@@matthewdaley746 Oh he tried to branch out. All kinds of one-offs intended for sequelization. Bloodshot, Last Witch Hunter, came back for XXX in 2017 that hasn't moved on due to financial issues and such.
This could be it's own video on Bullets and Blockbusters but at one point an Inhumans movies was being planned and Vin Diesel was going to be Black Bolt (an in-joke since the character can't talk).
I agree that it started with Paul. Furthermore, I will always believe the franchise should have ended with Paul. The franchise got way worse after 7; it would have been better to end the entire series at 7.
That's what I said when the second film came out. I remember people upset that Vin Diesel wasn't in it. To me Paul was the main character. The whole first movie, we were seeing it from his point of view. He was the lead. It would've been cool to see the villain from the second one coming back.
@@PvzfanPlushforce that's what I'm talking about. Five was the perfect ending and the credit scene ruined it. Tokyo drift was not a bad movie, but it was just odd to bring back a character that clearly died, when in the fourth and fifth movie, they could have had someone else play Hans role, but under a different name. Or just have him as Hans twin. Five was the perfect ending and there was no need for additional movies. 6 was the start of the downfall when they brought Letty back and then it just kept getting worse and worse
Everything considered, they found a near perfect way to wrap up Brian's arc with Furious 7. Besides some shoddy cgi work in certain areas - like when they're driving off after leaving Mr. Nobody in the desert, the film still works well. With the extra year provided, they were able to rework parts of the plot in a generally smooth way. I actually prefer this ending to Brian than the one originally planned, besides the obvious emotional core to it, this actually makes more sense - I've noticed a trend with blockbusters where a character is just like "yeah, I can balance both of my lives," without putting any work in, and Furious 7 was almost guilty of that. In the years since, one thing I prefer the series hadn't done, was constantly bring up this ending, instead of letting Brian's legacy end there, it feels like there getting closer & closer to just bringing him back with some awkward cg model.
But they just throw it out there Brian is quitting the lifestyle, there's no scenes or feeling he wants to quit, it feels so jarringly erupt, the ending is just thrown in for fan service. They should have just had it where he wasn't quitting, and maybe for the sequel explain he's not there for some good reason. They'd already done sequels where the main characters are absent, so it wouldn't have been so different.
@theurbanyouth imo, it wasn't out of nowhere. The movie shows us scenes of his family being put in danger, like when the house is blown up, which is why he sends them away to safety. You could also see his priorities begin to somewhat shift with Fast 5, when he finds out his gonna be a father, but of course, he gets pulled into the adventure in 6&7. But there are hints that he's worried about what that lifestyle means to him & his family, like when he speaks to Mia in the garage.
@nonaborhan7269 it was written that way because he died they had to change the script, (mia having another bby). thats pauls brother in that scene, whereas if he didn't die they would've showed scenes of him wanting to leave
@@nonaborhan7269 Have you not watched any of the movies, or have you only seen that scene alone and not even watched the previous movies or even Furious 7 where they're flying through buildings with their cars filled with danger? They all go through far more danger throughout the series, having their friends die or thought to be dead, but they still continued on, so that scene isn't convincing that Brian would give up when they've been through even worse, especially when there's no real exposition from Brian that he wants to quit or a feeling he's gonna give it up, other than us knowing from behind the scenes the actor isn't there anymore. Him having a family isn't really much reason, when its essentially an over the top action movie series where characters with family are putting themselves into danger all the time, even after losing their family. And Brian wasn't suppose to be retired initially, which narratively would have made far more sense.
This franchise made a huge Paul Walker fan. I haven’t watched any of the fast and furious movies or spin offs since this movie. It felt like a good send off and that’s just where the story ends for me
Furious 7 was the first film I've EVER seen in the franchise and because of that ending, it really ended up resonating with me the most. Not because of Walker's death coaligning with the ending, but because of how much it brought back so much of how much *I* lost people close to me. And that ending really became more true as I lost my aunt just close to a year prior to this releasing. The pain was still vehemently strong at the time and with that relatable loss, it really ended up making this film so much more important than it ever had to be. Especially for someone that's never seen the previous films before.
