I just started. in 2001 The Fast and the FuriousDom Toretto’s crew of racers/thieves has been robbing a DVD player/VCR combo. in 2021 F9: Saga fastDom and his friends – Excuse me, Dom and his friends family—He should have saved the world by recovering a device that could hack every computer on the planet. The franchise has been on a very long road, but it will end with next month X is fast and its final complement. So if you haven’t watched their ride, is it worth jumping into the driver’s seat? Sure, here’s what you need to know. (And I’ll try to cool it on the car pun.)
What is it The Fast and the Furious on?
It’s been about a lot of things over the course of two decades. When the first movie came out, it was about racing and living life “a quarter of a mile at a time.” It was basically a car-centric version of the Breaking pointwhere undercover LAPD officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) goes undercover to investigate Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his gang in a series of truck takeovers.
The two formed a bond that informed the entire franchise, at least once Vin Diesel returned in 2009 The Fast and the Furious (Which was the fourth movie released in the franchise, but not…you know what, we’ll get there). at least since then, The Fast and the Furious it was about family. Whether it’s family by blood like Dom’s sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), by love like Dom and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Brian and Mia, or by the family they and the rest of the ever-growing characters are found in, it becomes more important than racing or saving the world. As Dom says angry 7“,” I have no friends. I have a family.
Who are the main characters?
If you’ll allow me another racing game, please fasten your seat belts, because this is not a short list. Let’s start with the “family” as it currently stands:
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel)—A talentless street racer, mechanic, thief, and Car superhero. The undisputed leader and patriarch fast and angry family.
Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez)—Dom’s wife and a complete badass in and out of the car. She appears to have been killed once but it is revealed that she has lost her memory and was working with a group of terrorists. I got better.
Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker)After forming a close friendship with Dom, Brian threw his life as a cop away to join Dom’s gang. He briefly joined the FBI and enlisted Dom’s help in taking down a drug lord, then rejoined Dom’s gang of robbers before recruiting them to start saving the world. Sadly, since actor Paul Walker passed away in 2013 while filming, angry 7 It marks Brian’s final appearance.
Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster)– Dom’s sister who falls in love with Brian. A talented driver in her own right. She settled down with Brian to raise their two children, but when her exiled brother Jacob returned to Dom, she jumped into action for the sake of her family.
Roman Pearce (Terrese Gibson)—Brian’s fast-talking childhood friend who is recruited for subsequent robberies. Roman is also undoubtedly the comedic relief of the group, and the only one who seems to understand that all of the stunts they do are insane.
Tig Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges)– Become an impressive tech mechanic who is also recruited to rob the crew. But in the latest movies, he’s also a great hacker.
Ramsey (Natalie Emmanuel)– The newest addition to the family, she’s an even smarter hacker who never learned to drive.
They’ve been joined by others over the years, including a few adversaries-turned-allies. Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) was the team’s mysterious extra government liaison, but he’s currently MIA. Jacob Toretto (John Cena), Dom’s exiled blood brother, attacked the crew at F9 But it looks like he joined the team for X is fast. Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) was the bad guy in angry 7, but has since occasionally assisted the team under his mother Queenie (played by Dame Helen Mirren). Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) tries to capture the crew back when they were robbers, but he later joins them in fast and furious 6. The only returning character you need to know about is Cipher (Charlize Theron), who was the cunning opponent of angry fate And F9and most likely after.
What is the program schedule The Fast and the Furious films?
This may seem like a silly question, but it is not. that’s why fast and furious, fast five, And fast and furious 6The fourth, fifth, and sixth films, respectively, are technically prequels to the third film. Tokyo Drift. (angry 7 Get things back on track, pardon the other pun.)
Why? Because of Sung Kang, who played Han. The effortlessly charming actor was so good that when Diesel rebooted the franchise with fast and angryhe had the personality of Kang, and Han joined his crew – despite the fact that Han had died Tokyo Drift. He was a major character in 4, 5, and 6, and the final scene of fast and furious 6 He is recreating his fatal wreckage.
He is Vin Diesel in every way fast and angry films?
Technically, it was in all but one. Diesel had a strict “no sequels” policy at that point in his career and refused to come back for it 2 fast 2 furious. He’s not really involved Tokyo Drift, except for a brief exposition at the end. But he has been the main character in every movie since then.
Why isn’t the rock in fast and angry Any more?
Although the details haven’t been made public, we do know that Vin Diesel and Johnson fought a lot during it fast 7 And angry fate, the latter to the point where the two only share one scene (and I’m pretty sure the rock was green on it). It seemed like it was an ego struggle over which actor was the real star of the franchise. Johnson even called him an unnamed “Candias” during the shooting Saucepan, which was assumed to be diesel. Whatever the reason, The Rock has made it clear that he will not be returning to the main track F&F. movies as ever, though he did just as well as one of the showrunners of the spin-off Hobbes and Shaw.
Where can i watch The Fast and the Furious films?
Oddly hard to keep track of all the F&F. Movies while streaming, as they come and go on a variety of services very quickly. Currently the only consistent is F9: Saga fast More on HBO Max. If you subscribe to DirecTV or a cable service like Spectrum, you may find a few on demand. However, you can rent or buy all nine fast and angry Movies on Prime Video (although, beware; for some reason, every movie has a second listing saying it’s not available), and the same goes for Apple TV+.
If you rent a few and like them, you can find DVDs or Blu-rays of every movie on Amazon for pretty cheap. But if you look at a few and like it, I highly recommend buying a box set of all the movies, which will only run you about $40-50. It’s much cheaper than buying it digitally.
any The Fast and the Furious Which movie should I start with?
Honestly, most fans think quick five He is the best F&F. Movie, and they’re arguably right (I’m one of those fans). But it’s definitely a heist movie, and while it does include some amazing action sequences, it doesn’t have the zany, slick action that the series is known for. If that’s what you’re looking for, I suggest angry 7that really gave birth to the modern era F&F. Franchise as we know it now.
However, personally, I would ask you to consider watching them all. No, not all of the movies are good, but the series continues to build on its past in ways that make each entry so much more than the sum of its parts. It’s a big reason why fast and angry Movies have become very popular over the years. If you are not convinced, Maybe this will help.
