The Making of the Fast and the Furious Saga was a Sh*t Show

- Making a family is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make The Fast and the Furious Saga, from Vin Diesel walking away from the franchise (2 Fast 2 Furious), to Justin Lin fighting for a diverse cast (Tokyo Drift), or James Wan overcoming the death of Paul Walker (Furious 7), and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s feuds with Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson (The Fate of the Furious).
Correction: Ja Rule did not ask for $30 million. It was for an unknown amount still considered too expensive for director John Singleton.

Mark Kermode says that a good documentary can make you interested in a topic you care nothing about. For me, this video does just that. Bravo
Helluva compliment! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@ItWasAShtShow even greater that you keep seeing and answering new comments on your videos, the content its really good
Never caught anyone referencing mark before 👏👏👏
Deadass same, I only clicked on this video to hear celebrity drama but it made me have a new appreciation and respect for this franchise. Was really well made
@@the_other_will7756 Hello to Jason Isaacs
Every time I watch Vin Diesel take on 50 men on his own I just think “he probably wrote this scene himself”
There’s a behind the scenes moment that always bugged me where Diesel is basically dictating the fight choreography by saying something like “no matter what’s happening, I should always be able to get the upper hand.”
The 3rd XXX movie is basically a harem fantasy he wrote for himself in the beginning
Vin is an alpha male 😎
@@Bliu2th
Bro harem fantasy is crazy😭😭

Bruce Willis was sitting by the phone WAITING the entire time.

Too late now

and jeff enjoy all of these
I cried laughing in the theater when Dom said “the streets always win”. These movies gained comedic value with every rendition. Really took jumping the shark as their formula
I haven’t seen Fast X yet but I just watched F9 recently for the first time and I was laughing my ass off.
@@Josephdquinn Oh then I think you'll love Fast X lol
Dom is straight up playing Live Action Rocket League in this one. I was laughing my ass off in the theatre.
Yeah it reached the point if they don't make a scene over the top it would be a letdown lol
100%. These are incredible for that exact reason.
How is it jumping the shark?
F7 is unironically the only action movie that made me cry at the end, with the memorial. They did the end perfect and so respectfully.
F7 was the official F&F's ending to me. Nothing that came off after it worth watching.
I cried at the end of F7 ngl
@@roughbro Because a Pedophile died?
@@richardmyers7847 yeah I see your saying that for every comment. Stop perpetuating bullshit to tarnish a dead person in your own boredom. Find a hobby instead, maybe hit the gym. Better yourself.
I was shocked after they announced 8
Vin Diesel is a DnD fan? This makes so much sense, as this entire franchise is essentially about a cabal of magical physics wizards.
Yeah, he helped write the screenplay of The Last Witch Hunter by basing it on his DnD expertise, and played regularly with Judy Dench and Karl Urban during the production of The Chronicles of Riddick
@@johan180295 oh my god, just the thought of Vin Diesel playing DnD is amazing
@@thatguy8777 there's no greater roll for initiative than family
@@thatguy8777 he has played it for over 38 years, he loves it so much he wrote a commemorative book and involved himself with tons more D&D projects 😳
There's vids on UA-cam of him playing with other celebs.
Their love for Paul was the most genuine thing (besides the fact that they milked it for marketing). U can tell because the franchise immediately split into two after he died.
Nah, the series took a huge turn when they made 5.
@@jrob4795 5 was the best movie of all time , i like 7 too ! It being paul last movie , i paid for all of my homies and we paid our tribute to the guy
@@vanshtyagi3483 What I meant was 5 is the one that made the series into whatever it is today. Up until 5, the series was mostly grounded...now, well...they're driving cars in space. Make of that what you will.
@@vanshtyagi3483 I don’t wanna say this but I feel like I’m Furious 7 Paul is more a side character than one of the main characters. I just don’t like it like that.. and
@@RyanGosling6 They had to rewrite some scenes after his death.
The thought of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker running from the cops down an alleyway while giggling is one of the best things ever
Wait which movie is this from?
@@pranavjuloori1774 from the development of FF1. In order for the actors to get inspiration for street racing, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker attended a real street race, and had to run from the cops
@@BKAngmar NO WAY. Where can I watch this?
@@pranavjuloori1774 I don't think there's a recording, the guy mentioned it in the video
@@BKAngmar oh ok thank you
It’s crazy to see how unpopular Tokyo Drift was at its release - everyone I know, myself included, see Tokyo Drift as the one of the best, if not THE best, in the series.
I love Tokyo drift. It's actually my fave FF movie
Yeah when the movie came out nobody liked it but my brother and I. Crazy to see it build such a fan base after all these years . That movie was a straight vibe.
tokyo drift is the only fast and furious movie i’ve seen
fast five is the best imo, but Tokyo Drift is a close contender
I totally get why. Besides from the last bits of the story, Sean is the most unreasonable protagonist in the whole franchise. He's just a dumb, ignorant and reckless kid that destroyed an otherwise cool story
The Rock added some legit star-power to Fast5 despite not being an actual star in Hollywood, which in turn made him an actual movie star. Mental how things work
The Rock was pretty big by then.
