I went and got a rental from Amazon based on one of the recommendations in the footnotes, started the audio and realized it's constantly out of sync because it's a different version from what they're watching. I sync it up again and five minutes later, they're watching scenes I don't have because they're commenting on stuff that doesn't make sense to what I'm watching.
I don't even know if I could rent the extended edition, but it's too late now. :(
Lesson learned.
For the future, get the Extended versions. I believe Alex said on Twitter that that's how they're gonna do the rest.
I had a similar issue although I was certain I was getting the extended version but alas turns out it wasn't. The funniest thing is that I looked up the scene differences online ( here ) and it's barely over a minute longer, and Fast 6 has even LESS extra scenes in the extended version. Anyway for Fast 6 I'll make sure I'm watching the extended because for half the movie I had to fiddle around with pausing the movie and was constantly paranoid that I'm ahead or behind which slightly ruined the experience.
I also remember nothing about Fast 6 so it's gonna be good!
Yeah, I'll be 30 seconds ahead of them for a few times, so I assumed it wasn't a whole lot of extra scenes. Thank god Vinny will bring up the audio every 20 minutes or so so I can re-sync.
It's weird, though. The first few movies, I had the same copies, and everything would be 1:1 with theirs, and then 20 minutes later when Vinny raises the audio, I'm behind/ahead by 3 seconds.
Oh well. I'm having fun. I glad they did this for this franchise.

I think I don't appreciate GBEast enough for managing to go 2+ hours without pee breaks while West can't last 30 minutes.
As someone who pees a lot during the day (I take medication that makes me drink a lot) but can also hold it in for a 2-3 hours, West seems a little too sawft and go the second they feel something.
I know this is an old complaint, but it seems like they're in another bad routine and need to break out of it (e.g. -- Sleepy Brad is now Mostly Engaged Brad).
I think this QL had turned me off completely. Still a bad story. Still indifferent to the world and design. Could have looked over all of that if they changed up the gameplay or at least overhauled it, but the same annoyances from the first game are still there, too, it seems.
Spending minutes figuring out what to do and then fucking up immediately upon execution because the thing you thought was going to happen didn't, like what Jason did. It sounds like no fun.
How could they forget the costumes were keys? Geez
It's weird because they got the concept right away and then forgot about it until 30 minutes in. They'll eventually complete the mission, but old habits die hard, I guess, even after the developers coached them last time.
