Is 2 Fast 2 Furious The Best In The Franchise?

[@12thMandalorian]

I’m honestly surprised by how low I see it rated by some, I feel Paul and Tyrese's dynamic outshines Paul and Vins in every way.

[@matthewsengendo6302]

True I guess since Paul & Tyrese where really close

[@nathanielhampton2559]

I feel the same way.

[@liltiger3]

I think both dynamics work greatly for their respective movies. FF1 is more of a interpersonal drama while FF2 is closer to a buddy comedy. Brian and Dom don't know each other and have to build that brotherly bond over time, while Brian and Roman have a history and can play off each other.

[@ColonelCarnage]

I like watching this movie around the beginning of every summer. Think it’s the most fun one in the series.

[@Alacaelum]

I think that too, I think Tyrese was much more willing to play funny but serious. I have to admit... I started to resent Vin's overly serious and "badass" character, not like there isn't charm to him... in the early movies, but the recent movies just... they bore me, and make me not like Don anymore.

I always laugh when they go to get the package out of the bad guy's car and Roman smashes the window, only for Brian to just open the unlocked door. They both just look at each other and say nothing 😂

[@kuzweliveordie7]

Hands down my favorite scene in the film 😂

[@mysteriousstranger.44]

Roman: What are you checking her out for? Brian: I'm not checking her out. * cuts to the next scene * Roman: Yes you were. Brian: No I wasn't. Roman: I seen you checking her out man. Brian: Okay I was now shut up. Roman: You shut up! Tell me to shut up? Fuentes: Both you girlies shut up! Unbelievable... 🤣

[@_Shay_]

I'd put 2 Fast 2 Furious over all the movies after Fast Five. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

[@skylined5534]

Yep I'd agree with that. It's a pretty terrible but yet still very watchable film and far better than all the later ones. It went from 'fun' to taking its self too seriously... Just like the bloody Marvel franchise did!

[@Two_trucks]

2 Fast and 2 Furious is my favorite out of the whole entire franchise, especially the cars they picked!

[@inFAMous1013fm]

That last sentence in the excerpt of what Vin Diesel said "They were capitalizing on the brand and milking the success of it as long as they could." He says thats why he didnt do 2 Fast 2 furious. THAT SENTENCE LITERALLY DEFINES THE NEXT 8 MOVIES IN THE FAST FRANCHISE. Vin Diesel has no self awareness lmao

[@ramadhanisme7]

Yeah exactly, funny that vin didn't realised he criticised his own

[@trjozsef]

Or maybe it's like Coppola's writing and they're setting the stage each time for an even more ridiculous successor.

Next 8?! I'm from the future and they've just released Fast and Furiously Farcical 48 and they're doing two more next year! Send help!

[@girlytomboyx]

Especially after FF7, it was the PERFECT movie to send off Brian/Paul Walker, and end it there, but now they are definitely milking it after FF7.

I'm 32 now so was at the perfect age when this came out. I loved it.

[@JamesRussoMillas]

They captured the Miami vibe in 2F so well imo. The intro race scene is literally my favorite movie car scene to this day, it's just perfect. Kid me thought the bridge jump was the coolest shit ever. All the characters have actual personalities in this movie too. Definitely doesn't deserve the hate.

I take it you got into the franchise kinda late​@@ajohndaeal-asad6731

[@Dm6Ripper]

I've always felt if the DVD prelude had been in the theater it would have been better received. Explaining Brian on the run, the extra races, and how he got the GTR to Miami definitely helped the plot

[@liltiger3]

I have a high affinity for the "Classic" era of The Fast and the Furious franchise. 1, 2, and Tokyo Drift are all a little bit different but all have a very clear understanding of what the franchise is all about. Fast cars, family, and most importantly racing. After these three films the franchise jumps the shark, in a good way to be clear, but the simplicity and low stakes of the first three movies is extremely charming and a great time capsule of that early-mid 2000s era.

[@trol68419]

Fast 5 is my favorite, but this my second favorite. I remember being so skeptical of this one because it didn't have Vin but it was a lot of fun and the audience was really into it. They'll never get confused for a Kubrick film but there's nothing wrong with mindless fun.

[@ayby17]

Same here

[@jacka7xhollow]

[@ajohndaeal-asad6731]

That 3rd one had the best soundtrack. Makes you want to start drifting like some anime music

[@skylined5534]

In order of favourites for me, 1, 3 and 2. Thankfully they stopped and NEVER did another film after 3... 😂

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

2 Fast 2 Furious is and will forever be my favorite of the franchise. While maybe yes, the stunts are what kickstarted the action-packed movies thereafter, most of the stunts were still realistic, with the exclusion of the boat jump of course. I think Fast and Furious was still grounded with most of it's action.

