The 'Fast and Furious 6' Super Bowl spot

"Do you believe in ghosts"? After a flurry of photos and the reveal of last night's teaser poster, the first footage from Fast and Furious 6 debuted tonight in a Super Bowl spot. The high octane franchise brings back practically everyone from the previous films, including Michelle Rodriguez as Letty, the thought-dead gal to Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto.

It's exactly what we thought it would be, fast cars, lots of wild stunts, engines revving, and hot babes like Gal Gadot. Sung Kang is the luckiest dude on Earth having her ride shotgun with him again. Seriously, the franchise looks like more a hot wheelin' Ocean's 11 than the street racer it was twelve years ago, but that's not at all a bad thing. Dwayne Johnson returns as Agent Hobbs who recruits the crew to stop an international team of mercenary drivers led by a villain played by Luke Evans. The reward if they succeed is a total pardon, and probably enough loot to juice up their rides forever.

Fast and Furious 6 speeds into theaters on May 24th.