@@robertmoore3904 on the WWE scene but not in Hollywood, not just yet.
By the time fast 5 came out he had been in 14 movies over the course of 10 years a number of them he was the lead role so far from new to Hollywood
@@pedinhuh16 Wasn't he the lead actor for the Scorpion King movies in the early 2000s or something?
@@TheRighteousDawn yeah, he was the lead in most of his movies before Fast 5
People that have contracts that say they can't be portrayed as "weak" in any way aren't real actors. Imagine if Christian Bale had a contract like that so Batman could never lose a fight. It would be ridiculous.
I still get emotional when the topic of Paul Walkers death comes up. It just made me so sad because I grew up with this series and it almost single handedly made me into a car enthusiast. As cheesy as these movies have become, they still have a special place in my heart.
he dont know you
@@dpw0499 well he doesn't know anyone now. 💀
Paul Walker is dead. There, I brought it up. You feel emotional again? 😂
@@PonkanPonkanPonkan OHH NOOOOOOO how will I EVER go on 😭😭😭
@@JacquelineLanceTenor ❤️❤️❤️
Vin was actually decent in the first one, and in Saving Private Ryan. It sucks that he went down a different career path as far as what roles he took lol.
I agree, he actually acts his ass off in Fast 1. And I’ll give him some credit in 8. But 9? He could care less.
I also enjoyed him in Riddick as well.
He was a LOT more emotional in The Pacifier.
@@marcen12 Hahaha! Yeah! Because then he actually had to act to maintain a job.
... money ...
Tokyo drift is still my favorite. Lucas black is probably the biggest downside. But I loved the way it looked, I loved the cast, and I LOVED the races. Really wish the studio hadn't interfered as much as they did
I agree - the screenplay was really rough.
Tokyo Drift was pretty much a spin-off...
Not to mention it was probably the only Fast movie about racing specifically
"I loved the Races" Weeb
@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 thank you
Furious 7 should’ve been the end. The series could’ve ended cool. No one would’ve batted an eye.
Fast & Furious may be one of the most mediocre money printing franchises in film history, but no other action movie can compare to Fast Five. The world's first car commercial disguised as a heist movie. Badass.
The first movie will always be my favorite. Everything was just taken more seriously and it was grounded. The stunts were cool but weren't exaggerated like future movies. And Vin Diesel actually gave a shit about his acting. I liked that he was a deuteragonist more than a protagonist. It wasn't the Dominic Toretto movie it was a Brian O'Conner movie.
I agree that Diesel is really good in 1. But hasn’t shown that level of acting since.
1 and 2 are my absolute favorites. I can’t quite explain why, but 2 is one of my favorite movies ever lol
Three will always be my favorite because it's the least "fast and furious" movie out of them all and actually is about street racing like the first movie was.
Fast and furious up to 4 is good.
@@Blowfish_homicide Yeah, I like 3 a lot too. It's in Japan. It's about street racing. It's fun. What more do you need?
The actual fights between actors kinda make them an even more realistic family 😂😂😂
Kek
Ironic but true! 😂😂😂😂
I remember seeing the news stories about Paul Walker & was heartbroken. It may be a cheesy soap opera action flick but I LOVE the fast and furious franchise. Sitting in a full theater watch furious 7 and hearing people sob and break down crying at the end will be something i never forget. These are and always will be my favorite movies.
This. I was part of that group trying to hide it from my lady and I remember her just wiping the tears from my eyes. Never in life forget that moment
A film critic might call Tokyo Drift a failure. However that movie single handedly sparked a burning passion for cars inside millions of young boys all around the world. I would call that a success, since after all, these were originally meant to be movies about cars instead of ridiculous action films.
I still can't stop thinking about Vin Diesel taking to Facebook for ideas in the movies. That's like equivalent to a UA-camr asking their fans what videos they want to see lmao
but its worse considering he's like a hollywood big name and the movie is being worked on by a shitton of people.
@@aarontheperson6867 yeah but the facebook people sure do got some solid ideas
This is stupid UA-camrs always ask what their fans want to see.
It's actually genius. Give the people exactly what they asked for and the billions will come pouring in the cinemas.
Isn't that what UA-camrs normally do for their audiences?
I knew Vin was jealous of Tyrese, even though 2 fast wasnt as revered as the first one Tyrese had a lot of appeal and added a lot to that sequel; his character's demeanor strays so far away from how "hard" he was in his first appearance in the series. Vin turned him into the jester of the group for the tail end of the franchise. Hater.
Exactly! Roman went from a fan favorite to most hated.
@@ayby17 legit the worst misuse of a character. "EJECTO SEATO, CUZ!" Fucking hilarious 😂
Vin just doesn't have that same appeal, and he knows it.
I didn’t like the first movie solely because of Diesel. His whole „I’m the toughest wanna fight?“ overly serious attitude was annoying. Tyrese was much more likable und I enjoyed the second movie a lot more because of him and Walker having a great chemistry.
Vin...you were the one who left the 2nd movie to do your own thing. Tyrese could have called ya out more.
For real. He was actually becoming a good action star and was carrying his own weight with other action stars like Jason Statham in death race, Mark walburgh in four brothers and 2f2f. But since they made him a joke in the fast n furious he completely fell off.
