Profit
Hi guys, I am going to delete the profit column. Profit is not gross - budget. That would not include costs such as marketing + distribution. Also gross does not include DVD/Blu-ray revenue as well. Because of this, profit is completely erroneous. I'll do the changes in a few days. If anyone objects, speak up. Yialanliu (talk) 02:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Naming
Nice article. Good job. I'm just wondering, shouldn't it be named "The Fast and the Furious (series)"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrStalker (talk • contribs) 21:05, February 8, 2008
- Thanks, I've considered doing this since it kept popping up at AFD, so I figured this would be a fairly acceptable substitute, no matter how the fourth film's article proceeds. I'm not sure about the use of parentheses, though. I don't think there is a standard. While there is Spider-Man film series, Batman film series, and Superman film series, there's also Pirates of the Caribbean (film series). Do you have any substantive opinion about why parentheses should be used? I think that both capture the general idea, though I guess I would prefer no parentheses because for examples like Batman and Superman, we don't call the overall series Batman or Superman. I think we've avoided calling them "Batman films" or "Superman films" because there are other films related to it, especially animated ones. For this film, there's a 1955 film, but it's not connected to the 21st century ones. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, the only thing I could find about is this, which says it should be named "Film Title (film series)". I don't know if the parentheses matters so much though, but if you follow the guideline by word I guess the article should be named "The Fast and the Furious (film series)". At WP:VG, where I do most of my contributions, we say that the disabmig. always should be as short as possible, hence just the "(series)". But that's our guideline so per WP:FILM it should be "(film series)". --MrStalker (talk) 09:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- My last point to make is if we actually reference the article itself in another article, we have to rewrite in the piped link to exclude parentheses. (Though I guess we could call it "the film series The Fast and the Furious...) Feel free to make the move with the naming conventions. Perhaps the other ones need addressing; I've just been accustomed to that setup, so I emulated it here. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 14:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's probably best to follow WP:NCF. Page moved. --MrStalker (talk) 15:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Future film
Also, I'm not sure about using {{Future film}} in the article, as it's technically not an upcoming film. It's a project in development with people figuring out what resources and how much of it to invest at this point. There are quite a few films that have been in development for quite some time, yet they can't truly be called "upcoming" as they don't get across the threshold to actually be made. Couple of examples off the top of my head are Logan's Run (2010 film) and Fahrenheit 451 (2009 film). —Erik (talk • contrib) - 14:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I'll remove the template. --MrStalker (talk) 15:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
I added a new section titled "Future" with some references. CollisionCourse (talk) 12:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Sequal name
i changes the name in the characters section from 5 fast 5 furious there is no official source stating that this is the name until there is an official source about the name it has been changed to unnamed sequal —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diesal 11 (talk • contribs) 04:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
CHRONOLOGY
Tokyo Drift would have to be the last movie because Han's character will be present in Fast Five.
JBLING316 (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC) I WAS WONDERING WHY THE 5TH MOVIE OF "THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS" IN THE CHRONOLOGY AREA IS AFTER "THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT"?? JBLING316 (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC) PUT IT THIS WAY:
THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS (NOT IN JAIL) 2 FAST AND 2 FURIOUS (NOT IN JAIL) FAST AND FURIOUS (IS PUT IN JAIL) TOKYO DRIFT (IS IN MOVIE) THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS:FIFTH GEAR(?) (IS OBVIOUSLY MOST LIKELY RELEASED FROM JAIL)
JBLING316 (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC) ACCORDING TO THIS CHRONOLOGY HOW CAN DOM GO FROM BEING IN JAIL AT THE END OF FAST AND FURIOUS TO BEING OUT OF JAIL DURING TOKYO DRIFT BUT YET BEING RELEASED(MOST LIKELY) FROM JAIL IN THE 5TH MOVIE OF THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS??JBLING316 (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)Cite error: There are <ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
Remember they are breaking Dom out of jail at the end of Fast and Furious. He is on the run in Fast Five, and I presume he is on the run in Tokyo Drift because at the end he says "I got nothing but time". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.3.194 (talk) 05:24, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

In Fast 5 they drive Dodge Charger 2011. So, Tokyo Drift is set in the future? - Claudio —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.234.139.66 (talk) 12:53, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Better Luck Tomorrow
Can people interested in the franchise please come to Template talk:The Fast and the Furious and discuss the appropriateness or inappropriateness of a link to Better Luck Tomorrow in that navbox?
Thank you, Amalthea 08:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Chronology
Has anyone considered the possibility that Tokyo Drift actually takes place not AFTER Fast and Furious, but DURING it? It would play out like this: The opening of Fast and Furious, with Dom, Han and crew are hijacking the fuel tankers. After they all split up, there is an undefined period of time until we rejoin Dom in Panama City. Who's to say that he wasn't roaming the world during this undefined time, and that the events of Tokyo Drift take place during this interval in the film? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.158.127 (talk) 18:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Once Again Han's character dies in tokyo drift. Han's character is in the fifth movie, if you check out the pics on set Han is clearly in the movie. He is also listed on wikipedia as starring in fast five. Therefore unless Han's character faked his death in Tokyo Drift, Fast Five must take place before Tokyo Drift.
QUESTION: Given the name of the film "Faster" and the appearance of actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in both "Faster" and "Fast Five", would it be of interest to mention that "Faster" is NOT related to this film series at all? I know I had some confusion about this on a personal level.

The fast & furious is awesome! I wish and hope they don't stop making the movies. I am the biggest fan of the fast & furious film series! I know every movie word for word and the movies are so addicting I watch them over and over again!
-THE BIGGEST FAN ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.213.198.2 (talk) 16:27, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
- Claudio Hi Folks, in Fast 5 they drive Dodge Charger 2011. So, is Tokyo Drift set in the future? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.234.139.66 (talk) 12:57, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
I added a comment saying the chronology should be removed because it seems people are assuming that Tokyo Drift is the last film. I would agree with that given Han's death. On one hand I feel this is how it should be but is that merely speculation seeing as Letty's character died in Fast & Furious, but she is known to be alive after the credits of Fast Five. I only bring this up because my comment I posted was deleted without so much as a reason. I would just like to know is it ok to setup the page as the timeline chronology? Or should it be setup by release? I do agree that Tokyo drift is probably set ahead of these films but I feel I am only speculating! Please let me know what you think. 199.245.32.210 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:47, 23 May 2011 (UTC).
Order of Films
It is mentioned in the section "Film Series in Chronological Order" that the films are not shown in order by release date, but how events actually occurred. This is false. The films are discussed in order of release date. Which one should be edited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.160.63.107 (talk) 20:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation
About the disambiguation page of the films, on the disambiguation the 2013 movie is not yet referenced but here it is, its somewhat confusing. And since I never joined any wiki projects, I have no idea how to bring it to the disambiguation projects attention. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fast_and_the_Furious < Jasperwillem (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
