moment I’ll be glad to tell you what
happened but then Vin Diesel got crafty
with Facebook and read a comment from a
fan about how sick it would be if his
badass dominic toretto character and the
rock had an epic battle on film sometime
this idea didn’t only get Diesel’s motor
runnin but it also revved up the
producers and the rest is drag racing
history help
for my team you son of a bitch
number nine no driver’s license hey babe
you should be watching from the side I
would want to get me exhaust on that
pretty face how about you put your money
where your mouth is do it fast do it
furious or at least know how to drive a
car both actresses Michelle Rodriguez
and Jordana Brewster lacked the
quintessential Fast and Furious casting
requirement a license
when they were cast for the first film
due to insurance requirements these
ladies had one shot to pass their
driving exams or their parts would have
been recast since then though the duo
has been seen receiving plenty of
speeding tickets
Brewster even admitting that she’s a bit
of a speed demon it’s good it’s nice to
first everyone’s number eight surprise
return Toretto nope ain’t interested yes
you are keep looking in a surprise twist
at the end of Fast Five audiences
learned that the character of Letty
Ortiz wasn’t dead and was in fact part
of an organized crime ring
not only was this a shock to fans but
also to Michelle Rodriguez the actress
who played Letty now you’re lucky I miss
my shot come again
according to Rodriguez she only found
out that she’d be starring in Fast &
Furious 6 when she went to the theaters
and saw the grainy photo of herself in v
movies post credit sequence you believe
in ghosts number 7 ridiculously long
runway Wow why you just had to open your
mouth now we got a big-ass plane to deal
with have you ever been on a plane well
if you haven’t let us tell you that
takeoff only takes a few seconds as a
typical runway is only about a mile long
in the famous plane scene from Fast &
Furious 6 experts have done the math and
based on the combination of the scenes
length which is almost 13 minutes and
the plane speed it appears that the
runway must have been between 18 and 28
miles long so we guess you could say
that in this scene drivers chose to live
life one very long quarter mile at a
time I live my life a quarter mile at a
time
nothing else matters not the mortgage
not the store not my team and all their
bullshit for those 10 seconds or less
I’m free
number six time line twist I had a
wrench and I hit him and I didn’t intend
to keep hitting but by the time I was
done I couldn’t lift my arm throwing a
wrench in the franchise’s continuity
there are two fast and furious short
films directed by Phillip at well
turbocharged Prelude is the six-minute
long run up to too fast too furious
starring Paul Walker directed by Vin
Diesel himself los bandoleros gives more
insight into the series characters as
well as more history prior to the fourth
film have I arrived Justin
ready you always get there just in time
on top of that it’s widely accepted that
Tokyo Drift is actually the last movie
in the franchise in terms of the
chronological storyline as opposed to
its place as the third production
meanwhile Fast & Furious 6 brought the
timelines together by replaying Hans
death from Tokyo Drift with the villain
from the upcoming Furious 7 promising
retribution for his brother’s death in
the sixth film did you get all that
don’t manic to wrap you don’t know me
you’re about to know well either way it
leads perfectly into the seventh film
and brings all of the films in the
franchise together ingeniously
number five legit lawsuit there’s a
hundred thousand streets in the city you
don’t need to know the route you give me
a time in a place I give you a
five-minute window expecting all car
based movies to resemble The Fast and
the Furious movies imagine the surprise
Sara Deming must have felt when she went
to see the critically acclaimed film
drive starring Ryan Gosling livid at the
supposed false marketing that portrayed
the film as the next Fast and Furious
limo drive really for movies Deming
decided to sue film district claiming
that the producers deliberately misled
the public and that the neo-noir
arthouse flick was therefore a massive
disappointment how about this shut your
mouth I’ll kick your teeth down your
throat and I’ll shut it for you funny
thing is she only sought ticket
reimbursement oh and a halt to the
future production of such misleading
movie trailers the case was ultimately
dismissed
number four casting on green
when casting the original movie The Fast
and the Furious directors were looking
at all their options for lead good boy
gone bad character Brian O’Connor yeah
yeah this is officer Brian O’Conner and
when we say all the options we mean it
Mark Wahlberg Christian Bale and even
Eminem were considered
thankfully sanity prevailed and Paul
Walker was finally chosen yeah this is
officer Brian O’Conner in another
equally interesting potential casting
option Denzel Washington was offered a
part in Furious 7 which would have
supposedly led to a larger role possibly
as the antagonist in a potential 8th
movie Washington turned it down with
reports saying it was the same part that
eventually went to Kurt Russell number 3
wrecked cars yeah my dad built er 900
horse is a Detroit muscle it’s a beast
car lovers around the world gravitate to
this franchise like adrenaline junkies
to the racetrack and it’s quite clear
why with some of the sickest most
souped-up and powerful cars on screen
car the franchise has featured hundreds
of automobiles and has destroyed more
than a thousand of them since the first
movie launched
the variety and sheer volume of cars has
intensified exponentially as over 400
cars were used in the making of the
sixth film number two double brothers ya
Paul Walker one of the stars of the
enormous ly popular fast and furious
movies dead in a car crash after the
tragic death of Paul Walker on November
30th 2013 in a single car accident
producers wanted to scrap another sequel
most important thing in life always be
family the people right here right now
but they ultimately decided to give the
all-important cast member a proper
send-off in Furious 7 in the form of a
retirement I’m gonna get you out of here
a jump at the time of his death only
half of Walker Singh’s had been filmed
and so with the creative help of special
effects and Walker’s brothers Cody and
Caleb as stand-ins the film was
eventually completed and released in
April 2015
