These lads don't even lift...

These lads don’t even lift…

JOE has something of a love/hate relationship with the Fast and Furious films, mainly because we loved some of them and hated the others.

In our opinion, the franchise started off well but descended into complete nonsensical car porn, not that there is anything wrong with that, but the crazy stunts actually became more believable than some of the characters.

The franchise badly needed to change gears and the introduction of The Rock in Fast Five was a stroke of genius.

Fast & Furious 6 carried on the momentum from the previous instalment and our interest in Furious 7 grew once we found out that JOE hero Kurt Russell and Jason Statham are going to be in it along with series regulars Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris.

Take a look at this future smackdown of epic proportions as The Rock goes toe-to-toe The Stath aka the series’ new bad guy Ian Shaw.

If that wasn’t enough to get the adrenalin pumping then the studio have also released some glimpses of the upcoming fights, cars and locations.
