Fast X was designed to be the final movie of the franchise which later evolved in becoming a two part finale. Justin Lin was brought back to direct both movies but left the process early on due to on set differences with Vin Diesel.[60] Louis Leterrier was then hired as his replacement to direct the two part finale. At Universal's request, the two part finale was changed to a trilogy.[20]
The series, particularly the first few films, helped popularize the import scene and car tuning.[152][153] According to the LA Times, there are some Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers who blame the Fast & Furious films for popularizing street racing in the city.[154] In August 2022, residents of Los Angeles held a protest against the filming of Fast X, claiming the movies promote illegal street racing.[155][156]

Movies about race still tend to be self-congratulatory or mine tension for comedy ... The Fast and Furious movies, by contrast, are free of this angst. They're basically a prolonged party for a ring of street-racing urban car thieves.[158]
According to Rotten Tomatoes, Fast and Furious movies in order are as follows: The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Furious 7, The Fate of the Furious, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, F9: The Fast Saga and Fast X.
My son want me to take him to Fast & Furious X at the movies. I am not a huge fan of the franchise and stopped at Tokyo Drift, the acting killed me. However seeing there is 10 of them, I assume they got better. I think I read 6 & 7 are the best actually?
As of last week, I had never seen any movies in the Fast & Furious franchise. I probably missed the first one in 2001 because I was planning my wedding or something else equally pedestrian. Then, before I knew it, there were seven more, and I had no chance of catching up.
But now the franchise has lasted longer than any of our president's marriages and has just birthed its first spin-off feature. So I have taken it upon myself to shotgun all eight movies in four days and report back to you what they have taught me about cars.
In order to truly understand their relationship, I've ordered the movies below by following the series' internal chronology. Yes, this differs from the release dates. Just because these movies go real fast doesn't mean they always move in a straight line.
No, yelling at the car doesn't make it go faster. That would be ludicrous. (Though that would be fitting, since Ludacris co-stars.) I mean yelling while you're driving. Despite being in different cars and often miles apart, Walker and Tyrese can't stop shouting smack at each other. It's wonderful.
Maybe my brain was turning to car-crash mush by this point in the marathon, but Fast Five left me dizzy in the backseat with its bonkers plot. Vin Diesel has collected enough sidekicks to fill an NBA starting lineup. The movie has as many plot points as The Dark Knight or Heat, and it has more heists than those movies combined (I know comparing Fast Five to Heat is unfair because comparing anything to Heat is unfair). Also, I think someone gets pregnant, but I can't be sure.
Maybe decrying a movie with "fast" in the title for being too fast makes me a philistine. Sue me. At least Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson finally makes his F&F franchise debut. I remember that part. I like The Rock.
Coincidentally, so do I. The plot conceit here, about her work for a globetrotting villain, might be sophisticated and nuanced. I didn't really digest it. Maybe I was too busy imagining the whole yell-to-drive-faster thing working out for my next drive to HEB.
Essentially a Formula 1-type chassis with a large metal plate where the windshield should be, it allows the driver to both outrun their pursuers as well as destroy anyone fast, and foolish, enough to keep pace. You also have to love the sound of that sequential gearbox revving to the limit.
Fast & Furious has continued to grow from strength to strength and the universe is actively growing larger, as seen by the number of upcoming sequels and spin-offs currently in development. Debuting with The Fast and the Furious in 2001, this appeared to be a standard street racing series of films, however, thanks to the vision of star Vin Diesel and creatives at Universal Studios, it's become a huge franchise. The 11 Fast & Furious movies, including the 10 main movies and the 2019 spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, have impressively already grossed more than $7 billion globally. Consequently, it's no wonder that the franchise continues to expand with follow-ups and off-shoots.
With the action growing more ridiculous and exhilarating than ever, the Fast & Furious franchise refuses to quit. While Fast X was initially marketed as the first entry in a two-part finale to the main series, it was subsequently rumored that Fast X's ending could be followed by two direct sequels to conclude Dom's main story. In addition to that, Vin Diesel has announced work on a number of other sequels and spinoffs, elaborating that there would be some major announcements following the final mainline films. However, some details have now been released about what could be coming in the five proposed spin-offs and sequels, as well as where these movies are in various stages of development.
Louis Leterrier, director of Fast X, as well as several other popular action and heist movies such as Transporter and Now You See Me, was announced to direct the eleventh entry in the main series in April 2023. Shortly after, it was also announced that Christina Hodson, screenwriter for 2023's The Flash, and Oren Uziel would be the screenwriters for the project. Diesel also announced that Fast & Furious 11's release date would be in 2025. The official release date remains April 4, 2025, however, it is possible that this could change due to the halted production with ongoing strikes.
Fans of the "Fast and the Furious" movies have an opportunity to earn $1,000 by binge-watching all 10 of the movies in the series and tracking the crashes ahead of the release of the latest film in the franchise.
I haven't watched very many movies since 2004, when I saw Hidalgo in theaters. It was such a wretched and rubbery trash-fire of a film I decided to categorically write off all movies forever (except for Rocky, which I watch once a year, always sobbing by the end of it). So I had never seen a single movie in the Fast and Furious franchise, but I have been cramming "2 Faust 2 Furious" puns into every germane conversational crevice since 2003 with focused and excruciating glee. This seemed like a good way to atone for those sins (and catch up in time for Furious 7, the latest installment, which had a trailer promising a car parachuting from an airplane, which makes me want to believe in film again).
I clung to visions of Vin Diesel's muscular and extremely nude body the Friday I watched all six Fast and Furious movies simultaneously. I found a couple tall boys of Colt 45 and an orphaned Lime-a-Rita and set some basic rules: I could only watch the same screen for a six-count at a stretch. I could not use the restroom. I could not look at my phone. I needed to be wholly consumed by the big angry men and their powerful guns and cars, and I needed to apologize to my roommate the next morning. I took about six minutes of preparatory breaths and hit play:
About 40 minutes into the movies, I realized that there hadn't been a second where someone wasn't driving. The sounds of Car Action had become the only constant sensory experience and in them I had become rooted. My brain had slipped the surly bonds of earth; I was kissing the swollen, skidmarked face of God.
About an hour and 20 minutes into the movies, someone on every screen reached for a phone and I leapt out of my chair. I went to take a note, but found I had chewed my pen in half on accident and my Post-Its were covered in ink.
About an hour and 47 minutes into the movies, someone on every screen turned to the camera and said, very clearly, "Tim, you are going to die." I consider this synchronization a remarkable technical achievement.
Marisa (she/her) has covered all things parenting, from the postpartum period through the empty nest, for Good Housekeeping since 2018; she previously wrote about parents and families at Parents and Working Mother. She lives with her husband and daughter in Brooklyn, where she can be found dominating the audio round at her local bar trivia night or tweeting about movies.
Meilin is a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, but slightly overbearing mother, Ming, is never far from her daughter - an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren't enough, whenever she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she "poofs" into a giant red panda. This heartwarming Pixar gem features a winning blend of fast-paced comedy, family drama, and stunning animation.
Not everything Ritchie does has been critically acclaimed. His remake of Swept Away has an infamously low Rotten Tomatoes score of 5%, while The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword were huge box-office bombs. Conversely, Aladdin didn't get great reviews, but it made Disney a lot of money. Ritchie usually finds his groove with the kind of dark comedies that he built his career on, most of which are terrific even if they didn't attract a wide audience initially. To celebrate Ritchie's newest film, we're taking a look back at the seven best Guy Ritchie movies, as ranked by Rotten Tomatoes in descending order.