I love how The Rock publicly turned down being in Fast 10 and called Vin Diesel out for being manipulative. Totally embarrassed Vin Diesel.
The Rock has atleast been in moderately successful movies....Vin Diesel is kinda trash and its kinda hilarious how some people just desperately ride his cack...The guy has made 1 decent movie, Pitch Black was good. Chronicles of Riddick and Riddick were both varying degrees of god awful, The last Witch Hunter or whatever was god awful, The Pacifier was god awful, both Triple X movies he was in were god awful
@@lutherheggs451funny, I thought the Pacifier was OK and thoroughly enjoyed XxX. I can’t stand Dwayne’s on screen persona in any of the later films, The Rundown was still a good one.
please you rock nut huggers are delusional if you think the rock is not a total narcissist
@FatSkeleton that’s like saying McDonald’s makes the best burgers because they sell the most 😐
Funny enough, & spoilers for Fast X.
He came back in the post credits scene.
It’s crazy how the “worst fast” ended up becoming the best fast and furious
You can add, Director Justin Lin just quit “Fast X”.stated Vin Diesel was difficult to work with. Vin Got 2 Fat and 2 Lazy.
Dang it! They couldn’t call it FX? Eh, close enough…
@@osmanyousif7849 lol. They can still change it. It’s not official yet.
It's a shame that he got that way. Because on Vin can actually act to a degree when he actually cared.
@@osmanyousif7849 "Fast10 Your Seatbelts" would've been a perfect title.
Quit lying that was not confirmed that’s just a rumor Vin Diesel is not fun or lazy and he’s not why am I quit Hollywood inside or even said it had nothing to do with Vin They said it was a studio piss off lies if Paul alive he tell him woont do that fool
RIP John Singleton. A director who could glide from studio tentpoles to intimate dramas almost seamlessly. The man died way too young but gave us a small legacy to appreciate.
Rosewood is my #1 most underrated movie ever , he was a fantastic director
🙏🏽🕊
I love pt 2
Facts.
Rip
I love this franchise. I know exactly what I am signing on for: soap opera drama, family power, and stupid awesome driving nonsense
This guy gets it.
The first 3 movies are a part of some of my favorite memories with my dad, I remember the movies going on in the background while we worked on his car. I can't watch Tokyo Drift without crying, because it reminds me of my dad and how much I miss our late nights together
Sorry for your loss
The Rock in Fast Five is his best on screen performance of any movie he's ever been in. He's a scary dude when he plays it serious. I pray that's the kind of performance he brings to Black Adam. I fuckin hated his character change just because he became "part of the team"
Agreed. He works so well as the villain of the series. So sweaty…
@@ItWasAShtShow That’s not sweat, it’s baby oil.
@@arrownoir made from real babies
Damn, I thought I was the only one who noticed that
i think the opposite. i hate him involved. he is the same in everything just a steroid junkie with zero range
The fact Paul was leaving a charity event before he died is even more heartbreaking
what kind of self centered moron attended charity even drunk?
Wasn't even driving the car. Sigh
He was also a pedo
@@idlestation
And only died because he stayed in the car to tried to free his friend first. He was an amazing person.
It should be more heartbreaking that he, as a man in his 30s, was dating 16 year olds. But i guess we're not talking about that because the children he groomed and objectified aren't important, huh?
What’s funny is that Tokyo Drift has arguably become one of the most iconic F&F movies
Arguably is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence.
That's so funny to me as someone who just started watching the movies this year, cause that one was definitely the worst in my marathon so far (except for Han and Twink.) But I'm only on 4 rn so maybe 3 isn't the worst. The theme is really good tho
@ItWasAShtShow not even arguably. It's the most iconic
I recently watched all the Fast and Furious movies, and I gotta say, from the moment the first movie starts, you get engrossed with Paul Walker's acting. Every time Paul smiles in the movies, it's not acting, it's genuine. He really was having a blast playing Brian's character, and it, in turn, makes you happy and have fun watching just like him.
Somehow Ja Rule still got an L out of this. Now Ludacris never has to rap a bar in his life.
Ludacris: (sees this comment) Time to rap about fast cars....better make an entire album out of it.
Another funny thing was that Eminem was originally who they wanted to play lead role, Brian , but he turned it down and Paul Walker took on role where it’s now hard to imagine anyone else (before the sad tragedy of Paul Walker).
But it could have lead to even more funny things said about Ja Rule during beef with Em. Or the fact that he wanted 30 Million is funny enough.
JaRule isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed…
@@chrisfrank2664 Em is the most overrated rapper in history
@@LuffyBlack Thanks for your opinion on that. I was just mentioning how they wanted him for the original movie.
I disagree with that & think he is one of best all time; but we all all have different perspectives on things!
I’d like to hear a couple things that make him so overrated in your eyes/ears, if you want to say what & why you think that?
Hired a fall guy to spend a night in jail? Someone please tell me how to get THAT job.
The real question: how much did they pay?
Buddy...this is japan. It's not that simple.
@@nfspbarrister5681 right, lucky Japan didnt make all of them leave. They could have went to Osaka or anywhere else in Japan and tried for permits
Jail in Japan is no joke either. They can hold you for over a year without even charging you with anything.