I remember the day he passed away i was in the kitchen with the fam. Then, the next day, i went to school. Literally, everyone was down (sad) that Paul Walker passed
Bru same i remember that day still I was just chilling I didn’t have a phone at the time I found out by my dad lightly mentioning it like an hour after the new broke and I managed to over here but at the time I was like what?? Why would my dad say that and I thought no it can’t be true cause my dad is old and he doesn’t really know about Hollywood like that and so I didn’t even pay it any mind anyways cut to the next day I go to school early in the morning I walk up to a group of 2 of my buddies and some other kids jsut standing there and everyone proceeds to talk about that as soon as I walked up and at the moment I was like what??😱 but at the same time I wanted to be calm and collected cuase my friends jsut said it and moved on but in my head I was hurt man it sucks fr my whole life I have been into the tuner scene all because of f&f 1,2 and I looked up to Paul ever since I was a little kid in my head I was like dam I wanna jsut like that racing cars being the embodiment of cool and that was how I saw Paul so yea hearing that at school the next day after not believing it when it happened, that sh1 hurt I was in class like thinking like there’s really never going to be another f&f movie and tbh the movies were never the same after jsut feels like a ghost is in the movie the way they mention Brian all the time but can’t see him or driving his skyline anymore
Never watched a Fast & Furious movie. Nor am I interested. But there is an interesting fact: Paul Walker’s daughter got married, and guess who walked her down the aisle? Vin Diesel. Talk about respect. We are Groot.
I found a comment on one of the furious 7 movie clips and it said the following" Paul Walker's not dead just waiting for us at the finish line", I can't remember the person who made that comment but I think it really touched a lot of people myself included.
It sounds like the original vision of the franchise was waaaaaay better than what we have gotten, especially the last couple of films. To be fair the franchise peaked in Fast Five.

To this day, I firmly believe the franchise should’ve ended with 7. But since it’s still going, I hope some of these ideas & cameo appearances are brought back for the “last” movie. Fast 10 part 2 (Fast 11?) should be a straight up celebration of the franchise.
The fact of the matter is that Paul Walker is as important to the franchise as Diesel. F4 to F7 are the best ones. Without Paul Walker the fast and furious simply don't work.
I enjoy it being around Paul Walker's character and keeping Dom as the more mysterious character. Idk how to explain it but as a character who helps and inspires Brian and makes him question his own decisions, like in the first one, would have made him a more interesting character to watch, closer to what he was in the first film and made him the fan favorite. Instead of making him the center of the story, it doesn't work like the original idea. Fans loved the character but then didn't left us wanting more, we got too much and he got annoying.
Hot take. I assume you grew up with 4-7 and not the first three. The first three are the best, in my opinion, as they actually deal with racing, even though said races are still cheesy.
@therealdarkmaster Only Tokyo Drift is about racing. The first one is about an undercover infiltrating a band of thieves. The second one is the same plot but with different characters both 1 and 2 have racing but it's not the center of the movies
@@elharvey5032 Rob Cohen, the director, came up with an idea to do a film centered around the illegal underground street racing of L.A., and casted Paul Walker, whom the two had worked together in their previous movie the Skulls, as his lead. Paul Walker wanted to do a movie where he played 1. An undercover cop and 2. he got to race cars, so Cohen developed this film for him. The Fast and the Furious ALWAYS started out as street racing. Paul Walker stated when referring to where the fast franchise has gone, “Now it’s not just a car movie. It’s a heist movie. It’s an action movie. I jokingly ask, ‘Where else is there to go?’ Unless our cars start turning into robots,” he quipped. Even the lead star referred to the original films as racing films.
Hearing what they originally planned not with the character of Brian but also stuff where Letty secretly had a miscarriage and that was the reason for her regaining back her memories, introducing Brian's father and giving the Tokyo Drift cast more to do makes me wonder how differently the franchise would have received. Because currently the Fast and Furious franchise is seen as a dumb fun popcorn experience but all of these ideas probably would have helped ground it and keep the serious tone in check. Similar to Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Shazam, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight, No Way Home, Shang Chi where on a face value level they look like just generic superhero movies but when watch and analyze them they so much more than that. They have great story telling, relatable characters and well meaning messages that can resonate people. I feel like the Fast and the Furious franchise could have become that as well and in the beginning even when they did outlandish stuff there was still that relatability. We may never know for sure but it's always fun to speculate.
