Fast & Furious 9 is bringing Han back – but needs to avoid Letty resurrection plot hole

Fast & Furious fans are having to wait even longer to find out just how Han returns from the dead in Fast & Furious 9.

 

It's not the first time that the series has brought a character back from the grave as Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) made a similarly surprising return in Fast & Furious 6, after a post-credits tease in the fifth movie.

 

But Letty's resurrection highlights what Fast & Furious 9 needs to avoid as it created a plot hole that the series never bothered explaining.

 

Fast & Furious, the fourth movie of the series, acted as a soft reboot as it was set in the gap between the second and third movies.

F & F has had its day. The last few were rubbish, IMO, if that's not insulting to rubbish.

The spin off Hobs and Shaw made me want to gouge my eyes out it was so bad.

The guy totals a car and everyone sees him die.  Give me a break.  

Just make him an identical twin. There, solved. You can wire my fee now.

Umm, do we really need to account for plot holes in a movie series where leaping cars between skyscrapers and flying cars out of aeroplanes is the norm?

I find a movie car chase that is anything over about 3 minutes long intensely boring and predictable. When one comes on in a movie we are watching it's usually time to make the coffee and let it roll on by itself.  I can't begin to imagine how 9 separate movies, dealing with such a boring subject can interest anyone. Good job we are not all the same.

The first, in Bullitt was exciting back when it was made. Now it's old hat.

Best car chase movie IMO was Vanishing Point. Ends with the hero driving into a bulldozer.

PS the original. The remake was a PC piece of <deleted>, and everyone involved in it should be put in a remote controlled bus and driven into a bulldozer.

Seems a lot of movie goers disagree with you as it took in over 3/4 of a billion dollars worldwide.

With you all the way with Steve McQueen, but for my money Blues Brothers took it to a whole new level which to this day hasn't been beat.

Most of tv is garbage but most people watch it anyway. Just because people watch a movie does not make it a good movie.

I've seen a good many garbage movies, some of them won Oscars.
