Facebook and Twitter came out in '06 meaning F&F, Fast5, and Fast6 which remember was 2013 when it released all took place BEFORE Facebook and Twitter were a thing😂 MySpace was still sociala media king at the time they're doing all this very up to date stuff and it's just to justify bringing Han back by saying they're "prequels" I actually would like to see if there's any scenes in those 3 movies that would contradict it hard, like the PS3 debuted same year so do they have scenes of someone playing a game not yet invented or something.

Jen's reaction to the Letty reveal was exactly the same as mine the first time I saw it. Saw it multiple times in the cinema, even yelled out at the people leaving when the credits rolled to hang fire for a few minutes. Got the same gasp from the crowd time & time again. One of the all time great end credit clips.

[@FloundFahrdienst]

Most people didnt even know that there was a end credit scene tbf. Because this was in 2011 and yes there were MCU movies that already did end credit scenes but again nobody knew that or stayed that long in the movie.

Interesting thing is that the dude that died that named his son after Dom.

So the reason Hobbs was against the main villain was because he was corrupt and caused the death of his team. So he tagged along with dom and Brian until he could kill him. Also yeah from now on it’s more focused on everyone while the earlier movies were focused mainly on Brian.

Not sure if you are aware but back when Dwayne Johnson was trying to kickstart his movie career in the early 2000s, he starred in two independent and lesser known movies, both which I loved. The Rundown and Walking Tall. If you ever want to see what he was like back in the 2000s maybe give them a one off look. I remember them fondly for really letting Dwayne Johnson show off his talent, and for his comedic timing.

[@aTofuJunkie]

The Safe Scene is about 90% practical. That's the crazy part.

[@theaikidoka]

It wasn't done with a dead weight, but a towed vehicle disguised as a safe. Still, it's amazing stunt driving.

[@GenerationWest]

This was the movie that sent the series to super popularity, and it was around the time that Dwayne Johnson was considered "Franchise Viagra." And I mean, it was correct statement then. Also The Brazilian Cop Lady, Elena, is played by Elsa Pataky, aka, Chris Hemsworth wife, and the mother his three children... also she's almost 50 now, and looks goddamn fantastic, I just had to mention that.

[@tomhoffman4330]

I've gotten to know them a little, and Don Omar also Sings some of "How We Roll!"

[@ZTK06]

Fun Fact: Paul Walker was a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The feud between Dwayne and Vin started during their fight scene. Neither wanted to look weak. Then later in the franchise Dwayne accused Vin of using Paul's death to get people to watch the movies. They fixed their beef with one another and are now cool. Plus Dwayne and Tyrese had an off screen feud too. That was about Dwayne getting a spinoff and Tyrese didn't think he deserved it.

[@aaronbeatdown]

I think there was also some comments made about Vin Diesel's work ethic compared to Dwayne's despite being the central character with Vin countering that he was also a producer on the films and when he was away or late he was doing production work.

[@overwhelmingtactician3011]

Basically the drama between The Rock , Vin and Tyrese and the rest of the cast was that they all agreed that they would never go off and do spinoffs of the Fast series it would be disrespectful to Brians "Paul Walkers" memory and wishes since he was the main character and they all agreed together. However Dwayne "The Rock" wasn't trying to hear any of that went behind their backs and with the movie studio did it anyways with a solo Hobbs film. Hoobs and Shaw, Shaw is a character you'll see later on. So the beef was we let you in our family and you betrayed us.

[@SparkyFolf]

Thanks for the info 👍

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

yah what's funny is it doesn't really count as the next meet up they still hate each other till they meet up again. But yah i wonder if things were different if the rock didn't show up. Like why hire somebody who doesn't even want to be in a team group sessions and tries to do everything by him or her self.

[@mgc26133]

I suppose Fast 5 is where they were testing the waters to see how we would react to some of the more outlandish scenarios. As much fun as the whole safe sequence was, gotta admit they were really pushing the limits of our suspension of disbelief. Physics and logic totally go out the window, among other things (you'll see), starting with 6! 😁

[@Alice_Haukea]

What is crazy about this movie is that the entire bank vault chase scene was done practically. Another little fun fact, the motorcyclist who crashed over the front of Brian's Charger did that stunt practically too, however the stunt person messed up the timing but a fraction of a second and actually suffered serious injury there. As for Hobbs, he's pretty far up the food chain and has the power to justify his actions usually. And as for Alana(?) the female cop, her loyalty is to justice more so than Rio specifically. She recognizes that Raya is an evil corrupt man pulling the strings behind everything. It's honestly better for the city if he is stopped and the corrupt police purged. So she simply switched sides. This one is probably my favorite of the franchise. I love the stunts used in number 9, but number 9 pretty weak on the scale.

[@Mrmapleleaffan13]

This is the film in the franchise where the movies go from just street racing to assembling a team for a heist and risky manoeuvres but amazing cinematic experience

[@Shap0o.PlayZz]

The behind the scenes of the vault dragging is super cool. It’s actually not CGI - they put a truck inside to drive it around with the cars! Also the Brazilian cop is Chris Hemsworth’s wife.

[@alesztra937]

"Gimme the damn veggies" that line is just so funny to me

[@williamroper5422]

Jen being genuinely surprised that Letty isn't dead was so funny for some reason.

[@Rorujin]

Fun fact: the actor who plays the villain is Joaquim de Almeida, one of the few Portuguese actors working in Hollywood (like Daniela Melchior, from The Suicide Squad and GOTG 3)... But he ALWAYS plays latino drug dealers/criminals in American movies. Except in "Behind Enemy Lines", where he plays a French general.

[@JeffKelly03]

To me, he'll always be "the bad guy from Clear and Present Danger" but ever since I first listened to the How Did This Get Made episode for Fast Five, I can't shake one thing Adam Scott pointed out, and that's that he looks eerily similar to Phil Hartman so it's almost like watching a Phil Hartman spoof of a cartel boss.

The first and fifth are definitely the best. One of the reasons I love Furious 5 over the first and the others is that it honestly works as a stand alone film. I feel like you can enjoy this movie without the context of the previous 4 and still know who everyone is. The movie actually does a decent job with filling you in on who’s what and what their motivations/personalities are like, even if you go in blind.
