Film Theory: Which Fast and Furious Movie is the FASTEST? (And Why It Matters)

Special thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring this episode!

I have been binge watching the Fast and Furious franchise recently and I am OBSESSED! With that and all of the memes taking over every social media since Fast and Furious 9 came out, I knew it was time to cover it. There were MANY ways this could go. Do I cover the lore? Or maybe the insane physics? Not today. Theorists, I decided I need to answer the most important question. Which Fast and Furious movie is the MOST fast and furious?

MatPat's theories are strong. But not as strong as family.

In fast and furious anything can be accomplished with Family

[h-addict]

Tbf I’d prefer the franchise return to street racing like the first movies, Tokyo drift is my favorite, but that doesn’t matter when you have family

[suyash]

"You don't need logic when you got family" The motto behind this series

[FinancialShinanigan]

In F30, they should just have a retired Dom chilling on his patio, drinking Corona beer, talking about cars and family that's gone before him.

Forgot to mention that Paul Walker's last movie was Furious 7. Everyone went, needed and had to see that movie. Of course it's #1.

Theory: over the many seasons of icarly, the crew has done a fair amount of not very legal things that could have gotten them in a lot more trouble than they should, stealing, breaking an entering, sending a doorman to the hospital. How many years would the icarly gang have to serve by all the crimes they committed? Also HAPPY 10 MILLION SUBS been here for years and love your videos

"Dude you can't go out there we're in space there is no oxygen"
"I don't need oxygen....when I got family."

"Fast Ten your seat belts?"
We need DadPat and his jokes to direct this franchise.

This whole thing with Fast and Furious quickly evolving from being about street racing to saving the world reminds me of what happened to GTA Online

[shafqatishan]

I wish they made more spin-off movies with more "fast" and car elements in it. It would've been a delight for car enthusiastics.

[theecookie]

I feel like Furious 7 is an outlier when looking at the highest grossing films at the box office within the series due to Paul Walker passing away during the filming.

[PROGAMR-pjdk]

Well the first 4 movies were “fast” because they were made for car enthusiasts while 5-9 were “furious” because they were made for everyone. 1-4 were movies centered around cars with action elements in them while 5-9 are action movies with cars in them.

I believe they mentioned that the naming had something to do on what the movies are about. The first 5 being more focused on being "fast" and 7 to 9 being "furious" while the 6th movie is the transition between Fast and Furious.

Fast Five will always be my favorite among the entire franchise. After Furious 7, it just became extremely ridiculous. I still watch the movies just because I like the characters. I grew up watching them and I want to see how the franchise would end. But the true finale of the franchise for me is Furious 7. I wish they'd just go back to being Fast rather than being Furious.

Gotta say though. I love how they never forget Paul Walker and still always treat him as part of the "family" even after 7. His car arriving at the end of the 9th movie gave me goosebumps. I know he's not there. But it still made me smile.

Dom: "Almost In the brink of death"
The Enemy: You can't Beat me with Strength
Dom: I can beat you...
With My Family.

2 fast 2 furious from 2003 will always be my favorite, all because of one scene, the scene where the cops surround the garage and regret it because dozens of dodge ram trucks start playing bumper cars and clearing the cop cars out of the lot lmao

[carlossamaniego]

Can I just say that Tokyo Drift is my personal favorite for being focused on actual street racing and loosely connected to the main franchise

[pooldeadpool]

Anyone else prefer the earlier movies when they weren't quite so far out there. Don't get me wrong, I like fast cars, explosions, and fist fights just as much as the next guy but when a car drives out of one skyscraper and into another thats just a little crazy. Fast 5 and earlier were my favorites and even fast 5 was a little out there.
