I thought someone would have made a thread on this

The trailer doesn't look that special to me but I find it so interesting that basically movie line about underground street racing has morphed into a superhero franchise.
A couple of things...
- Does a spinoff really count as part of the franchise?
- Is [B][I]Wes Craven's New Nightmare[/I][/B] a film that counts? It was a pretty decent departure.

Why wouldn't it? Franchise in this case means media that are connected and this spin off is clearly connected to the F&F franchise.

I think it counts we know it is same world and they are playing the same characters and I think they will mention charatcers absence in Fast and Furious.
Eh it's a shared universe not really a FF movie. Hobbs was never part of the racing scene like the others. For the record to I thought this trailer was insane, **** brought a tear to my eye. Can't wait!!!
Castle(tv show).
It started as a mystery writer shadowing a detective to take inspiration for his next book. Basic crime procedural drama.
It introduced telekinesis, an invisibility suit, time travel, alternate universes and a few other sci-fi things in later seasons.
Yep.

While it kept a lot of the frame of the story the same [B][I]Jason X[/I][/B] was sort of a departure.
[B]Edit:[/B] Also along that line, [B]Leprechaun 4: In Space[/B]. Wasn't the Leprechaun working on some scheme to become a space emperor?

In some defense of this the Monsters were never played for laughs just Abbott and Costello's reactions to them also it's better than most actual sequels to those characters individual films.
Death Wish the first film was a gritty look at crime and in the inner city. I know it's hard to imagine today but back then people of all races really were tired of crime and didn't view vigilante justice as harshly as we would today.
Death Wish 2 was more grind house type film going the exploitative route.
Then Cannon's Death Wish 3 was completely gonzo over the top crazy.
Rocky franchise from the excellent first Rocky a very grounded film to the over the top and glorious Rocky IV where he fights communism. Another Stallone franchise with massive tone shift was again the grounded First Blood to the over the top Rambo sequels which in some ways seemed like a response to Cannon's Missing in Action series with Chuck Norris.

I mean.... after doing stuff like [URL="https://youtu.be/6ZygVYbMrfc"]this[/URL] or [URL="https://youtu.be/DAkYYROwHN0"]this[/URL] is it really that surprising?
[QUOTE=SpiderClops;4175849]Sure, but a freaking Cyborg? Seriously?![/QUOTE]
Yeah like others have said a lot of improbable stuff happened in the FF movies. Why not?
