The unauthorized genesis film for Sung Kang’s Han, Justin Lin’s 2002 film Better Luck Tomorrow, will be shown as part of a future Fast & Furious movie marathon.
The franchise’s Better Luck Tomorrow unauthorized Han origin film will be included in an forthcoming Fast & Furious movie marathon. In the third installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, Sung Kang teamed up with filmmaker Justin Lin. His portrayal as Han seemed not to be long-lasting, as the character died at the movie’s end. Still, the Fast & Furious franchise eventually retconned Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift’s placement in history. This enabled Han to reappear in the fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes before dying again. Nonetheless, Han will return for F9, as the franchise strives to keep the expectations of #JusticeForHan.
The ninth film in the Fast & Furious series was supposed to be released in the summertime of 2020. however, owing to COVID-19, it was put back to 2021. A lot of fans are still expecting for F9 to be launched, despite the fact that it is now in theaters in various overseas areas. Universal Pictures has attempted to make the delay more comfortable by providing free Friday showing of each film in select theaters. This allowed fans to revisit the Fast & Furious films before releasing the latest installment in the popular series. However, the most recent Fast & Furious marathon takes it a step further.
To get fans excited for Fast & Furious 9, Alamo Drafthouse has organized a 24/7 Fast & Furious film marathon. Fans will be able to view all eight significant episodes in the franchise, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and more during the online concert on June 19th. Better Luck Tomorrow, a 2002 film starring Sung Kang as Han and serving as a prologue to the fan-favorite hero, is one of the most notable entries to the roster. On Alamo’s site, fans can purchase tickets to the screener session.
Better Luck Tomorrow: A True Story depicts a team of Asian American students who are dissatisfied with their daily routines. As a result, they establish a tiny criminal lifestyle, with Kang’s Han serving as the team’s executioner. Their slight offenses rapidly grow, and they get engaged in the killing of another adolescent. It foreshadows Han’s fate as a criminal, and the Fast & Furious films have explored this background in many ways, such as portraying Han’s constant feeding habits as a result of his previous smoking habits.
Notwithstanding its informal relation to the Fast & Furious franchise, Better Luck Tomorrow remains a little-known film. Only the most fervent fans might be swayed by its presence in this film marathon. There is already a possibility that, after F9 is out, Better Luck Tomorrow will become much more relevant to the franchise. Justin Lin is entirely in the power of the blockbuster movie, and he’s determined to bring #JusticeForHan to the big screen. This must provide a justification for how he is still living, but it may also imply addressing other aspects of Han’s background presented in Better Luck Tomorrow.
