Surprising Things Happen When You Watch 6 Fast and Furious Films in a Row

If I had to watch one more overwrought Vin Diesel scene featuring his Dom Toretto growling, sad-eyed and solemn, about the importance of family, I might have disowned my own just out of spite. But after speeding through these films with the fast-burning intensity of a nitrous-infused engine, I can now understand the appeal of this series, which has made $1.5 billion so far and shows no signs of slowing down. Not only that, I’ll likely turn out eagerly for the next installment.

Unseen photos from Point Blank part 5

From Michel Ciment’s excellent biography “John Boorman”, the director remembers scouting this location and finding his inspiration for the scene: “While I was out location hunting, I discovered the excavator, an incredible machine used for digging graves. It used to be that, no matter how useless your life had been, it would at least give a gravedigger a day’s work to dig your grave. For me, that summed up American life. It struck me as the greatest of all betrayals: digging a grave in ten minutes with a mechanical spade.” —the edit room floor

Unseen photos from Point Blank part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4

Walter Hill just mentioned recently how much Point Blank screenplay by Alex Jacobs influenced him.