@@derreklong3549 what are the inmates like?
For some strange reason I find a very strong similarity between Vin Diesel and Salman Khan. Their films, their personalities, their insecure nature, the limited facial expressions while acting, their wish to hijack a film and their ability to keep repeating the same formula of films again and again and their audience lapping them up as well.
This franchise is such an easy crowd pleaser, its dumb action and its totally proud of that. Even if they're technically awful cinema, they're just so fun to watch and you do get connected to the characters. Also as a car nut I really appreciate all the sick as cars in these films
I didn't know so much of Fast 7 was digitally recreated footage after Paul Walker's passing.
A sign they did a good job.
The farewell scene was so well done too.
It caught a lot of flack for the memorial scene at the end, but people had no idea that such a large portion of the rest of the movie had completely duped them with a digital double.
@@itsd0nk the memorial scene looked a bit more “fake” because they intentionally made it look a bit more artificial with the glow look in that part. I think they wanted the audiences to get the feeling that Paul wasn’t really with them anymore, because just moments earlier when he was on the beach with his kid he looked unbelievably real and nobody could say it was cgi. Most people who dunk on this movie’s cgi probably can’t even point out all of the scenes where Paul is cgi when watching the movie, they can maybe only point out the last car one (since that was intentionally done like that), the abu dhabi car sequence and maybe that’s all.
Although I was quite sceptical that this would blindly shit on the Saga with irrelevant reasons. As a fan, I gave it a go and I was hooked because of the real life implications and Universal itself being a massive influence in the mistakes and moments when the franchise was "duct taped." In fact this was done so well I'm thankful I watched this. Context matters and this was a great video to watch
Just some fun film history. Personally, I’m a fan!
Yea same! I was expecting him to really shit on it because of the title but it's actually just a history lesson of the franchise which was a very nice surprise.
Ppl loved to shit on this movie back in the day when I would mention it as one of my fav movies. Not sure if this is still true, about ppl shitting on it
@@maddogkilla1 I grew up with Fast and Furious, while they definitely feel so much cheesier today I still absolutely love these pieces of Cinema History from Films 1 to 3 and Fast 5 being to me the Highlights.
@@samuelbignell6534 I've always liked Tokyo drift the most and its ending when Dom pulls up to the line lol. Special shout out to that BBQ scene with The Rock and a certain big ass forehead hahah
Dude, Paul Waker demise was such a sad thing. His character and story was the only thing in those movies that I actually liked after they drop the race cars for super spies action
that last scene in fast 9 was honestly heart breaking, after sitting through one of the movies of all time (not a big fan of it ngl) that ending scene with "hold on, there's still an empty chair" followed by an engine on the distance and Brian's R34 was something else, almost broke down crying in the theater
Tokyo Drift is my most favorite of these. No film in this franchise comes close to that. What a magical time it was, NFS Most Wanted, this movie and teenage years.
I really liked Tokyo Drift as well. I remember people hating on it probably because there was no one from the first 2 films (besides Diesel's little cameo). I was confused. I left the theatre feeling pretty satisfied. If Tokyo Drift was not called Fast and Furious, i think people would've liked it
Yea, it was an epic time to be sure, with the previous movies and NFS Undergrounds aswell. NFS turned to shit after most wanted tho and F&F declined after F5
tokyo drift and 2 fast 2 furious are my favorite. normal guy doing racing things, secret agent, fighting villain i mean a normal villain.
For me the best one is the 5th, and 2f2f the second
I like Tokyo Drift too, mostly because it was the first one I watch from the series. The setting and races are cool, but the story is mediocre, down to the fact that you can colour swap everyone and the story would still work mostly.
A spin-off/remake with the Muppets would be awesome.
I made this video and even I didn’t think of that. Brilliant!
Vin Diesel has to voice Kermit!
@@jl.7739 Vin Diesel can voice Dom in Muppet form.

The fast and the furry-ous.
It didn't have all the most high quality movies, but the Fast and the Furious franchise will always have a special place in my heart. As a Filipino, I thank God for Paul Walker's life, that he was able to be a blessing to so many of us before he passed away.
I remember when fast7 came out. Every guy in the theater was in tears at the end.
As the years pass i cant help but appreciate tokyo drift for the aesthetic and look that it created and gave of the japanese and drift culture simillar to the LA style, made me appreciate the time in which it was made more.
It's the last one to make the cars co-stars. Since then, the actors got more screen time, more lines, and overall more goofy.
I always thought it was so fire
One of the most tragic things about the death of Paul Walker is that there were internet rumors just the week before that he had died in an explosive car crash. So when the sad news first broke, many fans responded with a "Nah, that's been debunked as a hoax." Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
I met Paul Walker a number of times, and can confirm that he was just the sweetest, caring, and down to earth guy. Paul did a ton of charity, but did almost all of it behind the scenes and never wanted credit nor publicity for his good works.
Same thing happened recently with football agent Mino Raiola. Dude even put out a tweet saying that he isn't dead, only to die a few days later
Friends n family would of known, it's just weird to all of us nosey fans.
