Video: This Is What Happens When You Fuse Mario Kart With Fast And Furious

The standard of acting is vastly improved, for one thing

by Damien McFerran Tue 9th Jul 2013

We're not movie critics here at Nintendo Life, but we think it's safe to say that the Fast and Furious series is coming dangerously close to outstaying its welcome. But just how do you reinvent such an established franchise? You add Mario, of course.

Created by Taiwanese firm NMA TV — which is famous for crafting amusing CGI sequences based on popular news items — this hoax trailer for the seventh (seventh!) Fast and Furious flick is simply too good to miss. Let's hope that Hollywood takes note, right?

I'm a big fan of the series.
The video could have been cool, but it looks stupid and isn't very funny.

OK, I'm usually a big fan of weirdness and japanese culture and weird japanese culture but that was just plain awful.

It went right past so bad it's good into so bad I really want that 1 minute of my life back so I can go vacuum the living room instead.

My insides are cringing. That was plain awful. Wario looks like a middle aged woman with her pants pulled up really high. shudder

Seems to me like it was made to be terrible, to be funny... or maybe that's my optimism kicking in.

1: The Fast and the Furious
2: 2 Fast 2 Furious
3: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
4: Fast & Furious
5: Fast & Furious 5
6: Fast & Furious 6

...does anybody else see the problem? There are three movies missing: Fast & Furious 2, Fast & Furious 3, and Fast & Furious 4! Seriously, who names these things?!
