Babylon A.D. (2008)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast - Un pódcast de Joey Lewandowski and Joe Two - Martes

Categorías:

We’ve only got a few Vin Diesel pit stops left this lap, and today’s takes us to a post-apocalyptic (?) wasteland (?) in Babylon A.D. We talk about the muddied behind-the-scenes backstory of this movie, Vin Diesel as “Toorop,” and the absolute lack of dedication this movie shows toward coherent world-building. We talk about the contention between Vin Diesel and director Mathieu Kassovitz, Vin’s multitude of movie references, and the simultaneous cool and weird way Vin gets into a car in this movie. We also talk about the criminal underuse of Michelle Yeoh, the xXx interlude in the middle of this movie, and how they totally just “yada yada” the ending. (If you want to watch the documentary the filmmaker made about this movie, you can watch it here.)