Holy crap I remember a schoolmate told me about this yet I didn't hear any news about him until that following week. It was the weirdest deja vu moment ever I always wondered how he knew
thats so nice to hear
Remember this very vividly. First death I remember searching to see if it was true. Just recently did the same with Kevin Samuels.
Tokyo Drift is criminally underrated.
As a guy who is currently without a vehicle right now, it makes me sick to know how many cars they destroyed in these movies
You’re like my wife watching them “this is so wasteful!”
Hope you have a vehicle now
Wait, I thought it was Dwayne that first called out Diesel for his work ethic? As for the fighting scenes, clearly Diesel made sure that he looked better. But then again, just look at how Diesel's character went from a normal street guy, to being able to out fight skilled guys like Dwayne, Evans, Statham and Cena.
Haha fight guys like Johnson. Haha. A pro/fake wrestler. Haha
But in the movies the rock plays a top trained government agent. That's the point they mean to make
@@rileyandmike Lol So is Cena, yet you skipped him. lol I'd love to see you step into the ring with any one from WWe or AEW or any of them and call it fake. Either way, I was talking about their characters not the actors themselves.
@@danieljow3510 That's my point, I was talking about the character. Diesel's character, a normal street guy with no training is able to beat a highly trained agent in Dwayne's character. Then Statham's, a scary guy that should have dropped Diesel's character in a blink. Cena's, the worlds deadliest assassin and yet Diesel character is able to keep up and even show him up. 🤷♂
@@TheOther644 well, maybe Vins character took MMA classes ?
And any day a “wrastler” wants to step up, let him. Some of us fought and trained for reality, not “sports entertainment” childrens shows
The Fast and the Furious was never made for the critics, the first 3 ones are very influential and action packed in their own way, see how the critics consenses is one but the audience is another? Everyone who is part of the car culture became desapointed with the fast saga after the 5th one, and also agree that the best of all is Tokyo Drift....the only one with no physics defying stunts
I agree. There is a major disconnect between the opinion in the car culture and the general public/critics. I believe this is the core problem of the franchise. They are trying to please everyone by inserting cars for the car culture (and maybe as an USP for the series) in a completely nonsensical way to please the general public/critics. Because this is where the cash is. This offends the car culture and there is a huge unsolvable rift between those two types of Fast and Furious Fans.
@@f1fan3000 how early, it could have worked if they made the action ones a spin off series, it could have still appeased to everyone as it would allow the classic car culture to still happen
@@pian-0g445 Yes they should have taken the Hobbs and Shaw spin-off route after Tokyo Drift. Part 4 should have been as car centric as 1-3 while 5 being a spin-off. This would fit the introduction of The Rock aswell, better than cramming him in like they did in 5.
It's pretty cool how the only Fast film that's actually about racing is the fan favorite
Tokyo Drift sucks
This is a rare episode where production slowly gets more difficult with each new installment. So many of these actors became household names because of this franchise, but then got too egotistical and tried to exert their own control over it. Celebrity actors sound like a nightmare to deal with
I feel for anyone who dealt with Vin's antics, but I gotta admit, if it's true that these behaviors weren't a problem until Paul's death, then I can give him a pass. Hopefully he's doing better now that some time has passed. Hope he found some closure.
Nope. Apparently it’s gotten worse.
Furious 7 was made with love, passion and serious dedication.
I never noticed the fact that his scenes were cgi, seriously!
R.I.P a legend, ever since his death the cast got split, and the movies became over the top shit shows.
it 100% hits different
Man, after hearing the behind scenes of Furious 7, you can tell Paul's death really impacted Vin's mental state. I can't imagine the feeling of bringing back Paul with CGI and finishing his story in his memory, but feel like the process is unethical.
It's only unethical if those in his life are against it. They weren't.
@@DamienDrake he would have added more racist,priviledge to the slavery and how it impacts till now if Paul was black.
So it would had been ethical if they completely erased Paul off from the movie right.And just throw the scenes already done by him in trash.
Production went to hell and back just so they can give him the best farewell as they can.with his brothers getting involved and it was unethical for u when his own family put everything just so make him feel alive.
It's like Vin knew the franchise was going the way of Disney with Paul's passing.
And that end scene, you could see there was no life in those eyes.
@@binayshrestha7132 well, when you put it that way....
Let me play you a little song....
👌on my itty bitty violin.
The first 3 movies were insanely famous during my childhood/teen years. It was all we talked about in school.
That Roger Corman tidbit is absolutely hilarious and completely on-brand lmao
I understand the business side of things were u have to keep making money from the franchise but a part of me still believed 7 should’ve been the ending of the saga bc the ending of 7 was a way to close O’brians chapter and a remembrance for walker
I agree. I think they should have ended it there. But Diesel’s ego and greed cannot be satiated!
@@ItWasAShtShow tbh if they end the franchise when they hit record breaking 1 billion world wide, ????
The franchise would be remembered in a better light if it stopped at 7. 8 and 9 are progressively worse, and have none of the charm previous movies had
@@bfife22 I dunno, the 2nd and 4th movie were pretty bad. The quality wavered theroughout the series.
