Back in early March, when Universal Studios announced that the ninth Fast & Furious movie in the “Fast Saga,” officially titled F9, would be pushed back from its May 22, 2020, North American premiere to April 2, 2021, as result of the coronavirus, our positraction wheels started turning. . . .

Yeah, we’re at it, again.

So from Sunday, August 2, to Saturday, August 8, we rolled out forty film reviews that encompassed the films of the Fast & Furious franchise and its rubber-burning inspirations from the ’50s through the ’90s. The parking lot — uh, our review slots — got so crowded, the car flick reviews even took over our weekly “Drive-In Friday” featurette with six hot-rod n’ road racin’ films from the 1950s and our monthly “Exploring” featurette with an examination of the “Clones of the Fast and the Furious.” And we even got Mill Creek involved (poor them) as we included films from their Savage Cinema box set — that set, and all of the movies we reviewed in August — are link’d up in our “Savage Cinema (and “Fast and Furious Week”) Recap!“

Well, guess what? That still wasn’t enough . . . as one car flick led into another, then another . . . before we knew it, we had another 30-plus reviews. Did we finally get them all? We think so.
