Fast Five wins the dubious accolade of being most illegally downloaded flick of 2011

Torrent Freak, a site that gathers and compiles all the stats and date on illegal downloads, has confirmed that Fast Five, the fifth installment of the hugely successful The Fast And The Furious franchise, starring Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, was illegally downloaded over 9.2 million times during the course of 2011,

The Hangover II was the second most 'pirated' film of 2011, with 8.8 million illegal downloads, while Thor was third with 8.3 million.

It was confirmed earlier this year that two further installments of The Fast And The Furious franchise will be made, with both Paul Walker and Vin Diesel signed on to return - if you to say that 1§0 eur was the average reatil prove for a copy of Fast Five on DVD, then that's 92 million euro that could have been used to finance the sequels. OUCH.

1. Fast Five - 9.2m downloads
2. The Hangover II - 8.8m
3. Thor - 8.3m