@@marcen12 The run of 5-7 was good though, both critically and commercially. Ending the series on one of the most tasteful send offs to an actor/character was the perfect way to end. Since then the movies are still entertaining but feel extremely stale (especially 9)
Lol, the upbeat ending to this retrospective is deeply ironic and funny now that Justin Lin has bailed on Fast 10 due to Vin Diesel's colossal, corrosive ego.
Right?! Damnit.
@@ItWasAShtShow That shouldn't take away from your amazing work on this video btw. You did a wonderful job here. It's just a shame the upbeat ending to the vid has been undercut a bit by that news.
@@JHallenbeck And at the time I was writing it, I assumed COVID was soon gonna be gone too... double whammy. Thanks for the kind words! Maybe a part 2 is in my future.
@@ItWasAShtShow have you seen his weird, cringy facebook live videos? He has one where it's just Jordana and Michelle over, and the way they're acting it seems as if Vin told them it was a production meeting and when they got there it was just vin sauced up and leering at them. They are obviously uncomfortable.
I love Vin but he's abusive and too much power and money for his own good. He needs to get sober and take his responsibilities more seriously.
On the other hand i do understand how the racial discrimination someone like him must have gotten in Hollywood his whole career must have taken a toll on his mental health. For example, his struggles to secure producer credit and PGA status. Other actors have gotten vanity credit for much less than what vin has put into the series. For example, his short film Los Bandoleros, which explains how Lety and Vin team up again and get married between fast 1 and 4, was written, directed, and produced by him on 0 budget. He did that out of love for the franchise
@@MichaelSotoCE Lol I just love the thought of Vin just calling Jordana and Michelle and telling them it’s a production meeting, they’re like “oh great, should we invite the others??” And vin is like oh I already told them, both of you come. They come over and Vin is just waiting for them in the living room making a UA-cam video like “Hey my diesels it’s the diesel here and I’ve got letty and miaaaa!!! Say hi Mia!!!”
I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of research you do for your videos and podcasts. Editing is spot on also. I have not seen any of the Fast franchise films but I am curious, are there any actors that have an appearance in every one of these so far? Thanks for the entertainment!
Thanks for noticing the hard work!
Nobody is in all of them. Diesel is the closest, not in 2 and cameos in 3.
Can’t thank you enough for this long in-depth fast and furious video.
So Diesel is a control freak. This clearly explains that Vin made Jhonson angry at the set of Fast 8 despite of he himself showing up late of the set of Fast 7.
feud is over u dont have to talk about it, johnson didn't appear in F9 because he was too busy with hobbs & shaw
Han should have been the lead for 3, period. He was legit the most interesting and magnetic character of that whole film. Lucas was forgettable at best. Infuriates me that the studio’s time and time again make this mistake thinking only white actors can lead films, when that thinking is not only vilely racist, but extremely outdated. So them upset bc Lin was trying to resurrect him to save the franchise is laughable bc if they made him the lead in the first place it would’ve made the story 10x better all around.
Umm, I'll do you one better. Han should have been the lead for the series...
You are both right. But the movie would not have been watchable and the DK determining race wouldn't have had the impact that was there. Han was in the perfect position for the movie and there would have been no point to have to develope a character that couldn't drift at the beginning of the movie so Han would not have been the Mentor of the movie that is part of what fans like about his character. It would have been like taking Yoda out of The Empire Strikes Back.
Nobody of any color of any sex could make those films better each one worse than the one before it
May I be honest? .... I REALLY like Lucas in F9. He was more likable in that movie than the 3rd movie. They gave him a character, he was excitable, he was like Brian O'Conner except his was bright and colorful. If anything, I WANT Lucas in future movies if he's like who he was in F9. I
Ummm saving Han wasn't SAVING the Franchise, it was so fucking stupid.
I still remember after watching fast and furious 7, my son said:”Wow dad, they are stronger than the all of the Avengers”
of all the deaths in the world, i don't know why but Paul Walker's, a dude i had 0 connexion to, hit me still harder than some passed relatives.
i've never been a huge fan of the whole franchise, but jfc to this day, i still tear up every time i watch Fast 7.
rip brother.
Really Paul walker's death hit you harder than your own families' deaths? Wow.
@@WafflePancakes1314 That's what being manipulated by a PR propaganda machine looks like.
They think a guy who regularly exploited naive teenage girls for sex and died because he played "Dale Earnhardt" with his idiot friend in a 45-mph zone, was Jesus.
I always wish they would have stopped at Furious7 after bidding farewell to Paul Walker in a frankly touching way, but they had to chase the bag and proceeded to make two frankly shitty follow ups with the latest absolutely wrecking the reputation of the fast saga
It definitely devalued that entire ending to F7. Now going back to watch F7 it just looks like everyone being over-dramatic watching Brian play with his kid on the beach.
Right. I've watched it... stop fucking advertising it to me.
ratio
@@Shrek_Has_Covid19 it’s from 9 months ago who tf do you think you are
Ratio lol...
Have never watch any of this movie, I'm just not into vehicle movie but it's stan seem to love it and I'm happy for them
do you understand the gimmick of his channel
@@SNNetwork my comment was about the UA-cam algorithm constantly recommending me this video. Nothing to do with the video itself... which is shit anyway.
