Product Information

Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit activities Firm Reference Number 656489. Disc 3: Alabama teenager Sean Boswell becomes a major competitor in the world of drift racing after moving in with his father in Tokyo to avoid a jail sentence in America. It's like a sweet, pimped-out import car with a lot of NOS and a Power Wheels engine under the hood: looks good, moves fast, and doesn't have a lot of substance. On the whole, it looks alright, and some viewers won't even notice (it probably looked good on tube TVs of 2001), but given that these are meant to be brand-new "Limited Editions", it's a huge strike against them that Universal decided this very old transfer was good enough. Multiple Camera-Angle Stunt Sequence and Movie Magic Interactive Special Effects let you see various angles of the last two big stunts in the movie.

Fast and Furious is a series of action films starring an eclectic cast of actors, including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Gal Gadot, Jason Statham, and Dwayne Johnson. With his superiors on his back (including Ted Levine) and Dominic's best friend (Matt Schulze) getting suspicious, Brian's forced to choose between the law and his loyalty to Dom before his increasingly personal ties to the case blow everything. Paul Walker has had his moments (namely Wayne Kramer's hyper-kinetic Running Scared), but the movie marks his first major movie role, and if anything's affected the world's opinion of him, it's his performance right here. During the film's big truck sequence near the end, the final moment features a roof-grabbing bit of business a current movie wouldn't have even tried, and it makes the scene just that much better. Rev those engines up for Zavvi UK’s wide range of Fast and Furious merchandise, racing into your collection today.

Hot Off the Street" (4:53) turns out to be a reel of additional deleted scenes (although one is indistinguishable from a scene included on Disc 1). Quarter Mile at a Time" (9:44) is an interesting little featurette on long history of street racing. His prime suspect is Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), whose passion for Japanese fast cars is matched only by his enthusiasm for stealing hi-tech equipment.

Show me someone who goes to a summer action tentpole about street racing, directed by Rob Cohen and starring Walker and Diesel and says afterward they got a movie they weren't expecting, and I'll show you a liar.

He's occasionally at his worst: any attempt to use slang, talk cool, or land a snappy comeback is remarkably wooden; it becomes almost ironic that he's playing an undercover agent as he stumbles through each sentence. We will introduce you exclusively to Newpay finance products provided by NewDay Limited under this Introducer Appointed Representative arrangement.But the Rio gangsters are not the only ones on Toretto's tail; wily federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) has also been assigned to track down the pair, and will stop at nothing to corner his prey. The imaginatively-named "Featurette on Editing for the Motion Picture Association of America" (4:36) is a much more interesting and candid look at Cohen and editor Peter Honess trimming to get a PG-13.

The last two extras on Disc 1 are the movie's theatrical trailer and "Racer X": The Article that Inspired the Movie, which is an interesting read but is spread over 20+ pages.Even those who don't own the movie yet should skip this warmed-over cash-in until they've got a Blu-Ray player or Universal does the title right (I'm sure Fast and the Furious 5 is right around the corner). The DVD refers to them as "extended", but that just means they're additions to scenes that made it into the movie. It's not rocket science: given the basic details, either you want to see The Fast and the Furious or you don't, and there isn't a whole lot of middle ground.