[@halfwaytobedlam3234]

While silly at times it definitely has its own signature style, just like the first one had its own. I always come back to the racing scenes

[@BazurtoStudios]

I had no clue this was so hated. Roman is my fave character and this was his origins history, I've loved this movie!

[@Dugen]

I didn't realize 2 Fast was hated lol. It's a shame, because it's probably my favorite of the series. Their loss. I still quote "we hongry" to this day

[@Reach008]

As a kid, my mom rented for me Phantom Menace and 2 Fast and 2 Furious. I put on phantom menace and within 25 minutes I turned it off, but 2 fast 2 furious? I was hooked, and that cemented as a fan of the family ever since. Even tho Fast Five is my personal favorite, I love 2 fast 2 furious for being shot in Miami, and it’s a local favorite around here next to Tokyo drift.

[@gencemosia9355]

The first movie was cool but this is the one that really got me hooked into the franchise. You can imagine my excitement when Roman returned for the fifth movie 😃

[@ChazBlanks]

This was the first one I saw in theaters as I was too young according to my mom for the first one. I loved this movie when I was eleven and and I love it now in my thirties. It's not an over the top movie but a nice buddy cop like movie that is action pack (realistic) and the story is easy to follow.

Agreed this is my favorite of the franchise. It was just a fun movie, unlike the ridiculous over the top action of the newer ones.

[@LivinMyJeffLife]

I was a kid when this came out & at the time? This movie was HUGE! Ludacris had the song too? It was a good time😁

[@StuntmanDanHemi]

As the franchise has gone completely bonkers, OG fans went back to advocate for the original trilogy, yet i STILL don't see enough recognition for 2F2F. I'm gona be honest, 2F2F has been, and at this point will always be my favorite F&F movie, it has everything, JDMs, muscles, exotics, pink slips, sprints, circuits, chases, THE SCRAMBLE BABY! it's the only movie where Roman is legitimately funny. Singleton's hip hop music video vibe completely fits the NFS Underground 2 world phenomenon at the time and i still happened to be a full raphead back then, and on the side note, Singleton was the one who discovered Pitbull and arguably made him the world wide superstar he turned out to be later on. On the rewatch the stakes feel real and very high and keep bloating throughout the movie, which gave it even more tension to the scenes, Brian and Roman's friendship does feel more real in 1 movie, than Dom and Brian's "brotherhood" in 5 movies. I missed the first F&F in theaters, but after picking it up at Blockbuster me and my dad were the first ones in line for the 2F2F premiere, my heart was racing the entire time and we never missed another F&F movie in theaters again lol.

[@ineedpowers5151]

True! Very true Brian and Romans friendship feels more real then with Dom !! 😔 I wished Paul Walker had been alive.

[@dasanivaldez]

As someone who grow up in the 2000’s the first 2 Fast movies feel as if they perfectly captured the time. The stunts, the colors and comedy. They both have their own identity. The following movies after Tokyo Drift don’t seem to have any identity as the characters became superhuman vigilantes.

[@jahimuddin2306]

This is in my personal top three for the franchise (Fast 5, Furious 7, 2 Fast 2 Furious). Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, and Ludacris had amazing chemistry together and were funny. It had nice cars and some good action. There is something about it that keep me coming back.

[@robertgibsonv7943]

[@jimmyk4445]

I used to watch this movie all the time. Me and my best friend LOVED the first movie, to the point where we could basically reenact the whole thing. The second one came out and we automatically loved it. Then when I was 20 years old, in 2007, I bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider, the same car that Rome drove in the movie. Mine was red but it had similar(ish) side decals and it was a convertible. If you saw the movie and saw my car you would make the connection pretty easily. Anyways, I installed a DVD player in the car and kept 2Fast 2Furious in it at all times so I could pop it in and make jokes and try to impress girls lol. We were 20 years old, we grew up in a very small town, and no one had money, so it was like the coolest thing in the world to have the same car as Rome in 2Fast 2Furious.

The only thing I remember as a kid was this movie was considered to be bad. I watched it on TV or something as a kid and remember thinking to myself…..”I like this!” Especially the “pockets ain’t empty cuz” scene. Brilliant!

[@CraftDPham]

2 Fast 2 Furious is easily one of my favourites out of the entire franchise. the chemistry between Tyrese and Paul Walker was impeccable and the number of quotable lines makes it stand out. to this day i still say "my pockets ain't empty cuh" or "cause i'm hUNGry" or "ejecto seato cuz" when i land a snipe. wild to see it wasn't well received by critics.

Minus the whole drug cartel story line, its been at times like this. Meet up in locations, finding places to race, building relationships talking mad shit. Everyone actually having cars they are dedicated to. Ending up at random afterparties or even sometimes clubs and shit with the crew. It was def a different time. NGL miss it.

Idk if I said it on one of your older videos or not. But 2 Fast 2 Furious then Tokyo Drift, was a good way to go.
