My favorite movie franchise turns 23 this year, so to celebrate, here are facts that you may not have known.

The Fast and The Furious

The opening heist is based on the carriage heist from the 1939 film Stagecoach.

The fistfight between Brian and Vince was originally choreographed by Paul Walker and Matt Schulze. They thought that the result didn’t look right, so they improvised instead.

Pipp: is slightly shorter

Fandom:

First, the good news: my progress with Twisted Metal: Black.

I’ve unlocked all 15 vehicles, obtained all but 2 trophies and unlocked all but 1 level. I have more things to say about the game as a whole.

Favorite vehicle(s): Roadkill and Spectre, which are easy to use and have strong Specials. Also Minion, for the above reasons and also being borderline absurdly powerful (once the final boss is rendered vulnerable, Minion’s Special will make mincemeat of it).

IMO, the villain is the most interesting one yet.

Why?

The trailers don’t really show it, but he’s pretty much Fast and Furious’ version of The Joker (though unlike Joker, he has a clearly defined backstory and motive for targeting the hero): funny and frightening, able to switch between them in the blink of an eye when he’s not being both at the same time.

This guy is even more unnerving than the eighth movie’s villain, and that’s saying something!

And because I can’t resist saying it:

”I’ve got something funnier than 24.”

“What?”

“25.”

I first heard this song in an episode of Top Gear, but never knew the name of it until earlier this year.

0:42-0:59 - watching Clarkson blast around the track, in the rain, at the wheel of a bright red Volkswagen Golf.

Enjoy the silence…

I completed my second day yesterday!

Early last year, I made a blog post of my opinions on Twisted Metal: Black. Now, having beat its story mode and generally gotten better at the game, I decided to do a part two.

A few minutes ago, I beat the story mode of Twisted Metal: Black for the first time! I loved every moment of it!
