Plus comment down below with which movie from the Fast and the furious series is your all
time favorite.
With that lets get to todays video of the Fast & The Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
Trailer Explained
This trailer was a joy to watch and gives us a better look at the duo Luke Hobbs and
Deckard Shaw who for years have been on opposite sides of the spectrum.
However when a new villain seeks to destroy the world, theyll have to put aside their
differences to take on this Fast and furious bad spin off bad guy Brixton.
In the opening sequence of the trailer for Hobbs and Shaw we get the introduction of
Brixton and just how powerful this foe will be for the muscular bald heroes.
Played by Idris Elba, Brixton is a future-tech mercenary soldier.
Writer Chris Morgan explains in an interview that - He uses gear that is at the forefront
of technology.
His suit is thin and flexible, but also bulletproof.
We even get to see how he takes this form with the trailer showing him being injected
with some kind of super-serum.
The filmmakers also said that he is not anything sci-fi, per se, but he has been augmented
in some ways.
Because Hobbs and Shaw are both alpha males in this movie they needed a character like
Brixton to balance the playing field.
As the trailer progresses we get to see how both Hobbs and Shaw are living out their lives
before theyre brought together.
This gives viewers a much needed expansion on each character to learn more about them.
The two are so different in the way they go through the world, Hobbs is the type that
bull charges through every situation where Shaw is much more tactical and polished.
Even though they rub each other the wrong way, after the events of the previous film
there is still a thin veil of respect between the two.
Even if they love to annoy the hell out of each other.
For those of you who are wondering who this lady is its Hattie Shaw the sister of Deckard.
Shes going to be the third element to this team to break up the testosterone levels.
Shes funny, smart and lets fans see more of the Shaw family.
Although this movie is a spin-off from the Fast and the Furious series they have certainly
not forgotten about their petrolhead roots.
Theres going to be tons of incredible cars in action shots and even a giant truck driven
by Hobbs The cars used by Hobbs and Shaw in the movie really
help represent their personalities as well.
With Hobbs in a truck the size of a house smashing into everything and Shaw driving
a much more sleek and extremely expensive McLaren.
Writer Chris Morgan also explained that the McLarens used for the film were too stable
and focused for the stunts they needed to do so the cars youll see are actually modified
by McLaren to reprogramme the computers to allow for things like sliding under a semi
truck.
Like I said the spin-off will be sticking to their roots and at the climax of the trailer
we really get to see that.
Its that skyscraper battle scene that gives fans a ton of action while simultaneously
making us laugh.
In Furious 7 we saw Vin Diesel driving between three Dubai skyscrapers mid-air, but never
before has the series shown someone jump out of a building and punch someone while falling.
Even though this trailer shows a lot, take comfort in knowing the filmmakers are actually
holding back a lot.
Even that scene at the end of the trailer isnt necessarily close to the end of the movie.
In the final sequence we see Hobbs and Shaw chained up, and being threatened by Brixton
with electrocution.
Its a moment in the film that knocks their stereotypical macho attitude down a few pegs.
Overall the trailer shows us that elements of the series will still be intact and adding
its own unique look and humour.
Hobbs and Shaw will be hitting the theatres August 2nd and we cant wait.
And that has been Fast & The Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw Trailer Explained.
