It's really sick how the Fast and Furious movies profit off of Walkers death

Promoting street racing like it's a cool thing to do yet it gets people mangled and killed the same way Walker met his end.

Good way to speed up natural selection. I don't mind it.

I dont see anything wrong with making the movie other than the fact that they're terrible movies

It's even sicker that someone received a paycheck for those scripts. And sicker still that my borderline retarded, tasteless whore, bitch SO will undoubtedly drag me to this smoldering pile of dogshit.

This is way worse because the guy died doing what this movie series promotes. And they keep releasing more and more.

Promoting street racing as if it needs promotion. People have been street racing since the very first automobiles and will continue to street race until the end of time. It's literally the thing I miss the most about Houston. Street racing scene out there is crazy!!

They are hardly showing Walker in the ads at all.

Those flicks have been more about heists and stopping drug lords than racing for a while now too.

Your premise and conclusion are both huge stretches. The movies were hugely profitable before his death. Walker got into an accident. It was tragic, but it's also one of those things that happens. Whatever. That's life.

Right, because movies never profit off of murder or other crimes. . .

The new one has inspired me to drop my car out of a plane. It looks like a lot of fun and totally safe.

And Walker's family is fine with their carrying on.

I hear you. My best friend tried to single handedly topple some third world banana republic with nothing but some stolen supplies from a surplus store after watching Commando.

Poor bastard lasted less than five seconds. These movies really need to start being more responsible.

Perhaps if his "best friend" had his back his endeavor would have been more successful.

The films aren't even about that anymore, and several films ago the characters even made fun of the fact they use to do that.
