Universal Studios | 2001-2006 | 317 mins | Rated PG-13 | Mar 24, 2009
The Fast and the Furious Trilogy(2001-2006)Action | Crime | Drama | Thriller     'The Fast and the Furious' - Dominic Toretto drives the streets of LA like he owns them. As far as his crew is concerned, he does. He spends his days rebuilding high performance race cars and perfecting the art of computer controlled fuel injection. By night, Dom pockets up to $10,000 each time someone dares to race him in his own earth-bound rocket of a car. Dom lives off of the adrenaline of street car racing and his fans treat him like a rock star. Brian particularly looks up to Dominic and seeks his approval, but to the rest of the crowd, he's white bread. After a blazing encounter with the ruthless Johnny Tran, Dom decides to take Brian under his wing. Dom's sister Mia sees something she likes in Brian, too. Trouble is, neither of them realize he's an undercover cop and Dominic and his rival Johnny Tran are both the leading suspects in a case involving dirty money and big-rig hijacking. '2 Fast 2 Furious' - Speed--it's easy to get and it's as close as the nearest set of high- performance wheels. Brian O'Connor, now a disgraced cop, fell victim to it--and now he's paying the price. As far as his bosses and the FBI brass are concerned, the hothead undercover officer threw one of their largest investigations ever. After losing his badge and any chance of redemption along with it, O'Connor is given one last chance when the feds in Miami need his help to collar Carter Verone, a flashy businessman whose using his import/ export business as a cover for an international money laundering cartel. Cutoms has had Verone under intense surveillance for over a year with nothing more to show for it than the kingpin's link to illegal street racing. With their backs against the wall and time running out, officials put out a call for O'Connor to do what he does best--talk the talk and push the metal. But the rule-breaking loner has his own demands before taking on the job. He insists on recruiting his childhood friend and ex-con Roman Pearce as his partner. The Feds and Agent Markham offer Pearce, an accomplished criminal with an aptitude for barrier- shattering speed, a deal--work with O'Connor and his impressive rap sheet will disappear. Now, it's last chance for both, ex-con and ex-cop, and their ticket out of disgrace is bringing down Verone. But the lines become blurred once again for O'Connor with the appearance of undercover agent Monica Fuentes, the key to entering Verone's world who may herself be in bed with the shady entrepreneur. 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' - Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor. But it doesn't take long for him to find some action when a fellow American buddy, Twinkie, introduces him to the underground world of drift racing. Sean's simple drag racing gets replaced by a rubber-burning, automotive art form with an exhilarating balance of speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of hairpin turns and switchbacks. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean's loss comes at a high price tag when he's forced to work off the debt under the thumb of ex-pat, Han. Han soon welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduces him to the real principles of drifting. But when Sean falls for D.K.'s girlfriend, Neela, an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with a high stakes face off.

The film offers a stark contrast between numerous daytime and nighttime sequences, both offering viewers stellar imagery and marking a noticeable improvement over the original DVD release. The film is very colorful, and from the bright green paint job on O'Conner's racer seen near the beginning of the film to the subtly-golden and slightly smoggy tint of the L.A. backgrounds, the film covers a broad spectrum of colors, all of which are sharp, clear, and eye-popping throughout. Detail is also above-average; the brighter, daytime scenes in particular reveal plenty of fine detail across the board. Flesh tones tend to the red ever so slightly, and black levels are good. A layer of film grain covers the image and its retention adds a nice finishing touch to a solid transfer. The Fast and the Furious makes for a nice, stable, good-looking image, the Blu-ray never faltering no matter the material thrown its way. 2 Fast 2 Furious Rating: 4.5/5 2 Fast 2 Furious pulls into Blu-ray with an excellent 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. The print is crystal-clear, free of any blemishes, with a thin layer of film grain enhancing the image. Detail is extraordinarily sharp and colors are equally vibrant, jumping off the screen in most every scene. The image is sufficiently rendered so as to offer an eye-catching "popping" effect that allows the image to come to life in many of the brighter daytime sequences. Like its predecessor, the action often shifts between bright, sun-drenched outdoor daytime sequences and dark nighttime segments. Both are equally good, with the darker shots offering deep, inky blacks and plenty of visible detail in the darker corners of the screen. Flesh tones also appear accurate throughout the picture and in every lighting condition. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Rating: 5/5 The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift arrives on Blu-ray with a pristine 1080p transfer framed inside a 2.35:1 window. This is an incredibly colorful film. The purple jerseys of the American football players and the red of the Dodge Viper as seen at the beginning of the film both sparkle. The race through the housing development looks incredible, with all the dust, unfinished houses, random building equipment, and heavy machinery appearing crisp and nicely detailed, even from a distance or in a blur. Of course, the image only picks up once it reaches the bright lights of Tokyo. Colors remain bold and pleasing to the eye, detail is natural, flesh tones are accurate, and blacks are deep. The cars positively sparkle, the sheen of their glossy paint having that straight-out-of-the-showroom glow, until the dangerous world of drifting takes its toll on the bodies. Film grain is present but noticed only minimally at normal viewing distances. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is another first-class transfer from Universal. The Fast and the Furious Trilogy Blu-ray, Audio Quality  The Fast and the Furious Rating: 5/5 The Fast and the Furious hits the accelerator and never lets up in this oftentimes awe-inspiring DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Bass is heavy and deep in practically every instance where it is called upon, from the pounding beats of the score to the revving of the engines of the speeding vehicles that scream across the soundstage and put sound systems through a 100-minute boot camp. The opening attack on a tractor-trailer sets the tone for the remainder of the movie. "Fast" and "furious" aptly describe the action as it unfolds; cars and a heavy 18-wheeler speed through the soundstage, seemingly breaking up everything in their paths. It's easily a pedal-to-the-metal experience that never lets up the rest of the way. Every RPM, every squeal of the tire, every explosion, and every gunshot rings out with both vigor and clarity, bombarding the soundstage with plenty of automotive and action-packed sonic excitement, all of it emanating from every corner of the listening area. Rounded out by uniformly strong dialogue reproduction, The Fast and the Furious makes for another reference-quality soundtrack from Universal. 2 Fast 2 Furious Rating: 5/5 2 Fast 2 Furious races onto Blu-ray with another hard-hitting DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack from Universal. Similar to the first, this track is highlighted by tremendous levels of bass and sweeping sound that maneuver effortlessly all across the soundstage to great effect. Bass is positively punishing at reference volume, no matter its source. The crunching of fenders, the clanking of metal, and the squealing of tires during the film's most intense racing scenes all come through with clarity and precision. Surround speakers are used to great effect throughout; the listener becomes positively engulfed in the film's raucous yet amazingly clear sound design. Topped off by pitch-perfect dialogue reproduction, 2 Fast 2 Furious makes for another reference-quality Blu-ray soundtrack. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Rating: 5/5 The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift skids onto Blu-ray with a full-throttle DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. From the beats of the opening music onward, the track never disappoints. It's spacious, crisp, and aggressive, but not overly so. It's a natural, engulfing presentation that ranks with the best of the best the format currently has to offer. The rumbling of the engines in the first Tokyo-based race positively devastate the listening area, the bass packing an incredible wallop that shakes the entire room. The track often creates a wholly immersive 360-degree sound field, making sure to utilize every square inch of each speaker. This is a track that must be heard to be truly experienced. With perfect dialogue reproduction, this is easily the best of a trio of fantastic soundtracks and one of the finest currently available on Blu-ray.
