There is
technically a short film between the events of the first and second movies.
It’s entirely skippable so we’ll be skipping over it. 2 Fast 2 Furious was
released in 2003, and is the only movie in the Franchise not to star Vin
Diesel, he was busy working on xXx, which sounds like a low-rent porno. I’ve
never actually seen xXx. Also, the Chronicals of Riddick, which lost money at
the box office so… great choice there.
The budget
was increased, this time at around $76m, the box office was also increased, but
only to $236m, far from the juggernaut it would become later on. The sequel was
not critically acclaimed with a 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average
4.7/10 and 5.9 on IMDb, with 2 razzie nominations for worst remake/sequel and
worst excuse for a movie (all concept/no content). But here are my thoughts.