Well have Paul died, it was pretty hard to navigate after that. Studio still wanted the massive money it generates worldwide. But i thought the original idea was solid. It gave purpose and and actually meaning to characters. It would lessen the plotholes and promote the idea of "diversity" which it was real reason why Fast Five was such a hit. It woulda been better movies than F8, F9, and FX
Here's a good idea for a future What Could Have Been: *"ABOMINABLE"* (1995) from Universal Pictures Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme Directed by Peter Hyams or Renny Harlin Produced by Moshe Diamant Screenplay by Troy Neighbors & Steven Fienberg SUMMARY: Described as *""Predator"* in the snow", the story is set in Tibet where a U.N. task force investigate the disappearance of Red Cross workers in the Himalayas, before Van Damme's character ultimately goes face-to-face with the monstrous Abominable Snowman.
@@colinmcneil3428 yes, "Predator in the snow", I'd love to see that, and it was fitting considering JCVD was involved in the OG film and even began filming it
Fun fact: my neighbor was really great friends with Paul Walker. he was a card advisor for the film as he owns his own car place. In fact, he used to stay over at his house. The day of the tragedy, my neighbor was supposed to drive the car but Paul Walker said no it was my turn. My neighbor hasn’t really been the same sense and blames himself for the incident. He is still connected with his family and his good friends with his brother. He is not a big fan of the fast and furious movies and said that they’re only making them for money and doesn’t like Vin Diesel.
Man,i would love to seen these fast and furious over the ones we have,paul and vin were the best of this series,which is why some fans didn't like 2 and 3 back then or 8-10, because didn't either paul or vin. The start this franchise together and dynamic between two were the goat. Rip paul Walker 😢
Ever since Paul died I've felt his character deserved proper closure. Here's my idea with Braga as the antagonist. Becoming a father made Brian realize how important family is so he searches out his father and discovers he has a younger half brother (played by Cody Walker). While connecting with his brother in the DR (no extradition lol), Braga, who has escaped from prison, finds them and kills Brian. Cody searches out Mia who brings in the whole gang to go after Braga once and for all.
You are so very loved and missed Paul. Your impact is still felt to this day and your absence is felt in the movies. Fast and Furious remains the greatest franchise ever, regardless, though! Thank you for the incredible work you left for us to enjoy, Paulie. 💝
It feels like every movie after Furious 7 was directed by Vin Diesel even though they were directed by F. Gary Gray, Justin Lin and Louis Leterrier respectively it feels like he directed them himself because of the amount of creative control he has on the franchise. Vin Diesel wanted to direct Fate Of The Furious but Universal didn’t like that so they hired F. Gary Gary to direct instead
Brother... I absolutely LOVE your channel. Such insightful information for the biggest film buffs out there just to make us stronger with knowledge given. Thank you & stay majestic, Boss. Til next video.
Can you do a video about Hitman: Agent 47 that was going to star Paul Walker? But was changed due to his death and ironically the original Hitman starring Timothy Olyphant was to be played by Vin Diesel. Would love to see your take and behind the scenes story on both movies
Wait, with the return of Carter, Braga, Johnny Tran… if that’s the original script and they were in middle of filming, does that mean those actors were signed about and soon to start filming?
