This franchise started out abit meh to me,seemed like movies for car-o-holics with some skimpy clothed,good looking senoritas as eyecandy. Along the way it involved into car chases and good action scenes. Nowadays? I dont know where i stand.....they might have milked it abit too far,im not sure. I love most the characters,but another thing i have realized ruins it for me,is that they always show the craziest scenes from the movie in the trailers. So when i finally watch it,its like "oh....well yeah i already knew what was gonna happen here",instead of being sucked into a movie like i normally would. 0:51 with that rugged beard,i almost thought i saw a smiling Paul Walker!😲
Honestly all jokes aside Yes fast and furious started as a racing movie, But you need to understand The racing they were involved in were all Underground/ illegal and in that environment you come across all types of people and the deeper they got and more money they made. it makes sense what they would be involved in over the years. because each character has a specific Unique talent.
I mean as crazy as this shit is this is a franchise putting people of color in lead "super heroes" roles And you can see Ana Lucia left the island and went to space
