this, for this thing? He's famous for it. Yeah, I guess. Anyway, Tyrese at the funeral of Han says, I can't do any more funerals. And I wanted to ask you. Go on. Is this his first funeral in these movies? For somebody he likes.

I mean, he's killed a bunch of people, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but if you count Han dying in... Multiple movies. In three, and then revisiting that in six. Yeah, yeah. The post-credits in six. And then now.

Counts as three. Goddamn, that's rough. Maybe what he was saying was specifically, I'm sick of going to Han's funeral, which I've done three times at this point, technically.

But no, who else? But I guess we're talking about Letty, I guess, even though she didn't really die. Yeah, he wasn't in that movie, but yeah, I guess he went to the funeral.

Maybe he's saying, I'm tired of going to these funerals where it turns out that the person who died isn't really dead. I'm tired of it to these funerals where it turns out that the person who died isn't really dead. I'm tired of it. I'm pretty sure Han's not dead.

So I'm sick of it. We never picked up Gal Gadot's body. That's right. Where was the funeral for that one? I'll tell you what though, Mason. There was nearly a bloody funeral when Shaw drove his car into Vin Diesel's car, but he'd actually reinforced his car, which is apparently a coward's move. That's right.

We don't know the ins and outs of the international street racing scene. Maybe it is. I think that's normal and okay, actually. You know, if you're going to crash your car head on. I think you'd have to be like, oh, well played, sir. Yeah. Otherwise it's just luck, isn't it? Yeah, that's what I mean.

And later in the movie, Vin does the funny car where he pops the hood up and lifts the front end and crashes over the top of Shaw's car. Is that cheating or is that cool? I think it's just chess, man. These guys, they're always thinking. Yeah, that's right. Always thinking, thinking of new strategies when they're driving directly into each other.

That's right. It's either swerve left, swerve right, crash into each other or one goes on top of the other. Those are the four moves you can do. You son of a bitch, you put those fluffy dice underneath your mirror and they went right into my chest. Oh, well played, sir. And then Kurt Russell turns up as Mr. Sunglasses

and Jason Statham just scurries away. Vin Diesel's like, what are you doing here, Mr. Sunglasses? And he goes, well, I can help you get decked and sure. That's right. He just left. Yeah, I have that note here as well. He just lost him, you idiot. He's probably 200 metres away hiding in a storm drain.

Kurt Russell, what a strange character to introduce into the series at this point. Just a big government guy and he's weird and cheery. And he's got night vision sunglasses. Yeah, he does. And some sort of bulletproof mermaid scale vest under his suit. He's just loving life and drinking Belgian beers. Yeah, man. But he's also got some Heineken on ice ready to go. Some Coronas, please. Some Coronas, I apologise. But he's also got, you know, got some Heineken on ice ready to go. That's true.

Some Coronas. Some Coronas, I apologise. But he's probably also got Heineken's. Probably got Heineken's. Yeah. But that's the thrust of this, because I'd forgotten that the plot of this is that Mr. Sunglasses wants international arms dealer, I

think, Jumon Honsu. Sure. And. Oh, sure, and also sure. I said sure, butumon Honsu. Sure. And- Sure, and also sure. I said sure, but I meant sure, as in I agree. And the family, they want Deckard Shaw. Yeah. So what Mr. Sunglasses wants them to do is to get Ramsay, who's the hacker,

from Jumon Honsu, and then get the chip that she's invented to hack into the world and the whatever, and the hack, it's the hacker from Dumont Honsu, and then get the chip that she's invented to hack into the world and the whatever. It's the thing in this movie that can hack into anything and do anything. It's that thing. And then... God's Eye. God's Eye.

And then he'll help them get Deckard Shaw. Yes. Using God's Eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like Deckard Shaw already has God's Eye because he's just wherever he needs to be. And I feel like once you've gotten Ramsay

you don't really need to get the God's Eye because she can just build you another one. Yeah, well that's probably true. When she's not too busy being sexy.

