1. Drag Racing & Hormones 9 2021
Director: Lin Yibin
Writers: Dan Casey / Gary Scott Thompson
Starring: Van Diesel
As Universal Pictures' longest-lived film series, when the first "Fast and Furious" with an investment of $38 million in 2001 grossed $207 million worldwide, no one thought that the series would last for 20 years.
In the past 20 years, the series has produced a total of 9 canons plus a sequel, which was originally considered a classic IP development template.
When The Fast and the Furious first film was released, it was just a B-grade film with an investment of $38 million.
But by "Fast and Furious 5", the film has been transformed by Lin Yibin into a super action blockbuster with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars, IMDB 7.3, and Douban 8.5.
In a sense, the real pinnacle of the series is undoubtedly Fast & Furious 7.
Shortly after filming began, lead actor Paul Walker died in an accident at the age of 40.
Sentiment + good quality control, so that the film grossed $1.515 billion, becoming the 20th film in film history to break $1 billion, the highest series so far, and also the top ten box office in world film history.
By Super 8, the film's cost had reached $250 million, and it had grossed more than $1.235 billion worldwide.
The past eight films in the series have generally remained solid.
However, the return of Lin Yibin, the brilliant founder of the series, did not create a miracle, but created a bunch of slots:
Completely let a B-grade film with the theme of drag racing become a drag racing film in outer space, integrating racing, science fiction, espionage, and adventure.
The film apparently abandons logic completely in the ninth part,
Donald can fly a "swing" to escape, the protagonist wearing an old-fashioned spacesuit to drive into space crashed a satellite, not only unscathed but also rubbed the French astronaut's spacecraft back to Earth.
Some netizens suggested that the next one may wish to be directly called "Fast and Furious 10: Star Wars", or let the film and the reunion linkage, so that the flying car family can directly kill outer space.

2. "Speed, Wind flow" 2013
Director: Ron Howard
Writers: Pete Morgan
Starring: Chris Hemsworth
RUSH is based on the true story of Austrian F1 racer Nikki Lauda and British racer James Hunt in a 1970s duel.
At the beginning of the film, the vibration brought about by the roar of the motor gives people a feeling of blood spurting.
Many of the competition scenes are wonderful, although it is only 2D, the sense of speed, the excitement of racing in the rain and the bloody impact scene have a very strong sense of picture and audiovisual impact.
Howard cleverly highlights the drama of the film and tells the saga of two legendary drivers very well.
The pace is bright, the conflict is strong, the attention to detail, the details are carefully reminiscent, and the small plots in the play have their intentions.
Chris has changed the relatively single and decent hero image in Marvel movies, playing this competitive, flamboyant, excellent racing talent, and uninhibited playboy with flesh and blood, and a very layered feeling.
Daniel accurately performs the Germanic rigidity, rigor, rationality, meticulousness, endless pursuit of technology, and extraordinary self-discipline.
The film was highly praised by F1 industry insiders, and it received standing applause in a "jury" of real drivers, team leaders and team bosses.
3. "Speed Car King" 2019
Directed By: James Mangold
Writers: Jace Butterworth
Starring: Matt Damon
As the title suggests, it is full of extreme restoration of speed and a delicate portrayal of the car-making process.
Detroit's factory assembly lines and Moldena's workshops, Le Mans' night foggy tracks and country lanes, wrenches and steering wheels, acceleration, corners, impacts and burns,
With a steady narrative and dazzling editing, "Speed King" takes the audience into the first perspective behind the windshield, drilling into the chassis of the car to listen to the roar of the engine.
The three races in "The King of Speed" and the countless tests between the races rely on immersive photography, sound effects and editing to create a physiological sense of speed.
This film is not a visual spectacle for speed advocates, not just a competitive movie with adrenaline as the first protagonist,
It's also a character-first biopic, a period film with rich details, a feature film full of humor and twists.
Damon and Bell, whose performances in this film are phenomenal.
Just like the relationship between the two characters, the two film emperor-level actors did not seize the screen time at all, or had the tendency to "play", and some were just loose nature without performance traces.
4. Death Speed, 2008
Director: Paul Anderson
Writers: Paul Anderson
Starring: Jason Statham
The film is a remake of the 1975 cult film Deadly Run 2000, produced by Roger Coeman and starring Sylvester Stallone.
The script was drastically changed to be the same as before.
The entire story takes place in prison, adding more violence and darkness to the film.
Judging from the filming and production process of the entire film, the quality of the film is not particularly sophisticated.
But the bloodthirsty prisoners in the film are driving a speeding car equipped with heavy weapons, and the sense of speed and the impact of the wild bombardment are bound to fill the beginning and end of the film, and this gimmick alone is enough to be a reason for us to watch.
The sound of engines, brakes and ammunition firing almost from beginning to end inflates people's auditory nerves, and with the sharp rhythm of the picture into the eyeballs, penetrates into the heart, blood, hard texture is so real that you can not sit on the sofa, the car chase is not a car chase but to hang your life on two high-speed moving iron blocks.
The choreographer and director repeatedly emphasized the restoration of the rough image texture of the 1970s, in order to see the picture scrape out the audience's adrenaline like a tin sheet, so that their blood veins are spurting.
5. "Desperate Express" 2002
Director: Louis Letryl / Yuankui
Writers: Luc Besson / Robert Mark Carmen
"Very Human Trafficker" combines the superb skills of two big-name filmmakers, Yuan Kui and Luc Besson, a Hong Kong martial arts expert who has been involved in the production of 43 films, which is his first English-language film.
Luc Besson is a world-class action filmmaker who likes to pull action hero characters together with beautiful young women, which is evident in his "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" and "The Fifth Element".
Especially skillful and compact rhythm control and excellent action design, especially the fusion of Western techniques and Chinese martial arts, action design has become a rare highlight of the film.
This is undoubtedly due to the directing of Yuan Kui, in which the film also successfully portrayed another iron-blooded tough guy in Hollywood- Jason Statham.
6. "Speed 60 Seconds" 2000
Director: Dominic Senna
Writers: Scott Rosenberg
Starring: Nicholas Cage
This film can be boiled down to classic movies, if you are a veteran classic sports car fan.
If not, it can basically be classified as a fairly average action movie.
To create the climactic ending of the film, it took Stunt coordinator Chuck Pacini and his assistant Johnny Martin and director Senna months to come up with the final shooting plan.
During their preparations for the role, Cage, Rebisi and Julie all received professional driving training.
After selecting 50 stolen vehicles, the producers brought in three undercover detectives in the car theft case and a rehabilitated car thief as technical consultants.
Art director Jeff Mann brought in tuning expert Ray Cleridge to create 11 replicas of the Shelby GT 500 to complete different shooting intents.
The film reinterprets the brotherhood of blood thicker than water in a more contemporary way, the storyline is wonderful and tense, and it is full of human brilliance, and the ultra-long car chase scene makes a deep impression.
