ORIGINAL STORY, AS REPORTED 22/09/2017:
Whether or not you've followed the trajectory the Fast & Furious series has taken over the years, it's impossible to have missed the success of the franchise. Since the first film in 2001, the tale of an undercover cop infiltrating the illegal world of street racing has evolved into the blockbuster story of the world's greatest vehicle-based super-agents - and raked in over $5 billion in the process.
Billed as the "the most spectacular live action arena production ever", the two hour show will include precision performance driving replicating key scenes from the film series, the locations for which will be recreated using state-of-the-art 3D projection mapping. There will also be range of newly created "physics-defying" stunts and performances from some of the world's leading parkour athletes. Several original cars from the films, as well as recreations of a selection of the films' other hero cars will be included; from Dom's legendary Dodge Charger to the flip car from Fast & Furious 6.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday September 29th, but we'll have a limited number of pre-sale tickets available on Thursday. You'll only be able to purchase these if you're signed up to receive our promotional emails, so if you're not, update your preferences here. See you there!

I think it's because the first one came out just as I was getting my own car and just seemed very cool. Admittedly I wouldn't be seen dead in an orange Supra now but still.
As for the latest movies, they're alright for switching off and not having to think albeit they are beyond ridiculous.
I suspect this show will be a bit of a spectacle and worth a peak due to the stunts more than the franchise it's based on.
The rest I'd class as entertaining trash / guilty pleasure!
This is being done by the people who successfully created Top Gear Live, but that was a different show altogether.
How exciting can the same cars be, doing varied stunts before it becomes boring to watch?
You only have to see the levels of crowd attendance at drift events in the UK, to realise this isn't going to be all that successful, really.
As well as the inevitable wife-beater vests, I anticipate many tattoos and Monster logos. Perhaps even tattoos of Monster logos.
I don't mind the FF films it's an easy watch, the live show on the other hand I'll probably give a miss.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
