Quarter Mile at a Time" (9:44) is an interesting little featurette on long history of street racing. It does what it sets out to do without a whole lot of fanfare, and it's still fairly enjoyable, despite my having seen it several times. Only the bonus features on the newly-produced Disc 2 are subtitled in English, French and Spanish, which is lame. The DVD refers to them as "extended", but that just means they're additions to scenes that made it into the movie.

Storyboard-to-Screen Comparisons (7:45) may be worth a look, although I didn't find them too interesting. It's not rocket science: given the basic details, either you want to see The Fast and the Furious or you don't, and there isn't a whole lot of middle ground.

When it comes to the artistic merits of The Fast and the Furious, he's pretty pretentious (he even compares it to West Side Story at one point), but the rest of the time, he has plenty of information to share on the plot, characters and directing style, and there aren't too many dead spots. Cohen pulls off some eye-popping action scenes, which are arguably the movie's strongest selling point.

Synopsis: Disc 1: Los Angeles police officer Brian O'Connor must decide where his loyalties really lie when he becomes enamoured with the street racing world he has been sent undercover to destroy. There are a good deal of both driving and physical stunts that are pretty impressive, and although he bathes the racing footage with computer graphics (apparently going fast isn't enough to put the audience behind the wheel), nine times out of ten you get to watch real stuntmen and women doing their thing. The films focus on heists, street racing, and spies, engrossing a generation of cinema-goers in its unmatched depiction of modern action tropes, with an underlying motif relating to the bond of family. The film also represents one of the better efforts in the three guys' respective catalogs, and I can't say I can think of a better car-based action film that's been made since, and while neither is a huge compliment, I guess that counts for something.Boswell inevitably gets drawn into the racing and the complexities of the underworld which surround it. It's like a sweet, pimped-out import car with a lot of NOS and a Power Wheels engine under the hood: looks good, moves fast, and doesn't have a lot of substance.

There is also a bit of bonus audio on the deleted scenes menu where Cohen talks about the nature of deleted scenes in general. But as the rivals head for a showdown on the streets of London, Toretto learns that Shaw's second in command is none other than his presumed dead former lover, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). Disc 3: Alabama teenager Sean Boswell becomes a major competitor in the world of drift racing after moving in with his father in Tokyo to avoid a jail sentence in America.This newest iteration gets points for including ALL of the existing extras, but the material is still only okay instead of great, and the transfer is just plain obsolete. Fast and Furious is a series of action films starring an eclectic cast of actors, including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Gal Gadot, Jason Statham, and Dwayne Johnson. This movie pins you in your seat, your heart starts pounding like a Goldie remix and it really is one hell of a ride. The imaginatively-named "Featurette on Editing for the Motion Picture Association of America" (4:36) is a much more interesting and candid look at Cohen and editor Peter Honess trimming to get a PG-13.

Any time the camera is far enough away to include three or four bodies, fine detail turns to mush, and I glimpsed a jagged edge here and there.They're no more or less interesting than the other batch: fans will watch them once and immediately forget about them.