Honestly Hobbs and Shaw is the one I've enjoyed the most because it didn't take itself seriously and was just absolute insanity and I loved every moment of it
Ryan was awesome in it too
knowing about the passion, effort and love that goes into a project can really make me like something a lot more that i wasnt a massive fan of before. Great video!!
You’re welcome!
Wasn't it Johnson who called out Diesels tardiness not the other way around. That makes sense as Johnson has a reputation for hard work and Diesel an ego driven snowflake.
And with the recent news of Justin Lin quitting fast 10 due to diesels lack of work ethics, it further proves it.
Came here to say the same thing
I know, right? What I’ve come to learn is that this channel is highly biased and often misreport facts. Don’t know who exactly is running this channel, but they clearly have an agenda. Whatever that weak agenda is
@@ToneTitan learned that after watching the ghostbusters 2016 video he made
Pretty sure it was the other way around. The rock has a huge ego.
It is obvious the tragic death of Paul walker affected the series greatly he was probably the most professional one out of the 2 protagonist actors I feel like the franshise and even Vin Diesel went down after his passing.
Ya I feel like Paul kept everyone in line because he was well loved and respected by everyone and for Paul they respected each other.
Lmao we was a Pedophile
Not true at all. Vin Diesel was turning Paul into his sidekick since Fast 4
4:06" which one could argue had too much mythology." I totally agree with this sentiment. The "sequel" has such a huge tonal shift from the original Pitch Black Movie. I prefer Pitch Black simpler low budget movie than the Chronicles of Riddick.
I blame Diesel's obsession with mythology on his D&D experience.
It wasn’t enough that Riddick was a killer. He also had to be a prince of a space prophecy.
Vin Diesel became the new Steven Seagal. An unemotional, one dimensional, monotonous diva.
TBH, 1 to 3 was perfect at it is.
A movie about the street racing culture and Tokyo Drift being the best.
My theory is when Dom crashed in FF1 ending, everything that happened onwards is a halucination while Dom is on life support while in the hospital.
Thats why 'family' is important to Dom.
That's the only explanation for the ridiculous stunts 😂
Would be a great ending to franchise where in the last movie, the final scene is the scene of the car crash in FF1 when Dom and Brian was racing at the end and they both crashed due to the train and it shows both of them in the same room in hospital. they both are in a coma and having some weird long drawn out dream that the movies 4-10 takes place as a fantasy land. In the room is all the characters from FF1-7 waiting for them to wake up from their coma.
@@sparda9060 That wouldn't be a good ending imo, that would be just sad seeing them there in that state and us knowing that all those movies were basically fake and not worth our time if they were in a dream.
5th is the real ending to the franchise, everything after that never happened
they shamelessly continued with the franchise knowing that it would never be the same after Paul and here we are witnessing a 10th part of a shitfall
His brothers will play Paul Walker in f10... So..
But people still enjoy the films. That's why they make so much money.
I think it’s because it was promised to Paul that there’ll be 10 f&f films. But I won’t deny, they’re milking the saga for money.
8 and Hobbs and shaw weren't bad coz of Jason Statham,but I agree if Paul was there would've been better....f9 was a total shit fest
My brother in Christ left a comment without even watching the video lmao
Roger Corman giving up a movie's title rights in exchange for stock footage is so in character
Even if F5 was arguably considered the Peak, F7 should've been the perfect ending for how much respect was put into Paul Walker, may he Rest in Peace
Y’know what, Roger Corman asking for the stock footage in exchange for the naming rights is the most Roger Corman thing he could do.
I was just thinking that too lol
Yeah there was something really endearing that he just wanted some cool car footage for him to use instead of trying to gouge money out of them. Like a barter
@@Batchall_Accepted I doubt they would've been willing to pay that much, probably just use a different name.
I don't of him, is that a good thing?
@mighty_me8502 what he actually got wasn't stock footage of the fast and furious movies. It was Universal's ENTIRE stock footage library. He was granted unlimited access and actually made a stitched together film for SyFy that way.
They're should have stopped after 7. Paul Walker was practically the heart of the franchise.
Agreed. Without him, its just Diesel showing off how much he can't lose.
I'll be honest...watching 8 and 9....I didn't feel his absence, Like...at all. Maybe that's just me.
Well maybe, but The Fate of the Furious is still a good movie.
I usually don't watch these kinds of reviews, but this channel is actually amazing. The thought and effort placed into this analysis is epic. Thanks!
You’re welcome.
Don’t think of them as reviews though. More mini docs
I can't believe you don't have more subs than you do, I love this channel hearing how everything went in the background of movies.
I am a Filipino fan who absolutely enjoyed this bonkers franchise, it honestly devastated my young teenage self when Paul Walker died and the fact that he was willing to help me and my countrymen who suffered from the typhoon that devastated our lives just felt unreal, how could a good man like him end up dead just broke my old naive worldview, but the fact that they finished this and gave him a proper send-off was also one of the most heartwarming things I've ever watched in cinema, I still feel sad today about his passing but I am grateful for the passionate film and franchise he has helped created that molded my early childhood. Thank you Paul Walker.
