After five films of street racing, sophisticated scheming and sidestepping the law, the Fast & Furious squad has surfaced as a formidable heist team.

Now the Fast & Furious squad in speeding into a new mission with the franchise’s sixth installment, hitting theaters stateside on Friday, which sees them face off against a villainous, tech-savvy former Special Ops soldier, Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).

But what if Fast‘s foe, for once, was not just a baddie, but instead another heist team from film history? Let’s imagine caper flicks could collide: What other big-screen crook crew would like Fast team like to challenge?

“The original Italian Job guys, with all the car stuff that they were doing,” Paul Walker told Celebuzz‘s Cory Lopez. “That makes sense. We’d roll ‘em up.”

But Evans threw it back to Quentin Tarantino’s breakout film: “It would be a bloodbath if it were Reservoir Dogs, wouldn’t it?” he reasoned. “I’d like to see that [but] that’s a tough call [of who would win.]”

“I would say Oceans Eleven, because for me, that’s sophistication versus street,” explained Michelle Rodriguez. “So it would be kind of cool to see the two even team up. That’d be kind of cool.”

Tyrese Gibson and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges agreed on Oceans, but for not quite the same reason.

“It’d be a great movie because they have each of someone who is similar to the characters in our movie,” Ludacris said. “They had the tech guy, they had multiethnic, they had somebody that was eating all the time.”

“I would go against Don Cheadle,” Tyrese chimed in. “Don Cheadle, who is the darkest of them all? Let’s do this. Come on, Cheadle. I’ve been tanning much longer than you black man. Let’s do this.”

“That’s definitely a challenge,” Ludacris added. “Let’s go.”

It’s been over a decade since a baby-faced Paul Walker first graced the big screen as undercover cop Brian O’Conner in The Fast and the Furious.

Now the sixth installment of the speed-addled franchise is set to crash into theaters this Friday. Since the original, Brian has transformed from a law-enforcement officer to a car-racing, criminal fugitive continually trying to evade arrest with the woman he loves, Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster).

Though Walker’s movie-star life is a world away, he can readily relate to the character that’s come to define his acting career.

“For years I’ve been doing it, the parallels [between] Brian’s life and my life, it’s crazy,” he told Celebuzz‘s Cory Lopez. “I’m like what the hell? It’s personal stuff, ya know. But I look at it and it’s like, I substitute this for that, and that for that. But in terms of journey, it’s been pretty similar.”

And that journey includes parenthood, as Brian and Mia settle down as a family with their first child in the new film.

“A big part of the reason I think we all sort of connect with this and what’s going on in our relationship is because I do think we carry it over into our personal lives,” explained Walker, who has teenaged daughter Meadow with an ex-girlfriend. “I mean, who doesn’t want that? Whether you really possess it in real life or not, it’s irrelevant. Everybody wants that.”

“Everybody wants that sense of family or community,” he continued. “That’s why we got gangs. That’s why we got all this stuff. It’s like, if you don’t have it at home, you’re going to create it some place else.”

Stick with Celebuzz all week from coverage of Fast & Furious 6 before it comes out on May 24, including interviews with Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and the whole gang naming their ultimate heist team match-up.

Say goodbye to Rebecca Sutter Ewing, and hello to Pamela Barnes 2.0!

On the Season 1 cliffhanger for TNT’s smash hit continuation of Dallas, viewers learned the seemingly-innocent new bride (Julie Gonzalo) of Ewing heir Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) is really the namesake niece of his adoptive mother Pamela Barnes Ewing (Victoria Principal) — not to mention the daughter of Ewing Enemy No. 1 Cliff Barnes (Ken Kerchival).

Looks like the decades-old Ewing/Barnes feud is about to spill over like barrels of hot crude into a sexy, new generation.

But first, the series has to deal with the loss of its patriarch — both on and off screen — of Larry Hagman. He lost his battle to throat cancer in November. The series producers revealed to TV Guide magazine that Hagman will appear in at least five episodes on Season 2. And that they will bring back the classic storyline from the original series, “Who shot J.R.?”

“We all felt having J.R. die of natural causes would have been completely inappropriate, not only to the character, but also to Larry Hagman,” executive producer Cynthia Cidre told the magazine.

So, what else can fans expect when Dallas returns? Stars Metcalfe, Gonzalo, Jordana Brewster and Josh Henderson recently told reporters about the new mysteries and scandals set to launch with a two-hour premiere on Monday.

Here’s four more things to expect from season 2.

1. Pamela’s out for revenge against Christopher for breaking her heart. We know Pamela was no doe-eyed victim when she married Chris, but the young lady does have feelings and is upset her husband’s love lies with his childhood friend Elena.

“I really do think she fell in love with Christopher in the first season. She’s hurt, she definitely is hurt with the fact that Christopher would have never loved her as much as he does Elena. And I think that this season you do find a lot of that, but you can see the torn side of that. You see that she’s torn with doing what she needs to do for herself and doing what she needs to do for her father. And I get to play a lot of that this year, which is really fun for me. I think that there is a little bit of everything when it comes to wanting to get back at them. It’s not always going to be the case, I have to add that,” Gonzalo remarked about her character.

2. J.R. (Larry Hagman)’s death rocks John Ross and sends him on an emotional spiral. Despite the father and son’s butting heads in their turbulent partnership to seize control of Ewing Energies, John Ross is devastated when J.R. dies.

“He is very, very lost. He’s unprepared with JR’s early exit. It’s something that is just painful for him and he was not expecting this and it’s going to cost some unbelievable emotions and actions to come out of John Ross,” Henderson revealed.

3. Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) has Elena in her crosshairs for dumping John Ross. Don’t expect the gubernatorial candidate and former Miss Texas to be so forgiving in business and personal life to Ms. Ramos for ditching her son for her nephew, Christopher.

“Sue Ellen is very territorial and she is definitely a mama bear. And she puts John Ross first.,” Brewster remarked. “So it definitely – the relationship between Sue Ellen and Elena definitely changes.”

4. Look for a cutthroat Christopher to come forward. Last season, Christopher tried his best to things the right and honest way, just like his father Bobby (Patrick Duffy). On Season 2, Christopher decides to get a bit down and dirty to survive the oil game.

“He definitely starts to consider compromising his ethics. He certainly and ultimately dances on the dark side a little bit, he’s really forced to in order to compete with everyone around him being so manipulative. You’re definitely going to see a darker side of Christopher come mid-season,” Metcalfe stated.

Season 2 of Dallas premieres Monday at 9PM on TNT.
