I was never a big fan of the “Fast and Furious” franchise ’cause I find the franchise a bit overrated and nothing special. They all seem the same to me… just fast cars and hot women all over those films. Just your typical popcorn action films with bad writing. I didn’t see all “Fast and Furious” films but only very few of them. I did see the last “Fast and Furious” movie, “Fast 6” in a theater and I actually kind of liked that one admittedly.
With all this being said, Paul Walker’s death yesterday was tragic and a huge shock. I had a hard time believing it at first ’cause you know how “celebrity death hoaxes” are big on the internet these days. Turns out this death wasn’t a hoax at all and turned out to be real. His coroner confirmed it and so has his lawyers/publicists. He was mysteriously killed in a car crash and explosion which is kind of weird ’cause that’s something that you see in the “F & F” films.
He was a great actor though, and a talented man… I always respected him even if I wasn’t a fan of “F & F” films. He was good in other movie roles though like “Running Scared”, “Joy Ride”, and “The Lazarus Project”. Those were great films.
Now we gotta wait for official word on what’s gonna happen with “Fast and Furious 7”. They were still in the middle of filming the movie. Not sure how much Paul filmed the new film. Not sure if they plan on continuing without him. I’m sure the film makers will continue on without him ’cause I’m sure that’s what Paul would have wanted. The movie wasn’t really made for him anyway as Paul was just a co-star. Will Vin Diesel be willing to continue to make these movies without, Paul?
This is sad and tragic. Paul was a young guy, 40. Too young to go. He has a young 15 year old daughter named Meadow and this is gonna be tough on her ’cause she’s gonna have to grow up without her father now.