We was a pedo
And it continues to this day with Justin Lin walking off the production of Fast X because of Vinny boy's RAGING EGO
I learned a lot about the franchise from this video. i was just rewatching all the films in preparation for fast x. one of my fav franchises no matter how crazy the stories are. its one of them franchises you can just turn your brain off and enjoy the crazyness
I honestly always loved "unrealistic" movies like F&F. The first time I saw Paul Walker and Vin Diesel driving, I fell in love with racing movies and games.
The editing on these videos is absolutely insane attention to detail.
Feels just like the best Saturday morning watching movie reviews as a kid!
Thank you! Love it when the editing gets noticed. It’s a lot of work.
*Ah man... Fast Five still give me chills since 2011 golden of year. but sad of year 2013... :-(
I would’ve been fine if they ended it at 7 the ending was done really well and it would’ve went off on a high note
8 is the best one though, 10 is awesome too.
I must say, this is a FANTASTIC documentary about the whole ordeal! Incredibly cohesive, engaging, and informative!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a great video. I've actually never seen any of the Fast films, but this really has me respecting everyone involved.
Its been almost 10 years since paul walker passed and i still get teary eyed hearing about it
You know I never realized it’s actually been 10 years I was 10 when he died which is crazy… like time really has passed
I always cry every November 30. I miss him so much.
Why do people like him, he wasn’t in many movies . Only fast and furious
Same here Qushawn it seem like it was just yesterday when I heard the news 📰 of Paul Walker’s death I still miss him , but my sister missed him even more especially since she was a big fan since he played in this one movie 🎥 “ She’s all That” which is still a classic for her
May he Rest In Peace 💐
Me too
I've been a fan of this series from the beginning. but with the last movie they really screwed up. Avangers is even less science fiction
I agree. The moment Diesel showed up in a foreign war torn country wearing only a white Tshirt, I knew it was going to be more of him showing off how he can never lose.
It brings a tear to my eye every time Paul's smile is on screen. Cant believe its coming up 10 years.
my dude, that conclusion..... that's just gold.
congrats on this vid.
Bro, idgaf what anyone says. The first Fast & the Furious was amazing! Every movie afterwards got progressively worse (except for a couple, including 5 ) . I still have a soft spot in my heart for Tokyo Drift. Not because of the main character, but because of Han, the Tokyo scenery, and, of course, the Drifting
There are some really beautiful shots In Tokyo drift.
I absolutely adore the atmosphere and aesthetic.
My favorite scene is when han is talking to Sean on the roof overlooking the soccer field on the building.
And he talks about his past. That scene is perfect
@@bowiesensei5574 Yeah Han and even the bad guy D.K. was actually cool. What holds that movie back is Lucas Black not being able to act at all.
@@THE_BEAR_JEW how did he ever get a career in acting? Same thing happened in Friday night lights. Dude would’ve been perfect on a sitcom from the 90’s
@@THE_BEAR_JEW Maaa raaad.
God, 19:45 hit so hard. I know it's sad for most people, But parents see things like this through eyes that weren't open, until the day our children were born. As a movie lover, I can't thank my daughter enough for giving me the ability to see scenes like that through new eyes. He was so young, and his daughter was just entering the age where most daughters start bonding with their dads on another level. Where she would have just started seeing him as a person, and not just dad. A friend. But there's no such thing as "just dad". Being a dad is the greatest part of me. I love my daughters more than I ever thought possible. Life is far too short.
I cried reading this
Was watching this today, which happens to by daughter's birthday, and had been not long before looking through the photo memories generation by iPhone since when she was an infant. To say the moment that montage of him began with his baby girl hit hard would be apt. Then someone thought it would be a good idea to start cutting onions in my house at the exact same moment. Timing.
Yeah that part got me too. Seeing him with his daughter. I have two girls now and it made me choke up a little thinking about them having to go through something like that.
Pitch black really is a very good film one of my favorite
It had such a special vibe
Fear, comical, action, tension,
Bad ass dark hero, its all there
Really enjoyed this! There was a lot of interesting behind the scenes info I’d never heard.
Man I remember when Paul Walker died you couldn't get away from it. When ever I turned on my Xbox 360 there he was all over the dashboard
Man, that ending did not age well at all. Lin walked off set and Dwayne Johnson wants no part of the franchise, and honestly I can not blame either one. Vin got that sweet taste of success and let it go straight to his head, then forgot where he came from and who made him. He may claim to be "all about the people", but with how shitty he's been behind the scenes, you couldn't tell. Hell, even a very vocal small percentage of the fan base are turning their backs on the movies and those numbers are rising.
Me? I'm far too invested to just not watch this train wreck and will be there to watch it too the bitter end.
I watched Fast 9 and felt like it was a waste of time. Heck, I couldn't even finish Hobbs and Shaw. The movies changed from car action movies and police chases, to a cheesy superhero movie where the director is the main character.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the Rock shows up for the finale film which is supposed to be part 2 to Fast X since DC probably pissed him off even more.
Mamoa is the new rock anyway. The rock over saturated the audience pool by doing too much too quick and people are now tired of seeing him.
@@arfhat89
Well, guess what...
That was a wonderful summary of the series. Great work dude
"Spoiler Warning" like yeah dude, I know! Almost every car in this movie has one.