Furious 7 got delayed so they prob voided the contract after that. Plus it may not be all involved in furious 7 so not sure if they were all signed on at the same time to appear in the same movie.
it would have been so cool to see the original ending to furious 7 and to have paul still with us but life can be very cruel and unfortunately we no longer have paul
I think that even if Paul Walker had lived, Furious 7 could've been the true ending of the franchise. It's too bad that we never got to see it as originally planned. It might be possible that Johnny Tran survived getting shot, maybe his cousin Lance found him. Carter Verone had a grudge against both Brian and Roman. Takashi, aka D.K. would also want payback against Han and Sean. Arturo Braga gets freed from prison to go after Dom, Brian and Gisele. Also, Sean Boswell was originally supposed to join Dom's crew and go after Deckard Shaw. If Paul Walker hadn't gone for a ride in the 2005 Porche Carrera GT during November 2013, the original villain's team-up would have been amazing to see and that could have been the main plot for Fast and Furious 8. If they were to have the original four villains return in 2026 for Furious 11. That would be a huge mistake, because they would be wondering why Brian is in hiding. The only two people that I want to see come back for the final movie, are Jesse and Leon. They could've been the ones to play the main villains of Fast 9 or Fast and Furious 10.
Here's a suggestion for an October video: *The Original Plans* *for "An American Werewolf in Paris"* The first idea was a sequel treatment by the original film creator John Landis which centers on Debbie Klein (an unseen character who was mentioned in the first film) getting a job in London and investigating the deaths of David & Jack. Plus, the characters of Alex Price, Dr. Hirsch & Sgt. McManus were to return as well. Polygram Pictures still wanted to do a sequel, but Landis was unwilling to do a second treatment and told them to make the film without him. Another draft by writer/director John Lafia was about a schoolteacher in Paris who holds forth on good & evil in a class he teaches. He gets attacked by a lycanthrope and goes through the expected changes, while on his trail is Dr. Hirsch from the first film who's working on a werewolf serum. Then there's the original vision (of what became the final film) by Tom Stern & Tim Burns (with Stern himself initially set to be the director) which was about Andy McDermott, a 22-year-old American who is called from his vacation in Spain to Paris, France as his uncle was savaged by a unknown beast in the story's opening. Against the wishes of his uncle's beautiful assistant Serafine, Andy investigates the attack on his uncle, which takes him deep into Paris' underground rave culture, finding himself on psychedelics in a network of creepy underground caves where he is then chased and bitten by a werewolf (later revealed to be Serafine).
Movies 5 & 6 did a great job in changing the formula of the franchise while still focusing on the fast cars and the fact that the characters are street level criminals. Both films had the characters out of their element, while faced with new challenges that tied into the story and their motivations. But movie 7 was the start where they just became action heroes doing spy work when they really didn't have to and suddenly capable of superhero feats.
You got sources for the stuff in the video man? I followed the fast films closely from an industry pov and I have never read anything about Brian asking for his character to be killed off or not wanting to come back for furious seven until meeting James wan. Also saying Sean woulda been the one to drive the car to drift to save Brian in that one scene just sounds far too specific a detail for anyone not directly involved with the film to know. WHERE did you get this info lol. Post your sources
sean not being in f7 is a big miss, dude is arguably the only character who could fill pauls void, that and sean is just dope and i wish he joined the crew regardless
I found FF7 to be a disappointment. Yes the ending montage was real nice. But other than that, it's not that interesting as a movie. 6th one ended with Statham showing up and killing one of the core cast members, thus establishing himself was a real threat. And yet 7 has a forgettable main villain with his own squad of henchmen, and Statham just sort of pops in and out a few times. He should have been the big bad who moves the plot forward, but as it stands, his brother in the last movie was more of a central antagonist than he is. Also, it's a nitpick, but I really think Paul should have had the big hero shot of the movie. You know, when Vin Disel risks his life to attack the grenades to the chopper, I think it should have been Paul who shot at them, thus bringing the main villain down. You know, one last bit of epic teamwork between those two. But instead The Rock got the money shot, despite being in bed for 70% of the movie. I guess he was a bigger star, so he took the honor.
F7 is the last time Fast & Furious fans miss & say “goodbye Paul” 😢 Rest In Peace, Paul Walker (08/12/1973-11/30/2013) 🪦✝️🌄🙏🕊️ 💐 FYI: Fast & Furious franchise won’t be the same without Paul
Another good idea for a future video is *"The Original Plans for ROBOCOP 2"* from the 1987 first script draft called *"ROBOCOP II: The Corporate Wars"* by Edward Neumeier & Michael Miner to the original vision of *"ROBOCOP 2"* from writer Frank Miller (that became the comic book series known as *"Frank Miller's ROBOCOP")* and its original director Tim Hunter
I tried looking for the original ending of fast 7 for years. Where did you get the information of the original script? ❤️ Your channel and great content.
