These guys literally changed the world with this movie. I went and watched it in theaters when it came out. TWICE! I remember the parking lot was a car show, and people were burning out and speeding out the exits...we were not ready for this. Most influential movie ever. RIP Paul Walker.
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Desmond Wade I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Before being ruined by Hollywood director, putting a Saints Row, GTA Online, or Avenger elements that didn't fit the franchise. For example, a car can chase a rocket ship in Fast 9? I'm losing the hope of this series since Fast 8.
As a young teen these movies shaped my life, at 42 i still own a modded 98 civic ex coupe, i love all cars and a lot of us feel a real connection to these movies.
"You have wonderful experiences making the movie, and then you, as the director, present to the audience a wonderful experience watching the movie". This is how movies are supposed to be and what makes F&F 1 so amazing. The Cannonball Run movie was the same thing, just all big name actors having a great time with each other and it translates to an iconic movie.
I grew up in the 70s in a small oilfield town. All there was to do was party and race cars. We all had street racer cars. Only difference was, our cars were all American Iron, no Japanese cars in sight. We didn't have the money for superchargers and turbos and we were all our own tuners. We scrounged engines and transmissions out from junkyards and NAPA did a booming business cleaning and boring out old engines. I worked in a Dyno tune up shop and rebuilt carburetors and tuned up cars all day. When things were slow we brought our personal cars into the shop and tweaked them. I built my car (a 1964 Mercury comet Caliente) into a streetlight racer (racing from light to light) so it needed a lot of pull right off the line. It was a pretty fast car and I had some decent rep with it. I had several hotrods during those years and life on Friday night was a lot like these movies and watching them brings back some great memories. Now I am getting old but still have fun with my CTS-V coupe when I feel like it. American guys and cars go hand in hand, always have.
What I want to know ... is how they found the same name as an obscure 1955 drive in throw away film titled The Fast and the Furious ... what a feaking name. That sold me from the jump. Who'd of thought it was be a juggernaut franchise film reaching the entire world?
I read the original script and it’s really interesting. In the original the real reason Brian becomes a cop because his father was a police officer who was killed in the line of duty. Domincs father was actually a deadbeat dad who only cares about racing and had his mom runaway because of it. Lety wasn’t actually Dom’s girlfriend and throughout the whole movie she was trying to get with Brian. Leon was actually black. Jesse didn’t die in the orignal script and was actually suppose to be saved by Dom and Brian cause he got kidnapped by Johnny Tran. Really interesting how a lot of things were thrown out and some kept.
There was a LOT of love and thought that went into the making of this cool film. Awesome stuff, same for 2 Fast 2 Furious, and it's why both of those are timeless to me. Just cracking films. Also, huge respect to all the stunt people, and Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Devon Edwenna Aoki(Suki in 2 Fast 2 Furious) for learning to drive, and doing it with style for those films. Fair play, and what a way to earn a license! 😄😊 The soundtrack by BT only compliments it further 🙂
So ironic that Asians made this subculture in the mid to late 90s but in the movie the Asian was the bad guy and the main cast has zero Asian in it lol. Like, make Dom's best friend an Asian or sum sht lol.
technically yes it was about a undercover cop and ppl stealing but lets be real here, the point of this movie was to cash in on the underground import street racing culture / trend at the time because it was a huge upcoming trend they just needed a plot to make a movie out of the culture / cars but its really about underground street racing. They made a bunch of money so... they make more movies problem is that rhe first director Rob cohen is not interested in making a sequel but rob cohen was the only director who did the research on underground import street racimg so they get director John Singleton the guy who made Boyz N the Hood, Poetic Justice and Baby Boy and doesnt know a damn thing about import street racing and so on so on
