People share 25 moments from 'Fast and the Furious' that abandoned reality and it's hilarious
The makers of 'Fast & Furious' can take these examples as our request to them to come to terms with reality.
"Fast & Furious" (also known as "The Fast and the Furious") is a media franchise centered on a series of action films about street racing, heists, spies and family. The saga began with the release of the first film in 2001, which launched the original tetralogy of films centered on illegal street racing and culminated in the film "Fast & Furious" (2009).
With "Fast Five" (2011), the series shifted to heists and spying, and it was followed by five sequels, the most recent of which is "Fast X" set to release on May 19, 2023. The film franchise, which stars Vin Diesel, Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, the late Paul Walker and many other stars, has amassed a worldwide following. Evidently, the series of films contain scenes that seem like they weren't from Earth and that the makers might have forgotten the laws of science while creating them.
Films are meant to transcend you to another universe but some can be set in the real world and still be beyond our comprehension. Twitter user @KevOnStage asked: "What was the moment 'Fast and the Furious' abandoned reality? I was trying to think of the exact point." To no fan's surprise, tweets started coming in with multiple such instances.
Here are 25 of them that made us feel the franchise is too bizarre to be from this planet but also made us love the films. Your FOMO is going to be furious if you don't turn to these moments fast:
