Looking forward to this - never went to see it as I don't go to the cinema much these days.

Hope the steelbook looks good

This was a lot better than it should have been, enjoyed it a lot and will be picking this up day one.

Not only was this the best one in the series yet, it was also a great film! Really enjoyed this! Will definitely be picking up the SteelBook! Can't wait!

The film was ok, it was just too ott for me. Great action though, and youve gotta love Dwayne Johnson vs Vin Diesel!

Steelbook now available for preorder on Play - no new pics yet though:

And a Collectors Edition of the 1-5 boxset:

The artwork for the 1-5 boxset looks really nice! But I just know there will be a 6th film dammit! Also looks as though the 1-6 boxset will have normal UK size amaray cases like The Godfather boxset and Dirty Harry Collection.

Better picture of the LE http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fast-Furious...098253&sr=1-18 Novel but I might well pass as four is cut and a sixth seems inevitable

[Natty]

This packaging looks pretty lame tbh. I don't think I would want that on my shelf...plus number 6 in inevitable ^^

Its something that could look good with a metal wheel rim and a soft vinyl tire but it'll probably be a cheapo hard plastic clamshell with bad silver spray paint

I thought I'd read somewhere that the UK Blu-ray release of FAF, unlike the UK cinema release, was uncut?

AFAIK the UK got the exact same BD (i.e. bit for bit) that Japan and the rest of Western Europe got; When Universal does this, it's often a pretty good indication that the movie we've received is uncut.

EDIT: I've remembered where I read that the UK BD of FAF is uncut, 'twas HERE.

I haven't actually seen it on blu ray, I'm going by this http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=14778 but they also said 2 Fast 2 Furious was cut on DVD but not on blu so I dunno

Just ordered the SteelBook, was thinking of getting the 1-5 set but at that price it would be cheaper to get the 1-4 set and the steelbook.

That's my plan as well - plus its a rather nice looking steel

I was surprised at how nice it looked, makes a change for me to be impressed

And the 1-4 set is almost certain to get a big reduction, almost every big box set has dropped to £20 or below in the last few months, so I'm just gunna play the waiting game Not getting stung again like with the Alien Anthology lol.

A Fast & Furious film that's over the top, say it isn't so....

Yer but this was even more so than normal haha. I was actually laughing in the cinema

[Sky_Captain]

I think that was the point, even the actors were visibly laughing in a few scenes.

It's called 'fun'.