Awooga! Awooga! All the boys have got their eyes jumping out of their heads. They're doing the thing where their jaw falls on the floor

and then the tongue rolls out and it goes blah blah blah. You know blah, blah, blah, you know? Settle down, you two idiots. They really took like a full minute and a half to go like, wow, this is sexy and she's really sexy. That's what we think. They really leaned into that, Mason.

We should have a competition to see who can do the first lewd comment at her. You know? Let's draw straws for it. Yeah, absolutely. How do you feel about flying cars in this? Love them. Yeah? What are you talking about?

I mean, they drop them out of a plane. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot happens in this movie. It's a big movie. It's a big, big movie. Yeah. A bit of fun.

They look pretty good, I think. I'd forgotten that they hand wave away how they land on the road. They're like, yeah, they've got a GPS. Parachute's got a GPS. Yeah. They're like, we have to hit them on this road because they won't be expecting it. How specifically does that work? Well, it's got a GPS.

Yeah, what are you, deaf? It's got a GPS. It's got a GPS. How like hot air balloons have a GPS? They don't. Hot air balloons just land wherever. Did you know that? Yeah, I did know that. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, pretty GPS. They don't. Hot air balloons just land wherever. Did you know that? Yeah, I did know that, yeah.

That's cool. Yeah. Yeah, pretty good. That's fine. It also feels like if you want to mount an attack on this inaccessible road, you maybe drive there an hour before and maybe just set up a little barricade maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that maybe.

Yeah, that would be great. Maybe a sexy distraction. Sexy distraction, that's perfect. Maybe a race wall. Like an ice cream truck. Yeah, that, yeah. Something like that, maybe. Yeah, that would be great. Maybe a sexy distraction. Sexy distraction, that's perfect. Maybe a race war. Like an ice cream truck. Yeah, that's right. And Jumon Honsu and Deckard Shaw will stop for a moment. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors,

Who can resist? Who can? You put green sleeves on, everybody's jumping out of their skin to get to the ice cream truck. You're not wrong. I also love how it ends where Vin Diesel is cornered on the edge of a cliff

and I'm like, oh my God, how's he going to get out of this one? I'd forgotten. Does he have a secret parachute? Does he have the backup parachute? Is that wheel on the top of his car? Does that do something? Does that shoot a grappling hook and he'll fly off or whatever?

No, it's just fling himself and Ramsey off the side of the cliff in the car and hope that their main character syndrome allows them to survive. Which it did. It does. It didn't look like he'd reinforce that vehicle because that would, of course, be cheating. That'd be cheating. Yeah. Except when he goes, hey, Ted, you've got to make

this car bulletproof. Oh yeah. Cheating. Cheating. I didn't know that was, I'd forgotten about that. Yeah. I'd also forgotten that Ronda Rousey was in this movie. Big year for Ronda Rousey, 2015. Go on. Between this and the Entourage movie. Oh my god, you're right. Where she falls in love with Turtle. That's right. I mean, of all the, look,

of all the Entourage gang, I guess, yeah yeah it'd be it'd be the main guy are you gonna rank these guys in terms of least worst to worst yeah so I mean in terms of

who I think Ronda Rousey or like a normal person would date it would be Vinny Chase because he's the movie star yeah yeah yeah it would be E it would then

it would be Turtle and then of course it would be Johnny Drama yeah right yeah so I guess fucking terrible movie. Anyway.

So Turtles worth like $70 million, isn't it? Oh, that's true. They're all rich. They're all billionaires or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Let's talk about how they handled Paul Walker's death in this because he died at the end of 2013,

which was halfway through filming this in a car accident. You can tell now, especially considering how far face replacement and deep fakes have come since 2015, it's quite noticeable. But in terms of papering over somebody who's 50% not in this movie, I think it does a fairly good job. I think so. And I think it's also a case of they knew it was going to be important so they took the time.

