What did you want them to do? Scrap a fully produced movie because he died?

I think the movie looks awesome and its a tribute to Walker.

Promoting street racing like it's a cool thing to do

You ever seen any of the movies?

People die, get shot at, get ripped apart, go to prison, watch their friends die, live in poverty, have their lives ruined, etc.... It's hardly a PSA that it's cool.

In the latest trailer they jump cars out of a cargo plane with parachutes. Do you think people will start trying that?

it gets people mangled and killed the same way Walker met his end.



People street raced before F&F and they'll street race after. This movie isnt changing that landscape.

Sure. That's why you have car dealerships promoting the movies. Or the fact that after the first 2 movies, you saw a surge of douchebags riding around with those lights under their cars, loud pipes, and those blinding HID lights.

You seem really concerned about other people's cars and driving habits. Is this your wife that's being discussed on PT LINK?

Last time i checked, LEDs under your car and HID lights dont kill you.

Also, HID lights were not a think promoted by fast and furious. Neither were loud pipes.

Those are things douchebags and morons put on their cars because they're douchebags and morons. Not because of Paul Walker in Fast and Furious.

Further, even if we take your entire post as true, the first 2 movies came out in. 2001 and 2003, over 10 years ago.

Since about Fast 5, which was 4 years ago, the movies arent even about street racing anymore.

They're more Oceans 11 with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and the Rock drinking beers instead of Clooney, Pitt, and Damon sipping martinis.

Get your stupid arse bullshite agenda out of here. Or at least become better at arguing your ignorant asinine points.

I agree. Promoting off the deaths of all those teenagers who fail at big heists.

They are hardly showing Walker in the ads at all

Well, I mean, they do show Paul Walker right when Vin Diesel says "One last ride.."

So the OP is kinda right. I've gotten the impression that it was a weird way to edit the trailer.

But all in all, PW is in the movie, and it is gonna be a huge movie, and him dying is a pretty huge deal for the franchise. So them "using" his death isn't really a big deal IMO (and I don't think they are using him anyway).

I'm directly making fun of your premise through sarcasm. Do I need to be more clear?

I think you're a moron.

That might've been the trailer with or without him dieing. We'll have to see how the movie plays out.
