"Fast Five" Extended Cut and Theatrical Version in one Box |
The Movie
About 10 years after the original movie, the 4th sequel of the The Fast and the Furious franchise hit the cinema screens. Formerly known as technically up to date but contentwise primarily chavvy macho movies, pretending to be action-thrillers, all that just to present as many tuned cars, barely dressed girls and men overflowing with testosterone from different countries and cultures as possible, it transformed to a more and more professionally constructed heist movie. After the franchise was nearly carried to its grave with the third movie (in which no actor from the first movie starred, except for one cameo appearance), being a box office bomb and the low point of the franchise, the third sequel made a U-turn. Less chavvy racing just to show a cool race and more heist action with a Robin Hood-like touch was the concept of Fast and Furious and this was well received by the audience. Luckily Fast Five consequently sticks to this concept. Although the characters are still stereotyped and at many points the story is rather simple constructed at the cost of logic, you get a lot of handmade car-crash-action integrated in a quite consistent heist and revenge story. Apart from that, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is another big win for the movie. Finally we get to see him as uncompromising and rock-hard badass again which perfectly suits him, after he played some unluckily chosen roles in the past. The production company Universal announced Part 6 to be released in Summer 2013 thanks to the profitable box-office gross. The Versions The Fast and the Furious has always been meant for PG-13, so violence and curse words are few and far between and sometimes they had to cut out particular things to adapt it to the audience, they had to do that for this sequel too. But for the first time you additionally get the version of Fast Five which wasn't cut and adapted to the audience, called Extended Cut. Aside from a few short plot lengthenings, about one dozen typical MPAA-cuts, mostly just frames, were reintegrated in the Theatrical Version. Some depictions of bullet and stab wounds were equipped with CGI blood textures, but mostly their quality isn't that good and it doesn't fit to the rest of the action sequences, which are quite bloodless. All in all, the Extended Cut is a nice bonus to Fast Five but because of the minor changes, which can barely be seen during the action sequences due to the fast cutting, you are well served by the Theatrical Version. The Extended Cut is 73 Sec. longer than the Theatrical Version.

Brian thought about that earlier and he found a wall adjoining to a toilet room. Roman and Han point out that they will have to move 5 tons of money, but there's a solution for this problem too: the toilet room has a ventilation shaft which leads straight to the garage so they can transport the money through that shaft to the waiting cars.
