LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- If you like fast cars and fast women -- and, really, what red-blooded young male doesn't? -- then "Fast & Furious" is for you.
Then again, the same could be said about the first movie. And the second. And the third.
But at least the fourth film in this testosterone-fueled franchise has something that was missing from its two predecessors (2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious" and 2006's "Tokyo Drift"). For the first time since 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" became a surprise hit (grossing more than $207 million worldwide), all of the original players are back in the driver's seat -- Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez.

The film, which reunites the cast of 2001's "The Fast and The Furious," earned well over its expectations and is on track to pass $75 or even $80 million - leaving the previous April record holder, 2003's "Anger Management," in the dust. The Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson face-off earned $42 million its opening weekend.
