Taking place after The Fast and The Furious, Brian O'Connor tries to evade the law, which leads up to the events of 2 Fast 2 Furious. "Turbo Charged Prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious" is exactly what the title says. This takes place before the second of so far 7 "Fast & Furious" films already and was made over 10 years ago already. The star in here is Paul Walker and there is certainly some irony to his death and his character in these films. Maybe, he was not too different compared to Brian O'Conner in real life. Anyway, about this film here: It runs for 6 minutes only and has basically pointless need-for-speed action from start to finish with the character and actor I just mentioned and some hot girls with little clothes who enjoy the lifestyle as well. There is no substance to this movie, no good story line, no humour, nothing. Just pointless action. But what would you expect if the writer comes from "The Voice". If the feature films look somehow similar, I cannot say I am angry that I have not seen a single one so far. Highly not recommended. An 8 might seem generous here. The idea of a franchise (Vin Diesel) wanting such a complete picture, that they create short movies to fill plot holes, is just perfect to me. I think they could stand to do a little more of that, 6-22 minute segments with various characters. This portion of the franchise coming in at about 6 minutes is all silent. It has pieces put together fro the time Brian ad Dom went their separate ways at the end of the first. It has a nice little segue into the Miami scene. It gives a quick glimpse of what it might be like trying to make a name for yourself, all while finding your own way. The best part of this short film is no doubt, when a baby is born, not literally obviously, but something comes from nothing, and it just makes you appreciate that much more.