The Tokyo drift movie confused me bc it came out in 2006 but The chronological period of the film is retconned. Tokyo Drift takes place after Fast & Furious 6 and partially, during Furious 7, it was just stupid . A lot of the fans got real confused bc han was in fast 5 but they should’ve never made the installment before they should’ve jus done it between 2011-2013
this is interesting because there was a rumor of paul and vin having a little fall out over creative directions of fast 4 after vin became a producer, very interesting tho
Personally, I still feel F7 should've been a finale to the franchise. That ending was just too perfect.
That's where i end it.
Im still picking Fast 5 cuz all of them finally get the bag and a Happy Ending
(except for the two who went into the casino 💀)
@ZeniV2 yeah, that's fair
I agree. Even though I did watch the last 3 or 4 movies after F7, F7 was the last movie I cared to watch and enjoyed.
Hard to disagree after seeing 8, 9 and 10.
Vin Diesel : Let’s not make sequels to make sure this is a classic
Also Diesel: Makes eight more movies

It would be interesting to see how the F&F franchise would have gone if Paul Walker made the cameo in Tokyo Drift instead of Vin Diesel.

I always pretend he secretly did in the scene where the r34 skyline passes Sean and han before they hit nosd

Paul Walker wanted to do a movie where he played 1. An undercover cop and 2. he got to race cars, so Cohen developed this film for him. The Fast and the Furious ALWAYS started out as street racing.
Paul Walker stated when referring to where the fast franchise has gone, “Now it’s not just a car movie. It’s a heist movie. It’s an action movie. I jokingly ask, ‘Where else is there to go?’ Unless our cars start turning into robots,” he quipped. Even the lead star referred to the original films as racing films.
Rip Paul he was and will always be phenomenal the whole franchise forever love these movies 🙏💯
Paul Walker's career came to an end in 2015
And Vin Diesel's career ended last year
Explain Vins career ending plz
I wish we got this ending 😢
I have a soft spot for these movies.
Fast 5 is peak.
He would've been 51 if he was still alive today. Rest in peace 😢.
There would never be a guy to replace him. He was one of the greats.
Hearing what they originally planned not with the character of Brian but also stuff where Letty secretly had a miscarriage and that was the reason for her regaining back her memories, introducing Brian's father and giving the Tokyo Drift cast more to do makes me wonder how differently the franchise would have received. Because currently the Fast and Furious franchise is seen as a dumb fun popcorn experience but all of these ideas probably would have helped ground it and keep the serious tone in check. Similar to Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Shazam, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight, No Way Home, Shang Chi where on a face value level they look like just generic superhero movies but when watch and analyze them they so much more than that. They have great story telling, relatable characters and well meaning messages that can resonate people. I feel like the Fast and the Furious franchise could have become that as well and in the beginning even when they did outlandish stuff there was still that relatability. We may never know for sure but it's always fun to speculate.
Man, the whole "Sinister Six" angle would've been great. Losing Walker is definitely one of the saddest tragedies ever in the entertainment business.
Well have Paul died, it was pretty hard to navigate after that. Studio still wanted the massive money it generates worldwide. But i thought the original idea was solid. It gave purpose and and actually meaning to characters. It would lessen the plotholes and promote the idea of "diversity" which it was real reason why Fast Five was such a hit. It woulda been better movies than F8, F9, and FX
Always a good day when you upload !!
Amazing work you do. Keep it up 🍻
Gotta admit that original alternate would have been good
james wong was delt a terrible hand with furious 7 im AMAZED the movie came out as good as it did top 3 movies of the franchise for sure
Here's a good idea for a future What Could Have Been:
*"ABOMINABLE"* (1995)
from Universal Pictures
Starring
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Directed by
Peter Hyams or Renny Harlin
Produced by Moshe Diamant
Screenplay by
Troy Neighbors & Steven Fienberg
SUMMARY:
Described as *""Predator"* in the
snow", the story is set in Tibet
where a U.N. task force investigate
the disappearance of Red Cross
workers in the Himalayas, before
Van Damme's character ultimately
goes face-to-face with the
monstrous Abominable Snowman.
😳
I would have liked to see this.
that sounds awesome!
This is literally just Predator again ... but ain't nothing wrong with that.
@@colinmcneil3428 yes, "Predator in the snow", I'd love to see that, and it was fitting considering JCVD was involved in the OG film and even began filming it
Rest in Peace Paul Walker 1973 - 2013. You will be remembered for your performance as Brian in The Fast and Furious.
The idea of Tim Olyphant playing Dom Toretto instead of Vin Diesel…. Is CRAAAAZZZY😂😂😂
this franchise is never gunna die.
Fun fact: my neighbor was really great friends with Paul Walker. he was a card advisor for the film as he owns his own car place. In fact, he used to stay over at his house. The day of the tragedy, my neighbor was supposed to drive the car but Paul Walker said no it was my turn. My neighbor hasn’t really been the same sense and blames himself for the incident. He is still connected with his family and his good friends with his brother. He is not a big fan of the fast and furious movies and said that they’re only making them for money and doesn’t like Vin Diesel.
Thanks for sharing
Walker wasn't even driving
I like how you write your videos. Your ending monologue of dedication to Paul was very respectful. 🙏
Thank you!
Man,i would love to seen these fast and furious over the ones we have,paul and vin were the best of this series,which is why some fans didn't like 2 and 3 back then or 8-10, because didn't either paul or vin. The start this franchise together and dynamic between two were the goat.
Rip paul Walker 😢
Ever since Paul died I've felt his character deserved proper closure. Here's my idea with Braga as the antagonist. Becoming a father made Brian realize how important family is so he searches out his father and discovers he has a younger half brother (played by Cody Walker). While connecting with his brother in the DR (no extradition lol), Braga, who has escaped from prison, finds them and kills Brian. Cody searches out Mia who brings in the whole gang to go after Braga once and for all.
way better than the fast 8-10 we got
would have LOVED to see more of sean in the movie tokyo drifts one of my favourite movies of the franchise
You are so very loved and missed Paul. Your impact is still felt to this day and your absence is felt in the movies. Fast and Furious remains the greatest franchise ever, regardless, though! Thank you for the incredible work you left for us to enjoy, Paulie. 💝
It feels like every movie after Furious 7 was directed by Vin Diesel even though they were directed by F. Gary Gray, Justin Lin and Louis Leterrier respectively it feels like he directed them himself because of the amount of creative control he has on the franchise. Vin Diesel wanted to direct Fate Of The Furious but Universal didn’t like that so they hired F. Gary Gary to direct instead
There was SO much amazing info in this video.. Job well done 👍
The FF franchise jumped the shark hard but they absolutely nailed the send off for Paul Walker.
This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!
R.I.P to Paul Walker man the franchise should have ended with furious 7
Should have ended with Fast 5 actually. It was the perfect ending and the credit scene ruined it, setting up an unnecessary sequel
Brother... I absolutely LOVE your channel. Such insightful information for the biggest film buffs out there just to make us stronger with knowledge given. Thank you & stay majestic, Boss. Til next video.
Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it!
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
This franchise doesn't know when to STOP.
When it is making billions of dollars 🤨 I don’t think you would stop
Bro your videos are amazing
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Very informative video, didn't knew so many things before.
Paul Walker was a great act we will miss you I wonder what your future. Be like. But RIP we miss you.
I grew up watching fast and furious, and im glad the director chose paul to play brian
Paul was not just a person, he was a beloved guy to millions of Fast & Furious fans
wow the original post credits scene would be mind blowing. All those enemies in previous movies.
“Partly inspired by the 1991 film “Point Break…””
The 1987 film “No Man’s Land”: Am I a joke to you?
Great video !!!
