Bonus, Hobbs and Shaw: The main villain is a cybernetically-enhanced super soldier and the heroes have to stop a deadly virus from killing billions.

God I love this fuckin' series.

Watch them all if you haven't, they're incredibly entertaining.

    It's kind of weird, only the odd-numbered ones are actually good, but they all get worse by equivalent amounts as the series goes on.

    Obviously 1, 3, and 5 are amazing in descending order, and 7 is pretty solid.

    2 is the best of the even-numbered duds since they jump a car onto a boat at the end and Ludacris is in it, and but there's still an equivalent quality backslide from that point through 4, 6, and 8 despite all of them being worse than all the ones in between.

    I need to watch all of them again in order to confirm this, but since I always watch them now while playing a drinking game that involves drinking continuously for the entire duration of any drift, I'll probably be too fucked up after Tokyo Drift to make an objective judgement.

      having not seen any of these movies, i assume all of this is true, and will now fight to the death anyone that disagrees. and also that playing that drinking game while watching a movie with the word drift in the title will result in you dying before the opening credits have finished

        Surprisingly, it doesn't actually get intense until the parking garage chase about 2/3 of the way through, but there's a bit after that where at least one car is drifting on screen for ~3mins straight, so it's more of an endurance race really.
