Go talk about porn. You sound retarded.
Go find a woman, u skinny Jean rocking sissy. Then do some proper research..Rock is usually in the top grossing movies year to year. He's on top in Hollywood..Willl Smith, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon...they all fell off.

I've never seen a single rock movie and I doubt I ever will. I admire his work ethic but Dude is annoying as fukk with these garbage movies and let's not even get into his being black when it's suits him.

Edit: Tyrese is actually more annoying than the rock. fukk that nikka :pachaha:

He essentially bumped Will Smith off that likeable comedy action star role....

Then again... It's getting hard out here with these super hero franchises

The Day I see Denzel, Leo or Cruise on Marvel/DC ... it's a wrap

Fast and Furious 4

$363 million on an $85 million budget

Yea, The Rock definitely saved the franchise :skip:

What was the Rock doing before 2009?

The Tooth Fairy, Doom, Faster, Gridiron Gang and the Game Plan. Big time blockbusters there bro :heh:

saved may not the best word to use :hubie:

but he single-handedly catapulted that series to a billion dollar franchise

go back and check the numbers of the fast and furious movies the rock has been in compared to the others :sas2:

Naw....it was Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.

Paul was the main character and Vin was the muscled up foil who became the anti-hero. Then Tyrese replaced Vin Diesel as the bad boy street cat foil (no homo). In 3, Vin made a very much appreciated appearance. Then in 4, Vin and Paul came back and it was obvious the series needed both to really work because it was about Dom, Brian and Dom's family.

The only reason Vin left the series was he was trying to be taken seriously as an A-List celebrity. Wanted to do leading man films making leading man money...not make less money to do ensemble films. But by 2009, he realized he that wasn't going to happen, and Fast 4 became a big hit with just Vin & Paul. They never needed Rock at all. They could've added Jason Statham and that Khal Drogo cat or any other halfway popular actor and never missed a beat.


You are wrong. They wanted to go in the direction of Brian. After the third movie Vin became an producer which allowed him back into the series kind of like Letty came back.

If he was the main focus Tokyo Drift or 2F2F would've been centered around him.


Theirs a reason why people were saying Paul was the Fast and The Furious, the Franchise.

It was a mutually beneficial relationship.....at best.

Your comment would make sense if the Rock was a part of multiple billion dollar franchises prior to Fast and Furious.

He wasnt.

He was doing bullshyt like the Tooth Fairy and The Game Plan. Wack ass movies like Doom.

How can a nikka that never had a $1.5 billion franchise on his own and was in a bunch of bullshyt movies beforehand be responsible for FF's success?

If anything, it was mutually beneficial. FF got a C-list action hero for cheap who's wrestling fame outweighed his importance as an actor (at the time). And the Rock got to be in a film franchise that was already a sure thing and making $400 million without him. IMO, FF didn't need him. They were already transitioning to an Ocean's 11/Mission Impossible style by FF 4. FF 5 and FF 6 would've still came out but maybe made $500 million a piece instead. FF 7 would've blew up regardless with Walker's death. Pick any mid level action star and you could've plugged him in as the Rock's character.

Im amazed that people actually want to see F&F still. The movies are probably funded by those car companies. Making advertisment for their brands.

Cant see how anyone would wanna see that flick still.

I mean i watched 1 & 2 when i was a teenager. 2 came out in 2003. We in 2017 and they still producing these movies? And grown
adults are anticipating them?

I don't know why people try to act like The Rock is a huge A-list actor. Almost all this nikka movies have flopped or been marginally successful.
Let's keep it 1000...his filmography is largely trash. People love to bring up his success but can't even lie about which movie they actually enjoyed.

Gridiron Gang was his best movie...that's it.

:rudy: stop it fam...the rock was a C list actor prior to fast 5?

we're saying the same thing

you had a respectable established franchise and a top tier action movie star matching up

fast and furious is not a billion dollar global phenomenon without the rock :manny:
