Although trekking out to a movie theater to watch Vin Diesel wrestle syllables for two hours was not something we recommended, The Fast and the Furious is one of those movies that makes great home viewing. Crank up the subwoofer and wait for the squeal of tires on asphalt, because, while the plot is lamer than CHiPs, the action scenes are decent enough to warrant repeat viewings.
The rest of the DVD is no slouch, either (all together now: Dont sell yourself short, Judge. Youre a tremendous slouch.). While the inclusion of the Racer X article that inspired the movie goes a long way to explaining the allure of hopped-up Pokécars, it banks on the viewers willingness to read their TV screen. Sorry, but that wears thin real quick. The best of the supplemental materials is the informative, but brief, Featurette on Editing for the MPAA, which offers a unique glimpse into how shots are altered in order to maintain certain ratings. For mindless, speaker-blowing entertainment, this is a good disc.
