I only saw the first one, but it's basically Point Break with cars and racing instead of surf boards and surfing. Both movies share a lot of plot points.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, then $13 for a 3-disc set sounds like a good deal to me.

The first movie's pretty fun. Nothing too deep, but a good popcorn flick. If you're interested, it doesn't sound like a bad investment.

They weren't too bad. Decent action movies.

There is a 3rd movie in the series also, don't know the release date. It is still in production I believe.

The third film (Tokyo Drift) hits theaters June 16th. This new DVD set is meant to tie in with that. Personally, I really like Universal's Franchise Collection releases, so I'd recommend this if you're interested.

I agree completely. I loved both movies & hadn't opened either dvd (out of a big DDD order). I took 'em back a couple weeks ago to Wally World & got about $20 credit. Then got the franchise collection which is the same 2 dvds with a bonus disc & moviecash for F&TF3. That price was unreal. I actually made $6 by getting rid of the individual discs & got the freebies in the box set.
