Some quality stunts in this HD trailer:

Thats not an HD trailer.

This does look pretty good actually. I liked the first film, thought the second was dire, and never bothered with the third.

It seems with the full original cast this could be quite good. I think Vin Diesel is a good actor as well as "muscle-man" action star.

The link said it was. That's why I used it because people were moaning about me linking to standard trailers.

Haven't seen any of them but the action here looks good. Directed again by the dude who did the third part.

480 lines is the standard for NTSC DVD, so definitely not HD.

You should watch the first, its a decent action film. Like I said though, the second one was bad so I never watched the third.

I hope the story for this one forgets the second & third films and is a direct sequel to the first film.

The first film gave me a headache, the second I haven't seen, the third I wanna see.

See this link. It says HD 480p.

I choose that one because the higher res HD didn't fit on my screen.

That page also says HD 480p. So looks like I was right.

Romero - the reason why I use Quicktime is because Dave's page doesn't give you any info about the film. Just the title and link. I don't wanna waste my time watching every trailer.

Saying HD 480p is a bit like saying Ultra-fast ADSL: 56k.

Thats so true. I don't care if a site lists a video as HD when it is 480p. 480p is standard definition! The only reason they put HD is to make you click the link!

For it to actually be HD, it has to be at least 720p.

I found F&F3: Tokyo Drift surprisingly enjoyable when I was dragged along to the theatre to see it by my older sister. The plot was just like The Karate Kid, except with rice rockets. Not a bad time waster at all.

Ahh that makes sense

I know what most are, so I guess that helps me. If I dont Dave ussually has the IMDB link near them.

I acctually find the F+F films good, they should be bloody awful, but they are silly fun. I never expected part 3 to work, but again it really did work well. If you hate cars then thats an instant fail I guess.

I got all 3 on HD DVD for £2 each, so even better

so I have to see number 4, just to see what they do with a big budget this time.