You know what I mean? Yeah. They pushed this I mean? Yeah. They pushed this movie a whole year. Yeah, like face replacement in this era, if they dashed it out at this kind of the level that Marvel movies do, it would have looked horrendous. Yeah, absolutely. So I think they knew it was important.

They're like, let's put some – and look, honestly, if I didn't know that he died during filming, I may not have picked up on it. I think it's pretty – I think I would have picked up at the end where they all look at him and go, damn, I can't believe Brian's going off to be a dad. And then he flies off into the sky. I think at that point...

He's in the grease car. Yeah, exactly. Bye, Brian. But, yeah, so how they did it was they used some dialogue and footage from previous movies. They even took a whole deleted scene. The garage conversation that he has with Mia, that's from Fast Five, a scene that they deleted.

There's a moment where he has a conversation with Vin Diesel on a plane. That's also from a previous movie. So a lot of time you'll notice some of the footage is like you can match it up with previous movies. They also got both of his brothers in. Man, it's great to be part of this family in 2009, he said in the conversation. Can we get rid of that?

Can we take that out? No, we can't take that out. No, no. Can we set this movie in 2009? Sure. Yes. Yeah. So they also used body doubles,

including his brothers Caleb and Cody. She apparently didn't work with Paul Walker at all. Oh, wow. So that was like stand-ins and CGI, which was apparently for her, like incredibly difficult, obviously. But yeah, all in all, I think they handled it as well as you possibly could in this scenario. Agreed. So in the finale, they decide to go, listen, if we're going to face dickard shaw let's take him back to our home

and ruin everything there that's right let's take him to our place where we have the most friends and relatives yeah just really just let him wreck up the place we love you know all our favorite sandwich shops and pizza joints let him put a wrecking ball or a yeah or a drone missile through it you know whatever you know how every time we fight one of these guys, they bring in some, like, weird city-destroying stuff? Let's bring them to our city. Why not? Let's take them on our home turf.

Why? What about this city did you need to battle this guy? You could have done it literally anywhere. No, no, no. Take it to Europe. Who cares? They need that one bridge that the rock can drive an ambulance off and crash it into that predator drone. That's a really great point. I forgot about that one bridge that The Rock can drive an ambulance off and crash it into that Predator drone.

That's a really great point. I forgot about that one bridge. Can't do that anywhere else, can you? Oh, man. Can't do that in any of those walkable European cities, can you, James? They're too narrow, all the streets. That's right. Speaking of The Rock.

You'd have to drop a Fiat off a bridge. You would. He's not in it much, is he? The Rock. Yeah. He's at the start. He's at the end. That's true.

And, of course, he turns up just in time. He's at the start, he's at the end. That's true. And of course, he turns up, just in time, he flexes himself out of that cast. Oh yeah. And he says, give me that minigun. Yeah, that's right. Which of course signifies the return of Mason O's Minigun Minute. Oh, that's right. This is where you rank miniguns, Mason. Of course. Now is this a legit minigun sequence to you? Well this is

certainly a legit minigun. Often I'm critical of miniguns because they've made it in the special effects shop and it's just a multi-barrel gun of some sort. You've criticised the Dread minigun minute, for example, for that very reason. I love that sequence. You're the only one in the world who doesn't like it. That's exactly right.

But this is the classic, the authentic minigun, six barrels, massive rate of fire. It's come off a vehicle, obviously. It can do massive destruction. We see it run through that helicopter. Very impressive. He doesn't run it through any human men, which is a little bit disappointing, obviously. They rarely do.

They rarely do, but it's getting a good spread, and it's leveling the playing field. But obviously, it's come off a Predator drone. So how's he firing it? Where's the trigger mechanism? Zero out of 10. Oh, wow. Sorry.

That's how it goes. Also, he did wander around that city quite a bit. It's true. Just dragging that minigun. I did appreciate that actually, yeah. Luckily they put like 1,500 meters of power cable in that Predator drone, so he can just,

it's a very long extension cord. Yeah. This really also solidifies how incredible and invincible Dom Toretto is. There's a moment during this where they, just before they do the sequence, where they jump the cars from the buildings or whatever, where he lifts the car. I have a note here, just on that.

