Fast and Furious DVD release 21/09/09.



The fourth movie in The Fast and the Furious franchise, "Fast & Furious" is released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 21st September 2009, which at the box-office, Fast & Furious made twice as much as any of the earlier movies, taking £13.5m.


VIN DIESEL (xXx, Pitch Black) and PAUL WALKER (Running Scared, Flags of Our Fathers,) head back to the mean streets of L.A., where they rejoin MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ (Lost, Resident Evil) and JORDANA BREWSTER (Chuck, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars along the crowded streets and across international lines.

Eight years ago international ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) committed himself to a fugitive existence, successfully hijacking fuel tankers in the Dominican Republic, with the sole remnant of his past, girlfriend Letty. When a tragic death brings him back to L.A., Dom reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner (Walker), as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, the notorious drug lord trafficking heroin across the US / Mexico border.

Dom and Brian must accept an uncertain new trust if they hope to avenge the tragedy that has ripped their lives apart and get the answers they are so desperately looking for. Infiltrating the underground network pushes these unlikely allies to the brink of their racing capabilities to earn a spot on a heist squad. Racing through the almost un-navigable tunnels carved into the caves, against the clock before the border control can identify a security breach, Dom and Brian become part of the cartel who hold the answers to Letty’s death.

I loved "The Fast and the Furious", avoided "2 Fast 2 Furious" because of the grammar in the title, and only caught "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" because it was on in a hotel I was staying in and I couldn't sleep. However, now that the original cast are back and having seen the footage of the crew stealing oil from a travelling tanker on a mountain road, I can't wait to get my hands on this. Vin Diesel made the original, so it's good he's finally back, albeti he did have a small cameo at the end of Tokyo Drift.