Can you do a video about Hitman: Agent 47 that was going to star Paul Walker? But was changed due to his death and ironically the original Hitman starring Timothy Olyphant was to be played by Vin Diesel.
Would love to see your take and behind the scenes story on both movies
I can look into it
@@Bulletsandblockbusters Awesome. New follower here. Love your channel and content.
Welcome aboard and thank you!
Wait, with the return of Carter, Braga, Johnny Tran… if that’s the original script and they were in middle of filming, does that mean those actors were signed about and soon to start filming?
Furious 7 got delayed so they prob voided the contract after that. Plus it may not be all involved in furious 7 so not sure if they were all signed on at the same time to appear in the same movie.
it would have been so cool to see the original ending to furious 7 and to have paul still with us but life can be very cruel and unfortunately we no longer have paul
I actually would have liked Cole Hauser back for a sequel. He was one of my favourite villains in the series
We will miss you, Paul Walker.
I think that even if Paul Walker had lived, Furious 7 could've been the true ending of the franchise. It's too bad that we never got to see it as originally planned. It might be possible that Johnny Tran survived getting shot, maybe his cousin Lance found him. Carter Verone had a grudge against both Brian and Roman. Takashi, aka D.K. would also want payback against Han and Sean. Arturo Braga gets freed from prison to go after Dom, Brian and Gisele. Also, Sean Boswell was originally supposed to join Dom's crew and go after Deckard Shaw. If Paul Walker hadn't gone for a ride in the 2005 Porche Carrera GT during November 2013, the original villain's team-up would have been amazing to see and that could have been the main plot for Fast and Furious 8. If they were to have the original four villains return in 2026 for Furious 11. That would be a huge mistake, because they would be wondering why Brian is in hiding. The only two people that I want to see come back for the final movie, are Jesse and Leon. They could've been the ones to play the main villains of Fast 9 or Fast and Furious 10.
Wow, i didn't know the producer had asked Paul Walker about this role almost a year before starting the first one.
Do make one video on "The Original plans for the Incredibles"
This almost made me cry bro I really fw Paul walker bro I was soo hurt when my mom told me after school my favorite actor died from F&F
Here's a suggestion for an October
video: *The Original Plans*
*for "An American Werewolf in Paris"*
The first idea was a sequel treatment
by the original film creator John Landis which centers on Debbie Klein (an unseen character who was mentioned in the first film) getting a job in London and investigating the deaths of David & Jack. Plus, the characters of Alex Price, Dr. Hirsch & Sgt. McManus were to return as well. Polygram Pictures still wanted to do a sequel, but Landis was unwilling to do a second treatment and told them to make the film without him.
Another draft by writer/director
John Lafia was about a schoolteacher
in Paris who holds forth on good
& evil in a class he teaches. He gets
attacked by a lycanthrope and goes
through the expected changes,
while on his trail is Dr. Hirsch from the
first film who's working on a werewolf serum.
Then there's the original vision (of
what became the final film) by
Tom Stern & Tim Burns (with Stern
himself initially set to be the director)
which was about Andy McDermott,
a 22-year-old American who is called
from his vacation in Spain to Paris,
France as his uncle was savaged by a
unknown beast in the story's opening.
Against the wishes of his uncle's
beautiful assistant Serafine, Andy
investigates the attack on his uncle,
which takes him deep into Paris'
underground rave culture, finding
himself on psychedelics in a network
of creepy underground caves where
he is then chased and bitten by a werewolf (later revealed to be Serafine).
Rip Paul Walker🙏🏾
Paul Walker dated a 17 year old named Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell when he was 33, stop mourning a pedophile.
This all sounds really good
Movies 5 & 6 did a great job in changing the formula of the franchise while still focusing on the fast cars and the fact that the characters are street level criminals. Both films had the characters out of their element, while faced with new challenges that tied into the story and their motivations. But movie 7 was the start where they just became action heroes doing spy work when they really didn't have to and suddenly capable of superhero feats.
I see a post by Bullets and Blockbuster….. I click! 📱 😃👍
I still missed Paul Walker (Brian O'Connor).
is it possible to make such a video about the dc's wonder twins movie which never got made?