Yep. Because I thought... Because he lifts the car and he holds it up for like three minutes or something. Yeah. And I'm like, maybe it's made of titanium or something. But I looked it up. The Lycan Hypersport has a curb weight of 1,380 kilograms or 3,042 pounds. Now, bearing in mind.

What are you doing? He doesn't lift the whole thing. He doesn't lift the whole thing off the ground. He lifts half of it off the ground. It's got some purchase still on it. It does not. There's no way. Well, he did it, didn't he?

I guess he did it. That's true. Maybe he dropped it on Paul Walker in between scenes. But what I love about that sequence is that Brian at no point is like, Jesus Christ. It's just taken as a given. Do you want to put something under that to prop it up? There's a tire jack over there.

But it's just taken as a given that Dom could just lift half a car. Yeah, man. Incredible. So, yeah, he lifts the car. He flips his car at one point to place a bomb onto a helicopter. How does he do it? He knocks down a car park with the stomp of his foot. That's right.

After saying the thing about a street fight is the street always wins. It doesn't make any sense. No, usually Ryu wins. Or Blanka. Yeah, often Blanka will win. He also dies. But it turns out that after they stopped doing CPR

on him, he didn't really die. It's true. Is this the movie where they get the amulet that makes him immune to all harm? I think it might be. It must have been, yeah. That would explain him being able to lift the car as well. Yeah. There must have been a scene just before he lifted the car

where he went, oh, what's this? It'll be in that Sultan's house or whatever. Exactly, yeah. My amulet! That's why that guy went, my amulet! Oh, yeah. I was wondering why he said my... On my daughter's birthday of all days.

But it wasn't her birthday. No, it's true. Yeah. God, there's a moment though... He doesn't know he's rich. No, it's true. Yeah. God, there's a moment though. He doesn't know he's rich. No, that's true. He's not paying attention. Where Brian just yells

at the lady, you breathe into him! You breathe into him! And she's like, no, I'll hug him. I'll hug him tighter. I'll hug him. And I'll say I got my memories.

And then he'll come back. That'll do it. Yeah. And anyway, then Wiz Khalifa sings I'll See You Again. And that song has nearly six billion views or whatever it does on YouTube. Oh, that's a classic. It's better than the current one they're advertising Fast X with,

which is just that song that goes, Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride. Do, do, do, do, do, do. That sounds great. It is great, though, isn't it? Yeah. I like the fact in this movie uh just some miscellaneous stuff here i love that brian's arch nemesis in this movie was just that guy on the bus

that happens to not die the first time he encounters him is that tony jar maybe i think it is yeah that's cool that is cool kills him though he gets yeah he kills him at the end but i mean obviously if you're a car guy your nemesis would be a bus guy. Oh, absolutely. It is weird that it's like a Greyhound bus as well, that they've kitted out with all that stuff. Anyway, he could be back. I mean, I know he fell down there. Oh, yeah.

He got dragged down an elevator shaft or whatever, and you heard him splat. Yeah, Ronda Rousey could be back as well. Ronda Rousey could be back. Shimon Honsu could be back. That's true. I respect how you killed me in that helicopter crash. I'm on the team.

Anyways, Mason, it's time for Green Trivia. Green Trivia. I didn't think of another name this week, but I'll tell you what, Mason, I did remember to shout out the guy who's Rodney. Here he is. He's shouting Rodney. Hell yeah. Shout out the guy who shouts Rodney.

Sorry, I misspoke. A little cameo from Lou Ferrigno as the Incredible Hulk on the television in the TV series The Incredible Hulk. Oh, yeah, that's fun, isn't it? And then bloody Hobbs is like, oh, look at this garbage TV series. Shut up, The Rock. Yeah.

