A trailer for Fast & Furious played during the Superbowl, and my first thought was that the new movie shared the same title as the first movie in the franchise. I checked out IMDB and turns out I was wrong.
The Fast and the Furious came out in 2001.
2 Fast 2 Furious -- 2003
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift -- 2006
Fast & Furious -- set to be in theaters April 3, 2009
So compared to the first movie, the fourth movie omitted the two "the"s and changed "and" to an ampersand, &.
That's not confusing at all.
It doesn't even matter because everyone's going to call it the new Fast and Furious movie. They could have put in a little effort, though, to give the movie its own title.
They couldn't really do The Fast and The Furious 4 becaues it's not really a continuation of 3. Tokyo Drift sucked, I think it's resuming the story line of 1.