You got sources for the stuff in the video man? I followed the fast films closely from an industry pov and I have never read anything about Brian asking for his character to be killed off or not wanting to come back for furious seven until meeting James wan. Also saying Sean woulda been the one to drive the car to drift to save Brian in that one scene just sounds far too specific a detail for anyone not directly involved with the film to know.
WHERE did you get this info lol. Post your sources
Good bro love this
sean not being in f7 is a big miss, dude is arguably the only character who could fill pauls void, that and sean is just dope and i wish he joined the crew regardless
I found FF7 to be a disappointment. Yes the ending montage was real nice. But other than that, it's not that interesting as a movie. 6th one ended with Statham showing up and killing one of the core cast members, thus establishing himself was a real threat. And yet 7 has a forgettable main villain with his own squad of henchmen, and Statham just sort of pops in and out a few times. He should have been the big bad who moves the plot forward, but as it stands, his brother in the last movie was more of a central antagonist than he is. Also, it's a nitpick, but I really think Paul should have had the big hero shot of the movie. You know, when Vin Disel risks his life to attack the grenades to the chopper, I think it should have been Paul who shot at them, thus bringing the main villain down. You know, one last bit of epic teamwork between those two. But instead The Rock got the money shot, despite being in bed for 70% of the movie. I guess he was a bigger star, so he took the honor.
F7 is the last time Fast & Furious fans miss & say “goodbye Paul” 😢
Rest In Peace, Paul Walker (08/12/1973-11/30/2013) 🪦✝️🌄🙏🕊️ 💐
FYI: Fast & Furious franchise won’t be the same without Paul
Even after all these years, I’ve actually never seen any Fast & Furious movie
Dont
If you do stop at furious 7. The only last good F&F film.
I've only seen the first one. It's good but not good enough to have so many sequels.
No one...Gives an absolute fuck pal.
Fast Five is actually the best one in the franchise as a film
Tokyo Drift is the best if you love cars
But yeah the first 2 are kinda overrated
I would of loved to see the old villains come back 😩
I hate that he is gone, But I love the Franchise and ow they continue to add new stars. I would imagine Paul would want this
Another good idea for a future video
is
*"The Original Plans for ROBOCOP 2"*
from the 1987 first script draft called
*"ROBOCOP II: The Corporate Wars"*
by Edward Neumeier & Michael Miner
to
the original vision of *"ROBOCOP 2"*
from writer Frank Miller
(that became the comic book series
known as *"Frank Miller's ROBOCOP")*
and its original director Tim Hunter
With Beetlejuice 2 coming out, this would be the perfect time to talk about Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian.
I always thought paul was the og hero not vin diseal
Can you please make a video of few lost versions of the Sonic movies?
Redline is also a pretty solid racing movie. It would've been cool if they got to work on it more.
I tried looking for the original ending of fast 7 for years. Where did you get the information of the original script? ❤️ Your channel and great content.
Thanks! I was able to get my hands on the script
Damn this ending should be in the Fast XX
Vin diesel had 3 chances to get the franchise back on track. I would of loved this ending@@matthewdaley746
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again😢
Paul Walker is the real mc of the franchise even if he's not there, brain> dom
What's the source for the original ending? Are there scripts online or interviews with writers?
I wonder how far Vin will go with the "Brian o conner cameos" at the end of the movies. I can totally see him use a CGI Brian in 10-2.
The Tokyo drift movie confused me bc it came out in 2006 but The chronological period of the film is retconned. Tokyo Drift takes place after Fast & Furious 6 and partially, during Furious 7, it was just stupid . A lot of the fans got real confused bc han was in fast 5 but they should’ve never made the installment before they should’ve jus done it between 2011-2013
That means that Tokyo drift takes place in 2015 lmao
this is interesting because there was a rumor of paul and vin having a little fall out over creative directions of fast 4 after vin became a producer, very interesting tho
I still like the theory where Sean's dad from Tokyo Drift is Brian's dad and having different mothers, making them half brothers.