Lou Ferrigno walked so you could run. Yeah, that's true. Big freaks on the screen. Come on. Just enormous donkey men lumbering about. That's right. That's you. just enormous donkey men lumbering about.

That's right. That's you. In an interview with Vin Diesel, he stated that Furious 7 2015 was for Paul, and that's true, but the fate of the Furious 2017 is from Paul. Doesn't make any sense. It's from Paul. Oh, very nice.

That's right. Jason Statham has a total of 17 lines in this entire film. Huh. Doesn't say much. No. He's always there. Absolutely. Elevator dings, he walks out. Yeah, That's right. Jason Statham has a total of 17 lines in this entire film. Huh. Doesn't say much. No. But he's always there. Elevator dings, he walks out. Yeah, that's right.

He's always there. There's an elevator, he's going to step out of it. If you leave your office and come back to your office, he's going to be there. On set he was like, maybe I should say the ding. When the lift opens, I should say ding. No, you don't have to. It's okay. We'll put that in post.

Jason. I'll give you a clean 140 edit. Dong. Jason, no. A number of trees were apparently accidentally knocked over in the sequence where several cars flew down from the sky. The US National Park Service had Universal pay for the costly regrowth and the crop of new trees harvested,

along with the sequence involving the flying cars, led to the working title of this film being Flu Harvest. Did you know that? That's great. You've done really good work there. It's terrific stuff. Thank you. Normally I say Blue Harvest.

Oh! But I used a different word. Kurt Russell, Mr. Nobody, there you go, that's your name, practically borrowed the Pat Riley look and hairstyle that he used in To Kill a Sunrise

from 1998 now it's rumoured that Mr. Nobody may be Russell's character Nick Fresca from To Kill a Sunrise who probably went

from being a Los Angeles County Sheriff to a shady government agent yeah that would happen that's a career path I can believe in completely

also just like yeah just give this give this chip to this guy. We don't know his real name, but, you know. I mean, it seems like it's a violation of the civil liberties of everybody else on Earth, but let's give it to this guy. Maybe he's going to do what Batman did and he'll destroy it. Yeah, maybe. I doubt it.

Box office for this, though. This was the first Fast and Furious film from the Fast saga to crack a billion dollars. Yes! And on a budget of $250 million because, of course, reshoots, marketing, face replacement, all of that. But yeah, it got to $1.5 billion. I mean, so much more than the previous one. Like, this was already on the up.

That's true. This literally flew, Mason. This went quite high into the sky I think though all in all This is a good one I do like this one Especially considering you know The behind the scenes of it all

And I think James Wan Who directed this movie What does that mean? I mean a lot of people I think don't know that But James Wan Okay Like he'd done mostly horror films

To this point And then just did this Enormously budgeted car-focused action movie where the lead actor died in the middle of filming. And to pull this off, pretty incredible, I think. This is his Favreau moment, like jumping from a Zathura to an Iron Man. Exactly.

And there you go. And do you know what, Mason? What? Our Favreau moment is going to be next week's episode. Why? Well, because here's a hint towards it. Transformers the movie, Mason, animated in 1986. And how's that our Favreau moment?

It'll be our best video. Oh. Yeah. We're really ramping up the production budget. If you thought this video was okay, the next one will be even better. Okay, all right. And you can actually see it early. You can prove to yourself that we were right.

Okay. If you head over to bigsandwich.co, it's like our private Patreon. There's early videos. There's bonus content, including podcasts, exclusive, movie commentaries, exclusive, Let's Plays, exclusive. I'm going to get to Fast and Furious Crossroads, Mason. I've been working my way through it.

I must not tell you that much. I do like how enormous they make Vin Diesel in that game, though. He's so big. It's an all-star cast, that game. It's some of the stars. And they mention some of the other stars. Anyways, thank you to Ben and Lawrence for the edit. Thanks, guys.

What if it's just Ben? What could be? We'll find out. And we'll see you guys next time. See you again. See you again. That's right. That's right. That's right.
